2. FLOWMETERS
a. Turbinox Flowmeter
21
Flowmeter
Flowmeter with display
The Turbinox is a single-channel impulse transmitter. The reed ampoule translates the magnetic-
field variations generated by the rotation of the turbine-impeller into electrical impulses which are
sent to the display unit.
The pulser does not need an independent electrical power supply because is powered directly from
the display. The type of impulse emitted is represented by a square wave generated by the voltage
variation.
The calibration of the instrument is made by means of the external impulse receiver.
The impulse from the flowmeter is received by the TMS control panel or a display (picture above).
The latter option is used in the SlimLine tank range with a non-calibratable distributor. The display
shows the current and the total quantity of the delivered liquid as well as the flow rate. It has a button
to reset the current value and to calibrate. It is powered by a 2x1,5V battery or by a 4-12V external
source. Optionally, the display might be fitted with an open-collector pulse output (1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 50,
100 impulses per liter) to other receivers.

23
AdBlue® needs to be stored at a temperature between -11 ˚C and +35 ˚C. To meet this requirement
the BlueMaster® and SlimLine machines are equipped with heating and cooling systems. The TMS
control unit monitors the temperature according to settings, thus controlling the operation of the
systems.
The BlueTruckMaster and BlueMaster® light machines (in the standard version) are not equipped
with these systems and require additional protection from the adverse effects of ambient
temperature.
The BlueMaster® light machines may be optionally equipped with cooling-heating systems, the
control is carried out directly by thermocouples in the power supply circuit of each element.
a. Tank heating
In the space between the inner and outer tank a 250W heating element is installed. Tanks with a
capacity of 3,500 litres and above are equipped with an additional 950W heating element in the
distributor housing.
The heater consists of a heating element with an integrated fan. The complete unit is assembled in a
metal framework. The temperature of the heating element is
approximately 55°C. The heater will not work if the fan is broken.

b. Cooling equipment
Fans are installed in the wall of the outer tank or container. The fans start to work if the bund
temperature goes above +30°C.
25
The fan discharges warm air outside and brings cooler air inside. The air flow prevents formation of
spots of elevated temperature and thus prevents the liquid from overheating. Housing material
resistant to shock exhibits high resistance to weathering and UV radiation.

4. INNER TANK VENTILATION
The BlueStore® tanks are pressureless. Installed ventilation equalizes the air pressure inside and
outside the inner tank.
Venting element with a diameter of 1 1/4" is equipped with a basket against the intrusion of major
pollutants.
Tank with volumes 3,500, 5,000 and 9,000 litres are equipped with a 16" revision hatch. The lid has
a ventilation unit. To keep the inside of the tank free from dust and insects the opening is protected
with a mesh. The lid provides access to the inside of the inner tank if necessary. Before using the lid
the top of the bund tank must be removed.
27
5. CONTROL UNIT (TANK MANAGEMENT SYSTEM)
The BlueMaster® and SlimLine machines are equipped with a specialised TMS control unit. The
Tank Management System is a bespoke design to control, monitor and manage efficient storage and
dispensing of AdBlue®.
OPTIONAL FEATURES

and integration of level / status information to SAP, Sage etc,
− RFID: Dispensing Measurement Solution.
B) PHYSICAL FEATURES
− Fire Resistant Cabling,
− Safety Cut Off Emergency Stop Button,
− Fuses for each current output,
− Fire Retardant Box,
− Tested for Humidity.
28
C) FILLING TANK
Do not exceed a maximum fill rate of 350 litres per minute.
Note: If the pistol is not replaced correctly in the pistol holder the pump will run for 5 minutes before
automatically switching off.
E) TANK LEVEL
When the control panel is switched on, the LCD ‘Main Screen’ will appear. The numeric indicator
shows the volume of liquid remaining in the tank. The bar chart below the number is a visual
indication of the tank volume, each bar representing 1/10th of the volume.
29
When the dispensing operation is complete and the dispensing nozzle is returned to its holder, the
‘Pistol Screen’ will revert back to the ‘Main Screen’ in approximately one minute.
There is still the ability to move between the two screens, by using the reset button. During filling do
not press the RESET because actual value will be lost.
If the unit is equipped with MC BOX system – the flow mode is not active. Flow is shown on MC
display.
G) ALARMS
This symbol will appear in the top left corner of display to indicate that there is at least 1
alarm mode present.
This indicates the level in the tank is low, and therefore it is not possible to dispense any Adblue.
The pump is switched off automatically, and cannot be switched on until the volume in the tank
exceeds the low level setting. The unit has to be refilled to enable the pump to operate.
Note: The first section of the bar chart will be flashing. No buzzer will sound and no Alarm LED will
light.
Level Alarm:
This indicates that a fault has occurred with the tank’s level detection device and that it cannot
measure the volume of Adblue remaining in the tank. The volume displayed is the last reliable level
received and will remain shown until a new level measurement is received. An Alarm LED will light
and a buzzer will also sound. It will not be possible to dispense AdBlue® while in this alarm mode, as
the pump will be automatically switched off.
30
Overfill Alarm:
Activation of this alarm indicates the BlueMaster® has reached full capacity and filling must be
stopped immediately. An Alarm LED will light and a buzzer will also sound.
Note: The tank volume will flash for five minutes. After five minutes the word ‘Stop’ will be replaced
with a bar graph, as per the normal screen.
Leak Alarm:
a leak from the tank has been detected the buzzer will sound and Alarm LED will light. The buzzer
will stop after 5 minutes, but the LED will remain lit. Check to see if bund cavity contains AdBlue®.
Once bund cavity is emptied, the LED will turn off and the LCD will revert back to the main screen.
A fault has been detected with the leak detector, the buzzer will sound and the alarm LED will light.
31
H) MANAGEMENT MODE – PUMP ACCESS
The management mode must be activated in the TMS Tank Calibrator software. Refer to the “TMS
Tank Calibrator Manual” for more details. When management mode is ON the padlock symbol
appears on the top right of the screen. This mode works with the EXT IN input. The close circuit
between the EXT IN pins allows the pump for working. Management mode can be with dispensing
screen enabled or disabled.
That padlock informs about the access to the pump.
Padlock close – pump disable.

7. NOZZLE
a) The BlueStore ® tanks are equipped with automatic OPW nozzles (blue cover). Maximum flow
40 l/min, maximum pressure of 3.4 bar. Below you will find the manufacturer's instructions.
AUTOMATIC NOZZLES
These instructions define the proper installation, operation, and
maintenance for OPW 7H, 7HB, 11A & 11B nozzles.
WARNINGS:
• High flow rates in excess of the regulatory allowable rates may result in splash
back or spillage. Damage or injury may result.
• Ensure nozzle is properly engaged in fill pipe prior to fuelling. (Figure 1) Some
fill pipe designs prohibit proper retention of the nozzle. In such case, nozzle
must be hand held to prevent it from falling out of the fill pipe. Failure may result
in a hazardous spill.
• For converting an OPW nozzle from full-serve to self-serve see back page,
otherwise do not alter the trigger or rack mechanisms. The nozzle shut off
mechanism could be impaired and result in property damage and/or personal
injury.
• Do not remove spout without OPW replacement kits and/or instructions.
Improper parts or assembly may result in leakage or a hazardous condition.
• If the spout is removed or replaced for any reason, the nozzle must be retested
in accordance with "Preparation and Test" section of these instructions.
• Never smoke, allow open flame, or sparking devices near the product
dispensers.
• Keep gasoline away from eyes and skin.
• Keep gasoline out of reach of children.
• Test can must be grounded at all times during tests.
• Nozzles are limited to applications consistent with NFPA Code 30A, OSHA
CFR1940.106, state and local fire codes or other local regulations. This nozzle
is designed for use with fuels normally dispensed at commercial service
stations.
• OPW products should be used in compliance with applicable Federal, State,
and Local laws and regulations. Product selection should be based on physical
specifications, limitations and compatibility with the materials to be handled.
OPW makes no warranty of fitness for a particular use.
41
INSTALLATION
• Apply suitable thread sealant on male threads of hose , or swivel. (OPW recommends Loctite
567).
• Do not use teflon tape. (Figure 3)
• Insert hose into inlet of nozzle. (Figure 4)
• Engage male thread Into nozzle body and tighten the hose nut. (Figure 5)
Do not over tighten.
FLOW TEST
• Equipment required: stop watch (Figure 6) 5 gallon vented test can.
• Start watch and initiate flow together.
• Test can should fill in under 60 seconds.
• If hose point does not comply, check system and repair prior to putting hose
point in service.
42
NOZZLE CARE AND MAINTENANCE
• Monthly, apply a few drops of light oil (such as 3-in-1) where the main stem extends through the
nozzle body.
• Spare part kits available from your OPW distributor include:
• 5B series spout kits
• 6B, 6H, and 6S series hand insulators
• 18K series hold open rack kits
CONVERTING AN OPW NOZZLE FROM FULL SERVE TO SELF SERVE (Figure 10)
• All OPW 11 and 7HB sees nozzles come with a hold open lever and rack.
• If local codes require that the nozzle cannot have a hold open latch, please follow these
instructions to remove it: Place the nozzle on a flat surface, hold lever in open position and slide
screw driver along side hold-open rack. Pry the rack upward and pop off the rivets. CAUTION:
Protect your face and other exposed body pans-wear safety glasses. Make sure that broken
rivets are removed from the guard. Throw old parts away.
NOTICE TO INSTALLER
• Present these instructions to the station manager or other operational personnel.
IMPORTANT
For safety, OPW 11B and 7HB are designed to be non-operational unless hose Is pressurized;
therefore, should the customer attempt to open the lever before the pump is zeroed and switch
turned on, the customer will not receive fuel. A loose nozzle lever is normal until the hose is
pressurized.
WARNING
DO NOT USE FULL SERVICE NOZZLES WITH A HOLD-OPEN DEVICE ON PRE-PAY SELF-
SERVICE INSTALLATIONS.
The danger exists of flowing gasoline on yourself or others which can result in a fire with serious
personal injury or property damage. This hazardous condition occurs if a customer replaces the
nozzle in the pedestal rack with the hold-open device engaged after the pump mechanism has shut
off flow. The nozzle is latched open and flow will begin when the next customer turns on the pump
switch.
NOTICE TO INSTALLER: This warning card should be given to the station operator or attendant.
PLEASE NOTE: The OPW 11-B and 7-HB Nozzles are specially designed for pre-pay, self-service
application. It is designed to close automatically when the pump is turned off, and cannot be re-
opened until the pump is turned on, and the hose pressurized. Contact your OPW Distributor for
ordering information.

