EXPLOSION and FIRE HAZARDS
Improper grounding, poor ventilation, open ames or sparks can cause a hazardous condition and
result in an explosion or re and cause serious injury.
• Be sure the uid system is properly grounded. See your pump instruction manual for
details.
• If there is static sparking or if you feel an electric shock while using the meter, stop dis
pensing immediately. Identify and correct the problem before continuing.
• Provide fresh air ventilation. This will avoid the buildup of fumes from the uid being dis
pensed.
• Do not smoke while dispensing ammable uids.
• Keep the dispensing area free of debris including solvents, rags and spilled gasoline.

FCC ID: GIF-RF KEYPAD
FCC CERTIFIED, PART 15, SUB-PART C
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following
two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must
accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired opera-
tion.
METER OVERVIEW
The Electronic Preset Meter RF2 (EPM RF2) is equipped with RF (radio frequency)
communications to communicate with a uid management system keypad to get authoriza-
tion and dispense information. This is referred to in the manual as the RF Mode.
The meter can also be run as a standard EPM. This is referred to in the manual as the EPM
Mode. This is intended for start-up purposes or when the uid management system is not in
use.
Once a work order has been entered at the keypad, the operator simply pushes the button
on the meter to start communications between the meter and the keypad. The meter
receives authorization from the keypad to unlock and the dispense batch quantity. When
the trigger is pulled the pre-set dispense batch quantity dispenses.
The meter automatically shuts off when the dispense batch quantity has been reached.
A “Top Off” feature allows additional uid to be dispensed and tracked after the batch quan-
tity has been dispensed.
Upon completion of the dispense, the operator presses the button. The meter then
locks, prohibiting any unauthorized dispense of uid and the dispense quantity is sent to
the keypad.
Meter Buttons
Used to enter the dispense Batch quantity when in
the EPM Mode. These buttons are NOT used in RF
Mode.
Total
Used to display the accumulated total of uid dis-
pensed, as well as the re-settable total.
Auto
Used to enter and exit the manual or batch mode
when in EPM mode. This button is NOT used in RF
mode.
Meter Display
Reset
Used to initiate RF communications from the meter to the Keypad.•
Used in EPM mode to clear the previous batch.•
Used to reset the re-settable total dispensed while pressing the TOTAL button.•
Shut-Off or Stop
Used to stop the ow through an Emergency Override.

METER INSTALLATION
Relieve System Pressure
1. Turn off the power supply to the pump
or close the shutoff valve.
2. Dispense any uid in the system into a
waste container by opening the
meter(s).
3. Open all bleed-type master air valves
and uid meter(s) in the system.
4. Leave the meter(s) open until ready to
pressurize the system.
Grounding
1. Grounding reduces the risk of static
sparking. Ground all system components
according to local, state, and federal
codes. Consult the pump user’s manual
and other system components to ground
the following:
2. Pump: follow manufacturer’s
recommendations
3. Air and Fluid Hoses: use only grounded
hoses
4. Air Compressor: follow manufacturers
recommendations
5. Fluid Supply Container: follow the local
code
Pressurized Equipment
This equipment stays pressurized until the
pressure is manually relieved. To reduce the
risk of injury from uid spray from the meter
follow the Pressure Relief Procedures when
you:
• Are instructed to relieve pressure
• Stop dispensing
• Check, clean, or service any system
equipment
• Clean or install nozzles
Explosion and Fire
Movement of uids through the dispensing
system creates static electricity. Static
electricity can cause volatile fumes result-
ing in an explosion and re. The dispensing
system must be grounded.

Flushing Procedure
NOTE: If the system has multiple dispense
positions, begin at the position farthest from
the pump and move towards the pump.
1. Close uid dispense valves at every position.
2. Once the main uid outlet valve at the pump is closed, the air pressure to the pump
motor is properly adjusted and the air valve is opened.
3. Slowly open the main uid valve.
4. Place the hose end in a waste container. Make sure hose is secure so no uid leaks
during ushing.
5. Slowly open the dispense valve and allow enough uid to pass through it to ensure that
the system is clean.
6. Close the valve and repeat for all dispense positions.
Apply Meter to Hose
Close the drain valve before starting this procedure.
If this installation is new or if the uid
in the lines is contaminated, ush the
system before installing the meter(s).
1. Attach a swivel to the meter. Apply thread sealant
to the male end of hose. Recommended sealant is
Loctite® 243.
2. Insert the metal end of the hose into the swivel.
Tighten completely with an open ended, adjustable,
wrench.
NOTE: The threaded end of the meter always has
female threads. The metal end of the hose must
have male threads.
Apply thread sealant, Loctite® 243, or equivalent, to
the male end.
The inlet and outlet swivel connections are either
1/2” NPT or 1/2” BSPP, depending on meter model.
Attach the hose

Apply Nozzle to Meter
Attach the Nozzle
1. On the opposite end, apply sealant to the
end of the nozzle. Recommended sealant
is Loctite® 243.
2. Thread the nozzle onto the meter. Screw
it in rmly with an open ended, adjust
able, wrench (see caution below).
3. Open all dispense position shut-off
valves. Start the pump to pressurize the
system.
4. Before use, to ensure accuracy, purge
all air from the uid lines and dispense
valve(s).
METER OPERATION, RF MODE
When the battery pack is attached to the meter, it automatically enters the RF Mode.
The trigger is in the locked-out position. No uid can be dispensed by the meter until a dis-
pense order is received from the keypad.
Arrows
Batch
Quantity
1. Pressing the meter button
causes communication to occur
between the meter and the keypad.
• Two (2) arrows in the lower right
hand corner of the meter screen
ash. This indicates communication
is in progress between the meter
and keypad.
2. When the communication is complete
the trigger unlocks and the batch
quantity is displayed
4
Do Not Over Tighten nozzle to
handle. This may result in cracking
the handle housing.
CAUTION
3. Pull the trigger to the full, up, position to begin the uid ow. Release trigger once uid
ow begins.
• The solenoid valve automatically locks the dispensing valve in the full open posi-
tion. The trigger falls back to the closed position.
• It is not necessary to continue to hold the trigger.
• After the batch quantity is dispensed, the ow automatically shuts off.
4. The user has the option to top off the tank after
the batch quantity has been dispensed.
• To top off, pull the trigger to begin the ow.
• Release the trigger when the desired amount
has been dispensed.
5. Press the button when nished to complete the dispense order.
• The total quantity dispensed is transmitted to the RF system.
• The meter returns to the locked position.
• The meter is now ready to receive another dispense order from the RF system.
NOTE: If the original communication fails, the meter automatically attempts to communicate
with the RF system by resending the Dispense Result three (3) times, 30 seconds apart.
6. If the meter is unable to communicate a dispense result, the History icon lights.
Do NOT press button before
topping off.
If button is pressed, the meter
returns to a locked-out position and
does not allow additional uid to be
dispensed until a valid dispense order
is received from the RF System.
History Icon
History Icon
The History icon indicates there is dispense result
information that has not been communicated to the
