OPERATING MODE
TRIP FUNCTION
The meter is fitted with a "Trip" meter which shows the accumulated
fluid volume released since the last "reset".
This function enables recording the register of the fluid volume
released from a barrel or tank. Set the "Trip" meter to zero when
starting a new barrel or tank and then perform the individual
transactions with the partial meter. The partial meter can be reset
since this will not affect the "Trip" meter. Thus in the "Trip" meter
the volume released will be kept for all transactions since the last
reset and the remaining volume in the barrel or tank can be
ascertained.
When the meter is in normal status (partial meter) (fig. 7), the "Trip"
meter can be shown by pressing the TOTAL/TRIP button (fig. 8).
The "Trip" meter (fig. 9) can be set to zero. To do so, keep the
RESET button for a while when in "Trip" mode.
The units shown in the "Trip" meter will be the same as for those
selected for the partial meter.

CALIBRATION
The meter is calibrated in the factory and does not normally require
calibration for the oils generally used in workshops. Nevertheless,
if using fluids with high or low viscosity, as well as if working with
high flows or very low flows, calibration may be required.
Calibration may be required after having used the meter for a long
time, especially if working with fluids with dirty residues.
Verify the precision of the meter prior to use and proceed with
calibration if required.
In order to perform the calibration process correctly the following
rules must be adhered to:
1. The calibration can be performed for any volume, however it is
recommended for a minimum of 1 litre. As a maximum 25 litres
can be used.

To return to normal mode (partial meter), press the TOTAL/TRIP
button twice in a row.
Total meter
• The meter is fitted with a Total meter which shows the
accumulated the fluid volume released since the meter was put
into operation for the first time. The Total meter cannot be reset.
• When the meter is in normal status (partial meter) (fig. 10), the
Total meter (fig. 13) can be shown by pressing the TOTAL/TRIP
button (fig. 11) twice in a row.
• It is enough to press the TOTAL/TRIP button again (fig. 12) to
return to the partial meter mode (fig. 10).
• The total meter does not take into account the quantities
released during the calibration process.
• The changes in the calibration factor do not affect the value
stored in the total meter.
Automatic meter reset
Both the partial meter and the total meter are reset to zero when
reaching the value 99999.

2. The container used must be calibrated and be completely
empty (prior use of the container can easily leave behind 0.1 l
even if it seems empty). Put the container upside down for a
while, or clean it before starting the calibration process.
If you would like a truly accurate calibration, you must use
precision scales and know the density of the fluid. With the
density data the volume to be released is converted (ahem.: 1,
2, 3 ... litres) to mass units.
3. When the fluid is being released you must wait until all the air
contained in it is eliminated. This can take some time. If
precision scales are used the accumulation of air has no effect.
