TRIP FUNCTION
CALIBRATION
CALIBRATION CAPACITY
The meter is fitted with a “Trip” meter which shows the accumulated fluid volume released since the last “reset”.
This function enables recording the register of the fluid volume released from a barrel or tank. Set the “Trip” me-
ter to zero when starting a new barrel or tank and then perform the individual transactions with the partial meter.
The partial meter can be reset since this will not affect the “Trip” meter. Thus in the “Trip” meter the volume
released will be kept for all transactions since the last reset and the remaining volume in the barrel or tank can
be ascertained.
When the meter is in normal status (partial meter) (fig. 7), the “Trip” meter can be shown by pressing the SELECT
button (fig. 8).
The “Trip” meter (fig. 9) can be set to zero. To do so, keep the ON/RESET button for a while when in “Trip” mode.
The units shown in the “Trip” meter will be the same as for those selected for the partial meter.
To return to normal mode (partial meter), press the SELECT button twice in a row.
Total meter
•
The meter is fitted with a Total meter which shows the accumulated the fluid volume released since
the meter was put into operation for the first time. The Total meter cannot be reset.
•
When the meter is in normal status (partial meter) (fig. 10), the Total meter (fig. 13) can be shown by
pressing the SELECT button (fig. 11) twice in a row.
•
It is enough to press the SELECT button again (fig. 12) to return to the partial meter mode (fig. 10).
•
The total meter does not take into account the quantities released during the calibration process.
•
The changes in the calibration factor do not affect the value stored in the total meter.
Automatic meter reset
Both the partial meter and the total meter are reset to zero when reaching the value 99999.
The meter is calibrated in the factory and does not normally require calibration for the oils generally used in
workshops. Nevertheless, if using fluids with high or low viscosity, as well as if working with high flows or very
low flows, calibration may be required.
Calibration may be required after having used the meter for a long time, especially if working with fluids with
dirty residues.
Verify the precision of the meter prior to use and proceed with calibration if required.
In order to perform the calibration process correctly the following rules must be adhered to:
1.
The calibration can be performed for any volume, however it is recommended for a minimum of 1
litre. As a maximum 25 litres can be used.
2.
The container used must be calibrated and be completely empty (prior use of the container can
easily leave behind 0.1 l even if it seems empty). Put the container upside down for a while, or clean
it before starting the calibration process.
If you would like a truly accurate calibration, you must use precision scales and know the density
of the fluid. With the density data the volume to be released is converted (ahem.: 1, 2, 3 … litres) to
mass units.
3.
When the fluid is being released you must wait until all the air contained in it is eliminated. This can
take some time. If precision scales are used the accumulation of air has no effect.
After the calibration process you will obtain precision within the range of ±0.5% with the meter. If the meter
exceeds this range it could be due to the following:
•
Unsuitable container used for the calibration.
•
The container is not empty before the calibration.
•
Air in the fluid which has not been completely removed.
•
The values are not properly introduced into the calibration process.

CALIBRATION PROCEDURE
CHANGE IN MEASURING UNITS
The calibration process is semi-automatic. To start the process, the meter must be in partial meter mode (fig. 14)
and is accessed by simultaneously pressing the buttons ON/RESET and SELECT for 3 seconds (fig. 15). After
releasing the buttons the current calibration factor is shown on the meter (fig. 16).
If the screen does not show the correct measuring unit (fig. 16) press the SELECT button (fig. 17) successively
until displaying the required unit (fig. 18).
Press ON/RESET (fig. 19) to start the calibration process (fig. 20).
It now starts to release the desired volume into the container. Remember that you must release at least 1 litre to
perform a good calibration. In the example shown in the figures it is assumed that 2 litres are released according
to the reading on the calibrated container and that the meter records 2.1 litres (fig. 21).
To administer the real quantity released (which is that measured in the calibrated container or scales), press the
ON/RESET button for 1 second (fig. 22). The digits start to flash (fig. 23) indicating that the value shown can be
modified. Each press of the ON/RESET button increases the value by 0.1 litres and each press of the SELECT
button (fig. 24) reduces this value by 0.1 litres (fig. 25).
Once the real value released is set (fig. 25) press the ON/RESET button for 1 second (fig. 26). The meter shows
the new stored calibration factor (fig. 27) and then exits the calibration process. The screen shows the partial
meter with the units set during the calibration process (fig. 28).
If, during any phase of the calibration process, you wish to exit without saving the changes made you must
press the SELECT button for 1 second. Likewise, if 30 seconds of inactivity elapse during the process, the meter
switches off automatically and exits the calibration process without storing the data.
The meter can be configured to use litres [L], gallons [G], pints [P] or quarters [Q].
When making a change from one unit to another the conversion of the quantity stored is made both in the partial
meter and in the total meter.
Setting the units
Set the partial meter mode in the meter (fig. 29). Proceed by simultaneously pressing the buttons ON/RESET and
SELECT for 1 second (fig. 30) and release the buttons. “Unit” is shown on the meter display.
Press the SELECT button (fig. 31) to alternately change the units. Once the desired unit is set, press the ON/
RESET button (fig. 32) to save the configuration and enter the normal meter mode.
If, during the unit change process 30 seconds elapse without the meter being pressed it will change to the OFF
mode.
To ensure that the required quantity of
fluid is released always use the same measurement unit for a specific fluid.
The changes in units must only be carried out by authorised employees.
