3.2.1 ELECTRICAL WIRING FOR PULSER
VERSION
If you bought our pulser model, the flowmeter is
fitted with a 2m cable with 5 internal wirers to be
connected as follows:
1. Yellow wire: power + 12 Vdc
2. Brown wire: power 0 Vdc
3. Green wire: pulser channel 100 imp/unit
4. White and grey wires: Relay contact should you
desire to control the pump with the meter ( max
24Vdc 500mAh)
Once connected to power supply, the meter will
“Beep”, this sound beeps at each button pressure
(this happens only with pulser version).
It is important to know that the system is genera-
ting pulses 0-12Vdc with maximum frequency 2
milliseconds.
Should the meter control the pump, the button
will activate the pump while button stops it.
Two default settings are available and settable in
the system:
1. 60 seconds: to start the transaction after pres-
sing button
2. 20 seconds: seconds without pulse will stop the
transaction.
3.3 KEY DISPLAY

Starting from the “Partial” screen and at each time
button is pressed, system will scroll between
last 5 transactions. To go back to “partial” screens
wait 10 seconds without pressing buttons.

3.5 SECONDARY FUNCTIONS
The device has some secondary function, neces-
sary to the good operation of the meter which are:
calibration, unit selection and instantaneous flow
rate.
3.5.1 CALIBRATION
The meter is supplied with a pre-calibration car-
ried out for liquid diesel at 20 °C. Calibration is
required when metering a different fluid, after dis-
assembly, at different temperature or after signifi-
cant wear. A proving container or a container of
KNOWN volume will be needed for the calibration
procedure. It is recommended that the container
volume be at least 19 liters (5 gallons).

ATTENTON: the system does not allow a cali-
bration if quantity transferred is under 5 litres.
Calibration procedure
1. Starting from “Partial” screen, fill up the calibra-
tion jug to a known volume; it is important to do
this at a flow rate of minimum 10 litres a minute
without topping up else calibration could be inac-
curate. Use the nozzle fully open.
2. if the displayed quantity is not matching the
measured quantity the meter must be calibrated.
3. to enter in calibration mode, display will
show “CAL” blinking
4. to confirm, will display last quantity
transferred blinking in current unit
of measure
5. Increase or decrease that quantity using
or
buttons until correct quantity i displayed.
6. Wait 10 seconds to confirm and save automati-
cally this new calibration.

4.2 CLEANING THE TURBINE
The meter has 2 magnets fitted into the turbine.
This magnets could attract metallic powders (if
present) that could block the turbine into the meter
body. For that reason, it could be necessary to pe-
riodically verify and eventually clean the magnets.
To do this, unscrew the internal shaft and its bolt.
Take care to reassemble the turbine in the correct
mode as illustrated hereafter. .
Be careful when reassembling the turbine in the
correct direction, as in the following figure:
1. Rimove the 4 screws on the back of the meter
2. Exchange the 2 batteries with 2 AAA 1.5V alkali-
ne batteries
3. Reposition the body on the cover taking care of
not squeezing wires.
4. Screw the 4 screws to tighten the body to the
cover.
