The PD340 MBTS Magnetic Flow Meter has been reviewed as a stand
alone unit and found to comply with the intent of the applicable
provisions of the Grade A Pasteurized Milk Ordinance (PMO) for
HTST milk pasteurizing systems when installed and operated with
manufacturers operating instructions and the following
provisions:
 
      1.    The flow meter shall be installed in compliance with
            the criteria for COMPONENTS and PLACEMENT OF
            COMPONENTS detailed in Appendix H., Magnetic Flow
            Meter Based Timing Systems for HTST Pasteurizers,
            Grade A Pasteurized Milk Ordinance.
 
      2.    The flow meter is programmed at the factory and has
            a lock switch inside the cover.  The flow meter
            converter shall have restricted access to protect
            the programmed conversion factors.  It will come
            with temporary seals from the manufacturer.  On
            installation, the regulatory agency shall seal by
            the application of seals through the drilled cover
            bolts that are provided.
 
      3.    The eight preset registers shall be verified by the
            regulatory agency upon installation and when
            regulatory seals have been broken in accordance with
            G & H PD340 MBTS instructions.  It will be necessary
            for the user to provide access to G & H PD210
            display unit for use by the regulatory agency.
 
      4.    When installed, the flow meter shall comply with all
            test requirements (2A - 2F) of test 11, PMO, for
            Magnetic Flow Meters.
