IMPORTANT NOTICE
The 01A Series meter is for use with diesel fuel (up to20% biodiesel blends such as B20) and
biodiesel (B100). Donotuseto meter gasoline, water, kerosene orchemicals. Do not use for
measuring fuel or other liquids into aircraft.
The 01A Series meter isvery sensitive to electrical “noise” andmay not operate correctly if located
near some electrical equipment.

CALIBRATION
This meter has a permanent factory calibration for measuring water. If installed and used correctly,
inaccuracies of no greater than ±5% will be obtained.
INSTALLATION
This meter may be installed in-line either horizontally or vertically or at the end of the hose adjacent to
the nozzle, if present. Installation to metal connections is not recommended. Install as follows:
1. If necessary, remove nozzle from hose.
2. Apply pipe sealant to all threaded connections.
3. Attach meter to hose with arrow on outlet port pointed in the direction of flow.
4. If necessary, attach nozzle to meter.
5. Hand tighten the meter at the housing ends. Do not use a wrench or similar tools to tighten
the meter housing. The plastic housing could be damaged.
NOTE: If the meter is located in a rigid piping system wherethe fluid is trapped (by gravity,
valves, nozzles), thermal expansion of the fluid can create
pressure spikes that can
damage a
meter. Install a thermal relief valve or otherwise allow for thermal expansion of the
fluid.
OPERATION
Batch and Cumulative Totals
The01ASeries metermaintainstwo totals. PresstheDISPLAYbuttonbrieflytoswitch between them.
The batch total may be reset to measure flow during a single use.
The cumulative total provides
continuous measurement and may not be manually
reset. When the cumulative total reaches a
maximum reading of 9999, it will automatically reset to zero.
The batch total will display as TTL1 and the cumulative total as TTL2.
ActivatetheMeter
Turn the 01A Series meter ON by starting fuel flow or briefly pressing the DISPLAY
button. The
meter will display the batch or cumulative total from last use.
The meter is programmed to conserve powerby automatically turning OFF if not used for about
one minute.
MAINTENANCE
Proper handling and care will extend the life and service of the meter.
Turbine Rotor
The meter is virtually maintenance-free. However, it is important the rotor moves freely. Keep the meter
clean and free of contaminants.
If the rotor does not turn freely, apply a penetrating lubricant on the rotor, shaft, and bearings. Remove
any debris or deposits from the rotor using a soft brush or small probe. Be careful not to damage the
turbine rotor or supports.
CAUTION: Blowingcompressed airthroughthe turbine assembly could damage the rotor.
Battery Replacement
The meter is powered by two AAA alkaline batteries which may be replaced while the meter is installed.
When batteries are removed, or lose power, the batch and cumulative totals reset to zero but the
factory calibration is retained.
If the meter display becomes dim or blank, replace the batteries as follows:
1. Remove the four Phillips-head screws from the face of the meter and lift the faceplate from

5/17 920900-01
the turbine.
2. Remove the old batteries and clean any corrosion from the terminals.
3. Install new batteries. Make sure the positive post is in the correct position.
4. When the batteries are replaced, the face plate will power ON. Check the display to ensure
normal functions have resumed before assembling again.
5. Reseat batteries, if necessary, and position the faceplate on the turbine housing. To avoid
moisture damage, make sure the O-ring is fully seated. Tighten the four screws on the
faceplate.
