Interference security method

Blowing with air Tampering mode is to protect from tampering with the

purpose to increase fuel consumption metering (for

example by blowing air). Tampering usually causes sharp

increase in fuel consumption exceeding maximum. DFM

electronic board registers increased fuel consumption

while the fuel meter work suspends, and tampering meter

activates which registers the volume of fuel flown through

the fuel meter at higher speed.

Magnetic field Special reed switch is activated when exposed to static

interference magnetic field interference for more than 5 seconds and

the time of interference is counted by “interference time”

counter.

Supply power Embedded battery supplies autonomous operation of the

switched off flowmeter up to 2 years.

Disconnection from Installation kit elements have openings for sealing.

> Applicationsu Fuel consumption on:

- vehicles - river vessels - diesel generators - burners/boilers

u Engine performance testingu Engine time monitoring to pro-actively signal maintenanceu Real-time fuel monitoring and consumption reductionu Fuel theft detection and prevention

> Fuel flow meter mounting kits

PurposeThe mounting kits are multipurpose kits and are designed for connection of the fuel flow meters DFM to the fuel system or engine.

Advantagesu Unions, valves, bolts of a rotary square have bores for sealing;u High-quality components: seal rings (D18-055F) and sealing

washer (08 Cu) made of high quality soft copper (not aluminum!); square rotary - from a steel (not aluminum!), calibrated valve, mounting kit components have corrosion protection.

Attention! The longevity and accuracy of the fuel flow meters depend on mounting kit components quality.

The manufacturer reserves the right to put changes in the composition of sets, as well as replace the components to similar without notice to the buyer.
