A. General A. General The flow meter operates according to the positive displacement principle. In a housing fitted with inlet and outlet is a measuring chamber through which the fluid is forced to flow on its way through the housing. In the measuring chamber, a nutating disc blocks the fluid‘s clear path.
A. General 1. Hazard The modular flow meter system is developed and built in compliance with the relevant fundamental health- and safety requirements and important EC Directives. Nevertheless, this product can cause danger if it is not used as advised. In case of maloperation or improper use guarantee is excluded and there is danger for •...
The metering of non-compatible liquids damages the flow meter. Splashing liquid or flying parts 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 basic flow meter is suitable for the delivered liquid.

C. Operating unit 3.1.4 Key lock in manual mode Avoiding maloperations – as inadvertent calibration – all keys, except RESET, SPEED and TOT can be locked. Operation Display The key lock appears in the display L. The key lock also remains if there is no power supply (battery). Releasing the key lock, press the key RESET and repeat the combination above.
C. Operating unit 3.2.2 Entering the filling volume Operation Display Enter filling volume e.g. 50 LITRES The entered filling volume flashes Complete the input by pressing the ENTER key. To correct the filling volume, the input must have been completed (by pressing ENTER). It is then possible to enter a new filling volume. 3.2.3 Starting the filling process Operation Display...
C. Operating unit 3.2.5 Correcting the filling process During the filling process, it is possible to correct the filling volume.

C. Operating unit Operation Display The entered filling volume flashes The correction process is only successful if the new filling volume is greater than the volume which has already been transported. 3.2.6 Stopping filling process Operation Display It is possible to make a new input (see chapter C 3.2.2) or to repeat the current filling volume using the RESET key (3).
C. Operating unit 3.2.8 Cycle counter The cycle counter registers the number of filling cycles with the same volume filled. This means that the user does not have to count the cycles, e.g. when 100 containers have to be filled with the same volume. The cycle counter starts at zero again when a new filling volume is entered.
C. Operating unit Operation Display Enter slow volume, e.g. 1 litre (for deleting enter 0) If the SLOW volume is greater than the intended filling volume, the main valve remains closed during the entire filling process. Only possible in the automatic mode 3.2.9.2 Displaying the SLOW volume Operation Display...
C. Operating unit 3.2.10 System protection through detection of faults The filling process can be controlled automatically by the flow meter, since faults may develop in the connecting lines, such as running dry, blockages, defective solenoid valves, etc. When the START key is pressed, the flow meter monitors the time during which no liquid is registered. The flow meter switches off when a certain time limit is exceeded.
C. Operating unit Operation Display The new monitoring time flashes 3.2.11 Locking function automatic mode The locking function in automatic mode makes it impossible to change over to manual mode and prevents inadvertent input of a new filling volume. This helps to prevent operator errors when filling always the same volumes.
