General Description
The TT10 Series Meters are electronic turbine meters
suitable for use in Hazardous Locations and extreme
temperatures.
The TT10 Meters feature advanced electronics that
eliminate false counts in high vibration and mobile
applications without sacrifi cing the ability to meter at
low fl ows.
The meter can store and display the current metered
amount (batch total), or cumulative metered amount
(totalizer) in any of fi ve user selectable units (ounces,
pints, quarts, liters, and gallons).
The meter may be easily adjusted for different fl uids by
selecting a calibration factor from one of 20 settings.
Power is supplied by two replaceable AA alkaline batteries.
Fluid / Viscosity Compatibility
The TT10A Series meters will handle most fuels with
viscosities in the range of 0.4 cSt to 79 cSt.
You may meter fl uids that exceed a viscosity of 79 cSt, but
accuracy will be limited to the calibration fl ow rate. Set the
meter for CAL 19 and follow the calibration described in
this manual.
If in doubt about compatibility of a specifi c fl uid, contact
the supplier of the fl uid to check for any adverse reactions
to the listed materials in the Technical Information section
of this manual.
Approved Fluids:
• Gasoline • Heptane
• Diesel • Mineral Spirits
• Kerosene • Non-potable
• Hexane fresh water
Installation
Installation Hints
Excess sealant tape or thread compound upstream
of the meter can break free and jam or impair the
rotor and cause meter failure. Use of an appropriate
amount of thread compound is the preferred
method of installation.
Use a compatible sealant tape or thread compound on all
threaded joints.
1. Determine correct direction for fl uid fl ow and point the
arrow on the underside of the meter body in that
direction. Installing the meter in the wrong direction
of fl ow will signifi cantly impact the performance of
the meter.
2
2. Thread the hose or pipe into ports until snug.
Be careful not to cross thread when starting
threads or over-tighten the meter.
Electronic Module Orientation
The Display can be oriented for right-to-left or
left-to-right fl ow.
1. Peel off the protective rubber boot and set aside.
2. Remove the 4 screws holding on the electronic
module using a T-20 Torx driver.
3. Remove the module and rotate 180°. Ensure that the
foam pad under the batteries is reinstalled correctly if
it falls out. This is critical to ensure the batteries are not
dislodged if the meter is exposed to rough handling.
4. Reinstall the 4 screws. They should be tight enough to
fully seat the module. The recommended installation
torque is 5-10 in-lb (0.6-1.1 Nm). Over-tightening may
crack the module.
5. Reinstall the protective rubber boot.
CAUTION!
When reinstalling the screws for the electronic
module, ensure the grounding tabs are captured
under the heads of the screws. This ensures proper
ground and protection against static discharge
when handling the meter.

The TT10 Series Meters provide 20 preset factors for
different fl uid types/viscosities.
Use of calibration factors is intended to provide the most
accurate metering solution for a specifi c fl uid. A CAL factor
of 0 is for use with the thinnest fl uids and increases for
higher viscosity fl uids.
1. Press and hold button 3 for 3 seconds. The current
dispensed count value will disappear and only the CAL
icon and the current value will be displayed.
2. Repeatedly pushing button 3 will increment the
number up to 19 and then back to zero.

to the previous settings. See Troubleshooting Guide
for more information.
TIP
If you are metering in ounces, pints, or quarts, it
may be easier to switch the meter to a larger unit of
measure such as gallons or liters for the calibration
process and then change back to the desired unit of
measure.
Flush Mode (FLSH)
Use of Flush mode allows you to fl ush the meter without
adding volume to the meter totals. This is useful when
fl ushing the meter for storage or switching between
different liquids and you want to maintain accurate totals.
