Duties of the operator Safety-conscious working • Operate the flow meter only in a technically sound state, for its proper use, and conscious of safety and hazards taking into account these instructions. • Ensure observance and monitoring of: - Proper use - Statutory or other safety and accident prevention regulations - Safety provisions in handling hazardous substances - Valid standards and guidelines in the respective country of operation •...
DANGER The metering of non-compatible liquids damages the flow meter. Splashing liquid can cause injury. Check by means of the materials indicated in the technical data and a resistance table (e. g. Lutz resistance table) whether the flow meter is suitable for the delivered liquid. DANGER Fire and explosion hazard due to delivered liquid! Combustion hazard.
2.2.3 Prevention of obvious misapplication (examples) WARNING Equipment misuse can cause the meter to rupture or malfunction and cause serious injury. • Do not use for pumping flammable liquids. • Do not operate the flow meter in explosion hazard area. • Do not leave the equipment unattendedly while dispensing. • Check equipment daily. Repair or replace worn or damaged parts immediately. • Use only fluids and solvents that are compatible with the equipment. Read all fluid and solvent manufacturer's warnings.
3.2 Display LCD display with - Four-digit volume display with digits measuring 17 mm in height for current dispensation - Seven-digit display with digits measuring 6 mm in height for totalizers - Display in liter units (optional: GAL, PTS, QTS) and flow rate (l/min) - Low battery alert on display. Minimum digital step of the measured value is 0.01 litres, minimum digital step of non-resettable totalizer is 1 litre.
5. Assembly 5.1 General Before assembly all parts have to be checked for particles of packing material. The flow meter TR3 possesses G1 external threads on both sides which allow it to be installed in any pipe. When doing so, please ensure that the meter is not under mechanical stress due to tension/ pressure or bending. To avoid this, an elastic equalizing element is to be used, and the lines are to be supported in a suitable manner.
5.3 Assembly with drum pump connection G1 1/4 Before assembly all parts have to be checked for particles of packing material. 1. Push the wing nut (1) onto the threaded nipple (2) (→ Fig. 3) 2. Screw the threaded nipple (2) into the threaded sleeve (3) 3.
5.4 Assembly at nozzle PP/PVDF with standard hose connector and hose connector twistable Before assembly all parts have to be checked for particles of packing material. 1. Push the wing nut (1) onto the threaded nipple (2) (→ Fig. 4) 2.
5.5 Rotating the display The display of the flow meter TR3 (1) can be mounted both vertically as well as horizontally in order to allow the meter to be read off comfortably (→ Fig. 5). To turn the display, the four screws (2) on the top side are loosened and the display is pulled upwards. The display can now be replaced in any desired orientation.
6.1 Description of display The display is divided into various areas (→ Fig. 7) 1. Four-digit partial volume display with floating point, values range from 0.00 to 9999 2. Battery symbol 3. Indicates partial volume totalizer (TOTAL 1 – TOTAL 8) or total volume totalizer (TOTAL) 4.
6.2.2 No active dispensation The partial volume for the last dispensation as well as the current value for the selected totalizer are shown on the display. The following key combinations are possible: "Light" key: The display illumination is turned on for 15 seconds. "Reset"...
7. Programming the meter The device allows the unit of measurement (liters, US gallons, US quarts, US pints, imperial gallons, imperial quarts, imperial pints) to be selected, the basic selection of the medium characteristic curve (watery media, thin mineral oils) to be performed, as well as a calibration to be performed to optimize measurement accuracy.
7.3 Setting the meter type The flow meter TR3 meter is configured with two optimized characteristic curves for the measuring chamber made of PP and measuring chamber PVDF. One of these two characteristic curves can be chosen. "Reset" key: Switches between the characteristic curves for the measuring chamber PP and measuring chamber PVDF.
7.4.2 Calibration with measuring vessel One easy way to perform a calibration is by performing a comparison using a sufficiently large and precise measuring vessel. Proceed as follows: 1. Meter is in dispensation mode, partial volume counter has been deleted. 2. The dispensation is carried out at a flow speed that is as constant as possible until the measuring vessel is filled to the defined volume. 3. Switch to programming mode, sub-menu "Calibration" (skip volume unit and fluid menus with the "Mode" key). 4. Adjust the calibration factor until the quantity displayed corresponds to the quantity dispensed into the measuring vessel.
8. Maintenance 8.1 Cleaning the flow meter In case of dirt or stains on the exterior of the device, clean it carefully using a damp cloth and mild cleaning agent. Do not use any aggressive (e.g. abrasive, chlorine-containing) cleaning agents or solvents.
9. Error messages – What do I do when...? ...the battery symbol appears on the display? Change the batteries. (→ chapter 8.2) ...nothing appears on the display? Ensure that the batteries have been placed in the correct orientation and the battery cable has been connected to the control circuit board.