- Measurement of the amount of fuel in the tank-fuel theft, leakage, drop, replacement detection.
- Terminal supports input of kilometer counter readout before starting to fill.
Data analysis
The terminal is part of a comprehensive vehicle and machinery
fleet management system consisting of:
- XTrack GPS vehicle and machine monitoring system.
- Logistics and dispatcher modules including wholesaler software for managing deliveries to service
stations and fuel tanks.
- OptiTrax – route planning and optimization software.
- Road card and driver settlement module.
52
Fuel management with the XTrack system
The XTrack system supports comprehensive fuel management activities in the company. By
metering intracompany fuel stations or tanks distributing fuel to eg. construction sites, the system
provides complete control over distributed fuel. The use of proprietary flow meters allows you to
install the system on any tank or station or tank used for fuel distribution.
The use of XTrack GPS monitoring system in vehicles and machinery allows to verify whether all
distributed fuel went into the tank of a vehicle or machine. XTrack GPS also allows you to detect any
drop or other fuel-related abuse. The XTrack system provides comprehensive control of fuel
management activities starting from the filling station tank up to the usage of fuel by a vehicle or
machine.
Software
Communication between the XTrack software server and recorders in vehicles, machinery and tanks
is performed using packet data transmission (GPRS). The system administrator can modify
parameters and access rights for individual employees by specifying days and times of week in
which they can collect fuel, daily refueling limits and other parameters. The system allows you to
efficiently manage multiple tanks visualizing on the map the filling level of each tank, in order to
place an order/delivery when needed. Full integration with the XTrack GPS monitoring system allows
to capture in one system all events related to the operation of both vehicles and machines, the
drivers working hours, the tasks performed and fuel management. Dispatcher modules, as well as
routes planning and optimization modules complete the XTrack offer making it the most
comprehensive solution for companies active in transportation, agriculture, construction, municipal
services or distribution of goods and services.
53
2. HEATING WIRE
If the BlueMaster® should be operated at low temperatures it is recommended to equip the inner
tank with additional heating wire and foam insulation.
The heating wire is attached to the outside of the inner tank and is covered by aluminum foil for
better heat distribution.
It is controlled by a thermocouple installed on the top part of inner tank and automatically adjusts
heat output in response to increasing or decreasing tank temperature (reduces power consumption).
The wire is protected from overheating or burnout and is approved for use in hazardous, non-
hazardous and corrosive environments
54
Low temperatures: High temperatures:
More charge carriers, more Fewer charge carriers, less
heat output. heat output.
Overall power consumption depends on the length of the wire and the ambient temperature, but
shall not exceed 31W per meter tape. Heating wire is turned on and off directly by the TMS.
Internal tanks may be covered with a layer of approximately 20mm polyurethane foam insulation,
which will reduce electricity consumption by the wire, as well as stabilize oil temperature in the
summer.
Only the manufacturer or his authorized service can install and repair the
wire.
55
3. TELEMETRY - REMOTE MEASUREMENT
The TMS control box is equipped with a signal output for the current level in the tank. This signal can
be used to connect the system to a wireless data transmission (telemetry). The system can be
installed directly in the distributor housing.
After installing and buying an annual subscription, the device every 10 minutes will transfer data via
GSM to the server.
The current level of liquid in the tank will be presented on www.connectsensor.com. Collected data
can also be presented in a graph.
The exact description of the telemetry system is presented further in this manual.
56
4. SEPARATE EQUIPMENT HOUSING
The equipment housing can be installed separately from the tank (“stand

Construction
The pneumatic tank contents gauge Unitop consists of a plastic, impact-resistant casing, inside
which there is a capsule pressure gauge with a valve to prevent excess pressure build-up, spring
bellow, pressure module with pointer and scale of measurement, adjustment screw used to set the
zero level, set screw used to set up the tank, reference pointer used to control consumption, pointer
for easy control of the storage medium, connection to the pneumatic connection with the supervised
tank.
Pressure in the pressure pipe is increased with the spring bellow until it reaches a value of
hydrostatic pressure prevailing at the end of the cable. The pneumatic tank contents gauge Unitop
measures the hydrostatic pressure at the bottom of the tank. Measurements are made with a
capsule pressure gauge with a valve to prevent excess pressure build-up. The pointer of the
pressure gauge shows the measured liquid level. The liquid level is indicated in%, regardless of the
shape of the tank. The manufacturer shall provide additional scales in litres for horizontal, cylindrical,
non-standard tanks, such as oval, cubic tanks.
UNITOP allows accurate determination of fuel consumption.
Additionally, the indications of Unitop can be used for the tank vehicle to control filling accuracy of
the tank.
Principle of operation
UNITOP is a versatile, pneumatic device used to measure the filling level in the tank. It has a
measuring mechanism with a spring bellow. In order to control the level of liquid in the tank you
should pump air with bellow through a pneumatic hose at the bottom of the tank. This pressure in the
pressure pipe pushes away the liquid present in the pipe. You should pump air in the pipe and
increase its pressure until all the liquid is removed and the air comes out of the pipe. The pointer of
the device stops moving despite the continuous pumping of air.
The pressure in the pipe will then be equal to the pressure at the bottom of the tank. The indication
of the device depends on the hydrostatic pressure at the bottom of the tank. Pressure in the
pressure pipe is measured with a capsule pressure gauge and is indicated as a percentage of the
tank height with a black pointer on the 270 ° scale. Due to additional scales for cylindrical, cubic and
spherical tanks UNITOP is suitable for all tanks in accordance with DIN. The fill level indications can
also be read in litres. Tank height is set by means of a special screw, which is accessible after
removing the transparent front cover. The other screw is used to set the zero level of liquid in the
tank. With the red pointer you can set the reference level of liquid in the tank. The black pointer is
used to control the consumption of liquid.
Operation
The pneumatic tank contents gauge UNITOP is maintenance-free. The device can be checked for
correct indication at any time. Where possible, equipment should be checked at each filling of the
tank in terms of accuracy of its readings.
Since the gauge UNITOP is usually the only device that allows you to read the level of liquid in the
tank, even at the time of filling the tank from the tank vehicle, it is advisable to check and adjust the
machine during each maintenance of the tank.
63
IV. TRANSPORT AND STORAGE
5. Machines can be stored outdoors, without specific limitations. Storage space is to be paved,
even and without sharp edges.

