ELECTRONIC LUBE METER
MODEL 905
Series "C"
GENERAL
The Electronic Preset Meter (EPM) is designed specifically to
meter and dispense bulk fluids for servicing automobiles, trucks,
buses, construction equipment, and similar applications. The
meter is lightweight, rugged and has a comfortable grip. The
meter is designed specifically to dispense motor oils (S.A.E.
5-50), gear oils (S.A.E. 80-240), automatic transmission fluid,
and hydraulic fluid. The 905SF is designed specifically to
dispense anti-freeze (Ethylene Glycol), windshield wiper
fluid solution, and brake fluid.
A superior rugged, shock-resistant design for demanding
environments.
METER IS NOT FOR RESALE MEASUREMENT OF FLUID.
OPERATION
This unit can be programmed to dispense in quarts, liters, pints,
and gallons. You can program any batch size in a matter of
seconds. A 5-digit liquid crystal display, accurate to the second
decimal point, shows the exact amount of fluid dispensed.
The EPM meter uses 4 replaceable AA batteries and is
calibrated at the factory. The meter can also be recalibrated
easily in the field.
Electronic accuracy will help you save time and money. The
preset feature will allow users to perform other service tasks
while fluid is dispensed.

Explosion and Fire
Movement of fluids through the dispensing
system creates static electricity. Static electricity
can cause volatile fumes resulting in an
explosion and fire. The dispensing system must
be grounded.
Pressurized Equipment
This equipment stays pressurized until the
pressure is manually relieved. To reduce the risk
of injury from fluid spray from the meter, follow
the Pressure Relief Procedures when you:
•Are instructed to relieve pressure
•Stop dispensing
•Check, clean, or service any system
equipment
•
Clean or install nozzles
METER INSTALLATION
Relieve System Pressure
1. Turn off the power supply to the pump or
close the shutoff valve.
2. Dispense any fluid in the system into a waste
container by opening the meter(s).
3. Open all bleed-type master air valves and
fluid meter(s) in the system.
4. Leave the meter(s) open until ready to
pressurize the system.
Grounding
1. Grounding reduces the risk of static sparking.
Ground all system components according to
local, state, and federal codes. Consult the
pump user's manual and other system
components to ground the following:
2. Pump: follow manufacturer's
recommendations.
3. Air and Fluid Hoses: use only grounded
hoses.
4. Air Compressor: follow manufacturers
recommendations.
5. Fluid Supply Container: follow the local code.
Flushing Procedure
NOTE: If the system has multiple dispense
positions, begin at the position farthest from
the pump and move toward the pump.
1. Close fluid dispense valves at every position.
2. Once the main fluid outlet valve at the pump is closed, the air pressure to the pump motor is
properly adjusted and the air valve is opened.
3. Slowly open the main fluid valve.
4. Place the hose end in a waste container. Make sure hose is secure so no fluid leaks during
flushing.
5. Slowly open the dispense valve and allow enough oil to pass through it to ensure that the
system is clean.
6. Close the valve and repeat for all dispense positions.
If this installation is new or if the fluid in the
lines is contaminated, flush the system
before installing the meter(s).

NOTE: The threaded end of the meter always has female threads.
The metal end of the hose must have male threads.
Apply thread sealant, Loctite® 243 or equivalent, to the male end.
The inlet and outlet swivel connections are either 1/2" NPT or 1/2"
BSPP, depending on meter model.
Apply Nozzle to Meter
1. On the opposite end, apply sealant to the end of the
nozzle. Recommended sealant is Loctite® 243.
2. Thread the nozzle onto the meter. Screw it in tightly with
an open ended, adjustable, wrench.
3. Open all dispense position shut-off valves. Start the
pump to pressurize the system.
4. Before use, to ensure accuracy, purge all air from the
fluid lines and dispense valve(s).

CALCULATE SCALE FACTOR
A Scale Factor is a number used to adjust meter accuracy. The Scale Factor is set at the factory
using motor oil with a viscosity of 10W.
The primary use for Scale Factor recalibration is to batch fluids with different viscosities. If the fluid
has a lower viscosity, more fluid can slip past the meter gears without being detected. Changing
the Scale Factor adjusts the meter to compensate for the loss.
The meter multiplies each pulse by the Scale Factor number to correct the accuracy when it
converts to the specified units. The reading is then always correct.
For an approximate Scale Factor for fluids of different viscosities, consult the scale factor chart.
NOTE: The meter’s original Scale Factor was written on the trigger when it was calibrated at the factory. It
may have been revised after field installation. Use the Scale Factor showing on the display, not on
the trigger.
To view the current Scale Factor:
1. Press and hold the button and the button at the same time.
Absolute Scale Factor
For absolute Scale Factor, perform this test:
1. Run a measured amount of fluid through the meter.
2. If the meter delivers 4.20 quarts and the display shows only 4.00 quarts, then the Scale Factor
needs to be adjusted.
3. Divide what the meter delivered (4.20) by what the display shows (4.00). You get an error
factor of (1.05).
4. The existing Scale Factor is 1.0123, as shown in steps 1 and 2 in “To view the current Scale
Factor”, above.
5. To calculate a new factor: 1.0123 (existing Scale Factor) x 1.05 (error factor) = 1.0629 (new
Scale Factor).
6. Enter that number as described in Change Scale Factor.
NOTE: Use the Scale Factor showing on the display, not on the trigger.
Changing the Scale Factor will change the accuracy of the meter, potentially causing it to overfill or
under fill. This has the potential to cause a mechanical breakdown.
