General Description

The Sotera 825P and 850P Meters are nutating disk, positive displacement meters that use magnetic coupling to convert fluid flow into digital display information. The meter can store and display the current total, or cumulative total in any of five programmed units (ounces, pints, quarts, liters, and gallons) or special units (e.g. per acre volume). The meter can be calibrated without dispensing fluid by selecting a calibration factor from the 20 stored settings. Power is supplied by two CR2032 batteries that can be replaced in the field. 825P / 850P models feature pulse output and 4-20mA output for connection to fluid management systems and batch controllers for the control and monitoring of dispensed fluid.

Polypropylene Body	Stainless Steel Screws/Shaft
Fluorocarbon Seals	PPS Chamber

Installation

Use PTFE tape or thread compound on all threaded joints.

Determine direction for fluid flow and point arrow on meter body in that direction.
Thread hose or pipe into ports until snug. Be careful not to cross thread when starting threads.

Installation Hint
To prevent cross threading, turn the pipe / hose backwards (counterclockwise) until you feel it engage threads, then tighten.

Changing Meter Readout Position
If it is necessary to change position of the meter readout, follow these steps (Refer to exploded view).

Unscrew meter cap (item 1, page 12). Use a strap type oil filter wrench or 5″ open jaw type wrench if too tight to unscrew by hand.
Insert a wide, flat-head screwdriver into the upper slot and gently pry up electronics module (see Figure 1).
Gently rotate electronics module to desired location.
Press electronics module down into meter cover in the correct orientation.
Thread on meter cap until hand tight. To check tightness, there should be approximately 1/16″ gap between the cap and ridge on outlet port (see Figure 3).

Operational Functions

Turns meter on when off.
Displays accumulated total as long as it is pressed. If accumulated total is larger than 9999, the numbers will scroll across the screen.
When held for 3 seconds, it resets current total to zero. Also resets to normal operating mode when in CAL or FLSH mode.
When held for 3 seconds, it allows changes to the calibration factor displayed in the bottom left corner. Repeated pressing will step the number up to 19 and back to zero. When desired number is displayed, press button 2 to lock in the new number and return to normal operation.
When held for 3 seconds, flow rate is displayed. Fluid dispensed is still added to the accumulated total and current total. Press button 4 to return to normal operation.

Use

CAUTION
Meter will count air if you dispense air. Before initial operation or when air has entered the system, prime the meter by dispensing fluid until all trapped air has been removed. Meter is now ready to operate.

Press button to turn meter on. Current total, unit of measure, and calibration factor are displayed. The meter also turns on automatically and begins recording when fluid starts flowing through it.
Hold button 2 for one second to reset current total to “0.00.”
Begin dispensing.
NOTE: Meter display automatically goes blank after 60 seconds of inactivity and automatically comes back on when flow resumes. No data is lost during periods of inactivity.

Calibration Using the CAL Factor

The THINNER the fluid, the LOWER the CAL number.
The THICKER the fluid, the HIGHER the CAL number.

CAL 4 is set for thin fluids like water.
CAL 19, the highest number, is set for very thick fluids like cold molasses.
Each number changes the meter accuracy by about 1%.

Table #1: Suggested CAL Factor Settings for Common Fluids

0| 1| 2| 3| 4| 5| 6| 7| 8| 9| 10| 11| 12| 13| 14| 15| 16| 17| 18| 19

NOTE: The suggested CAL factors are for REFERENCE ONLY.

Calibration Procedure Using the CAL Factor

Changing the CAL Factor

• Hold button 3 until the display only shows CAL and number.
• Press 3 repeatedly until you reach the desired number. Note – number will step up to 19, then back to zero.
• Press 2 to return to normal operating mode.

Calibration Procedure

A) Set CAL factor to 10.

Hold button 3 for three seconds. Press 3 again until the number 10 shows below “CAL” (NOTE: If you go past 10 keep pressing 3 because the number will return to 0 after passing 19).
Press 2 to get back to normal operating mode.

NOTE: If your fluid is listed on Table 1, use that number in step A above in place of 10.

