Do not substitute the pulser while power is being supplied to the unit. Lethal voltages exist within the
dispenser and damage to the unit could occur if certain critical steps are not followed. It is
recommended that only Gasboy-certified ASCs, who are trained in the service and operation of
Atlas dispensers perform this procedure.
WARNING
Complete the purging operation as per standard practice.
Note: The Strainer must be cleaned after performing the purging operation.
All the error codes in the DEF unit are identical to the standard Atlas 9800 with additional
error codes on the Display and their definitions as follows:
• 7 = When the Calibration switch is initially turned to on.
• 574 = Time out and Calibration mode error if no DEF is dispensed within 4 min. or if the
nozzle is not removed within 10 min.
• 993 = Product not available, not calibrated.
• 994 = If an additional transaction is attempted during a calibration procedure.
Measuring Flow Rate
Static electricity may be present before or during dispensing of fuel. A spark between
container and nozzle may occur.
Fire or explosion may result causing serious injury or death.
Ground the nozzle to the Prover Can to prevent static discharge. Place the Prover Can
directly on the ground and not on any insulated surface.
WARNING
While dispensing fuel into a container, ensure that proper equipment and procedures are being
used to eliminate the hazard of fuel vapors that can be ignited from static discharge or other
sources. Maintain contact between the nozzle tip and Prover Can during all fueling
procedures, or use a grounding clip while dispensing the fuel. Return the dispensed fuel to the
proper storage tank.
Use the appropriately-sized Prover Can.
• For standard flow units, use at least a 5-gallon Prover Can.
• For high gallonage units, use at least a 25-gallon Prover Can.
• Start with all displays reading zero (0).
To measure the flow rate, proceed as follows:
1 Dispense fuel at full flow for 15 seconds (1/4 of a minute) into an approved container. Stop the
fuel flow. Clean up any spills promptly.
2 To calculate gallons or liters per minute, multiply the volume dispensed by four. For example:
5 gallons x 4 = 20 gallons per minute.
