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 sacricing the ability to meter at
low ows.
The meter can store and display the current metered
amount (batch total), or cumulative metered amount
(totalizer) in any of ve user selectable units (ounces,
pints, quarts, liters, and gallons).
The meter may be easily adjusted for different uids by
selecting a calibration factor from one of 20 settings.
Power is supplied by two replaceable AA alkaline batteries.
Fluid / Viscosity Compatibility
The TT10P Series meters will handle most chemicals with
viscosities in the range of 0.4 cSt to 79 cSt.
You may meter uids that exceed a viscosity of 79 cSt, but
accuracy will be limited to the calibration ow rate. Set the
meter for CAL 19 and follow the calibration described in
this manual.
If in doubt about compatibility of a specic uid, contact
the supplier of the uid to check for any adverse reactions
to the listed materials in the Technical Information section
of this manual.
Approved Fluids:
• DEF (AUS32) • Herbicides*
• Non-potable water • Pesticides*
• Mineral Spirits
* Contact the chemical supplier for wetted materials and
viscosity compatibility.
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 uid ow and point the
arrow on the underside of the meter body in that
direction. Installing the meter in the wrong direction
ofowwillsignicantlyimpacttheperformanceof
the meter.

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 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 uid types/viscosities.
Use of calibration factors is intended to provide the most
accurate metering solution for a specic uid. A CAL factor
of 0 is for use with the thinnest uids and increases for
higher viscosity 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.
