The GPI quality Positive displacement flowmeter has
incorporated the oval rotor principal into its design. This has
proven to be a highly reliable and highly
accurate method of measuring flow, pr oviding exceptional
repeatability and high accuracy.
This meter is designed for in line use with Engine Oil & A TF
up to a maximum viscosity of SAE 140, Diesel & Water Glycol mixtures with a maximum water content of less than 50%.
Please read and retain this instruction manual to
assist you in the operation and maintenance of this
quality product.
GENERAL INFORMA TION
This manual assists you in operating and maintaining your
new positive displacement flowmeter. The information
contained will help you ensure many years of dependable
performance and trouble free operation.
Please take a few moments to read through this manual before
installing and operating your new meter. If you experience
problems with this product, refer to the Maintenance and
Trouble Shooting sections of this manual. If you require
further assistance please contact your local GPI
Distributor.
IMPORTANT INFORMA TION
GPI recommends, that if you are using your meter as an inline application you should install a filter
before the inlet of the meter. Contact your local GPI distributor
for further details.

SLEEP MODE
If NO flow goes through the meter for 60 seconds the display
will go into sleep mode (Blank). The display will
automatically wake if the buttons are pressed or flow occurrs.
BA TTERY REPLACEMENT
All data will be saved when the batteries are removed.
The Rotor with Magnets
( fig 2)
Note: Replace the batteries as soon as the battery
indicator on the LCD is displayed
-
+
1) Remove the plastic protector shroud from the meter
body. (fig 1)
2) Remove the battery cover.
3) Replace the 2 x (AAA) Alkaline batteries. (Refer to the
front of the meter for correct battery orientation).
4) Replace the battery cover and re-fit the plastic shroud.
Note: Only use Alkaline batteries.
Protector Shroud
(fig 1)
CAUTION
4) Install the 8 screws (1) and tighten in a diagonal pattern to
1nm (0.73 ft.lb). Visual check the cap has been pulled down
evenly.
5) Test the meter by turning the rotors with a finger or by
applying low air pressure (No more than a good breath)
to the inlet port of the meter. This will confirm the meter
is operating correctly .

Ensure the fluid supply to the meter is disconnected and
the line pressure is released befor e disassembly.
METER DISASSEMBLY
Note: The electronic computer module is non-repairable. The
meter will need to be replaced if found to be damaged or faulty.
1) Remove the 8 x philips head screws (1) from the meter
cover.
2) Remove the meter cover (2) and o’ring (3).
3) Remove both rotors (4).
4) Clean and inspect all parts. Replace any suspect, worn or
damaged components.
METER REASSEMBLY
NOTE: Ensure the rotor with the magnets is assembled on
the same side as the batteries. The magnets in the rotor must
face towards the electronic display .
1) Replace both rotors (4) so as they are at 90Oto each other.
(see fig 2). Check the rotor rotation by turning either of the
rotors. If the rotors are not in mesh correctly or do not
rotate freely remove one of the rotors and replace it
correctly at 900 to the other rotor. Re-check the operation of
the rotors.
2) Lightly grease the o’ring (3) and place it on the meter body.
3) Clean the meter cover plate (2) and place it on the body.
T ake care not to damage the o’ring (3).
