Badger Meter Fluid Management System - Manual (Page 7)

Installation & Operation Manual
OPERATION
The Electronic Preset Meter RF3 (EPM RF3) is equipped with RF (radio frequency) communications to communicate with a
fluid management system keypad to get authorization and dispense information. This is referred to in the manual as the
RF Mode.
The meter can also be run as a standard EPM. This is referred to in the manual as the EPM Mode. This is intended for start-up
purposes or when the fluid management system is not in use.
Once a work order has been entered at the keypad, the operator simply pushes the RESET button on the meter to start
communications between the meter and the keypad. The meter receives authorization from the keypad to unlock and the
dispense batch quantity. When the trigger is pulled the preset dispense batch quantity dispenses.
The meter automatically shuts off when the dispense batch quantity has been reached.
A Topoff feature allows additional fluid to be dispensed and tracked after the batch quantity has been dispensed.
Upon completion of the dispense, the operator presses the RESET button. The meter then locks, prohibiting any unauthorized
dispense of fluid to occur, and the dispense quantity is sent to the keypad.
