Electronic Flow Meter
Thank you for purchasing Lumax
®
Electronic Flow Meter. Please read this Operational Manual carefully. It is important that you read the
entire manual to become familiar with the unit before you begin assembly and/or operate the unit. Lumax Electronic Flow Meter is ideal
for metering the transfer of fluids. It is simple and easy to use. It can be installed in-line or at the end of the delivery hose before the nozzle. Using precision turbine measuring technology, Lumax
Electronic Flow Meter measure liquids accurately and conveniently. Large 1” (25mm) LCD display can be calibrated in Gallons, Quarts, Pints and Liters. It has an easy-to-read five-digit LCD display
for accurate readings while dispensing fluids, with a Totalizer (resettable) to track total usage. The display can be rotated at any angle which simplifies the reading in any position. Field replaceable
batteries provide power and are easily accessible - simply loosen four screws on the back of the unit.

• Do not expose the electronic meter to direct sunlight. Use Cover or Shield for outdoor installation.
• The apparatus enclosure may contain aluminum and is considered to constitute a potential risk of ignition by impact or friction. Care must be taken into account during
installation and use to prevent impact or friction.
• Part of the enclosure is constructed from plastic. To prevent the risk of electrostatic sparking the plastic surface should only be cleaned with a damp cloth.
• When metering flammable liquids, observe precautions against fire or explosion. Do not meter in the presence of any source of ignition including running or hot engines,
lighted cigarettes, or gas or electric heaters.
• If handling hazardous liquids, always follow the manufacturer’s safety precautions. Wear protective clothing such as goggles, gloves and respirators as instructed.
Always dispose of used cleaning solvents in a safe manner according to the solvent manufacturer’s instructions.
• During meter removal, liquid may spill. Follow the liquid manufacturer’s safety precautions to clean up minor spills.
• Do not blow compressed air through the meter.
• Do not submerge the meter.

Warning:
Although Gasoline is oil based, it is Explosive & Extremely Dangerous to pump. Ground Wires are essential and required for Gasoline and Flammables
Warning:
This product is not intended for potable water applications (human consumption – drinking and cooking) and has not been designed to be compliant with the “Safe Drinking Water Act”
requirements for low lead in potable water applications. This item is for use only in non-potable (non-human consumption) water applications.
Materials (Cannot be Pumped):

Caution:
The above Materials List is to be referred for guidance only in selecting equipment for appropriate chemical compatibility.
ALWAYS
test your equipment under the specific conditions of your
application before permanent installation. Ratings of chemical behavior listed in this manual apply at a 48 hour exposure period. Lumax has no knowledge of possible effects beyond this period. All
recommendations are based on room temperature (72°F/22°C) exposure. Compatibility results may deviate from these recommendations at elevated temperatures. Recommendations are based on
presence of listed chemical only. Mixtures containing more than one chemical can greatly affect chemical compatibility. Polypropylene products and components should not be used with low flash
point chemicals, regardless of chemical compatibility results. Failure, improper selection, or improper use of the products referred to and described herein or related items can cause severe personal
injury or property damage. This document and other information provides product options for further investigation by users having technical expertise. It is important that you analyze all aspects of
your application and review the information concerning the product or system.
Due to the variety of operating conditions and applications for these products, the user, through his or her own analysis and testing, is solely responsible for making the final selection of the products

Do Not
drain into Street Drains, House Drains, or
Backyards. Contact your local Municipal Waste Management officials for proper disposal methods.
If there is any question about a condition being safe or unsafe, do not operate the meter.
Before Installation:
Upon receipt, examine your meter for visible damage. If the item is damaged, contact your distributor. Make sure the meter model meets your specific needs. Refer to the
Specifications Section and confirm the following:
1.
The flow-rate is within the limits of your model.
2.
The
liquid is compatible with your meter’s material.
3.
The
system’s pressure does not exceed the meter’s maximum pressure rating.
Connections: 1.
To protect against leakage, make sure all threads are sealed with two or three turns of thread tape or a sealing compound compatible with the liquid being metered.
Caution:
Make sure the thread tape or sealing compound does not interfere with flow.
2.
Make sure the arrow on the outlet is pointing in the direction of the flow.
3.
Tighten the meter onto the fittings. Hand tighten. Using a wrench could damage the meter.
Display Positioning:
Square shape housing allows
the
LCD Display
to be rotated
in any position for easy display readings. The LCD Display Card is easily accessible, by removing the faceplate cover
and unscrewing the four screws. The LCD Display can be rotated in any direction to suit the piping system.
Caution:
Make sure you remove the LCD Display Card very slowly and
carefully to ensure that any damage to the Wires, Connections,
or the LCD Display Card is avoided.
Operating Modes:
Choose between two modes of operation:
- Normal Mode: Display of Partial and TOTAL
amount dispensed
- Flow Rate Mode: Display of Flow Rate and Partial dispensed quantities
The meter features a non-volatile memory, for storing the dispensing data
for longer periods in the case of power outage.
The electronic measurements are displayed in the upper part of
the LCD Display. They are isolated from the liquid measuring Chamber.
LCD Display:
The LCD Display of the Lumax Electronic Flow Meters features two numerical registers and several function or status indicators:
