3.2 LCD Display
The “LCD” of the METER features two numerical registers
and various indications displayed to the user only when the
applicable function so requires.
Key:
1. Partial register (5 figures with moving comma FROM 0.1 to
99999) indicating the volume dispensed since the reset
button was last pressed.
2. Indication of battery charge.
3. Indication of calibration mode.
4. Totals register (6 figures with moving comma FROM 0.1 to
999999), that can indicate two types of Total:
4.1. General Total that cannot be reset (TOTAL).
4.2. Resettable total (Reset TOTAL).
5. Indication of total multiplication factor (x10 / x100 ).
6. Indication of type of total, (TOTAL / Reset TOTAL).
7. Indication of unit of measurement of Totals: L=Litres
Gal=Gallons
8. Indication of Flow Rate mode.
9. Indication of unit of measurement of Partial: Qts=Quarts
Pts=Pints
L=Litres
Gal=Gallons
User Buttons
The ADB02 features two buttons (reset and cal) which
individually perform two main functions and, together, other
secondary functions.
The main functions performed are:
• Reset key - resetting the partial register and resettable
total (reset total).
• Cal key - entering instrument calibration mode.
Used together, the two keys permit entering configuration
mode, useful for changing the units of measurements and
calibration factor.
4. OPERATION
4.1 Daily Use
The only operations that need to be done for daily use are
partial and/or resettable total register resetting.
The user should use only the dispensing system of ADB02.
Occasionally the meter may need to be configured or
calibrated. To do so, please refer to the relevant sections.
Below are the two typical normal operation displays.
One display page shows the partial and reset total registers.
The other shows the partial and general total. Switchover
from resettable total to general total display is automatic and
tied to phases and times that are factory set and cannot be
changed.
This puts the meter in standby mode and remains stable until
the user operates the ADB02 again.
4.2.1 Partial Reset
The partial register can be reset by
pressing the reset key when the meter
is in standby, meaning when the
display screen shows the word
“TOTAL”.
After pressing the reset key, during
reset, the display screen first of all
shows all the lit-up digits and then all
the digits that are not lit up.
At the end of the process, a display
page is shown with the reset partial
and the reset total.
After a few moments, the reset total
is replaced by the non resettable Total.
4.2.2 Resetting the Reset Total
The reset total resetting operation can
only be performed after resetting the
partial register. The reset total can in
fact be reset by pressing the reset key
at length while the display screen
shows reset total as on the following
display page:
Schematically, the steps to be taken
are:
1. Wait for the display to show normal
standby display page (with total only
displayed).
2. Press the reset key quickly.
3. The meter starts to reset the partial.
4. While the display page showing the
reset total is displayed. Press the
reset key again for at least 1 second.
5. The display screen again shows all
the segments of the display followed
by all the switched-off segments and
finally shows the display page where
the reset Reset Total is shown.
NOTE: 6 digits are available for Totals, plus two icons x
10 / x100. The increment sequence is the following:
0.0→99999.9→ 999999→100000 x10→ 999999x10 →
100000x100→999999x100
4.2 Dispensing in Normal Mode
Normal mode is the standard dispensing.
While the count is made, the partial and
resettable total are displayed at the same
time (reset total).
Should one of the keys be accidentally
pressed during dispensing, this will have
no effect.
A few seconds after dispensing has
ended, on the lower register, the display
switches from resettable total to general
total: the word reset above the word total
disappears, and the reset total is
replaced by the general total.

4.3 Dispensing with Flow Rate Mode Display
It is possible to dispense fluids, displaying at the same time:
• The dispensed partial.
• The Flow Rate in [Partial Unit / minute] as shown on the
following display page:
Procedure for entering this mode:
• Wait for the Remote Display to go to Standby, meaning the
display screen shows Total only.
• Quickly press the CAL key.
• Start dispensing.
ADB02 Issue No: 1 - 21/06/13
The flow rate is updated every 0.7 seconds. Consequently,
the display could be relatively unstable at lower flow rates.
The higher the flow rate, the more stable the displayed value.
q IMPORTANT! The flow rate is measured with reference to
the unit of measurement of the Partial. For this reason, in
case of the unit of measurement of the Partial and Total
being different, as in the example shown below, it should
be remembered that the indicated flow rate relates to the
unit of measurement of the partial. In the example shown,
the flow rate is expressed in Qts/min.
