Programming the Meter

CAUTION

Graco recommends using PTFE tape on hose threads prior to installing the Matrix meter. PTFE tape should be after the leading thread and clockwise (same direc- tion as meter installs on hose fitting). Caution should be taken not to get tape into the meter during installa- tion as this can cause the meter to malfunction. Should the tape be the cause of the malfunction, Graco warranty will be denied.

2.Apply PTFE tape to the male threads of the hose fit- ting (P). See caution above. Leave a minimum of two engaged threads bare to maintain grounding continuity.

2.To ensure dispensing accuracy, purge all air from the fluid lines and dispense valve before using it.

3.Set the system flow to the desired flow rate, which is typically 1.5-gpm. Do not exceed a 5-gpm flow rate.
