I-B Warnings

• Improper operation of this equipment such as
neglecting its maintenance or being careless can
cause possible injury or death. Permit only
responsible and capable persons to install, operate,
and/or maintain this equipment.

• Potentially lethal voltages and amperages are
present in these machines. Ensure all steps are taken
to render the machine safe before attempting to work
on the equipment.

All hardware covered by this manual have
dangerous electrical voltages and can cause fatal
electrical shock. Avoid contact with bare wires,
terminals, connections, etc., on the hardware, if
applicable. Ensure all appropriate covers, guards,
grounds, and barriers are in place before operating
the equipment. If work must be done around an
operating unit, stand on an insulated dry surface to
reduce shock hazard.

• Do not handle any kind of electrical device while
standing in water, while barefoot, or while hands or
feet are wet. DANGEROUS ELECTRICAL SHOCK
MAY RESULT.

• If trained personnel must stand on metal or
concrete while installing, servicing, adjusting, or
repairing this equipment, place insulative mats over
a dry wooden platform. Work on the equipment
only while standing on such insulative mats.

• Never wear jewelry when working on this
equipment. Jewelry can conduct electricity
resulting in electric shock or may get caught in
moving components causing injury.

• Keep a fire extinguisher near the hardware at all
times. Do NOT use any carbon tetra-chloride type
extinguisher. Its fumes are toxic, and the liquid can
deteriorate wiring insulation. Keep the extinguisher
properly charged and be familiar with its use. If there
are any questions pertaining to fire extinguishers,
please consult the local fire department.

• The National Electrical Code (NEC), Article 250
requires the frame of the equipment to be connected
to an approved earth ground and/or grounding rod.
This grounding will help prevent dangerous electrical
shock that might be caused by a ground fault
condition or by static electricity. Never disconnect the
ground wire.

• Wire gauge sizes of electrical wiring, cables, and
cord sets must be adequate to handle the maximum
electrical current (ampacity) to which they will be
subjected.

• Before installing or servicing this (and related)
equipment, make sure that all power voltage supplies
are completely turned off at their source. Failure to
do so will result in hazardous and possibly fatal
electrical shock.

• In case of accident caused by electric shock,
immediately shut down the source of electrical power.
If this is not possible, attempt to free the victim from the
live conductor. AVOID DIRECT CONTACT WITH THE
VICTIM. Use a nonconducting implement, such as a
dry rope or board, to free the victim from the live
conductor. If the victim is unconscious, apply first aid
and seek immediate medical attention.

• The illustrations in this manual are examples only
and may differ from your unit.

III-B. SETTING UP THE METER

Entering the Setup Menu:

There are a number of option for configuring
the meter, but only two concern us: dSP 2,
which allows you to see approximately how
many gallons remain in your tank, rather than
a percentage; and

OFSEt, which calibrates the meter for greater accuracy.

Float Assembly

Meter

To enter the meter's setup menu, press and hold the SEL button for one
second. The screen will begin alternating between Pro and NO. Press RST
while it shows Pro and you will be in the setup menu.

From here, pressing RST will cycle through five options, but all the setting
you will need to change are in the first, 1-INP. Press SEL to enter the
category, and the meter will display rANGE.

Changing the Display From Percentage to Gallons:

When the meter display rANGE, press SEL nine times. The meter should
now read dSP 2. Press RST to change the value, which should initially be

100. Press RST to increase the flashing digit and RST to move one digit
left. Change the value to the maximum capacity of your tank, measure in
gallons. Press and hold SEL to return to the menu, then press SEL
three more times until NO is displayed. The meter should exit the menu
on its own after about a second.

Setting the Meter - 7

Calibrating the Meter:

Once the tank is filled to a known quantity of fuel, it may be necessary to
calibrate the meter by changing the meters offset value.

Enter the setup menu as described above. When the meter displays
rANGE, press SEL twice until it displays OFSet. Press RST to change the
setting to the value that will adjust the reading to match the amount of fuel
in your tank. If you need to enter a negative value, press SEL until the left­most digit is flashing, then press RST

When you have entered a value, press and hold SEL to return to the menu,
then press SEL ten more times until NO is displayed. The meter should
exit the menu on it's own after about a second.

If the meter does not display the correct value, repeat the process to enter
a new offset until the meter is accurate.
