INSTALLATION
Installation should be performed only by qualified
personnel, and in accordance with local governing
regulations.
GENERAL INFORMATION
This manual will assist you in operating and maintaining
the GPI electronics supplied with your GPI meter or as an
accessory unit on both local and remote models. The GPI
Electronics can be used in indoor or outdoor applications
where occasional exposure to moisture is common.
• The Pulse Out with Display is available in two versions.
One indicates flowrate in units/minute and one in units/
hour. Both indicate flow totals in gallons and litres.
• The Pulse Out with Display can be used on all GPI
models, including the Precision G series, the Industrial
Grade G2 series, the Commercial Grade A1 series, and
the positive displacement GM Series oval gear meters.
• The Pulse Out with Display can be battery powered or
externally powered.
Product differences in this manual are identified by either,
Local
or
Remote
as necessary.
The Display may come calibrated from the factory for gal-
lons “GAL” and litre “LTR” and be
locked out
“PRESET” to
prevent unwanted calibrations. Field calibrations are available
on “CAL B” and “CAL C.”
If the unit was purchased as an accessory or remote, the
calibration has not been entered and the end user will be re-
quired to calibrate the display. The gallon and litre calibration
may then be
locked out
using the configuration procedure.
To determine if the Pulse Out with Display has been configured
and calibrated at the factory to your specific meter, view the
display. If “GAL” is followed by the word “PRESET,” it has
been configured and calibrated. If “GAL”
is not
followed by
the word “PRESET,” the display must be calibrated.
• When measuring flammable liquids, observe precau
-
tions against fire or explosion.
• When working in hazardous environments, always
exercise appropriate safety precautions.
• Be sure O-rings and seals are kept in good repair.
• When applying power, use DC power
only!
• Disconnect external power before attaching or detach
-
ing input or output wires.

Connecting the Battery
G series and GM models are shipped with batteries. To save
power, the display is shipped with the battery disconnected.
To connect the battery:
1. Remove the two large and two small screws from the
battery coverplate located on the lower portion of the
meter face.
2. Insert the battery. When properly connected, numbers
will appear in the readout.
NOTE: To protect the terminals from corrosion, coat with
petroleum jelly.
3. Replace the gasket and battery cover, then tighten all
four screws.
Remote Installation
Choose a mounting location suitable for the Display. The ideal
mounting location is where the:
• flowmeter is as close as possible.
• mounting surface has minimal vibration.
• ambient temperature is +14°F to 140°F (–10°C to 60°C).
• cable lengths are minimal.
