Meter Operation
Dispense Options
The meter dispense options are determined by the sys- tem administrator at the time the meter is programmed. Meter dispense options include:
•Manual Dispense Mode
•Preset Dispense Mode
•Restricted Preset Dispense Mode
To change the meter from one mode to another, you must reprogram the meter. See Programming the Meter on page 4.
Preset Dispense Mode
Meters programmed in preset mode count down from a specified value to zero and shut off automatically. The preset value can be increased or decreased from the ini- tial value using the up and down keypad buttons.
1.If necessary, enter the PIN code, Parts Room Authorization request and/or work order request.
2.Press ACTIVATE to enter the dispense mode. The preset default amount entered into the PC will appear on the meter. See FIG. 17.

To dispense fluids in this mode:
1.If necessary, enter the PIN code, Parts Room Authorization request and/or the Work Order request.
2.Press the left or right keypad button under ACTI- VATE to begin communication with the PC. Both ACTIVATE words on the display screen will change to END.
3.Pull the meter trigger to dispense. The meter counts up to the desired amount.
4.Release the trigger when the desired amount is obtained. Then press the right or left keypad button to end the dispense. This logs the dispense amount to the PC and returns the meter to its programmed entry screen.
If END is not pressed, after five minutes the meter will automatically end the job and log the dispense to the PC.
Once the preset amount is dispensed, the meter display automatically changes to read TOP OFF MODE. This allows the operator to add additional fluid after the pre- set amount is dispensed. The Top Off amount to be dis- pensed can be limited during meter programming. See FIG. 18.
