Page 2: Safety
1 Safety 1.1 Intended Use The device CONTOIL ® fuel oil meter is designed and solely intended for for the flow measurement of Diesel oil to Heavy Fuel Oil according to ISO 8217-2010. Improper or non-intended use of the device may compromise operational reliability of the device. The manufacturer accepts no liability for any resulting personal injury or material damage. -
Page 3: Safety Rules And Precautions
1.3 Safety rules and precautions The manufacturer accepts no responsibility if the following safety rules and precautions are disregarded: Any modifications of the device implemented without the prior written consent of the manufacturer will result in the immediate termination of product liability and warranty. Installation, operation, maintenance and decommissioning of this device must be carried out by trained, qualified specialists, authorised by the manufacturer, operator or owner of the facility. -
Page 4: Product Description
2 Product description Thank you for purchasing this high-quality Product. 2.1 Flow meter configuration The CONTOIL ® flow meters consist of a hydraulic part, a coupling with temperature sensor included and an electronic display unit. The hydraulic part determines the nominal size of the flow meter. The flow meters are calibrated before they leave the factory. -

Do you have a question about the CONTOIL VZF II and is the answer not in the manual?
Questions and answers
Alarm massege
The alarm messages for the Aquametro Oil & Marine CONTOIL VZF II indicate specific conditions detected by the electronic module during its self-test, which occurs approximately every 5 minutes. When an alarm condition is detected, the [ALARM] message appears on the display every 2 seconds. Some alarm messages include:
- [nO ALmS]: No active alarm. Action: None.
- [A-SEnSSI]: Alarm when sensor simulation is activated (for service technicians only). Action: None.
- [A-o1 SI]: Alarm when output 1 simulation is activated. Action: Turn off when no longer needed.
- [A-o2 SI]: Alarm when output 2 simulation is activated. Action: Turn off when no longer needed.
- [A-ANA SI]: Alarm when Analog current loop output simulation is activated. Action: Turn off when no longer needed.
The alarms indicate specific system conditions, such as active simulations, and require appropriate actions like disabling simulations when they are no longer needed.
