1 PURPOSE/DESCRIPTION
• The piston meter - transforms the delivered volume into a rotation of the shaft
• The pulser (MP-T1(CW), MPE-EC, MPE-TC) - converts this rotation into pulses for the
calculator
The following diagram shows the parts of the measurement transducer:-
Pulser
Volume
Meter
Fuel flow
Both pistons transmit it their reciprocating movement to separate crank shafts mounted
perpendicular to the piston stroke. The two crank shafts are linked through a set of gears
to a common drive shaft, onto which the electronic subsystem (the pulser) is mounted.
The pulser is integrated in the top cover of the meter. The pulser converts the rotational
movement of the drive shaft into a highly precise stream of electronic signals, allowing
subsequent calculation of the exact volume of fuel displaced through the TM 80.
Fuel entering the TM 80 flows alternately into one or two chambers (to the front and back
of each piston). The flows are carried out through a sequence of four phases piloted by
the control valve mounted on the drive shaft - refer to section 2.3 for more information.
equal adjustment to both of the calibration screws. These are sealed following calibration
by Weights and Measures officials.
• Control Valve Chamber - the control valve opens and closes the four chambers
for the piston movement
• Gear Chamber - the rotational movement is transmitted to an optical mechanical
totaliser by a worm-driven shaft and to the magnetic wheel of the pulser
• Electronic Chamber - mechanical rotation is transformed into electrical
information
The piston movement is transformed by the two crankshafts and three gear
wheels into a rotation of the main drive shaft. A gear wheel is mounted on the
top end of this shaft. This gear drives both the magnetic wheel shaft and the
totaliser shaft. A mechanical totaliser can be connected directly or via a flexible
cable on each end of the totaliser shaft. The mechanical totaliser counts 10
litres per revolution. The opposite side (or both sides) of this totaliser shaft can
be closed by a plug, which can be sealed. The totaliser shaft is rotated with a
constant ratio of 1:0.05.
The magnetic wheel shaft is driven with a ratio of 1:2.5. A sensor is assembled,
next to the magnetic wheel, to transform the rotation into an electrical signal,
which is transferred to the dispenser calculator. One pulse of this sensor
represents 1 centilitre (cl).

Issue A
This block checks the input and output of the output driver during the 400
microsecond pulse. If the output line is high (idle state) while the input of the
driver is activated, it will send a “not equal” signal to the error block.
The inputs of the comparator used for monitoring lines A and B are provided
with a digital filter which will remove glitches of less than 32 microseconds
from these two signals.
DIGITAL FILTER
This part will remove glitches shorter than 8 microseconds from the sensor
signals.
SEQUENCE DETECTOR
The sequence detector identifies the different movements of the disc by
evaluating the three sensor signals.
TIMER (400μS)
A pulse on the trigger input of the timer will start the one-shot 400 microsecond
timer. During the 400 microseconds, the timer will activate the output driver for

line A (or B). Every 0.5 cl, the timer alternates between lines A and B. Therefore
if there was a pulse on output line A, then 0.5 cl later, it will be followed by a
pulse on output line B and vice versa.
OUTPUT DRIVER
The output driver is required to supply the current needed for the inputs of the
calculator. It also delays the low-to-high transition of the cl pulses on the output
lines A and B. This delay is designed to prevent cross-talk between the two
pulse lines and interference on other lines.
MAGNETIC DISC
The magnetic disc contains one outer ring (divided into 20 north and 20 south
polarised magnetic parts) and one inner ring (divided into 10 north and 10 south
polarised magnetic parts). The disc is driven by the volume meter. A liquid
flow in the forward direction (once the liquid has left the measurement
transducer) will result in a clockwise movement of the disc. A backward liquid
flow will cause the disc to rotate counter-clockwise.
The disc can have small movements (oscillations) in both directions, caused by
vibrations of the MP-T1(CW) pulser. These oscillations will not result in
centilitre pulses on the output of the MP-T1(CW).
COMPARATOR
This block checks the input and output of the output driver during the 400
microsecond pulse. If the output line is high (idle state) while the input of the
driver is activated, it will send a “not equal” signal to the error block.
The inputs of the comparator used for monitoring lines A and B are provided
with a digital filter which will remove glitches of less than 32 microseconds
from these two signals.
ERROR
The signals “overflow”, “sensor defect” and “not equal” are collected here.
When one or more signals are active, the error signal will be activated. This
signal can only be deactivated by switching off the pulser power. When the
error signal is activated, the output driver is disabled, so the output lines become
low.

Phase 1:
• The right hand (RH) piston is against the front stop
• The channels to chamber C and D are closed by the control valve
• The fuel flows into chamber A
• The left hand (LH) piston moves towards chamber B
• The fuel flows out of chamber B to the exit side
Phase 2:
• The channels to the chambers A, B, C and D are opened by the control valve
• The fuel flows into chambers A and C
• The pistons move towards chambers B and D
• The fuel flows from chambers B and D to the exit side
Phase 3:
• The LH piston is against the rear stop
• The channels to chambers A and B are closed by the control valve
• The fuel flows into chamber C
• The RH piston moves towards chamber D
• The fuel flows from chamber D to the exit side
Phase 4:
• The RH piston is against the rear stop
• The channels to chambers C and D are closed by the control valve
• The fuel flows into chamber B
• The LH piston moves towards chamber A
• The fuel flows from chamber A to the exit side
After phase 4, the LH and RH pistons reach the front stops one after the other and phase
1 starts again. The pistons’ movements can be adjusted at the front stops to achieve exact
values in accordance with the approval. Please refer to section 4 for the adjustment
instructions.

NOTE : There must be a minimum clearance around the pulser flamepath of 30mm.
The piston meter is fixed on its inlet flange by two M8 screws and, at the control head inside the
dispenser, by three M6 screws. The screws are evenly spaced, thus allowing three possible
mounting positions offset by 120°.
The entrance and exit flanges of the piston meter are indicated by arrows in the diagram below.
The measurements are according to DIN 5434; ND30.
The control housing (entrance flange) can be moved by 30° increments, in relation to the crank
housing (exit flange). This enables a universal arrangement of the piston meters in the dispenser.
