INTRODUCTION

The Q09 display is specically
designed to operate with the
electronics housed within the cover
plate. The display is mounted on a
specialized cover plate containing
other electronics and together they
make up the total Q09 electronics
package. The electronics in the
cover plate (QSB [not available
as adapter kit]) or (QSI1, QSI2 or
QSI3) when externally powered,
provides correctly adjusted power
to the display via a 10 pin bridge
connector. Information on the
operation, capabilities and wiring of
the electronics within the cover plate
that is mated to your Q09 display
is contained in its own dedicated
manual (QSB, QSI1, QSI2, QSI3).

920896-03 Rev B03/2018

The display microprocessor
electronics have extremely low power
requirements and high data retention
capabilities in both RAM and ROM.
Information is clearly displayed on
a large 6-digit LCD readout with
two-point oating decimal for totals
from .01 to 999,999. All operations
are easily accessed with the two
buttons on the front panel.

The Q09 display is available mounted
to the meter you ordered or as a
kit that adapts the electronics to
other GPI meters. The electronics
inside the cover plate converts
the voltage (or pulses) from the
meter into usable information. This
information, along with power, is
supplied to the display that translates
the information into calibrated ow
units shown on the display’s readout.

The display is a precision measuring
instrument and should be handled
as such. Refer to the Specications
Section to conrm required features.

IMPORTANT NOTICE

Q09 displays are very sensitive to
electric noise if operated within 6
inches of some electric motors,
relays, transformers or other
sources of electronic noise.

If the Q09 Display is used in
a manner not specied by the
manufacturer, the protection provided
by the equipment may be impaired.

SAFETY

• This product is not approved
for use in hazardous locations.

• Be sure O-rings and seals
are kept in good repair.

• When applying power, adhere to
specications in this manual.

• Disconnect external power
before attaching or detaching
input or output wires.

WARNING: Product should
never be operated outside its
published specications for
temperature or pressure. See
specications for your model.

CAUTION: Installation near
high electromagnetic elds
and high current elds is not
recommended and may result
in inaccurate readings.

INSTALLATION

If you ordered your Q09 display
with a meter, it is installed at the
factory. If you ordered your Q09
display separately from a meter (i.e.
repair part), follow the instructions
below to install on a QSE meter. If
you ordered your Q09 display with
one of our several types of meter
adapter kits, follow the separate
instructions enclosed with the kit to
install the unit. In every case, please
review and thoroughly understand
all manuals and installation
instructions before proceeding.

• Make sure the seal is seated
in its groove on the bottom of
the display (see Figure 1).

• Insert the long pins of the
10 pin bridge connector
about half-way into the 10
pin PC board connector.

• Then, align the 10 pin connector
on the display with the short pins
on the 10 pin bridge connector
and engage pins using gentle
force until the display is seated
on the cover plate (see Figure 2).

the four screws at the corners
of the faceplate. Make sure
the seal is fully seated before
tightening the screws.

COVER PLATE
SEAL

QSE meters are designed to
measure ow in only one direction.
If the display is upside down in
your installation, remove the six
screws retaining the cover plate to
the meter, turn the cover plate with
display as required and reinstall the
screws. A ribbon cable connects the
electronics within the cover plate to
electronics within the meter body
and allows 180 degrees of movement
in either direction. Make sure the
cover plate seal is fully seated before
tightening the screws (see Figure 3).

DISPLAY

OPERATION

When uid is owing through
the meter, a small propeller
icon is highlighted.

All operations are reected in the
LCD readout. The large center
digits indicate amounts, where
smaller words or “icons” located
above and below indicate specic
information regarding totals, ow,
calibration and units of measure.

Activate the Meter: When power is
supplied to the meter, the display
automatically becomes active, is
on continuously and always ready
to perform. It remains active until
meter power is disconnected.

BATCH AND CUMULATIVE TOTALS

The display maintains two totals.
The Cumulative Total provides
continuous measurement and
cannot be manually reset. The Batch
Total can be reset to measure ow
during a single use. The Cumulative
Total is labeled TOTAL 1, Batch
Total is labeled TOTAL 2 BATCH.

When the Cumulative Total reaches
a display reading of 999,999 the
display will highlight an X10 icon.
This indicates to the operator that a
zero must be added to the 6 digits
shown. When the next rollover
occurs, the display will highlight
an X100 icon. This indicates to
the operator that two zeros must
be added to the 6 digits shown.

Press the DISPLAY button
briey to switch between the
TOTAL 1, TOTAL 2 BATCH and
FLOWRATE. When TOTAL 2 BATCH
is displayed, you can hold the
DISPLAY button for 3 seconds to
reset the Batch Total to zero.

Flowrate Feature: To use this feature,
press and release DISPLAY button
until FLOWRATE icon appears.
The factory set time base will be
highlighted to the right of FLOWRATE
(M = minutes, H = hours, D = days).
When FLOWRATE is invoked, the
display will be indicating rate of ow.

CALIBRATION

FACTORY CALIBRATION

All Q09 Displays

All calibration units are visible to the
user as icons on the top line of the
display, above the numeric digits.

All units are congured with a
“factory” calibration. Both gallons
and litres are available (“GL” or “LT”
will be displayed). While holding
the CALIBRATE button, briey
press DISPLAY to toggle between
gallons and litres. This factory
calibration (indicated with FAC) is
permanently programmed into the
display and is not user adjustable.

NOTE: Your display may have other
units of measure programmed into
it. If so, holding the CALIBRATE
button and momentarily pressing the
DISPLAY button will toggle through
all factory set units. Other possible
units are: IGL (imperial gallon), QT
(quart), CF (cubic feet), CM (cubic
meter), BL (42 gal. barrel), CC
(cubic centimeter) or OZ (ounce).

Switching between different units will
not corrupt the Total’s contents. For
example, in GL mode, the display
totalizes 10.00 gallons, if the user
switches to LT mode, the display will
