Installation
☛The TeeJet 814-FM monitor is powered by +12VDC. The fused power lead (brown wire) should
go to the positive terminal of the battery. The blue or white wire to the negative or ground
terminal of the battery.
☛The flow meter should be plumbed so that all liquid passing through it is intended to be
measured.
☛The flow meter cable lead should be extended and connected to the the flow meter.
☛The pressure sensor (if used) can be installed at any point in the plumbing system. It should be
mounted in a verticle position on a short stand pipe to help prevent damage from freezing
temperatures.
☛The pressure sensor lead should be extended and connected to the pressure transducer, if
used. If no pressure transducer is used, this cable lead can be tied back for possible future use.
☛The valve lead should be extended and connected to the optional auto fill valve. If an auto fill
valve is not used, this cable can be tied back for possible future use.
☛The auto fill valve used with this system must be a negatively switched valve. This system can
also be used to disengage a pump if desired. Refer to the Pump Cut-off instructions in the
following section.
☛If an optional printer will be used with the system, it requires a separate cable connection to the
console. The printer has two connections, one is the data connection and the other is power for
the printer.
MI814-FM Programming and Operating Manual, 03/2000 3 of 17

PUMP CUT-OFF INSTRUCTIONS
While the 814-FM is capable of switching an auto fill valve, it can also switch an electric transfer
pump. The 814-FM is limited to switching 1.8 amps directly. If the pump requires a higher current to
activate, a relay must be used to isolate/protect the 814-FM. When using a relay for switching higher
currents, it is important that the power supply for the relay and load come through a correctly sized
fuse and directly from the pump power source, not the 814-FM. Keep in mind that the 814-FM is
negatively switched and the relay will need to be wired accordingly.

•The fill valve is always switched ON when the switch is in the ON position.
•The fill valve will be automatically controlled when the switch is in the AUTO position.
•The Job selection switch is used to scroll through the possible job settings. You can only change
jobs when the job number is visible.
•The print button is used to print the volume of the selected job or to print the list of all non zero
jobs and the total value.
•GAL (L) or GPM (LPM) is flashing on the screen when automatic filling is busy. Automatic filling
can be stopped by pressing shortly on the CLR key.
Very Important: Whenever you are working around a sprayer or chemicals, be sure to wear
protective clothing and eyewear.

AUTOMATIC FILLING
Automatic filling is used to deliver a predefined volume of liquid by opening a filling valve (switching
on a pump) until the desired volume has been measured. The electric fill valve is driven by the
console.
To use the automatic filling feature the console must first be programmed for this function. Refer to
the “Fill Valve” step in the programming section of this manual. This step should be set to “YES”.
To begin auto filling, first select the job
number you would like to use with the
Job Selection switch. Next press the P
RO
key once to access the amount to be
filled. Use the and/or keys to
adjust the volume to be filled. After the
volume has been set, press the P
RO again.
This will advance back to the job
selection display. The GAL (L) or GPM
(LPM) text will be flashing to indicate that
the console is waiting for further action.
Next move the master switch to the
AUTO position. This will activate the fill
valve (transfer pump) to begin the filling
process.

During the filling process you can temporarily close the filling valve by turning the master switch back
to the OFF position. The filling is continued after switching back to the AUTO position. When the
desired volume is reached the console will automatically close the filling valve (disengage the pump).
If you want to stop the automatic filling you can press the CLR key and the GAL (L) or GPM (LPM) text
will stop flashing and the fill valve will be closed.
The filling valve can be driven manually by switching the master switch to the ON or OFF positions.

Programming Guidelines
Make sure that all hardware components are properly installed and tested. Before you start the
programming process you should first be sure that the console and all sensors are working properly.
IMPORTANT PRELIMINARY INFORMATION
Before you begin, it is recommended that you review the following Programming Guidelines that
control the programming process:
☛To enter the program mode press and hold the P
RO key for 3 seconds. The master switch must be
in the off position.
☛To exit the program mode press and hold the P
RO key for 3 seconds, your inputs will be stored and
the computer will exit the program mode. This action can be done at any time but will not be
necessary until the last programming step has been completed.
☛To increase the value of a programmable digit, press the key. To decrease the value, press the
key. These keys are located directly to the right of the display. For some programming steps,
pressing and holding the or key will change the programmable value rapidly. Pressing the
or key once will change the value by one increment.
☛Pressing the and keys simultaneously in some programming steps will will start an
automatic calibration.
☛A short press of the CLR key in program mode will reset the value to its default value.
☛Holding the CLR key for 2 seconds will clear the value to zero.
☛Pressing the P
RO key will advance you to the next programming step. After the last programming
step, the console will return to the first programming step.
☛Note: Due to differences in fonts, some letters on the displays shown in this manual are
not identical with the corresponding letters on the display of the controller. We tried to
match them as close as possible.
