The Lincoln Electronic Lube Meter, Model 905 Series "C", is a lightweight, rugged, and comfortable-to-grip device designed for metering and dispensing bulk fluids in various service applications. It is specifically engineered for use in fleet maintenance shops, industrial assembly, quick lube facilities, dealerships, construction and mining equipment, general automotive service centers, and specialty service and repair shops.

Function Description:

The EPM (Electronic Preset Meter) is primarily used for dispensing and measuring fluids. It can be programmed to dispense in quarts, liters, pints, and gallons, with batch sizes adjustable in seconds. A 5-digit liquid crystal display (LCD) shows the exact amount of fluid dispensed, accurate to the second decimal point. The meter features an automatic non-drip nozzle with a manual shut-off, ensuring precise control over fluid delivery. It also includes an emergency override function to immediately stop fluid flow in case of an emergency or to interrupt a batch. The meter's oval gear-driven mechanism contributes to its accuracy.

The 905SF model is specifically designed to dispense anti-freeze (Ethylene Glycol), windshield wiper fluid solution, and brake fluid. However, a warning on page 4 explicitly states that the meter is designed specifically to dispense petroleum products and should not be used for windshield wiper fluid, brake fluid, or water-based solutions, which contradicts the initial description of the 905SF. This discrepancy should be noted.

Usage Features:

Manual Mode: Operates as a free-flow dispensing handle. The display shows the dispensed amount, and flow stops when the trigger is released. The RESET button clears the counter display to zero.
Auto Batch Mode: Allows programming a specific batch size. The AUTO icon appears, and the batch quantity is shown on the LCD. Batch size can be adjusted using the 10, 1, and 0.1 buttons for increments of 10, 1, and 0.1 units respectively. When the trigger is pulled, the solenoid valve locks in the full open position, and flow automatically shuts off after the preset batch quantity is dispensed. After a batch, the meter functions as a free-flow handle until the RESET button is pressed for the next batch.
Re-settable/Accumulated Totals: The meter has two flow totalizers: a re-settable total and an accumulated total. The TOTAL button displays the accumulated total, and holding it for three seconds shows the re-settable total. The re-settable total can be reset to zero by pressing the RESET button while viewing it. The accumulated total cannot be reset unless the unit of measure is changed between English and metric.
Emergency Override: A red button on the meter activates an emergency override, immediately closing the valve and stopping fluid flow. Batching can resume by pulling the trigger.
Unit of Measure: Users can change the unit of measure between PT, QT, GAL, and L. When Liters is selected, the decimal point can be toggled between a period and a comma.
Scale Factor Calibration: The meter is factory-calibrated for 10W motor oil. The scale factor can be adjusted in the field to compensate for different fluid viscosities, which may cause fluid to slip past the meter gears without being detected. The scale factor is a number that the meter multiplies each pulse by to correct accuracy. Changing the scale factor can be done through a programming mode, allowing adjustment of five digits.
Low Battery Indicator: A low battery icon appears in the lower left corner of the display when batteries are low. If the icon flashes, battery power is too low, and meter functions are disabled.
Low Battery Safety Lock Out Feature: Disables meter functions when battery power is critically low.
In-Line Swivel: Standard with all meters.
Precision Control Valve Operation.

Maintenance Features:

Battery Replacement: The meter uses 4 AA alkaline batteries, located in a compartment on the underside of the trigger guard. Replacing batteries does not affect programmed values or totals.
Field Recalibration: The meter can be easily recalibrated in the field to maintain accuracy.
Flushing Procedure: Instructions are provided for flushing the system, especially for new installations or if fluid lines are contaminated, to ensure cleanliness before installing the meter(s).
System Grounding: Emphasizes the importance of grounding all system components (pump, hoses, air compressor, fluid supply container) according to local, state, and federal codes to prevent static electricity and potential explosions/fires.
Pressure Relief Procedures: Detailed steps are provided to relieve system pressure before maintenance or service to prevent injury from fluid spray.
Troubleshooting Guide: A table lists common symptoms (e.g., battery icon displayed, display blank, meter not latching for batching, slow flow, inaccurate meter) and their possible causes and remedies.

Important Warnings and Cautions:

Explosion and Fire Hazards: Improper grounding, poor ventilation, open flames, or sparks can cause explosions or fires. Users must ensure proper grounding, ventilation, and avoid smoking or debris near flammable fluids.
Meter Hazards: Equipment misuse can cause rupture or malfunction. The meter is for professional use only. Users must read all instructions, not modify the equipment, not leave it unattended, check daily for damage, not exceed maximum working pressure, use only designed extensions/nozzles, use compatible fluids, tighten all connections, not stop leaks with hands, not dispense towards people, not place hands near the dispense valve, and comply with all regulations.
Fluid Compatibility: The meter is designed for petroleum products. Using it for windshield wiper fluid, brake fluid, or water-based solutions is explicitly warned against (despite the 905SF description).
Scale Factor Accuracy: Changing the scale factor alters meter accuracy, potentially leading to overfill or underfill and mechanical breakdown.
Totalizer Reset: Changing the unit of measurement between metric and English clears both the re-settable and accumulated totals.
Meter Lock: The meter always locks in the maximum open position during auto-batch.