VIII. OPERATION GUIDELINES
The BlueStore® machines are designed and executed for durability, reliability and low maintenance
during operation. Heeding the following recommendations will help to keep the BlueStore® in best
operating condition:
1. REFUELLING OF MACHINES.
a. Refuelling can only be carried out by a trained person. In the situation where the tank is located
at a considerable distance from the tanker one person should observe the tanker while a second
person should observe the unit while filling is in progress.
b. In justified cases it is also required that person supervising refuelling of the machine wear bright
coloured clothing and hardhats. In addition, depending on situation, mobile tank driver is to wear
personal protective equipment, such as boots, goggles, gloves, ear protection, raincoats, etc. as
provided for this type of activities.
c. Fuel oil delivery place is to be secured for the period of refuelling with safety signs, warning lights,
etc.. Safety measures are to be used particularly when mobile tank occupies the whole street
width and obstructs normal traffic.
d. Prior to refuelling check the condition of inlet ferrule, oil level in the machine, and cleanness of
machine interior. Check if the machine is stable on the ground of adequate bearing capacity.
Damages and other irregularities make the machine unfit for refuelling.
e. The BlueStore® machines should only be refilled from delivery tankers specifically intended for
the transport and delivery of AdBlue®. If the BlueMaster®, SlimLine and BlueMaster® light
machines are equipped with the optional dry coupling, the refilling can only be done through a
leak proof connection and with the TMS control panel switched. Check the technical condition of
connections. Any damage make them unfit for using. If the connection items are contaminated
with crystallized AdBlue®, flush them with warm water.
Align and bring both connections (housing and hose) together. Turn the hose connection
15°clockwise until the connections lock.
To close the valves and to unlock the units, reverse the procedure.
72
f. The machine can be filled up only to its rated capacity, which is 95% maximum capacity. Never
allow overfilling! After the beep signalling that the maximum level is achieved you should
immediately stop refuelling. Reset the alarm with "RESET" button.
g. Both loading and unloading of AdBlue® is to be carried out under strict supervision of properly
trained person.
h. Maximum allowed speed of refuelling the tank is 350 l / min., maximum filling pressure is 0.8
bar. For BlueTruckMaster® machines maximum allowed speed of refuelling is 150 l / min.
i. The delivery tanker must be leak proof and while refuelling the machine connected via
a suitable grounding wire to grounding stub.
j. Refuelling of BlueTruckMaster® and BlueMaster® light machines (standard versions without dry-
coupling) should be done using an automatic nozzle via 2" Eurofitting. During the refuelling level
indicator should be monitored.
k. The machines can store only pure AdBlue®. When refuelling use caution to avoid contamination
of the product.
l. The BlueMaster® SlimLine and Bluemaster® light machines (equipped with optional electronic
accessories) must be supplied with 230V AC during refuelling and operation, excluding
performance of service work, and the TMS control box and optional control devices must be
enabled.
This will ensure proper functioning of heating / cooling equipment. At temperatures below -
11.5°C the urea solution gets crystallized, leading to blockages and damages to parts of the
distribution system, and at temperatures above 35°C the urea is slowly decomposed (ammonia
excretion). Do not cover the fan and heating elements, periodically monitor their performance
and keep them clean.
Active TMS will also provide operation of level indicator, leak detector, maximum level alarm,
flow meter, lighting and telemetry.
m. It is not recommended to store AdBlue® longer than 6 months, because it is biodegradable
under the influence of bacteria and fungi. If the planned outage in operation is longer than 6
months, it is recommended to completely empty the tank and remove the AdBlue® from the
distribution system. Then thoroughly rinse pipe and pump with clean water, pumping a minimum
of 50 l. During the winter months the whole system should be emptied because freezing water
may cause damages to its elements. Before using again, the system requires repriming via
nozzle in suction pipe.
n. The TMS Control Panel allows you to reset to zero the current level indications. The procedure
is as follows:
73
Pressure probe zeroing procedure
in TMS 1.40
Note: If the tank is not empty, remove the probe from the tank
74
c. Unscrew the lid for priming (located on the top of the inner container).
75
3. REFUELLING OF VEHICLE
1. Never operate the machine at temperatures below - 20°C and above +40°C, nor in bad weather
conditions such as strong wind, etc..
2. It is forbidden to park more than one vehicle near the machine. Park your vehicle at a proper
distance from the machine to ensure smooth distribution. Turn off the engine of refuelled
vehicle.
3. It is forbidden to park vehicle in a way obstructing possible emergency evacuation from fire
hazard area.
4. Before operation make sure that the machine contains the minimum necessary volume of
AdBlue®. The TMS will indicate an alarm and the pump will not start if the level in the tank is
below the minimum as running the pump dry will damage it. The minimum levels are 75 l for
1,200 l, 100 l for 2,500 l, 150 l for 3,500 l, 200 l for 5,000 l and 280 l for 9,000 l. In
BlueTruckMaster®, BlueMaster® light machines the current level is visible through the tank wall
or can be determined using indicators such as SmartBox pneumatic indicator.
5. Perform visual inspection of the machine condition. Check that the delivery system is in good
condition without visible signs of external damage.
6. After long periods of non-operation nozzle may be blocked by crystallized AdBlue®. Rinse it with
warm water (40˚C), pouring it directly into nozzle.
7. At the pump inlet open the ball valve. Place nozzle in vehicle tank inlet and hit the clutch to start
filling. If the distribution system is partially filled with air (after a longer period of non-operation)
push nozzle clutch for about 50% of the maximum opening, until complete venting.
8. After refuelling remove nozzle from the inlet of the vehicle and place in the holder. The TMS
display will automatically go from flow indication mode to current level indication mode.Close the
ball valve on the inlet of the pump. BlueMaster® and SlimLine machines must remain powered,
the TMS must be "ON". Only than all ventilation systems, heating and alarm systems will remain
active.
9. The BlueMaster ® light machines have simplified design (especially in the standard version) and
you should proceed with caution. In particular:
- observe the current level in the tank, submersible pump is not protected against dry running,
- in machines with manual taps use caution because they are not protected against overfilling
the tank of the vehicle.
10. In the event of spilling AdBlue® onto or near the machine immediately remove the spill and rinse
with plenty of water.
11. If there is a tank leak immediately pump the contents over to another container and inform the
supplier of the machine.
12. Never cover the venting ferrule, clean it regularly.
13. If you have different fauIts pIease contact the authorized service center.
76
IX. DISPOSAL
In order to protect the environment machine excluded from the operation must not be disposed of
together with unsorted household waste. After operation period the machine must be disposed of in
accordance with European Directive 2002/96/EC.

SUCTION
FOREWORD
Diaphragm positive-displacement pumps are self-priming and feature good suction capacity.
During the start-up phase, when the suction pipe is empty and the pump is wet, the electric pump
unit is able to suck liquid from a maximum vertical distance of 2 mt.
IMPORTANT NOTE
Priming time can last a few minutes. We suggest performing priming operations without
automatic nozzle and making sure the pump is properly wet.
WARNING
Always install a foot valve to prevent the suction pipe from being emptied and to keep the
pump wet at all times. In this way, the pump will always start up immediately the next
times it is used.
CAVITATION
The pump is able to work with vacuums of up to 0.5 bar at the suction mouth. Over this value,
CAVITATION can occur that causes a fall in flow rate and increase in noise levels.
WARNING
The vertical distance between the pump and the fluid must fall within the 2 mt. maximum
required for priming. If the distance is greater, a foot valve must be installed to allow the
suction pipes to "ll up and the diameter pipes must be larger. It is recommended that the
pump not be installed at a vertical distance greater than 2 meters.
ATTENTION
If the suction tank is higher than the pump, an antisiphon valve should be installed
to prevent accidental product leaks. Size the installation to contain the back
pressures caused by water hammering.
ATTENTION
It is a good system practice to immediately install vacuum and air pressure gauges
at the inlets and outlets of the pump which allow verification that operating
conditions are within anticipated limits. To prevent the suction pipes from being
emptied when the pump stops, a foot valve should be installed.
91
L. CONNECTIONS
a. ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
ATTENTION
IT IS THE INSTALLER'S RESPONSIBILITY TO CARRY OUT THE ELECTRICAL
CONNECTIONS IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE RELEVANT STANDARDS.
WARNING
Comply with the following (not exhaustive) instructions to ensure a proper electrical
connection:
- During installation and maintenance make sure that power supply to the electric lines has been
turned off.
- Use cables with minimum sections, rated voltages and installation type that are suitable for the
characteristics indicated in paragraph "I - ELECTRICAL DATA" and the installation environment.
- Always make sure that the cover of the terminal strip box is closed before switching on the power
supply, after having checked the integrity of the seal gaskets that ensure the IP55 protection grade.
- All motors are equipped with a grounding terminal that is to be connected to the ground line of the
electrical system.

- single-phase motor with 2-mt. power cord,
- bipolar switch,
- capacitor.
Wired and installed inside the terminal strip box (see chart).
NOTE
The capacitor characteristics are those indicated on the pump label. The switch has the
only function of starting/ stopping the pump and cannot in any way replace the main
power switch required by the relevant standards.
SWITCH
92
b. PIPING CONNECTIONS
FOREWORD
- Before carrying out any connection, refer to the visual indications i.e. arrow on the pump head, to
identify suction and delivery.
ATTENTION
Wrong connection can cause serious pump damage.
PRELIMINARY INSPECTION
- Before connection, make sure that the piping and the suction tank are free of dirt and solid residue
that could damage the pump and its accessories.
- Before connecting the delivery pipe, partially fill the pump body, from delivery side, with the liquid
that needs to be pumped in order to facilitate priming.
- Do not use conical threaded fittings, which could damage the threaded inlet or outlet openings of
the pump if excessively tightened.
NOTE
If not already fitted, fit a suction filter.
93
M. INITIAL START-UP
FOREWORD
- Check that the quantity of fluid in the suction tank is greater than the amount you wish to transfer.
- Make sure that the residual capacity of the delivery tank is greater than the quantity you wish to
transfer.
- Make sure that the piping and line accessories are in good condition.
ATTENTION
Do not run the pump dry for more than 20 minutes. This can cause serious damage
to its components.
Fluid leaks can damage objects and injure persons.
NOTE
- Never start or stop the pump by connecting or cutting out the power supply.
- Prolonged contact with some fluids can damage the skin. The use of goggles and
gloves is recommended.
ATTENTION
Extreme operating conditions with duty cycles longer than 20 minutes can cause
the motor temperature to rise thus damaging the engine. For each duty cycle of 20
minutes, allow for a rest phase of 20 minutes with motor switched off.
NOTE
During the priming phase, the pump must discharge all the air that is initially
present from the delivery line. Therefore it is necessary to keep the outlet open to
permit the evacuation of the air.
WARNING
If an automatic type dispensing nozzle is installed on the end of the delivery line,
the evacuation of the air will be difficult because of the automatic stopping device
that keeps the valve closed. It is recommended that the automatic nozzle be
temporarily removed during initial start-up.
94
N. EVERY DAY USE
USE PROCEDURE
1. If flexible pipes are used, attach the ends of the piping to the tanks. In the absence of an
appropriate slot, solidly grasp the delivery pipe before beginning dispensing.
2. Before starting the pump make sure that the delivery valve is closed (dispensing nozzle or line
valve).
3. Turn the ON/OFF switch on.
4. Open the delivery valve, solidly grasping the pipe.
5. While dispensing, do not inhale the pumped product
6. Should you spill any fluid while dispensing, bank it with earth or sand to absorb it and limit its
spreading.
7. Close the delivery valve to stop dispensing.
8. When dispensing is finished, turn o$ the pump.
ATTENTION
The by-pass valve allows functioning with delivery closed only for short periods
(max. 3 minutes)
To avoid damaging the pump, after use, make sure the pump is off.
In case of a power break, switch the pump off straight away.
Should any sealants be used on the suction and delivery circuit of the pump, make sure that
these products are not released inside the pump.
Foreign bodies in the suction and delivery circuit of the pump could cause malfunctioning
and breakage of the pump components.
In case of prolonged dry-running of the pump, the suction circuit may be empty and suction
may become di&cult. If so, !ll the suction circuit with demineralised water.
O. MAINTENANCE
Safety instructions
The dispensing system was designed and built to require a minimal amount of maintenance.
Before carrying out any maintenance work, disconnect the dispensing system from any electrical
and hydraulic power source.
During maintenance, the use of personal protective equipment (PPE) is compulsory.
In any case always bear in mind the following basic recommendations for a good functioning of the
pump.
Measures to be taken
Whenever there is risk of frost, empty the circuit and the pump, taking care to place the pump in an
environment where the temperature is no lower than 0°C/32°F.
Check that the labels and plates found on the dispensing system do not deteriorate or become
detached over time.
95
ONCE A WEEK:
- Check that the pipe connections are not loose to prevent any leaks;
- Check and keep the "lter installed on the suction line clean.
ONCE A MONTH:
- Check the pump body and keep it clean and free of any impurities;
- Check that the electrical supply cables are in good condition.

