PRODUCT DESCTIPTION
The In-Line Electronic Control Handle is designed specically
to dispense motor oils, automatic transmission uid, antifreeze
(Glycol) and antifreeze/water soulution. Perfect balance,
lightweight, ruggedness, and comfortable grip make it the
best choice for overhead reel systems.
The electronic register module can be programmed to
dispense in pints, quarts, liters, or gallons and will totalize in
liters or gallons. A calibration factor and unit of measure are
programmed during factory test. A 5-digit liquid crystal display,
accurate to the third decimal place, shows the exact amount
of uid dispensed.
Caution:
1) Always read and follow the uid manufacturers’s
recommendations regarding the use of protective
eye wear, clothing, gloves, and other personal
equipment.
2) Never alter or modify any parts of this product;
doing so may cause damage and/or personal
injury.
!
Do not place your hand or ngers over the
dispensing nozzle and/or aim the nozzle at
a person at any time. Personal injury may
result.
WARNING
!
GENERAL SAFETY
Always use the following
Pressure Relief Procedure
whenever shutting off, cleaning, or
in any way checking or servicing the control handle:
1) Disconnect compressed air line or turn off power
supply at the uid pump.
2) Point the control handle outlet into a waste
container and open trigger to relieve pressure.
3) Open any bleed-type supply air valves and uid
drain valves in the system.
4) Leave the drain valves open until you are ready to
re-pressurize the system.
WARNING
!
WARNING

DANGER: Not for use with uids that
have a ash point below 100°F ( 38°C,
examples: gasoline, alcohol). Sparking
could result in an explosion which could
result in death.
IMPORTANT
!
Read these safety warnings
and instructions in this manual
completely, before installation
and start up of the control
handle. It is the responsibility
of the purchaser to retain this manual for reference.
Failure to comply with the recommendations stated in
this manual will damage the control handle and void
factory warranty.
WARNING
!
Airborne particles and loud noise
hazards.
Wear ear and eye protection.

MODES OF OPERATION
Normal mode is the standard dispensing mode. While
the meter is counting, the batch and resettable totals are
displayed at the same time (see Figure 3 below).
If one of the keys is accidentally pressed it has no effect on
dispensing or the batch or resettable totals. A few seconds
after dispensing is complete, the lower totalizer will switch
from the resettable total to the non-resettable total. The word
reset above the word total disappears, and the resettable total
is replaced by the non-resettable total in the display (See
Figure 4 below). This is called standby mode and remains
on the display while the meter is not in use.
Batch Totalizer Reset
The batch totalizer can be reset by pressing the RESET to
zero button when the meter is in standby mode, meaning
when the the word “TOTAL” is in the display (See Figure 5
below).
Once the reset button has been pressed, all digits in the
display will momentarily light up (See Figure 6 below) and
then the display will blank out momentarily. When the display
comes back on, the batch total and the resettable totals will
be shown in the display (See Figure 7). After approximately
5 seconds the resettable total will revert to standby mode
(See Figure 8).
Figure 3 Figure 4
Figure 5 Figure 6
Figure 7 Figure 8
Resetting the Resettable Total
The resettable total can only be reset after resetting the batch
totalizer. To reset the resettable total, press the RESET button
once to reset the batch total. When the display comes back
on (See Figure 7 above), press and hold the RESET button
until all digits in the display light up then blank out momentarily.
When the display re-illuminates, the resettable total will read
0.0 (See Figure 9).
OPERATION
Depressing the Reset to zero button before each use resets
the batch totalizer to zero. Squeeze the trigger handle to
dispense the uid. The re-settable totalizer is displayed when
the reset to zero button is pressed. After approximately 5
seconds the non-resettable totalizer is displayed in the lower
right. If the units dispensed are pints, quarts, or gallons, the
totalizers will read in gallons. If the units dispensed are liters,
the totalizers will read in liters.

CALIBRATION
It is highly recommended to perform meter calibration before
the rst use of the meter. The meter allows for precise
calibration by modifying the calibration factor (k factor).
To display the current k factor, press and hold the CALbutton
when the display is in standby mode and the current k factor
will be displayed. If the k factor has never been modied,
the factory k factor is displayed. If you are using the meter
with the “factory k factor”, the display will appear as shown
(See Figure 11 below).
If the k factor has been modied, the word “USER” will appear
in the display below the k factor (See Figure 12 below).
There are two ways to perform calibration of the meter:
- Field calibration, performed by dispensing
while in “Field” calibration mode.
- Direct calibration, performed by directly
modifying the calibration factor.
Figure 11
Figure 12
NOTE
!
For proper calibration is is important to:
- completely eliminate air from the system
- use an accurate sample container not less than
5 quarts
- during calibration, ensure dispensing is done at
a contant ow rate equivalent to normal
dispensing until the container reaches the 5
quart mark. You may start and stop the ow but
do not “trickle” ow
- after dispensing wait a short period to ensure
any air bubbles have dissipated

CONFIGURATION - Unit of Measure
The meter has four possible combinations of units of measure
that can be set based on the table below.
Batch Totalizer Totals Register
Liters (L) Liters (L)
Gallons (Gal) Gallons (Gal)
Quarts (Qt) Gallons (Gal)
Pints (Pt) Gallons (Gal)
To change between these combinations, the meter
must be in standby mode (See Figure 5). With the
meter in standby mode, press and hold the
RESET and CAL buttons simultaneously. The word “Unit”
will appear in the display. You can then change the unit of
measure by pressing the RESET button until the desired
combination of units of measure is displayed. To save the
new unit of measure, press and hold the CAL button. The
meter will momentarily show all of the display digits lit up
(See Figure 6), will go through its startup cycle then will go
to standby mode.

more rapid adjustment.
If the meter value is
higher than the actual

the RESET button
again and the “up”

the actual value, press
and hold the RESET
button to end calibra-
tion. This stores the
new k factor, which will
be displayed momen-
tarily after which the
meter will return to
standby mode.
Direct Modication of k factor
Direct modication of the k factor is useful to correct a “mean
error” based on serveral dispenses. If normal meter operation
shows a mean percentage error, this can be corrected by
applying a percentage correction factor to the current k factor.
The percentage correction of the k factor must be calculated
using the formula below:
New k factor = Old k factor x
Example:
Error percentage found E% -0.9%
Current k factor 1,000
New User k factor 1,000 * [(100-(0,9))/100]=
1,000 * [(100+0,9)/100]=1,009

BATTERY REPLACEMENT
To change the batteries:
- Press the RESET button to update all totals
- Remove the screws on from the battery cover
- Remove the cover
- Remove the old batteries
- Place new batteries in the meter (2 x AAA Alkaline)
* Always replace both batteries at the same time
* Conrm that the batteries are in the correct
position
- Replace the cover and screws
- Press the Reset to zero button and the meter will switch
on, normal operation can now be resumed
The meter will display the same Resettable Total, the same
Total and the same Batch indicated before the batteries were
changed. After changing the batteries the meter does not
need to be recalibrated.
MAINTENANCE
The meter is designed to be virtually maintenance free. The
only maintenance required is periodic battery replacement
and cleaning of the uid chamber if a reduction in ow is
observed.
The meter comes complete with two 1.5 V size AAA alkaline
batteries. The function of the low-battery alarm is shown in
the table below.

When the battery
voltage falls below the

NOTE: Replacing the batteries will not affect the
k factor.
If the meter indicates less than the actual amount dispensed
(negative error), the new k factor must be higher then the
old k factor as shown in the example. The opposite applies
if the meter shows more than the actual amount dispensed
(positive error).
