KegLand Fill-O-Meter - Volumetric Water Measuring Device

Introduction

The KegLand Fill-O-Meter is a versatile and precise volumetric water measuring device designed to accurately measure and dispense liquids. It features an integrated solenoid valve that automatically stops the flow once the programmed volume is reached, preventing spills and ensuring accurate liquid transfer. This manual provides essential information for the proper setup, operation, and maintenance of your Fill-O-Meter.

Setup

1. Mounting: The Fill-O-Meter can be easily mounted to a wall or other stable surface using screws through the integrated mounting brackets.



2. Connecting Hoses: The device features 1/2 inch fittings on both the inlet and outlet. You can use various compatible connectors such as:
   • Garden Hose Quick Connect (e.g., KL09461)

   

   • Type A Camlock fittings (e.g., KL04503)

   

3. Inlet Filter: Ensure the stainless steel filter is always in place on the inlet side. This prevents particulates from entering and potentially damaging the solenoid valve.
4. Power Connection: Connect the provided 24V DC power supply to the port on the underside of the unit. The power cable is over 3 meters long, allowing the high-voltage AC power source to be kept a safe distance from any potential water exposure.

Operating Instructions

1. Power On: Once connected to power, the display will illuminate.
2. Setting Volume:
   1. Press the 'SET' button. The numbers on the display will start flashing.
   2. Use the arrow buttons (up/down) to adjust the desired volume. You can move between digits to set precise values.
   3. The unit can display measurements in liters or gallons, which can be changed in the menu functions.
3. Start/Stop Flow: Press the 'START/STOP' button to begin dispensing liquid. The device will automatically stop the flow once the preset volume is reached.
4. Clearing Display: To clear the current volume setting and reset the display to zero, press and hold the 'CLEAR HOLD 5 SEC' button for 5 seconds.
5. Monitoring Flow: The display also shows the flow rate in liters per minute, in addition to the total volume dispensed.

Maintenance

• Inlet Filter: Regularly inspect and clean the stainless steel filter on the inlet side to ensure optimal performance and prevent blockages.
• General Cleaning: Wipe the exterior of the device with a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
• Protect from Moisture: While designed to withstand some exposure, avoid prolonged direct exposure to heavy rain or submersion. Ensure the power socket area on the underside remains as dry as possible.

Troubleshooting

• Device Not Powering On: Check that the 24V DC power adapter is securely connected to both the Fill-O-Meter and a working power outlet.
• Inaccurate Measurement: Ensure the inlet filter is clean and free of debris. Verify that the flow direction is correct (water enters through the filtered side).
• Water Leakage: Check all hose connections for tightness. If necessary, use appropriate thread sealant (e.g., Teflon tape) on threaded connections, being careful not to allow tape fragments to enter the device, which could foul the solenoid valve.
• Flow Not Stopping: If the device fails to stop the flow at the set volume, check for any obstructions in the solenoid valve (which the inlet filter helps prevent). Ensure the set volume is correctly programmed.