B. DETAILS
The turbine flow meter (Turbinox) represents a range of flow meters developed to meet the different
control and measurement requirements during the transfer of liquids.
In accordance with the materials used for its construction (Stainless steel AISI 316I and A2 for body
and components, samarium-cobalt for magnets, Viton for seals and polypropylene for the impeller),
Turbinox can be used with different kinds of liquids such as acetone, alcohol, aniline, mineral oils,
vegetable oils, petrol, diesel fuel, water, urea/water solution.
The turbine/impeller measurement principle Allowi you to obtain a high degree of accuracy (for the
flow rate indicated) together with reduced load loss.
C. MEASURING PRINCIPLE
As it moves through the instrument, the fluid causes the turbine/impeller to start rotating; during
rotation, the turbine/impeller transfers “units of fluid” of a constant volume.
The exact measurement of the fluid dispensed is calculated by counting the revolutions of the
turbine/impeller and therefore the units of fluid transferred. The magnetic coupling, with the magnets
installed In the turbine/impeller and a magnetic switch located outside the measuring chamber,
guarantee the seal of the measuring chamber and ensure that the impulses generated by the
rotation of the turbine/ impeller are transmitted to a microprocessor.
The body of the flow meter is made of turned stainless steel, with 1-inch thread and hose-end fitting
at the outlet for ease of installation on piping (fixed system). The hose-end fitting, which is part of the
flow meter, has a 90° angle compared to the body of the flow meter and allows direct dispensing of
the measured liquid.
D2 IN LINE
The body is made of turned stainless steel. It Has two 1”-inch male threaded connectors. This
version is to be installed in line between the pipes and fixe systems. It is easy to install, but does not
allow for direct dispensing, except at the end of the system line in which the Turbinox is installed.
100
D3 HOW IT WORKS
Turbinox Pulser is a single-channel impulse transmitter. The Reed ampoule translates the magnetic-
field variations generated by the rotation of the turbine/impeller into electrical impulses to be sent to
an external receiver. The connection should be made in accordance with the diagram found in the
chapter “Installation”.
The pulser does not need an independent electrical power supply because it is powered directly by
the connection with the receiver. The type of impulse emitted is represented by a square wave
generated by the voltage variation, in accordance with the following diagram:
The calibration of the instrument is made by means of the external impulse receiver.

* NOTA BENE:
Do not use Turbinox at a flow rate that exceeds 40 litres/minute. Using it at higher flow rates
causes excessive wear of components.
101
F. INSTALLATION
The turbine flow meter (Turbinox) is designed to be installed as a fixed installation on a distribution
line. The hydraulic connections during the installation phase must be carried out by qualified
personnel.
The Turbinox pulser must be connected by means of two cables, in compliance with the electrical
characteristics shown on the diagram:
G. DAILY USE
Turbinox is supplied ready-to-use. Even after long periods of storage, commissioning operations are
not required. Once the flow meter has been correctly connected to the impulse receiver, there is no
Reed to switch it on or off.
H. MAINTENANCE
The turbine flow meter (Turbinox) has been designer so that it does not require maintenance.
The only work that may be necessary is the replacement of the o-ring seal (X on the exploded
diagram).
If there are serious impeller blockage problems caused by excess dirt, it is possible to replace the
entire measuring unit.
I. DISPOSAL
The components must be given to companies that specialise in the disposal and recycling of
industrial waste and, in particular, the
DISPOSAL OF PACKAGING.
The packaging consists of biodegradable cardboard which can be delivered to companies for normal
recycling of cellulose.
102
DISPOSAL OF ELECTRIC AND ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS:
these have to be disposed by companies that are specialised in the disposal of electronic
components, in accordance with the instructions of 2002/96/EC (see text of Directive below).
European Directive 2002/96/EC requires that the equipement Bering this symbol
on the product and/or its packaging must not be disposed of with unsorted
municipal waste. The symbol indicates that this product should be disposed of
separately from regular household waste streams. It is your responsibility to

A. BECOMING ACQUAINTED WITH REMOTE DISPLAY:
GENERAL
Remote Display is a digital remote display system of the amount of fluid dispensed and measured by an
electronic meter featuring an oval-gear measurement system or a turbine/impeller.
The transmission of electric pulses from meter to Remote Display is carried out through a simple 2-wire
cable.
Main components:
1) LCD display
105
The “LCD” of the RD features two numerical registers and various indications displayed to the user only
when the applicable function so requires
Legend:
1. Partial register (5 figures with moving comma: 0.000 ÷ 99999 ),
indicating volume dispensed from when the RESET button was last pressed;
2. Indication of battery charge;
3. Indication of calibration mode;
4. Totals register (6 figures with moving comma 0.0÷999999 x10 / x100),
that can indicate two types of Total:
4.1. General Total that cannot be reset ( TOTAL )
4.2. Resettable total ( Reset TOTAL)
5. Indication of total multiplication factor ( x10 / x100 )
6. Indication of type of total, (TOTAL / Reset TOTAL);
7. Indication of unit of measurement of Totals:
L=Litres
Gal=Gallons
8. Indication of Flow Rate mode
9. Indication of unit of measurement of Partial:
Qts=Quarts
Pts=Pints
L=Litres
Gal=Gallons
2) User Buttons
106
3) Battery Housing
The Remote Display is powered by two standard 1,5 V (size AA) batteries.
The batteries are inside the Remote Display (see photo chapter L).
B. INSTALLATION
The Remote Display has been specifically designed for stationary installation. The display is fitted with
a bracket that allows its rotation for best reading inclination.
To connect the pulser, loosen the 4 fixing screws of the rear lid, open the lid and insert the cable into
the cable gland. The two electrical wires of the cable must be connected to a terminal (see photo) with
two screws. Close the lid, ensuring that the o-ring is placed properly to guarantee a perfect seal.
Below are the connection diagrams, models without Pulse Transmitter and with Pulse Transmitter,
featuring the two power options by means of battery or external power supply.
107
REMOTE DISPLAY CONNECTION DIAGRAM WITH PULSE
TRANSMITTER (Pulse Out) - EXTERNAL / INTERNAL POWER
C. DAILY USE
METER is delivered ready for use. No commissioning operations are required even after long
storage periods. The only operations that need to be done for daily use are Partial and/or Reset Total
register resetting. Below are the two typical normal operation displays. One display page shows the
partial and Reset Total registers). The other shows the partial and general total. Switchover from
Reset Total to general total display is automatic and tied to phases and times that are factory set
and cannot be changed by the user.
The PARTIAL REGISTER positioned in the top part of the display indicates the quantity dispensed
since the RESET key was last pressed
* The RESET Total register, positioned in the lower part of the display, indicates the quantity dispensed
since the last RESET Total resetting. The RESET Total cannot be reset until the Partial has been reset,
while vice versa, the Partial can always be reset without resetting the RESET Total. The unit of
measurement of the two Totals can be the same as the Partial or else different according to the factory
or user settings.
* The General TOTAL register (Total) can never be reset by the user. It continues to rise for the entire
operating life of the meter.
108
The meter is programmed to show one or the other of the two totals at very precise times:
* The General Total (Total ) is shown during Meter standby
- The Reset Total is shown:
- At the end of a Partial reset for a certain time (a few seconds)
- During the entire dispensing stage
- For a few seconds after the end of dispensing. Once this short time has expired. Meter switches
to standby and lower register display switches to General Total.
NOTE:
6 digits are available for Totals, plus two icons x 10 / x100. The increment sequence is the
following:
0.0 → 99999.9 → 999999 → 100000 x 10 → 999999 x 10 → 100000 x 100 → 999999 x 100
This is default dispensing during which, while the count is made, the Partial and Reset Total are
displayed at the same time.
Should one of the two keys RESET or CAL be accidentally pressed during counting, this will have no
effect.
A few seconds after dispensing has ended, on the lower register, the display switches from Reset Total
to General Total: the word RESET above the word TOTAL disappears, and the Reset Total is replaced
by the General Total.
This situation is called STANDBY and remains stable until the user operates the meter again
109
C.1.1 Resetting the Partial Register
The Partial Register can be reset by pressing the RESET key when the meter is in
Standby, meaning when the display screen shows the word “TOTAL”.
After pressing the RESET key, during reset, the display screen first of all shows all
the lit-up digits
and then all the digits that are not lit up.
At the end of the process, a display page is first of all shown with the reset Partial
and the Reset Total
and, after a few moments, the Reset Total is replaced by the NON resettable Total
(Total).
The Reset Total resetting operation can only be performed after resetting the Partial
register. The Reset Total can in fact be reset by pressing the RESET key at length
while the display screen shows RESET TOTAL as on the following display page:
110
C2. DISPENSING WITH FLOW RATE MODE DISPLAY
- wait for the Remote Display to go to Standby, meaning the display screen shows Total only
- quickly press the CAL key.
- Start dispensing
The flow rate is updated every 0.7 seconds. Consequently, the display could be relatively unstable at
lower flow rates. The higher the flow rate, the more stable the displayed value.
IMPORTANT: The flow rate is measured with reference to the unit of measurement of the Partial.
IMPORTANT!
Even though in this mode they are not displayed, both the Reset Total and the General Total
(Total) increase. Their value can be checked after dispensing has terminated, returning to
“Normal” mode, by quickly pressing CAL.
111
C.2.1. Partial reset
To reset the Partial Register, finish dispensing and wait for the Remote Display to show a Flow Rate of
0.0 as indicated in the illustration
Unlike Normal mode, in this case during reset, you do not pass through the stages where the display
segments are first lit up and then switched off, but rather the reset partial register is immediately
displayed.
D. CALIBRATION
D1. DEFINITIONS
pulses received, to transform these into measured fluid units - Factory K Factor: Factory-set default
factor. It is equal to 1,000.
This calibration factor ensures utmost precision in the following operating conditions:
Fluid_______________motor oil type 10W40
Temperature:________20°C
Flow rate:___________5-25 litres/min
Even after any changes have been made by the user, the factory K factor can be restored by means of
a simple procedure.
- User K Factor: Customized calibration factor, meaning modified by calibration.
METER is supplied with a factory calibration that ensures precise measuring in most operating
conditions.
Nevertheless, when operating close to extreme conditions, such as for instance:
• with fluids close to acceptable range extremes (such as low-viscosity antifreeze or high-viscosity oils
for gearboxes )
• in extreme flow rate conditions (close to minimum or maximum acceptable values) on-the-spot
calibration may be required to suit the real conditions in which the meter is required to operate.
112
D3. WHY CALIBRATE
METER permits making quick and precise electronic calibration by changing the Calibration
Factor (K FACTOR).
Two procedures are available for changing the Calibration Factor:
1. In-Field Calibration, performed by means of a dispensing operation
2. Direct Calibration, performed by directly changing the calibration factor
The calibration phases can be entered ( by keeping the CAL key pressed for a long time) to
display the currently used calibration factor
- Return to factory calibration (Factory K Factor) after a previous calibration by the user
- Change the calibration factor using one of the two previously indicated procedures.
In calibration mode, the partial and total dispensed quantities indicated on the display screen take
on different meanings according to the calibration procedure phase.
In calibration mode, the METER can not be used for normal dispensing operations.
In “Calibration” mode, the totals are not increased.
IMPORTANT
The METER features a non-volatile memory that keeps the data concerning calibration and total
dispensed quantity stored for an indefinite time, even in the case of a long power break; after
changing the batteries, calibration need not be repeated.
By pressing the CAL key while the appliance is in Standby, the display page appears showing the
current calibration factor used.
Two cases can occur:
a) If no calibration has ever been performed, or the factory setting has been restored after previous
calibrations, the following display page will appear:
The word “Fact” abbreviation for “factory” shows that the factory calibration factor is being used
113
b) If, on the other hand, calibrations have been made by the user, the display page will appear
showing the currently used calibration factor ( in our example 0,998).
The word “user” indicates a calibration factor set by the user is being used.
IMPORTANT:
When the Factory Factor is confirmed, the old User
factor is deleted from the memory
This procedure calls for the fluid to be dispensed into a graduated sample container in real operating
conditions ( flow rate, viscosity, etc.) requiring maximum precision.
IMPORTANT
For correct METER calibration, it is most important to:
• completely eliminate air from the system before calibrating;
• use a precise Sample Container with a capacity of not less than 5 litres, featuring an accurate
graduated indicator.
• ensure calibration dispensing is done at a constant flow rate equivalent to that of normal use, until
the container is full;
• not reduce the flow rate to reach the graduated area of the container during the final dispensing
stage (the correct method during the final stages of sample container filling consists in making short
top-ups at normal operation flow rate) ;
• after dispensing, wait a few minutes to make sure any air bubbles are eliminated from the sample
container; only read the Real value at the end of this stage, during which the level in the container
could drop.
Carefully follow the procedure indicated below.
114