The word “Gal” remaining alongside the flow rate refers
to the register of the Totals (Reset or NON Reset) which
are again displayed when exiting from the flow rate reading
mode.
To return to “Normal” mode, press the CAL key again. If one
of the two keys RESET or CAL is accidentally pressed during
the count, this will have no effect.
q IMPORTANT! Even though in this mode they are not
displayed, both the Reset Total and the General Total (Total)
increase. Their value can be checked after dispensing has
terminated, returning to “Normal” mode, by quickly pressing
CAL.
4.3.1 Partial Reset
To enter the calibration phases it is necessary to press and
hold down the CAL button.
Why enter the calibration phases?
• To display the currently used calibration factor.
• Return to factory k factor after a previous calibration with
user k factor.
• Change the calibration factor using one of the two previously
indicated procedures.
In calibration mode, the partial and total dispensed quantities
indicated on the display screen take on different meanings
according to the calibration procedure phase. During the
calibration, the ADB02 cannot perform any normal dispensing
operations. In calibration mode, the totals are not increased.
q WARNING! The ADB02 features a non-volatile memory. It
keeps the calibration and dispensing data stored even after
replacing new batteries or long periods of inactivity.
5.3.1 Display Of Current “K Factor” And Restoring “Factory K
Factor”
By pressing the CAL key while the
appliance is in standby, the display page
appears showing the current calibration
factor used.
If you are using ADB02 with “factory k
factor”, the display page shown in the
diagram will be displayed, with the
word “fact”.
If one “user k factor” has been set, the
calibration factor set by the user (in our
example 0.998) will be displayed. The
word “user” indicates a calibration factor
set by the user is being used.
To reset the Partial Register, finish dispensing and wait for the
Remote Display to show a Flow Rate of 0.0 as indicated in
the illustration then quickly press RESET.
5. CALIBRATION
5.1 Definitions
Calibration factor or “k factor” :
Multiplication factor applied by the system to the electrical
pulses received, to transform these into measured fluid units.
FACTORY K FACTOR:
Factory-set default factor. It is equal to 1,000. This calibration
factor ensures utmost precision in the following operating
conditions:
Fluid diesel fuel
Temperature: 20°c
Flow rate: 5-100 ltr/min
Even after any changes have been made by the user, the
factory k factor can be restored by means of a simple
procedure.
USER K FACTOR:
Customized calibration factor, meaning modified by
calibration.
5.2 Why Calibrate
When operating close to extreme conditions, such as for
instance with fluids close to acceptable range extremes (like
diesel fuel at low temperatures) or in extreme flow rate
conditions (close to minimum or maximum acceptable
values), an on-site calibration may be required to suit the real
conditions in which the ADB02 is required to operate.
5.3 Calibration Procedure:
ADB02 permits making quick and precise electronic
calibration by changing the calibration factor (k factor).
There are 2 different ways of calibration:
1. On-site calibration, performed by means of a dispensing

operation.
2. Direct calibration, performed by directly changing the k
factor.
Original Language Version
The flow chart
alongside shows the
switchover logic
from one display
page to another.
In this condition, the
Reset key permits
switching from User
factor to Factory
factor.
To confirm the
choice of calibration
factor, quickly press
CAL while “User” or
“Fact” are displayed.
After the restart
cycle, the meter
uses the calibration
factor that has just
been confirmed.
q ATTENTION! When the Factory Factor is confirmed, the
old User factor is deleted from the memory.
5.3.2 In-field Calibration
This procedure calls for the fluid to be dispensed into a
graduated sample container in real operating conditions (flow
rate, viscosity, etc.) requiring maximum precision.
q WARNING! For correct ADB02 calibration, it is important to:
• Completely eliminate air from the system before calibrating.
• Use a precise Sample Container with a capacity of not less
than 5 litres, featuring an accurate graduated indicator.
• Ensure calibration dispensing is done at a constant flow rate
equivalent to that of normal use, until the container is full.
• DO NOT reduce the flow rate to reach the graduated area of
the container during the final dispensing stage (the correct
method during the final stages of sample container filling
consists in making short topups at normal flow rate).
• After dispensing, wait a few minutes to make sure any air
bubbles are eliminated from the sample container. Only read
the Real value at the end of this stage, during which the
level in the container could drop.
• If necessary, carefully follow the procedure indicated in 5.4.
