Operating instructions digital oval gear meter G
1.2.3 Measuring chamber
The measuring chamber is located in the centre of the meter.
In the measurement chamber there is an oval gear mechanism which rotates and results in electric
pulses being produced. These are then processed by the microprocessor on the electronic circuit
board.
The microprocessor uses a calibration factor (i.e. a ‚weighting‘ assigned to each pulse) to convert the
pulses generated by the gears‘ revolutions into an intelligible value representing the volume of liquid
that has passed through. It is then displayed in the unit pre-set before in the corresponding registers of
the LCD display for partial and total volumes, respectively.
All our oval gear meters leave the factory with a default calibration factor = 1000 called „FACTORY
K FACTOR“. There is a possibility to ‚calibrate‘ the meter in order to adapt that factor to the physical
properties of dierent liquids.
However, there is always a possibility to return to the manufacturer‘s default setting.
1.2.4 Battery compartment
The meter is powered by two 1.5V standard batteries (N1).
The battery compartment is located within the meter housing. The housing lid must be removed in order
to replace the batteries.
