5. Assembly
5.1 General
Before assembly all parts have to be checked for particles of packing material.
TheowmeterTR3possessesG1externalthreadsonbothsideswhichallowittobeinstalledinany
pipe. When doing so, please ensure that the meter is not under mechanical stress due to tension/
pressure or bending. To avoid this, an elastic equalizing element is to be used, and the lines are to be
supported in a suitable manner. In order to prevent damage, the tightening torque at the G1 external
threads are not to exceed 30 Nm.
Theowdirectioncanbechosenfreely.
Werecommendtheuseoffront-sideatsealsorO-ringsattheendsofthescrewthreadsforsealing
purposes.
After being screwed into the pipe, the electronic housing can be rotated freely around the measuring
chamber. This allows the display to be brought into a position that is comfortable for the user.
The pressure surges that occur in the pipe are not to exceed the nominal pressure.

inordertoallowthemetertobereado
comfortably (→Fig. 5).
To turn the display, the four screws (2) on the
top side are loosened and the display is pulled
upwards. The display can now be replaced in any
desired orientation.
The rubber shock protector (3) is not to be rotated
along with the display.
The battery housing (4) may need to be placed on
the other side (5) of the meter housing to prevent
the battery housing and battery connector (6)
from colliding.
The battery cable needs to be laid such that it
is not pinched between the reed switch and the
housing.

6.2.1 Dispensation active
During a dispensation, both the partial volume display as well as
the selected totalizer will be continually updated. The total volume
totalizer will always be updated in the background even if it is not
shown on the display.
The following key combinations are possible during dispensation:
"Light" key: The display illumination is turned on for 15 seconds.
"Mode"key: Thecurrentowrateisshowninthepartialvolume
display for as long as the "Mode" key is held down.

6.2.2 No active dispensation
The partial volume for the last dispensation as well as the current value for the selected totalizer are
shown on the display. The following key combinations are possible:
"Light" key: The display illumination is turned on for 15 seconds.
"Reset" key: Pressing this key for a short time resets the partial
volume display.
Holding it down for a longer time resets the active partial volume
totalizer. The total volume totalizer cannot be reset.
"Mode" key: Pressing this key for a short time toggles between
partial volume totalizers (TOTAL 1 – TOTAL 8) and
the total volume totalizer (TOTAL) shown.
Holding down the "Mode" key for a longer time until the program version is shown (e.g. "P1.33")
switches the device to programming mode (→chapter7).

7. Programming the meter
The device allows the unit of measurement (liters, US gallons, US quarts, US pints, imperial gallons,
imperial quarts, imperial pints) to be selected, the basic selection of the medium characteristic curve
(watery media, thin mineral oils) to be performed, as well as a calibration to be performed to optimize
measurement accuracy.
7.1 Change over into programming mode
Hold down the "Mode" key until the program version is shown (e.g.
"P1.33") to switch to programming mode.
Once the key is released, a display test is carried out. Subsequently, multiple settings can be
conguredinsuccession,beginningwiththeselection of the unit of measurement for volume. In
programming mode, the display will blink. If no key is pressed for more than 60 seconds, the device will
cancel programming mode and return to dispensation mode.
7.2 Setting the unit of measurement
Theconguredunitofmeasurementisshownandcanbechanged
if necessary. If the unit is changed, the partial volume shown as well
as all totalizers will automatically be converted.
"Reset" key: Toggles between the units liters (L), US gallons
