Safety Instructions
To ensure safe and ecient operation, it is essential to read each of
these warnings and precautions, and to follow all instructions listed in
this manual.
DANGER
Improper use or installation of this product can
cause serious bodily injury or death.
1.
DO NOT smoke near meter or use meter near an open ame when
dispensing ammable uids. Fire could result.
2.
Do not exceed 50 PSI / 3.5 BARS line pressure.
CAUTION
Do not install additional foot valve or check valve
during installation without pressure relief valve.
Cracking may result.
3.
This product should not be used for uid transfer into aircraft.
4.
This product is not suited for use with uids for human
consumption, including potable water.
Installation
Meters are furnished for horizontal piping, left to right ow, unless
otherwise specied. Use oil and gasoline resistant pipe compound on
all threaded joints. Flow ports can be located in any of four positions for
horizontal or vertical piping.
1.
If uid ow is left to right, install meter.
2.
If uid ow is other than left to right, determine direction of uid ow.
3.
Lay meter dial face down on a clean at surface.
4.
Arrow mark on meter housing indicates uid ow direction.
5.
Remove four screws (item 20).
6.
Lift meter housing (item 19) and chamber assembly (item 26)
and rotate together to desired ow direction.
CAUTION
Chamber opening must face towards inlet port
of meter.
7.
Replace four screws (item 20).
8.
Install meter.
Calibration
The Fill-Rite Series 800C meters can be calibrated for either U.S. gallons
or liters. Calibration is required after disassembly, when metering a
dierent uid, or after signicant wear. Depending on the model, Series
800C meters are factory calibrated in either U.S. gallons or liters using
mineral spirits.
Meter calibration can be easily changed by using the calibration
procedure noted. A container of KNOWN volume will be needed for the
calibration procedure. It is recommended that the container's volume
be at least ve gallons or larger.

SERIES 800C METER
INSTALLATION AND OPERATION MANUAL
Procedure for Calibration
1.
For the most accurate calibration, install the meter in the
application. Fill a container to a known volume with the liquid to
be measured.
2.
If indicated amount does not match known volume, insure pump
is o and pressure relieved, then remove seal screw (item 23)
and turn calibration screw (item 21) counterclockwise to reduce
indicated amount or clockwise to increase the amount. A full
turn will change the indicated amount by approximately
0.1 Gal. (0.4L). Reinstall seal screw.
3.
Repeat step 1 and 2 until calibration is acceptable.
Operating Instructions
For accurate measurement, meter and piping must always be lled with
liquid and free of air. Meter should be calibrated per instructions in this
manual prior to its use.
1.
Stop ow of liquid.
2.
Reset meter to "0".
3.
Meter is ready for use. Start ow of liquid. Do not exceed 50 PSI
line pressure.
Maintenance
Meter should operate maintenance free. However, certain liquids can dry
out while in the meter housing, causing the meter to stop. If this happens,
meter should be thoroughly cleaned (see instructions below).
Cleaning Instructions:
Run a ushing uid through meter. For a more thorough cleaning,
disassemble meter per "ASSEMBLY / DISASSEMBLY" section,
"Meter Chamber Assembly" subsection. Rinse all meter components.
Recalibrate meter following calibration instructions above.
Storage:
If meter is to be stored for a period of time, clean thoroughly.
This will help protect meter from damage.
Troubleshooting Guide
Counter is reading high or low:
Check calibration and recalibrate if necessary. Check for air in product
and repair air leaks. Measuring chamber or gears could be sticking.
Correct by cleaning or replacing internal metering components.
Shaft seal leakage:
Possible causes are dirty or damaged seals. Correct by cleaning o-ring
and seat area or replacing seal.
Gasket leakage:
Correct loose gasket by tightening joints. Clean dirty gaskets and seat
area. Replace damaged gaskets.
Low ow capacity:
Clean clogged meter chamber; clean or replace screens and lters in piping.
Meter body cracks:
Install pressure relief valve to allow high pressure to bleed back to tank.
Nutating disc breaks:
Avoid ow surge by putting shut-o valve on outlet of meter; place meter
as close as possible to pump; keep piping full of liquid.
