Measuring details
5.1
A change of the measurement units is not provided. The measurement will be effected based on a
special relation of impulses to the displayed volume. Based on this the displayed volume will be shown
accordingly. This is an unchangeable part of the firmware and defines the measuring unit. Volume units
will be measured. It makes sense therefore to define the units in cm³ or litres. Units in KG are optional
requiring a constant density of the grease to be measured. The release is (a decimal point will be preset):
Partial volume: Display 0000,0 cm³, this means 0,1g or 0,1 cm³.
■
■
Exceeding of 9999,9 cm³ the release will change to 1 cm³
■
■
Total: Display 00,000 TON (1000 l), this means 0,001 – 1 l or 1000 cm³
■
■
When exceeding the measurement totals the decimal point will be adjusted accordingly.
■
■
The display symbol “L“ stands for “TON“ or 1000 l, “I“ for gramme or cm³
Operation /Function
5.2
See the description of the function in the following.
Explanation of the pushbuttons:
RESET
Press the right pushbutton labelled with ‚RESET‘ for a short time
RESET
press for a long time. Press the right pushbutton longer than 1 sec.
TOTAL
Press the left pushbutton labelled with ‚TOTAL‘ for a short time
TOTAL
press for a long time. Press the left pushbutton longer than 1 sec.
RESET + TOTAL
simulteaneous longer pressing (1 sec) of both pushbuttons.
Activating
5.3
The meter will be activated automatically when pressing any pushbutton or a measuring process starts.
When activating the meter by pressing of a pushbutton the previous measuring result will not be deleted.
Switch-off
5.4
The meter automatically switches to stand-by mode after an inactivity of 10 minutes
Main display
5.5
The meter can display “partial volume“ or “total volume“ (TOTAL) alternatively. The pushbutton TOTAL
alternates between the bothe displays “Total“ and “partial volume“. The symbol “TOTAL“ activates
automatically in the display depending on the volume requested. The pushbuttons are blocked for 3
seconds when measuring (continuous display, measuring impulses).
Total
5.6
This display shows the symbol TOTAL. The grease meter adds the total of all measurements with max.
3 decimal places. The decimal point when starting a measuring process starts with “0,000“ and will be
adjusted automatically depending on the volume to be measured. The displayed volume can be reset
by pressing of the pushbutton RESET for long time. TOTAL short switches to the display “partial volume“.
RESET short switches to display “partial volume“ and delets the displayed partial volume for a new
measuring process.
Partial volume
5.7
In this display the symbol TOTAL is not visible. The counter “partial volume“ accounts the current
measurement with one decimal. The decimal point will be adjusted to the display and starts with “0,0“.
