INSTALLATION AND OPERATION MANUAL
| 900CD DIGITAL METER
To insure safe and proper operation of your equipment, it is critical to read and adhere to
all of the following safety warnings and precautions. Improper installation or use of this
product can cause serious bodily injury or death!
1. NEVER smoke near the meter, or use the meter near open flames when metering a
flammable liquid! Fire can result!
2. A “Fill-Rite” Filter should be used on the meter outlet to insure no foreign material is
transferred to the fuel tank.
3. Threaded pipe joints and connections should be sealed with the appropriate sealant or
sealant tape to minimize the possibility of leaks.
4. Storage tanks should be securely anchored to prevent shifting or tipping when full or
empty.
5. To minimize static electricity build up, use only static wire conductive hose when mete-
ring flammable fluids, and keep the fill nozzle in contact with the container being filled
during the filling process.
6. DO NOT exceed 50 psi/ 3.5 BARS line pressure.
7. DO NOT install additional foot valve or check valve without a pressure relief valve;
cracking may result.
WARNING
Installation
Meters are furnished for horizontal piping; left to right flow.
Flow ports can be changed to any of four positions for horizontal or vertical
piping and for either direction of flow.
1. Determine direction for fluid to flow.
2. Install meter observing directional arrow on casting on back of
meter (circled). Liquid MUST flow in the direction of the arrow for
proper operation.
3. Remove four screws on corners of meter face (Torx T25 bit required).
4. Rotate meter face assembly to desired orientation.
5. Replace four screws.
6. Complete installation by making sure the joints are properly sealed
and meter is positioned for easy viewing and use.
Threaded pipe joints and connections should be sealed with the appropriate sealant or
sealant tape to minimize the possibility of leaks.
CAUTION
If you have purchased this meter as part of a “Kit”, the meter flange base is drilled
with 4 holes. This allows the meter to be used with 300 and 700 series pumps. Line the
meter bracket up for installation and insert the bolts in the two holes that align with
the corresponding holes on the pump outlet. Once the meter bracket is bolted securely
in place install the two plugs in the holes that were not used to prevent moisture from
entering them.

INSTALLATION AND OPERATION MANUAL
| 900CD DIGITAL METER
Meter Calibration
Meter calibration is required upon installation, after disassembly, after significant wear, or when dispensing a different
viscosity fluid. Calibration must be done between 6 and 40 GPM (23 and 151 LPM). Meter calibration can be easily
changed by following the calibration procedure. A container of KNOWN volume will be needed for the calibration procedure.
For the 900 Series Digital Meter, a five gallon container or larger, or a 20 liter container or larger should be used.
Procedure for Calibration
Unit of measure and calibration is configured using a 3-step process:
1. Select the desired unit of measure.
2. Fill a container with a known volume using the desired fluid.
3. Enter the amount of fluid dispensed.
Prior to calibration, the unit must be placed in calibration mode. Simultaneously press and hold the CAL and TOTAL
buttons for 5 seconds to enter Calibration Mode.
When calibrating, the totalizers will not increase in value.
NOTICE
4. The unit will default to the last unit of measure used.
5. Press and release the TOTAL button to toggle through
the available units of measure.
6. Press and hold the CAL button for 2 seconds to move
to the next step.
7. If the meter is left untouched for 2 minutes or the
RESET button is pressed, the unit will automatically exit
Calibration Mode and ignore any changes in volume.
8. CAL 2 will be displayed.
9. Begin dispensing fluid into the container.
10. FILL will begin to blink after fluid flow is detected.
11. Dispense the desired amount fluid; stop flow as soon
as desired level is reached.
12. Press and hold the CAL button for 2 seconds to move
to the next step.
Dispensing into a container with a known volume allows the unit to automatically calculate
the internal scaling value to compensate for fluid viscosities and the system flow rate.
NOTICE
If left untouched for 2 minutes, or the RESET button is pressed, the meter will exit
Calibration Mode and any dispensed fluid will be ignored.

14. The left-most digit will begin blinking.
15. Use the TOTAL button to scroll from 0 to 9 until
the desired number has been selected.
16. Press and release the CAL button to move to the
next digit.
17. Repeat Steps 3 - 4 until the amount of dispensed
uid has been entered.
18. If you make a mistake entering a digit, press and
release the CAL button repeatedly until the digit is
active again.
19. Press and hold the CAL button for 2 seconds to complete the calibration process regardless of the current
digit selected.
20. If at the last digit and the CAL button is pressed for less than 2 seconds, the process should roll back to the
left-most digit, but retain the current value. This allows the user to edit an incorrect value.
21. An error check for gross calibration errors (+/- 15%) will be performed unless USER units are selected. If an
error is detected, the meter will display Err0 until a button is pressed and the calibration process is aborted.
22. If the meter is left untouched for 2 minutes or the RESET button is pressed, the unit will automatically exit
Calibration Mode and ignore any changes.
Operation Instructions
For accurate measurement and to prevent meter damage, dispenser and piping must always be filled with liquid and be
free of air. The meter portion of your dispenser should be calibrated per instructions in this manual prior to its use.
The Fill-Rite 900 Series Digital Meter face incorporates three buttons that control all the operation and calibration functions.
To turn the display on, or wake the meter from “Sleep” mode, simply press any button on the face. The display will turn on
and you can proceed with the function you desire. Dispensing fluid will also turn the meter display on.
13. Pressing and holding the CAL button for 2 seconds before dispensing into a container will cause the meter to
skip a fill operation and only change the unit of measure.
For maximum accuracy, try to get as close as possible to the dispensed volume without
changing flow rate.
NOTICE
• The last count and selected totalizer is retained and displayed when the meter is turned on.
• Pressing and releasing the TOTAL button will switch between the resettable and non-resettable totalizers.
(The R icon will be displayed when the resettable total is displayed).
• Pressing and holding the RESET button for 2 seconds
will reset the counter.
• Pressing and holding the RESET button and TOTAL
buttons for 2 seconds will reset the totalizer. The
resettable totalizer must be active in order to reset it.
• Pressing and holding the RESET button and CAL
buttons for 2 seconds will display the software version
for 2 seconds and then perform a segment check for 3
seconds, and then restore the display.
• Pressing and holding the CAL button for 5 seconds will
place the meter into a Deep Sleep mode. Pressing any
button twice will bring the meter out of deep sleep mode.
When the meter is in the “Deep Sleep” mode, dispensing fluid will NOT turn the meter on.
The meter will not display or accumulate any fluid that is dispensed while in
“Deep Sleep” mode.

INSTALLATION AND OPERATION MANUAL
| 900CD DIGITAL METER
• After 30 seconds of inactivity, the display will blank to conserve battery power.
• If the meter is connected to the external power source, the display will not blank unless forced into deep sleep mode.
• If external power is removed, the meter will revert to battery only operating characteristics and vice-versa.
• The counter and totalizer 2 can be reset even if fluid flow is detected. The meter will continue counting
during the 2 second RESET button press, then reset to 0, then resume counting.
“Deep Sleep” mode is designed to maintain a status of operational readiness while offering
battery conservation. The meter should be placed in this mode when:
• Flushing the unit so the dispensed volume is not counted.
• Traveling over rough surfaces (off-road) where fluid is being jostled and you
don’t want volume from the motion to be counted.
• Extending battery life; there is no penalty for repeatedly placing it in deep sleep.
NOTICE
Low Battery Warning
