Badger Meter epm-3 User manual

DESCRIPTION
The Radio Frequency Fluid Management System (RF-FMS) by
Badger Meter® consists of an A/C powered keypad and a
battery-powered RF-radio equipped meters. The product has
been designed to offer greater control over the dispensing of
fluids with significant reductions in installation costs, and the
associated hardware common to most hard-wired systems today.
Dispense information and authorization is communicated from
the keypad to the meter. The dispense information is transmitted
back to the keypad via 2.4 GHz direct sequence spread spectrum
radio communications.
APPLICATION
The EPM-3 RF meter is designed specifically to meter and
dispense bulk fluids for servicing automobiles, trucks,
buses, construction equipment and similar applications. It
is a lightweight, rugged and shock-resistant design with a
comfortable grip and is ideal for dispensing motor oils
(S.A.E. 5…50), gear oils (S.A.E. 80…240), automatic transmission
fluid, antifreeze (ethylene glycol) solution and hydraulic fluid.
Typical applications include:
• Fleet maintenance shops
• Industrial assembly
• Quick lube facilities
• Dealerships
• Construction and mining equipment
• General automotive service centers
• Specialty service and repair shops
The EPM-3 RF meter uses four replaceable AA batteries and is
calibrated at the factory. The meter can also be recalibrated easily in
the field for a fluid with a different viscosity.
OPERATION
The EPM-3 RF meter is equipped with RF communications to
communicate with a fluid management system keypad to get
authorization and dispense information.
Once a work order has been entered at the keypad, press RESET
on the meter to start communications between the meter and
the keypad. The meter receives authorization from the keypad
to unlock, along with the dispense batch quantity. When the
trigger is pulled, the preset batch quantity dispenses. The meter
automatically shuts off when the dispense batch quantity has
been reached.
A top-off feature allows additional fluid to be dispensed and tracked
after the batch quantity has been dispensed.
Upon completion of the dispense, press RESET. The meter locks,
prohibiting any unauthorized dispense of fluid, and the dispense
quantity is sent to the keypad.