115
LONG RESET key keying
The METER is informed that the calibration procedure is finished.
Before performing this operation, make sure the INDICATED value is the
same as the REAL value.
The METER calculates the new USER K FACTOR ; this calculation could
require a few seconds, depending on the correction to be made.
NO OPERATION
At the end of the calculation, the new USER K FACTOR is shown for a few
seconds, after which the restart cycle is repeated to finally achieve standby
9 condition.
IMPORTANT: From now on, the indicated factor will become the
calibration factor used by the meter and will continue to remain such
even after a battery change
NO OPERATION
10 The METER stores the new work calibration factor and is ready to begin
dispensing, using the USER K FACTOR that has just been calculated.
This procedure is especially useful to correct a “mean error” obtainable on the basis of several
performed dispensing operations. If normal METER operation shows a mean percentage error, this can
be corrected by applying to the currently used calibration factor a correction of the same percentage. In
this case, the percentage correction of the USER K FACTOR must be calculated by the operator in the
following way:
Example:
Error percentage found E% - 0.9 %
CURRENT calibration factor
New USER K FACTOR
1.000
1.000 * [(100 – ( - 0.9))/100] =
1.000 * [(100 + 0.9)/100] =
1.009
116
If the meter indicates less than the real dispensed value (negative error) the new calibration factor
must be higher than the old one as shown in the example. The opposite applies if the meter shows
more than the real dispensed value (positive error).
Direct procedure calibration:
Action Display

NO OPERATION
At the end of the calculation, the new USER K FACTOR is shown for a few

calibration factor used by the meter and will continue to remain such
even after a battery change
NO OPERATION
9 The METER stores the new work calibration factor and is ready to begin
dispensing, using the USER K FACTOR that has just been changed.
117
E. CONFIGURATION OF UNIT OF MEASUREMENT
The METER feature a menu with which the user can select the main measurement unit, Quarts (Qts),
Pints (Pts), Litres (Lit), Gallons (Gal);
The combination of the unit of measurement of the Partial register and that of the Totals is predefined
according to the following table:
* then press the CAL and RESET keys together. Keep these pressed until the word “UNIT” appears on
the screen together with the unit of measurement set at that time (in this example Litres / Litres )
Every short press of the RESET key, the various combinations of the units of measurements are
scrolled as shown below:
By pressing the CAL key at length, the new settings will be stored, the METER will pass through the
start cycle and will then be ready to dispense in the set units.
IMPORTANT
The Reset Total and Total registers will be automatically changed to the new unit of
measurement.
118
F. PULSE TRANSMITTER (PULS OUT)
In some models an outlet of “NPN-Open Collector” type is available. This outlet issues a certain number
of pulses by Unit of measurement of the partial quantity dispensed. The Number of pulses can be
selected amongst 7 proposed options (1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 50, 100)
This outlet can be connected to a remote receiver having the following characteristics:
- at software level it shall have a “pulse weight” according to the transmission of the Remote Display
- at hardware level the receiver connection shall have an input circuit of “Pull-up” type with the
following features
- Vdc max = 12 V
- I max = 0,5 A
Below is the logic connection diagram of the outlet with the remote receiver:
The procedure for entering the selection menu of the number of pulses emitted by each unite of
measurement of the dispensed partial quantity is the same used to change the unite of measurement:
then press the CAL and RESET keys together. Keep these pressed until the word “UNIT” appears on
the screen together with the unit of measurement set at that time (in this example Litres / Litres):
119
By quickly pressing CAL (only for models with Pulser Out) you will pass to a new configuration menu.
It will be displayed the definition page of the pulse number that the Remote Display supplies on the
outlet by each counted unit of measurement of Partial; by quickly pressing RESET, the available [pulse
number / Unite of Measurement of Partial] is scrolled down:
By pressing the CAL key at length, the new settings will be stored, the Remote Display will pass
through the start cycle and will then be ready to dispense.
ATTENTION:
Only for the turbine/impeller model, the Pulse Out 100 option does not work with flow
rates above 150 Pt/min (70 Lt/min.)
G. MAINTENANCE
The only maintenance operation required on the Remote Display is the battery change, necessary only
when the batteries have run down
Changing the batteries
The Remote Display is complete with 2 x 1.5 V. alkaline batteries SIZE 1N.
The Remote Display features two low-battery alarm levels:
1) When the battery charge falls below the first level on the LCD, the fixed battery symbol appears. In
this condition, the Remote Display continues to operate correctly, but the fixed icon warns the user
that it is time to change the batteries.
2) If the Remote Display operation continues without changing the batteries, the second battery alarm
level will be reached which will prevent operation. In this condition the battery icon starts to flash and
is the only one to remain visible on the LCD.
120
ATTENTION
Do not discard the old batteries into the environment. Refer to local disposal regulations.
To change the batteries, with reference to the spare parts list positions, proceed as follows:
• Press RESET to update all the totals
• Loosen the 4 screws of the battery cover (pos.1); remove the cover (pos.2) and the gasket (pos.3)
• Remove the battery compartment (pos.4)
• Remove the old batteries
• Place the new batteries in the same position as the old ones, making sure the positive pole is
positioned as indicated on the battery compartment.
• Place the battery compartment in its seat and apply the gasket and cover with the relevant screws,
by performing the previously described operations in reverse order.
• The Remote Display will switch on automatically and normal operation can be resumed.
The Remote Display will display the same Reset Total, the same Total and the same Partial indicated
before the batteries were changed.
After changing the batteries and, subsequently, every time there is a power break, the Remote Display
will start again and use the same calibration factor used when the break occurred. The meter does not
therefore need calibrating again.

