OPERATING MODE
TRIP FUNCTION
The meter is fitted with a "Trip" meter which shows the
accumulated fluid volume released since the last "reset".
This function enables recording the register of the fluid
volume released from a barrel or tank. Set the "Trip" meter
to zero when starting a new barrel or tank and then
perform the individual transactions with the partial meter.
The partial meter can be reset since this will not affect the
"Trip" meter. Thus in the "Trip" meter the volume released
will be kept for all transactions since the last reset and the
remaining volume in the barrel or tank can be ascertained.
When the meter is in normal status (partial meter) (fig. 7),
the "Trip" meter can be shown by pressing the SELECT
button (fig. 8).

The "Trip" meter (fig. 9) can be set to zero. To do so, keep
the ON/RESET button for a while when in "Trip" mode.
The units shown in the "Trip" meter will be the same as for
those selected for the partial meter.
CALIBRATION
The meter is calibrated in the factory and does not
normally require calibration for the oils generally used in
workshops. Nevertheless, if using fluids with high or low
viscosity, as well as if working with high flows or very low
flows, calibration may be required.
Calibration may be required after having used the meter
for a long time, especially if working with fluids with dirty
residues.
Verify the precision of the meter prior to use and proceed
with calibration if required.
In order to perform the calibration process correctly the
following rules must be adhered to:
1. The calibration can be performed for any volume,
however it is recommended for a minimum of 1 litre. As
a maximum 25 litres can be used.

To return to normal mode (partial meter), press the
SELECT button twice in a row.
Total meter
• The meter is fitted with a Total meter which shows the
accumulated the fluid volume released since the meter
was put into operation for the first time. The Total
meter cannot be reset.
• When the meter is in normal status (partial meter) (fig.
10), the Total meter (fig. 13) can be shown by pressing
the SELECT button (fig. 11) twice in a row.
• It is enough to press the SELECT button again (fig. 12) to
return to the partial meter mode (fig. 10).
• The total meter does not take into account the
quantities released during the calibration process.
• The changes in the calibration factor do not affect the
value stored in the total meter.
Automatic meter reset
Both the partial meter and the total meter are reset to zero
when reaching the value 99999.

2. The container used must be calibrated and be
completely empty (prior use of the container can easily
leave behind 0,1 l even if it seems empty). Put the
container upside down for a while, or clean it before
starting the calibration process.
If you would like a truly accurate calibration, you must use
precision scales and know the density of the fluid. With the
density data the volume to be released is converted
(ahem.: 1, 2, 3 ... litres) to mass units.
3. When the fluid is being released you must wait until all
the air contained in it is eliminated. This can take some
time. If precision scales are used the accumulation of air
has no effect.
