Safety instructions Designed use This unit is designed for acquisition, calculation, displaying and sending datas. Resulting from incorrect use or from use other than that de- signated, can suspend the operational safety of the devices. The manufacturer accepts no liability for damages being produced from this. Installation, commissioning and operation Installation, connection to the electricity supply, commissioning and maintenance of the device must be carried out by trained, qualified spe- cialists authorised to perform such works.
Configuration overview Schematic of a configuration Tank Engine Mechanical injection pump Fine filter Preliminary Pump filter Fleet Manager Battery The 2 sensor meter are just an example. They can be changed with a compact one. Installation Advices • The sensors have to be always protected by a fuel filter. The max. mesh size depends on the sensor size. The original truck filter is ide- al for all sensor sizes.
How connect the... Before you start with the electrical connection of the system, you must have done a correct installation of the delive- red components. This installation must be done by an authorized and certified company/person. Please be aware: an incorrect installation may destroy the DFM-System and damage your vehicle. In this case, Aqua- metro will deny all responsibilities.
11. Set the <SL KF> and the <SL app>. a. Starting from the previous position, press many time the down-arrow, until you reach the menu point “Supply configuration”. b. Press <OK> at the menu point “SL KF”. Enter the value for the <SL KF> using the arrow keys. This value is prin- ted on the type plate of the flow meter.

Return-Line Sensor DFM-Sensor - cable colors DFM-BC - positions on the connector Black Brown Yellow Green Not used White Not used 5. To ensure a proper function, the cable, described in the procedure below, must be connected direct to the vehicle battery.
13. Set the time a. Move with the down-arrow key to the line “Time”. b. On the line “Time”, press <OK>. Modify the time by using the down-arrow or the up-arrow. Move from left to right with the <OK> key and from right to left with the <ESC> key. c.
9. Input Value and Output Value Change the “Input Value” by doing the following: a. Press the down-arrow b. On the “Input” line press <OK> c. The field “Input xxxx.x ml” will by highlighted. d. Press the down-arrow or the up-arrow to adjust the “Input Value” according to the table “Sensor Type” e.
1. With the DFM-BC in front of you, open the side-wings of the box and unscrew the 4 screws. Put the upper part of the DFM-System gently by side. Be CAREFULL. The upper part is connected to the base part with a flat cable. 2.
Setting of the DFM-BC Start with the settings of the DFM-BC by doing the following: 1. Take the DFM-BC. If it is off, press one of the 4 Keys on the front to reactivate it. Go to the menu point <Service>. Press <OK> and enter the Service-Code Standard service code is: 1111 2.
9. Go to the <Supply Configuration> a. Check the <SL KF>. Is it the right one? b. If not, go back to the section <How to connect …> and take the appropriate corrections. 10. Go to the <Return Configuration> a. Check the <RL KF>. Is it the right one? b.
Consumption This picture shows the current consumption of the Engine in l/h. Previous screen Next screen The next two screens (Info Mode and Service Mode) are explained in the section For Managers and For Service People. Display Test Press OK to start the Display test. Previous screen Next screen This will start the Display test.
Supply Line (information about Total, TRIP, Current l/h, Op. Hours) Total: amount of liter that has flew through this sensor since the commissioning TRIP: amount of liter since the last reset (it functions like a daily counter) Current: actually flow rate in l/h Op.
Config Log Entry The DFM-BC has the ability to store all configuration changes which happened. If the allowed entries are exceeded, the oldest one will be deleted. This screen shows you, when the last configuration change was recorded. Press OK to enter the Config Log. Config Log This screen shows you, with data and time stamp, the last stored configuration change in a readable way.
Entering the Service Mode Press OK to enter the Service mode Entry Code After entering the Service Mode, a code is requested Enter the 4 digit code and press OK Use the arrow key to change values. • The standard service code is: 1111. •...
Supply Line (Total, TRIP, Current) Move the bar over the line you would like to change parameters. Press OK. The changeable field will be highlighted for changing. This action will be followed by security questions. Answer the question with YES or NO until the value will be changed. Total: Reset of the total amount of the fuel which is passed through the supply line since commissio- ning.
Error Log Entry Press OK to enter the error log Read the stored Error Messages (Error Log) With the arrow and the arrow you can scroll through the messages Each message has a data and time stamp. After the last message is reached the first message will be showed.
Factory data No changes are possible. The displayed information is needed for updates or internal use. Error condition Error Messages If an error has occurred and it has consequence for the following digital readouts Total or TRIP or the Consumption than the Board Computer (DFM-BC) will show the following on the display: ...and after 5 seconds...
Description of the Error Messages In any case, if an error occurs look at the Error Log to define what exactly happened and at what time. To check the installation is also a recommended approach for founding faults. The following messages will be displayed if an error occurs: S>0 &R=0 Supply line Sensor has a flow rate.
Higher Performance Results (with application optimization) High Performance Results means, to adapt the system to the different condition you can face during your daily work. This can be: 1. High ambient temperatures. 2. Low ambient temperatures. 3. Different temperatures between supply line and return line of the fuel system. 4.
Electrical Connections and Specifications For the DFM-8D Explanation of the wires: Black Input voltage 12-24 VDC from the DFM-BC or from another source. If you use another source, make sure the voltage is stable and filtered Brown Ground (take the same ground like the 12-24 VDC source). Yellow “Supply Line Right”...

Pin 11: Signal for the external device Connect here the Analog/Digital cable from the Fleet-Manager or GPS-Tracking-System. Attention: the signal is a pull down transistor, that means, whenever a signal should be generated, this line will go to ground (Open Drain). Pin 12: Ground for the external device.