B. BECOMING ACQUAINTED WITH K24
Electronic digital meter featuring a turbine measurement system, designed for precise measuring
of low viscosity fluids.
B1 MEASUREMENT SYSTEM
The turbine is placed inside a hole through the body of k24, fitted with threaded inlet and outlet.
The body of k24 is made of a plastic material that allows several types of threads with relevant
combinations. K24 has 2 rubber protections, designed to act as gaskets, too, and thus reducing
the number of its components. The liquids compatible with k24 must be at low viscosity, namely:
• Diesel fuel.
• Water.
• Water/urea solution.
• Kerosene.
• Windscreen.
• Petrol.
Main components:
B2 DISPLAY POSITIONING
The square shape of the k24 body allows the card to be rotated in its housing, thus ensuring great
versatility in positioning.
126
NOTICE
While fixing the K24 card, make sure the battery contact cable is not placed above the circular
housing of the bulb.
B3 OPERATING MODES
The meter features a non-volatile memory for storing the dispensing data, even in the event of a
complete power break for long periods. The measurement electronics and the LCD display are
fitted in the top part of the K24 which remains isolated from the fluid-bath measurement chamber
and sealed from the outside by means of a cover.
B4 LCD DISPLAY
The “LCD” of the METER features two numerical registers and various indications displayed to the
user only when the applicable function so requires.
Key:
1. Partial register (5 figures with moving comma
FROM 0.1 to 99999) indicating the volume
dispensed since the reset button was last
pressed;.
2. Indication of battery charge;
3. Indication of calibration mode;
4. Totals register (6 figures with moving comma
FROM 0.1 to 999999), that can indicate two types of
Total:
4.1. General Total that cannot be reset (TOTAL)
4.2. Resettable total (Reset TOTAL)
5. Indication of total multiplication factor (x10 / x100 )
6. Indication of type of total, (TOTAL / Reset TOTAL);
7. Indication of unit of measurement of Totals: L= Litres
8. Indication of Flow Rate mode Gal= Gallons
9. 9. Indication of unit of measurement of Partial: Qts= Quarts
Pts= Pints
L= Litres
Gal= Gallons
B5 USER BUTTONS
The k24 features two buttons (reset and cal) which individually perform two main functions and,
together, other secondary functions. The main functions performed are:
• For the reset key, resetting the partial register and resettable total (reset total)
• For the cal key, entering instrument calibration mode.
Used together, the two keys permit entering configuration mode, useful for changing the units of
measurements and calibration factor.
127
B6 BATTERY HOUSING
The k24 is powered by two standard type 1.5 V batteries (size AAA). The battery housing, easily
accessible, is closed by a metal cover sealed through a rubber protection acting as a gasket as
well. The whole unit can be easily removed by unscrewing the 4 screws fixing the cover and the
protection to the body.
C. INSTALLATION
K24 features a threaded, perpendicular inlet and outlet (1” gas or ntp male and female that can be
combined together). It has been designed to be easily installed in any position:
fixed in-line or mobile on a dispensing nozzle. In order to improve the life of the turbine, it is
recommended to fit a strainer before the meter itself.
NOTICE
At the female inlets, tighten the couplings at a max. torque of 55N/m.
D. USE
The only operations that need to be done for daily use are partial and/or resettable total register
resetting.
The user should use only the dispensing system of k24.
Occasionally the meter may need to be configured or calibrated. To do so, please refer to the
relevant chapters. Below are the two typical normal operation displays.
One display page shows the partial and reset total registers. The other shows the partial and
general total. Switchover from resettable total to general total display is automatic and tied to
phases and times that are in factory set and cannot be changed.
NOTICE
6 digits are available for Totals, plus two icons x 10 / x100. The increment sequence is the
following:
0.0 → 99999.9 → 999999 → 100000 x 10 → 999999 x 10 → 100000 x 100 → 999999 x 100
128
D1 DISPENSING IN NORMAL MODE
The partial register can be reset by pressing the reset key when the meter is in standby, meaning
when the display screen shows the word “TOTAL”.
After pressing the reset key, during reset, the display screen first of all shows all the lit-up digits and
then all the digits that are not lit up.
129
At the end of the process, a display page is first of all shown with the reset partial and the reset
total.
and, after a few moments, the reset total is replaced by the non resettableTotal.
The reset total resetting operation can only be performed after resetting the partial register. The
reset total can in fact be reset by pressing the reset key At length while the display screen shows
reset total as on the following display page:
130
2. Press the reset key quickly
3. The meter starts to reset the partial
4. While the display page showing the reset total is displayed Press the reset key again
for at least 1 second.
5. The display screen again shows all the segments of the display followed by all the switched-off
segments and finally shows the display page where the reset Reset Total is shown.
NOTICE
The flow rate is measured with reference to the unit of measurement of the Partial. For this
reason, in case of the unit of measurement of the Partial and Total being different, as in the
example show below, it should be remembered that the indicated flow rate relates to the
unit of measurement of the partial. In the example shown, the flow rate is expressed in
Qts/min.
The word “Gal” remaining alongside the flow rate refers to the register of the Totals (Reset
or NON Reset) which are again displayed when exiting from the flow rate reading mode.
131
To return to “Normal” mode, press the CAL key again. If one of the two keys RESET or CAL is
accidentally pressed during the count, this will have no effect.
NOTICE
Even though in this mode they are not displayed, both the Reset Total and the General
Total (Total) increase. Their value can be checked after dispensing has terminated,
returning to “Normal” mode, by quickly pressing CAL.
To reset the Partial Register, finish dispensing and wait for the Remote Display to show a Flow
Rate of 0.0 as indicated in the illustration then quickly press RESET.
E. CALIBRATION
E1 DEFINITIONS
Calibration factor or “k factor” : Multiplication factor applied by the system to the electrical pulses
received, to transform these into measured fluid units.
FACTORY K FACTOR: Factory-set default factor.
It is equal 1,000. This calibration factor ensures utmost precision in the following operating
conditions:
Fluid diesel fuel,
Temperature: 20°C,
Flow rate: 10-120 litres/min
Even after any changes have been made by the user, the factory k factor can be restored by
means of a simple procedure.
USER K FACTOR:
Customized calibration factor, meaning modified by calibration.
E2 WHY CALIBRATE
When operating close to extreme conditions, such as for instance with fluids close to acceptable
range extremes (like diesel fuel at low temperatures) or in extreme flow rate conditions (close to
minimum or maximum acceptable values), an on-site calibration may be required to suit the real
conditions in which the k24 is required to operate.
132
E3 CALIBRATION PROCEDURE
K24 permits making quick and precise electronic calibration by changing the calibration factor
(k factor).
There are 2 different ways of calibration:
1. On-site calibration, performed by means of a dispensing operation.
2. Direct calibration, performed by directly changing the k factor.
To enter the calibration phases it is necessary to press and hold down the “cal” button.
In calibration mode, the partial and total dispensed quantities indicated on the display screen take
on different meanings according to the calibration procedure phase. During the calibration, the k24
cannot perform any normal dispensing operations. In calibration mode, the totals are not
increased.
WARNING:
The k24 features a non-volatile memory.
It keeps the calibration and dispensing data stored even after replacing new batteries or
long periods of inactivity.
By pressing the cal key while the appliance is in standby, the display page appears showing the
current calibration factor used.
If you are using k24 with “factory k factor”, the display page shown in the diagram will be
displayed, with the word “fact”.
If one “user k factor” has been set, the calibration factor set by the user (in our example 0.998) will
be displayed. The word “user” indicates a calibration factor set by the user is being used.
The flow chart alongside shows the switchover logic from one display page to another.
133
In this condition, the Reset key permits switching from User factor to Factory factor. To confirm the
choice of calibration factor, quickly press CAL while “User” or “Fact” are displayed. After the restart
cycle, the meter uses the calibration factor that has just been confirmed.
NOTICE
When the Factory Factor is confirmed, the old User factor is deleted from the memory.
This procedure calls for the fluid to be dispensed into a graduated sample container in real
operating conditions (flow rate, viscosity, etc.) requiring maximum precision.
WARNING:
For correct K24 calibration, it is most important to:
• completely eliminate air from the system before calibrating;
• use a precise Sample Container with a capacity of not less than 5 litres, featuring an
accurate graduated indicator.
• ensure calibration dispensing is done at a constant flow rate equivalent to that of
normal use, until the container is full;
• not reduce the flow rate to reach the graduated area of the container during the final
dispensing stage (the correct method during the final stages of sample container
filling consists in making short topups at normal operation flow rate);
• after dispensing, wait a few minutes to make sure any air bubbles are eliminated
from the sample container; only read the Real value at the end of this stage, during
which the level in the container could drop.
• if necessary, carefully follow the procedure indicated below.

battery change.
NO OPERATION
10 K24 stores the new calibration factor and is ready for dispensing, applying the
newly defined USER K FACTOR.
This procedure is especially useful to correct a “mean error” obtainable on the basis of several
performed dispensing operations. If normal K24 operation shows a mean percentage error, this
can be corrected by applying to the currently used calibration factor a correction of the same
percentage. In this case, the percentage correction of the USER K FACTOR must be calculated by
the operator in the following way:
⎛ 100 – E% ⎞
K factor new = K factor old ∗ ⎜ ⎟
⎝ 100 ⎠
Example:
If the meter indicates less than the real dispensed value (negative error) the new calibration factor
must be higher than the old one as shown in the example. The opposite applies if the meter shows
more than the real dispensed value (positive error).

