 8. TROUBLESHOOTING.
If, after the meter is switched on, ticker bar instead of '00' displays a
stationary three-element message, it means that meter sensor in tube 3 is not
fit for work (metal chips, dust, drops of water, or other foreign matter). In
this case, wash the sensor in metering tube 3 in gasoline, shake off the
remaining drops, purge with air, and dry. For the complete removal of
contamination after washing, you may use paper strips. Sensor may be
washed in rectified rubber solvent gasoline (NEFRAS-S2-20\120
TU38.401-67-108-92) KALOSHA by repeated dipping of the tube in a
vessel containing gasoline; gasoline level in the vessel should be above
mark 7. After '00' appears in the display, the meter is ready for work.
When gasoline reaches sensor in tube 3, sensor parameters are changing;
microprocessor compares them with data stored in memory, and digital
display 4 shows figures corresponding to gasoline octane number. Meter is
switched ON by pressing button 5 once, until it locks. Repeated pressure
on the button switches the meter off.
Microprocessor program supports basic mode, expanded mode, reading
correction for gas temperature mode and reading correction for sensor
contamination mode.

9. STORAGE AND TRANSPORTATION

The meter shall be stored and transported in factory case with closed
cover.
No dust, acid and alkali vapors, aggressive gases or other corrosive
impurities should be present in meter storage places.
The meter may be transported by any mode of transport.
When the meter is not used for a long time (over 2 months), please
remove batteries.
Do not leave the meter in direct sunlight for more than 1 hour.

 6. PREPARING FOR OPERATION
• Push button 5 ON/OFF in OFF position.
• Remove cover 6.
• Observing the polarity, install two batteries (type АА).
• Set the cover in place and fasten it with screws.
• Press button 5 at compartment 1 until it locks.
A ticker bar will appear in the middle of the digital display 4, and in a
few moments figures ‘00’ will be displayed. The meter is ready for work.
“РАЗ” (RAZ) message on the digital display indicates that batteries are
discharged. They should be replaced.
7. METER OPERATION.
The meter may work in two main modes:
• continuous-flow mode with gasoline flowing along metering tube 3;
• sensor immersion mode with metering tube immersion in vessel with
gasoline.
For operation in continuous-flow mode, install the gas station fuel gun
as far as it would go into transition compartment 2 through rubber seals.
Install metering pipe 3 in fuel tank filler, press button 5 at compartment 1,
achieve even flow of gas through tube 3 by fuel flow regulator on the fuel
gun without actuating fuel gun shutoff valve. In a few moments ticker bar in
the middle of display 4 will be replaced by figures indicating octane number
of gasoline flowing through the meter. Ignore the first reading and wait for
the next 2-3. Then stop filling, switch off the meter, remove it from fuel
gun and shake off the remaining fuel from the tube.
This mode allows the possibility of monitoring gasoline quality in
course of filling. If there are air bubbles in flowing gas, meter readings will
be too low.
For operation in sensor immersion mode, place metering pipe 3
vertically or aslant in a vessel filled with gasoline above the mark 7.
Press button 5 at compartment 1. Make sure there is a ticker bar in the
middle of the display and take the readings. Ignore the first reading and
wait for the next 2-3. Then switch off the meter, remove it from gasoline
and shake off the remaining fuel from the meter.
In course of measurements, two-or three-digit octane number values
are displayed with increment of one. To obtain more accurate information
on measurement, you can press button 8 KOPP (CORR) (see p.10), and
values with increment of 0.1 will be displayed.
Measurement cycles are repeated 10 times; then, the display dims, and
an intermittent sound signal is heard, reminding you that you should
switch the meter off.
Often gasoline contains dissolved foreign matter (in particular, (motor
oil, fuel oil, diesel oil and other poorly evaporating substances), remaining
after gasoline is evaporated, and accumulating at sensor plates. Such
contamination affects initial properties of the sensor and results in too
high meter readings.
To eliminate this problem, the meter has measurement program
correction mode, taking into account sensor contamination. To make a
correction, press button 8 “CORR”, using a thin object; press button 5 to
switch the meter on, and release button 8. After a double sound signal,
lower part of the display will show:
• two ticker bars,
• absolute value of sensor resistance deviation from factory setting in
standard units,
• ЗАП (ZAP) message
Deviation will be stored in meter memory and will be factored in while
displaying octane number value.
Deviation value “000” means that the sensor is clean.
Each subsequent correction eliminates the previous one. Only the last
correction matters in measurement.