B) Prime pump and meter by dispensing 2 – 3 gallons of fluid back into the bulk tank.
With the outlet valve closed and the pump still running, reset the meter to 0.00.
C) Fill the Proving Can exactly to the 5.0 gallon line.
Focus on the Proving Can, do not look at the meter at this point. Keep the hose end nozzle wide open as long as possible for best accuracy.
D) Adjust Meter CAL Factor.
If meter reads high, increase the CAL factor. Each CAL # changes the accuracy by about 1%. For a 5 gallon proving can, 1% = 0.05 gallons. If 5.10 is displayed, this is 2% over 5.00; the CAL factor should be changed to CAL 12. If the meter reads low, lower the CAL factor. For example, if 4.90 is displayed, it is 2% less than 5.00, so the CAL factor should be set to 8. When finished with the CAL factor procedure, press 2 to return to normal mode and to reset the meter to 0.00. The meter is now calibrated and ready to use.

Batteries

NOTE: Low battery icon will appear when batteries require replacement. Meter still functions properly for several days after the icon appears. Neither calibration, current total or totalizer quantities will be lost when you replace batteries.

To Replace Batteries (refer to exploded view).

Unscrew meter cap (item 1, page 12). Use a strap type oil filter wrench or large 5″ jaw pipe wrench if needed.
Insert a flat-head screw driver into the top slot (see Figure 4) and gently pry up electronics module.
Remove old batteries and insert new batteries, making sure battery polarity is correct, or meter damage could occur (positive side facing up when installed).
As noted in Figure 5, reinstall O-ring on electronics module. Align sensor receptacle in proper location. Press module gently down into meter cover.
Thread on meter cap until hand tight. To check tightness, there should be approximately 1/16″ gap between cap and ridge on outlet port. (See Figure 6).

Maintenance

CAUTION: Follow fluid manufacturer’s recommended procedures for handling and disposing of metered fluids.

Meter should be flushed between uses with water to prevent chemicals from drying and plugging meter.

Thorough Cleaning (refer to exploded view)
If meter is plugged due to hardened chemical or debris, do the following:

Drain all fluid from meter.
Unscrew meter cap (item 1, page 12). Use a strap type oil filter wrench or large 5″ jaw pipe wrench if necessary.
Insert a flat-head screwdriver in the lower slot (see Figure 7) and turn to pry up meter cover (item 6).
The meter chamber (item 8, page 12) can now be removed.
Rinse all meter components with flushing fluid. DO NOT submerge display assembly. Be careful not to get any fluid or dirt in the electronics module. Permanent damage to the electronics will occur.
Reassemble meter.

CALIBRATION NOTE: Over time, the chamber inside the meter will wear, requiring the meter to be re-calibrated with water. When this should be done depends on the amount and type of fluid dispensed. In most crop protection fluid uses (less than 1000 gallons of a clean fluid per year), the meter will remain accurate for many years without recalibration. On the other hand, dispensing an abrasive fluid may require more frequent recalibration.
The 825P / 850P meter is designed to be calibrated with clean water for safe handling. See “Water Calibration” section in Appendix B.

Storage
Store in a cool, dry place. Drain out all fluid that could freeze in the meter.

PULSE WIDTHS ARE A FIXED 10 mS ON TIME

RECOMMENDED PULL-UP RESISTOR VALUES

825P / 850P Series Digital Meters are equipped with an integral pulser for use with Fuel Management Systems and batching equipment. These meters must also be connected to an auxiliary external power supply to operate the pulsing feature. 5-24V DC external power is required for the pulse outputs on pins 2 and 3 to operate. Failure to attach external power can cause premature battery failure. External power must be from 5 – 24V DC.

NOTE: When powering the 4-20mA loop, a minimum of 7V DC is required at the 825P/850P meter for consistent operation.

The manufacturer of the 4-20mA receiver will supply voltage drop information as well as their minimum voltage requirements in their literature.

NOTE: If the meter is to be used in environments with high levels of EMC or RF sensitive equipment, connect the braided shield of the cable to an earth ground.

The 825P / 850P meters are designed to conduct ESD and EMC surges through the braided shield.

NOTE: The pulse width for volumetric output and air detect is 10ms.

DO NOT connect the braided shield to the ground of the Power Supply, or the 4-20mA loop power.
DO NOT install or operate this meter in an explosive atmosphere!