F. METERS CONFIGURATION
Some models of meter feature a menu with which the user can select the main measurement unit,
Quarts (Qts), Pints (Pts), Litres (Lit), Gallons (Gal);
The combination of the unit of measurement of the Partial register and that of the Totals is
predefined according to the following table:
WARNING:
The Resettable Total and Total registers will be automatically changed to the new unit of
measurement. NO new calibration is required after changing the Unit of Measurement.
138
G. MAINTENANCE
K24 has been designed to require a minimum amount of maintenance. The only types of
maintenance required are the following:
1. Battery change – necessary when the batteries have run down
2. Cleaning of the turbine with washing or mechanically-handling
1 Battery Replacement
K24 is complete with 2 x 1.5 V. alkaline batteries SIZE AAA.
K24 features two low-battery alarm levels:
1) When the battery charge falls below the first level on the LCD, the fixed battery symbol appears.
In this condition, K24 continues to operate correctly, but the fixed icon warns the user that it is
ADVISABLE to change the batteries.
2) If K24 operation continues without changing the batteries, the second battery alarm level will be
reached which will prevent operation. In this condition the battery icon starts to flash and is the
only one to remain visible on the LCD.
WARNING
Do not discard the old batteries in the environment. Refer to local disposal regulations.
To change the batteries, with reference to the exploded diagram positions, proceed as follows:
• Press RESET to update all the totals
• Loosen the 4 fixing screws of the lower cover
• Remove the old batteries
• Place the new batteries in the same position as the old ones
• close the cover again, by positioning the rubber protection as a gasket
• K24 will switch on automatically and normal operation can be resumed.
The K24 will display the same Reset Total, the same Total and the same Partial indicated before
the batteries were changed.
After changing the batteries, the meter does not need calibrating again.
2. Cleaning
Only one operation is necessary to clean the k24.
After removing k24 from the plant where it was built in, any residual elements can be removed by
washing or mechanically-handling.
If this operation does not restore a smooth rotation of the turbine, it will have to be replaced.
WARNING
Do not use compressed air onto the turbine in order to avoid its damage because of an
excessive rotation.

XVII. OVAL GEAR METER COGEM-P
OPERATING INSTRUCTION
Oval gear meters are measuring and control instruments used for acquiring and processing
measured volume and flow values. They form the basis for realizing system solutions in
automation tasks of liq-uids flowing in pipelines.
Oval gear meters are volume and flow measuring instruments that work according to the principle
of positive displacement. Two meshing, involute toothed oval gears are caused to rotate by the
flowing liquid and transport an exactly defined measuring chamber volume with each rotation of
the oval gear. This rotation of the oval gear is transformed into pulses by means of magnets and
can then be ac-quired electronically.
Oval gear meters are optimally tailored to the respective conditions of application by the vemm tec
company, whereas later optimization for other applications is possible as well.
Oval gear meters can be used as industrial measuring instruments for liquid mediums to be
measured with a viscosity of between 0.3mPas and 300,000mPas. The exact conditions of use for
your oval gear meter are given on the type plate of the oval gear meter or the specification sheet
attached to each oval gear meter. All data, such as viscosity and temperature ranges, flow etc. are
indicated here as well. Before delivery each oval gear meter is checked on our test stand and
adjusted in accordance with the envisaged application.
144
3. Oval gear meters for measuring equipment for custody transfer
Oval gear meters are approved by the Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt (PTB) for use in
meas-uring equipment for custody transfer. Before installation they must be checked preliminarily
on a test stand approved for these purposes by a Gauging office. The preliminary test error limits
are taken down in a preliminary test certificate which is allocated to the instrument and attached to
it when it is supplied. The temperature and viscosity ranges required by the PTB have to be
complied with. Open-ing the instruments by persons not having the permission for repair and prior
to calibration of the whole system by the respective Gauging office leads to the expiration of the
preliminary test certificate of the Gauging office.
In installations where the fluid to be metered is pumped, the suction line should be kept as short as
pos¬sible. The pumps should be located below the liquid level. Oval gear meters shall not be used
imme¬diately after reciprocating pumps, dosing machines etc. or in applications where the flow is
sud-denly interrupted by cut-off devices (e. g. undamped solenoid valves)! In order to prevent
pressure shocks in the line steady flow of the liquid has to be ensured. The oval gear meter must
be installed in such a way that the fluid does not drain from the meter under no-flow conditions.
The fluid to be metered must pass through the meter without bubbles. The measurement result will
be affected by air or gas in the fluid and the oval gear meter can be damaged. By installing a gas
separator closely upstream the meter it is possible to reduce air and gas in the fluid to an
admissible minimum. In installations where the measured medium is supplied to the meter under
natural flow or by gas or liquid pressure a gas separa¬tor is not necessary since the danger of gas
in the fluid does not exist here. It has to be taken into ac¬count that there is a pressure loss across
the oval gear meter depending on flowrate and viscosity of the measured medium. The oval gear
meters are designed by vemm tec in such a way that the pressure loss is below 1 bar in case all
technical data indicated on the type plate are complied with. The exact value is given on the
specification sheet that is attached to each oval gear meter.
If you do not know the value, vemm tec will be pleased to inform you considering your equipment
data. Oval gear meters can be damaged by solids in the fluid. That is why basket type meter-
protection strainers should be fitted directly upstream the meter. High-viscosity fluids often have to
be heated in order to reach the low viscosity required for processing and measurement. In this
case not only the pipeline, but also the oval gear meter has to be heated.
145
Before measurement begins the measured media in the oval gear meter must be raised to the
required temperature.
Before installing the meter, the pipeline and the whole plant should be thoroughly cleaned from
dirt, impuri¬ties as weld spatters, chips, dust etc. For this, instead of the meter a fitting piece must
be installed in the pipeline and the plant must be rinsed several times. The sealing caps in the
connecting flanges of the meter must be removed just immediately before installation.
Oval gear meters must be installed such that the head flange or body cover is vertical, irrespective
of whether the pipe axis is horizontal, vertical or inclined. Thus it is reached that the horizontal
position of the oval gear axis required for faultless function and accuracy of the meter is
guaranteed. The flow direction indicated on the measuring unit casing has to be observed in any
case. The meter has to be fitted tightly in the line and fixed with few stress. Support of the dead
weight is recommended!
If the oval gear meters are used outside, they must be protected from rain and snow by a
respective cover. For the electric connection attention has to be paid that an equipotential bonding
conductor of at least 4 sq.mm CU is connected between the oval gear meter and the respective
equipment (NAMUR switch amplifier).
Safety characteristics:
Only NAMUR switch amplifiers with the following characteristics may be used for connection
Uo<Ui Po<Pi lk<li
Lo > Li Co > Ci
Capacitance per unit length Ck and inductance per unit length Lk of the connecting cable have to
be taken into consideration here.
146
7. Putting into service and operation
Before putting into service an oval gear meter, its operation data (flowrate, viscosity, temperature,
pressure, material qualities) have to be compared with those of the equipment. Application beyond
the parameters determined for the meter is not permitted. In case of doubt get in touch with
vemmtec. The equipment has to be deaerated slowly and thoroughly, flooded and started
throttledly. As soon as the function of the meter is shown on the indicator unit, the equipment has
to be run throttledly until complete deairing of the pipeline is reached. Care should be taken to
ensure that there will be no pressure shocks, strong pulsations and vibrations. Such irregularities
have a negative effect on the result of measurement and might cause damage to the oval gear
meter.
During putting into service attention has to be paid to a faultless operation of the meter (indication,
running noise).
If clear irregularities occur, the flow has to be throttled. If the meter fails to operate (blocking of
oval gears), the flow must be interrupted immediately, since otherwise the excessively rising feed
pressure can cause damage to the meter.
Only after eliminating the cause of the fault (e. g. solids in the pipeline) and the damages possibly
caused putting into operation may be repeated. If a bypass is existing, the equipment has to be put
into operation via this. The flow should be released slowly via the meter. After this the liquid flow in
the bypass should be gradually interrupted. When putting into operation oval gear meters with
volume presetting unit, the measuring equipment has to be started without using the control
function of the volume presetting unit. For this the equipment must be cut off by an additional
actuator and the actuator controlled by the volume presetting unit must be opened by presetting a
respectively big volume. After that, the equipment has to be started via the additional actuator
observing all abovementioned hints. Only in case of faultless and normal operation of the
equipment, the control function of the volume presetting unit may be used.
8. Pulse output
The pulse output is connected to a socket. NAMUR, PNP or NPN outputs are available.
For application in hazardous areas a blue data line (NAMUR) has to be used generally. The
insulation check shall be carried out in the plant. When a two-channel pulse generator is used,
only one connection to two-channel devices with a common Plus (+) is admissible. The two-
channel pulse generator with connector must not be used at two connections physically separated
from each other.
9. Service Maintenance
Maintenance shall be carried out only by sufficiently trained personnel only. ATTENTION! When
releasing the casing cover or measuring chamber lid liquid drains from the meter. In case of
aggressive or harmful as well as very hot or very cold measured media there is danger of
cauterization, poisoning or burn.
If an oval gear meter is taken out of service for a longer time the meter has to be removed,
cleaned thoroughly and in case of types of steel casting or gray cast iron to be conserved with
non-corroding oil. Inlet and outlet boreholes must be closed by sealing caps.
The user is not able to correct failures. The personnel should be duly instructed. Occurring failures
have to be cor¬rected by the after-sales service of the manufacturer or by the contractual
workshops. In most cases the oval gear meter has to be readjusted (calibrated) after repair. In
case of repair orders the failure has to be described (e.g. error limits not observed, oval gears
blocked etc.).
Attention!
Before dispatching the meters to be repaired must be rinsed and cleaned thoroughly by the user in
order to exclude damage by drainage of aggressive media.
11. Warranty
The warranty period depends on the "General conditions for business" of the company vemm tec
Messtechnik GmbH Babelsberg. It is 24 months. The place of execution is D-14482 Potsdam.
Observe storage and transport rules!
The following instructions have to be observed: Oval gear meters should be transported in rigid
cardboard boxes or other cases. Transport must be carried out with the care necessary for
sensitive measuring instruments. The fitted transport instructions have to be observed. During
transport and storage inlet and outlet openings of the measuring units have to be kept closed by
sealing caps.
Non-corrosion-resistant measuring units are preserved before packing up by spraying the inside of
the measuring unit with an anticorrosive agent. If it is stored for a period longer than 6 months,
preservation has to be repeated. After that, connecting flanges have to be closed by sealing caps.
In case of outdoor storage roofing has to be pro-vided.

