Sotera FR1118-P10 - Manual

1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 Technical Data
1.1.1 The turbine digital meter is designed for use with the
following low viscosity fluids:
- Water
- Disel exhaust fluid (DEF)
WARNING!
Use of other fluids may be inaccurate and can damage the meter!
1.1.2 Flow Rate: 3-26GPM, flow rates outside of this range
may have reduced accuracy.
1.1.3 Operating pressure: 4.8BAR/70PSI
1.1.4 Inlet/Outlet: 1”
IMPORTANT!
Not suitable for retail sale of diesel exhaust fluid !
1.2 LCD DISPLAY
The meter display features two numerical registers and
several function or status indicators.
Fig. 1
1.3 USER BUTTONS
The face of the turbine digital meter has two buttons (MENU
and RESET) which individually perform two main functions and
together, other secondary functions.
The main functions performed are:
For the reset key, resetting the partial Register and reset
table total (reset total)
For the menu key, entering instrument calibration mode.
Used together, the two keys permit entering configuration mode.
1.4 BATTERY REPLACEMENT
The battery in your in-line digital meter is not replaceable. To
minimize the possibility of fire or explosion, it is a sealed unit
that does not allow for user replacement. Do not attempt to
open or replace the battery in your meter.
2. INSTALLATION
The inlet and outlet for this meter is 1 ″BSP/NPT. It can be
easily connected with the pipe or nozzle.

Wait for the meter to go into standby
(blank screen).
With the meter in stand-by mode,
reset the resettable total by
pressing the “RESET” button.
Press and hold the MENU key until
the first digit in the display begins
to flash (approximately 5 seconds).
The meter is in calibration mode.
Press the RESET key to choose the
right digit from 0 to 9. Press the
MENU key to start the next digit.
So the digit of correction factor
can be changed one by one.
Make sure the correction factor is
right, press the MENU key. Keep it
pressed until quit calibration mode,
the factor is saved. The meter goes
to standby again.

Wait for the meter to go to standby.
Reset the resettable total.
Start dispensing into a measuring
glass.
Stop dispensing when 5 Litres of
volume is reached, read out the
actual value. The volume that is
displayed on the LCD is the Display
Value, not the Actual Value which
may be slightly higher. For example,
in the figure on the right, the Display
Value is 18.96 while the Actual
Value is 20.75.
Press the MENU key. Keep it pressed
until showed as the right fig., the digit
flash in
① zone, Press the RESET
key to choose the right digit from
0 to 9. Press the MENU key to go
the the next digit so that the Actual
Value can be input.
Make sure the correction factor is
right and then press the MENU key.
Keep it pressed until calibration is
finished and the factor is saved. The
meter will then return to standby.

Problem
LCD: no indication
Imprecise
measurement
Reduced or zero
flow rate
The meter does
not count, but

correct
Possible Cause
Bad battery contact
Wrong FACTOR
The meter works
below minimum
acceptable flow rate
Turbine blocked
Incorrect installation
of turbine after
cleaning
Possible electronic
card problems
Corrective Action
Check battery contacts
With reference to
paragraph 3.3 & 3.4,
check the FACTOR
Increase the flow rate
until an acceptable
flow rate range has
been achieved
Clean the turbine.
Repeat the reassembly
process.

3.1 BUTTON USAGE, CALIBRATION AND MEASUREMENT
UNIT CHANGE
• Reset the present total (See Fig. 2)
1) When the meter is in standby mode, press the RESET key.
2) The display shows all the segments at once.
3) The meter resets to display “0” on the resettable totalizer.
Fig. 2
• Show current correction factor and general total
(See Fig. 3)
Press MENU and RESET together and hold for two seconds.
Value “1.4000” is the correction factor which can be reset;
“1234567” is the general total which cannot be reset.

• Measurement unit change (See Fig. 4)
Press MENU and RESET together and hold for five seconds.
Zone 7 on the display is the current unit. Press RESET to
chose a different measurement unit and then press MENU to
confirm.

3.2 RESET THE RESETTABLE TOTALIZER (SEE FIG. 5)
When the meter is in standby, press the RESET key for 2
seconds to reset the totalizer.

3.3 Calibration Procedure (Using the Correction Factor)
Carefully follow the procedure indicated below.
FORMULA
Proper correction factor =
current correction factor× (actual value / display value)
Example:
Actual value 20.75 Display value 18.96
Current correction factor 1.000
Proper correction factor
1.000Ч(20.75/18.96)=1.000Ч1.094=1.094
