Flow Meter

Dispensing in Normal Mode

Normal mode is the standard

dispensing. While the count is

made, the partial and resettable total

are displayed at the same time

(reset total).

Should one of the keys be

accidentally pressed during

dispensing, this will have no effect.

A few seconds after dispensing has ended, on the

lower register, the display switches from resettable

total to general total: the word reset above the word

total disappears, and the reset total is replaced by the

general total. This situation is called standby and

remains stable until the user operates the 8424 again.

Partial Reset

The partial register can be reset by

pressing the reset key when the meter

is in standby, meaning when the

display screen shows the word

"TOTAL".

After pressing the reset key, during

reset, the display screen first of all

shows all the lit-up digits and then all

the digits that are not lit up.

At the end of the process, a display

page is first of all shown with the reset

partial and the reset total.

After a few moments, the reset total is replaced by the

non resettable Total.

Resetting the Reset Total

The reset total resetting operation can only be

performed after resetting the partial register. The reset

total can in fact be reset by pressing the reset key at length

while the display screen shows reset total as on the

following display page:

Schematically, the steps to be taken are:

1. Wait for the display to show normal

standby display page (with total

only displayed)

2. Press the reset key quickly

3. The meter starts to reset the partial

4. While the display page showing the

reset total is displayed Press the

reset key again for at least 1 second.

5. The display screen again shows all

the segments of the display

followed by all the switched-off segments and finally

shows the display page where the reset Reset Total is

shown.

Dispensing with Flow Rate Mode display

It is possible to dispense fluids,

displaying at the same time:

• The dispensed partial

• The Flow Rate in [Partial Unit/minute]

• As shown on the following display page:

Procedure for entering this mode:

• Wait for the Remote Display to go to Standby,

meaning the display screen shows Total only

• Quickly press the CAL key.

• Start dispensing

The flow rate is updated every 0.7 seconds.

Consequently, the display could be relatively unstable at

lower flow rates. The higher the flow rate, the more stable

the displayed value.

WARNING

The flow rate is measured with reference to the

unit of measurement of the Partial. For this reason,

in case the unit of measurement of the Partial

and Total being different, as in the example shown

below, it should be remembered that the indicated

flow rate relates to the unit of measurement

partial. In the example shown, the flow rate is

expressed in Qts/min.

"Gal" remaining alongside the flow

rate refers to the register of the

Totals (Reset or NON Reset) which

are again displayed when exiting

from the flow rate reading mode.

To return to "Normal" mode, press the CAL key again.