1. General description
EZPr is designed as a fuel pump price calculator. The setup and operating concept is designed for a
universal application and to be set and operated as easy as possible. EZPr may optionally be used
for calibrated fuel pumps, if the device has been tested in advance by the Bureau of Weights and
Measures.
EZPr's mode of operation is quite simple. You take out the fuel nozzle, the mini-counter switches the
pump on and you can begin fuelling.
Already integrated in the electronics of the EZPr is the 3-phase protection used to trigger the pump
motor so that externally, along with the 3-phase fuses, only a motor protection switch will need to be
installed.
The device is delivered pre-configured with all of the necessary settings. This allows it to be operated
immediately after being assembled. In the upper large display, the dispensed amount can be seen in
litres.
The smaller display shows in the upper line the total price, in the lower line it shows the unit price per
litre.
With optional additional modules, the device can be connected to automated fuelling and point of sale
systems. Two modules are available to choose from: TASS is an Pulses interface, ER3-Slave is a data
interface. With these additional modules, EZPr can be connected to almost any automated fuelling
system or to any point of sale system. You can receive a list of devices, which we have tested in
combination EZPr upon request.
The add-on data interface ER-3 also allows for a possible Pulses interface, which will make it possible
to exclude any gas recalculation control within the fuel pump. EZPr can be used at exterior
temperatures of down to -20°C.
! Note: If the add-on module for an impulse interface has been installed, the fuelling system must
first have given a release signal.
The same applies for the optional add-on module for the data interface ER-3.

5 Calibration Instructions
To start calibration, the calibration switch is to be set at OFF (see illustration 2) so that the device is
not In calibration mode. The following points must be considered:
Determine the pulse values or the K factor of the metering chamber and use these as the settings in
the menu item "Pulse Value".
Example:
- Metering Chamber: 0.356 litres / revolution
- Pulse transmiter: 100 Pulses/ revolution
- Display accuracy = 10 for one position after the decimal point (0.0)
100 for two positions after the decimal point (0.00)
Pulses/Revolution
Litre/Revolution = Pulses/Litre
For variations in measurements the pulse value must be re-defined. The following applies:
For these measurements, determining the exact calibration of the volumes at loading temperature is
monitored. This device does not have a calibrated thermometer and is not designed to compensate
for variations in temperature.
After completing the calibration, power to the device is to be switched off and the calibration switch is
to be set to ON. After that, the appropriate technical calibration fuses are to be attached.
The calibration parameters that were entered are recorded on a copy of the last page of these
instructions and are added to the documents for the next time the device is checked.

XIX. GMS TELEMETRY INSTALLATION IN TMS
1. Ensure Power is disconnected from the TMS Box before you open the door or carry out any
work on the unit.
2. Place Blue GSM board in the left bottom corner of TMS and screw down the board ensuring
not to over tighten. Ensure orientation is such that the two capacitors are positioned in the
centre at the top of the board as per picture.
3. Connect 12V from the TMS 12v power socket board to Blue GSM board.
Ensure red wire connects positive poles and black wire connects negative poles (GND)
174
4. Connect the blue gsm antenna cable assembly to the top right hand corner of the box
base in the hole provided. Use sealant to ensure against ingress. Connect the other end
of the blue gsm cable assembly to the Blue GSM board by hand tightening the brass
screw fully onto the socket. Do not put pressure on the board or over tighten.
175
5. Connect I2C cable between Blue GSM and TMS PsoC board. Double check that the
SDA, SCL and GND are connected to each other.
176
7. Observe the LED’s.
There are 4 LED’s on the left side of the Blue GSM Board – SIGNAL, GPRS, ACTIVE,
SDCARD
After power on all 4 LED’s should flash 3 times. Note if this does not occur It takes up to 2
minutes for the capacitors to fully charge. In this state the LED’s will illuminate one after
another.
When the capacitors are fully charged LED’s are switched off for about 20 seconds (until
GSM modem initializes).
After that SIGNAL LED and ACTIVE LED should switch ON. That means the modem is
working properly and GSM signal strength is good.
GPRS LED can also switch ON, but it’s not necessary for correct functionality.
8. Close the TMS box and ensure that the seals are intact and the glands are fully closed.
9. If there is any concern about ingress use a sealant to bond the box.

XXI. TMS SOFTWARE INSTRUCTIONS
13. Introduction
TMS calibrator is a software to use with the TMS Box. The latest version of calibrator
covering all the TMS versions.
TMS Calibrator zip file contains a directory “STables” with the strapping tables and a TMS Calibrator
exe file. When you extract a zip file make sure that the “STables” and the exe file are in the same
directory.
From the version 1.35b TMS box start to use the Strapping Table to make a volume measurements
more accurate. Strapping table is a table with the heights and volumes which describe the specified
type of the tank. There is one strapping table for one type of tank. The versions below 1.35b uses
the linear function to calculate volume.
TMS Calibrator automatically recognise the TMS version and choose the correct procedure to
calibrate. Calibrator also deactivates some functions not used in the old versions.
Use a special cable to connect TMS with the COM port in your computer. Choose the
COM port from the list and click “Connect to TMS” button.
209
Picture2. Choose the COM port.
If you are not sure what COM port you are using in your computer check that in the
Control Panel.
When you successfully connect TMS to the computer you will see a message below the
button and the button change the name to “Connected”.
Choose the tank from the list and click “Calibrate” button.
210
Depend on version of the TMS the calibrator will choose whether send strapping table or
use a linear function.
“Detected” value beside the Height box showing an actual height measured by Ultrasonic
device. This is very useful parameter when calibrating the TMS with ultrasonic device.
Sometimes “detected” value could be a little different than the default height for a tank. But the
“detected” value shows a real height of the tank and should be used rather than a default
“Height” value.
After you click “Calibrate” program will ask you whether use Height or Detected value.
By clicking the “Edit value” button we will be able to change the tank parameters
manually for a specified type of tank. The password is: changeme.
“Const” value is only true for the TMS versions 1.35a and lower and shows the
coefficient [litres/cm] for the linear function calculations.
To calibrate the tank which is not in the standard tanks you have to go to “Advanced” tab
and use Create New Tank. To activate this tab click File in the pop-up menu and then Advanced.
Password is: bigson.
To Calibrate New Tank you must choose the tank shape, put the height, capacity, overfill and low
level values. Then click “Calibrate” button.
211
• Version 1.35b and higher
You can choose one from the three tank shapes: Cubic, Cylindrical or Irregular. For first
two there is fixed strapping table. For Irregular you have to create a strapping table by clicking
“Strapping Table” button.
Click “Go” beside the “Max Capacity” to send Height, Max Capacity and Tank Shape to the TMS.
Click “Go” beside the “Low Level” to send High Level and Low Level to the TMS. For Irregular tank
you can edit the strapping table. Click “Strapping Table” button to open edit window.
212
First values in the Level Table and Volume Table are fixed (0,0). In the Level Table
column enter the height in centimetres. In the Volume Table column enter the volume in litres.
You can save the tables to the text files using “Save as” button, or load the tables from
files using “Browse” button. If the table is ready click “Send” to calibrate the TMS with that
table. Remember that the table should contains at least 2 level and 2 volume elements. The
quantity of level element should equal the quantity of volume element. Do not use values with
decimal point.
Alarm Controls change some of the TMS parameters. To send parameter to TMS just
click “Go” button beside it.
• Flow rate: you can choose one from the three types, depends what flowmeter is used (AdBlue –
0.011 litre/imp, FuelMaster® – 0.02985 litre/imp, Biodiesel – 0.02857)
• Custom Flow Rate: enter manually the flow rate in [litres/imp]
• Management Mode: switching on/off the automatic pump control.
Panel ON – enables driving the pump from the external panel, there is no dispensing screen on
the TMS display, flowmeter is connected to the external panel.
RFID ON – enables driving the pump from the RFID module.
Mgmt Mode OFF – switches off management mode.
• Low Level Alarm: switches on/off low level alarm indication.
• High Level Alarm: switches on/off overfill alarm indication.
• Leak Alarm: switches on/off leak alarm indication.
• Light: switches on/off light control.
• Dry Run Pump Time: set the maximum pump running time when no pulses coming from
flowmeter (no dispensing)
• Hysteresis [%]: alarms on/off difference (refer to the TMS manual)
213
• High Temperature, Low Temperature: changing the temperature levels for heaters and fans,
available only for versions 1.38 and higher.
• Manual Command: sending a command straight to the COM port.
20. Diagnostics
We can do here a functionality test, 4-20mA output test and read status report.
• Functionality test: click “Begin” to start, it takes 30 seconds, during the test TMS switches on light
and buzzer, displays measured height in centimetres on the display and when you lift the pistol it
switches on the pump.
• 4-20mA Calibration Test: available only for versions 1.38 and higher. 4 – sets 4mA on the output
20 – sets 20mA on the output End – ends a test. Click “Send” button to set the value.
• TMS Status Report: reads status report from the TMS, you can see here most of the TMS
parameters and check the TMS version. Click “Update (Allow 10 seconds)” button to update the
fields.
We can change the type of the sensor TMS is using for level measurement and do adjustments for
pressure sensor.
214
• Selecting the sensor: choose sensor type from the list and click “Send>” button.
• Pressure sensor zero adjustment: take the pressure sensor out of the liquid, if the TMS reading
value different than zero you can set zero by choosing the pressure sensor from the list and
clicking “Send 0 Level” button.
• Set liquid density: only for pressure sensors. Select the pressure sensor from the Choose Sensor
list, then choose the density of the liquid you storage in the tank. Choose density from the list. If
you select Custom, then write manually value in the Custom Density box. Values with decimal
point are acceptable. Click “Send>” button to set the density in TMS.