ADB02 Issue No: 1 - 21/06/13
5.4 In-field Calibration Procedure
5.4.1 ADB02 In Stand by Mode
5.4.2 Press the CAL Key for 2 Seconds
ADB02 enters calibration mode, shows
”CAL” and displays the calibration
factor in use instead of total. The
words “FACT” and “USER” indicate
which of the two factors is currently in use.
5.4.3 Press the RESET Key for 2 Seconds
ADB02 shows “CAL” and the partial at
zero. ADB02 is ready to perform
on-site calibration.
5.4.4 Dispensing into Sample Container
Without pressing any KEY,
start dispensing into the
sample container.
Dispensing can be interrupted and started again at will.
Continue dispensing until the level of the fluid in the sample
container has reached the graduated area. There is no need
to reach a preset quantity.
Indicated value Real value
5.4.5 Press the RESET Key
ADB02 is informed that the calibration
dispensing operation is finished.
Make sure dispensing is correctly
finished before performing this
operation.
To calibrate the ADB02, the value indicated by the partial
totaliser (example 9.800) must be changed to the real value
marked on the graduated sample container.
In the bottom left part of the display an arrow appears
(upwards and downwards), that shows the direction
(increase or decrease) of the USER K FACTOR value change
when the operations 5.4.6 or 5.4.7 are performed.
ADB02 calculates the new USER K FACTOR. This calculation
Indicated value Real value
could require a few seconds, depending on the correction to
be made. During this operation the arrow disappears but the
CAL indication remains.
If this operation is performed after operation (5.4.5), without
changing the indicated value, the USER K FACTOR would be
the same as the FACTORY K FACTOR, thus it is ignored.
5.4.9 At the end of the calculation, the new
USER K FACTOR is shown for a few
seconds, after which the restart cycle
is repeated to finally achieve standby
condition.
q ATTENTION! From now on, the indicated factor will become
the calibration factor used by the meter and will continue to
remain such even after a battery change.
5.4.10 ADB02 stores the new calibration factor
and is ready for dispensing, applying the
newly defined USER K FACTOR.
5.5 Direct Modification of K Factor
This procedure is especially useful to correct a “mean error”
obtainable on the basis of several performed dispensing
operations. If normal ADB02 operation shows a mean
percentage error, this can be corrected by applying to the
currently used calibration factor a correction of the same
percentage. In this case, the percentage correction of the
USER K FACTOR must be calculated by the operator in the
following way:
Example:
Error percentage found E% - 0.9 %
CURRENT calibration factor 1,000
New USER K FACTOR = 1,000 * [(100 – ( - 0.9))/100]=
1,000 * [(100 + 0.9)/100] = 1.009
If the meter indicates less than the real dispensed value
(negative error) the new calibration factor must be higher than
the old one as shown in the example. The opposite applies if
the meter shows more than the real dispensed value (positive
error).
5.5.1 ADB02 in STAND BY Mode
5.4.6 Press the RESET Key
Arrow direction changes. The operation
can be repeated if necessary.
5.4.7 Press the CAL Key
The indicated value changes in the
direction indicated by the arrow by one
unit for each press of the CAL key.
By continuous holding of the CAL key
the first 5 units will change slowly and
will then change quickly.
If the desired value is exceeded, repeat the operations from
point (5.4.6).
5.4.8 Press the RESET Key for 2 Seconds
ADB02 is informed that the calibration
procedure is finished. Before doing this,
make sure the DISPLAYED factor is the
ACTUAL factor.

5.5.4 Press the RESET Key for 2 Seconds
We now go on to Direct change of the
calibration factor: the word “Direct”
appears together with the Currently
Used calibration factor. In the bottom
left part of the display, an arrow appears
(upwards or downwards) defining the direction (increase or
decrease) of change of the displayed value when subsequent
operations 5.5.5 or 5.5.6 are performed.
5.5.5 Press the RESET Key
Arrow direction changes. The operation
can be repeated to alternate the
direction of the arrow.
5.5.6 Press the CAL Key
The indicated value changes in the
direction indicated by the arrow by one
unit for each press of the CAL key.
By continuous holding of the CAL key
the first 5 units will change slowly and
will then change quickly. If the desired value is exceeded,
repeat the operations from point (5.4.5).
5.6.4 Save the new combination by pressing the CAL key at length.
ADB02 will pass through the start cycle and will then be ready
to dispense in the set units.
q WARNING! The Resettable Total and Total registers will be
automatically changed to the new unit of measurement. No
