IMPORTANT! 

 If you have purchased this meter 

as part of a “Kit”, the meter flange base is drilled 

with 4 holes.  This  allows the meter to be used 

with 300 and 700 series pumps.  Line the meter 

bracket up for installation and insert the bolts in the 

two holes that align with the corresponding holes 

on the pump outlet.  Once the meter bracket is 

bolted securely in place install the two plugs in the 

holes that were not used to prevent moisture from 

entering them.

Meter Calibration

 

Meter calibration is required upon installation, after disassembly, after significant wear, 

or when dispensing a different viscosity fluid. Calibration must be done between 6 and 

40 GPM (23 and 151 LPM).  Meter calibration can be easily changed by following the 

calibration procedure. A container of KNOWN volume will be needed for the calibration 

procedure. For the 900 series digital meter, a five gallon container or larger (or a 20 liter 

container or larger) should be used. 

Procedure for Meter Calibration 

Unit of measure and calibration is configured using a 3-step process. 
1.  Select the desired unit of measure

2. 

Fill a container with a known volume using the desired fluid.

3.  Enter the amount of fluid dispensed.
Prior to calibration, the unit must be placed in calibration mode.  Press and hold the TOTAL 
and CAL buttons for 5 seconds to enter Calibration Mode.

IMPORTANT! 

 When calibrating, the totalizers will not increase in value.

1.  The unit will default to the last unit of 

measure used.

2. 

Press and release the TOTAL button 

to toggle through the available units of 

measure.

3.  Press and hold the CAL button for 2 

seconds to move to the next step.

4. 

If the meter is left untouched for 2 minutes 

or the RESET button is pressed, the unit 

will automatically exit Calibration Mode 

and ignore any changes in volume.

Totalizer

IMPORTANT! 

Dispensing into a container with a known volume allows the unit 

to automatically calculate the internal scaling value to compensate for fluid 

viscosities and the system flow rate. 

5.    

CAL 2 

will be displayed.

6.    Begin dispensing fluid into the container.

7.    

FILL

 will begin to blink after fluid flow is detected.

8.    Dispense the desired amount fluid; stop flow as soon as desired level is reached.

9.    Press and hold the CAL button for 2 seconds to move to the next step.

IMPORTANT! 

 If left untouched for 2 minutes, or the RESET button is pressed, 

the meter will exit Calibration Mode and any dispensed fluid will be ignored.
