Burn Rate Meter Application

Overview
Note: For service instructions, refer to the Cat Service Information System and to Special Instructions
NEHS0776, using the Cat 179-0710 Burn Rate Fuel Flow Measurement System.
(1) Application Manager Screen; Burn Rate Application.
The Burn Rate Meter application is used with the 368-9911 Burn Rate Meter Group to accurately
measure fuel consumption and performance on small and medium Cat diesel engines.
The burn rate meter uses one positive displacement flowmeter, making it more accurate than a two-
meter system. Problems with air bubbles in the return fuel are eliminated because the return fuel flow
is not measured by the flowmeter.
The Burn Rate Meter is powered from the machine's 24 VDC batteries. An optional 12 – 24 V power
converter is available for vehicles with 12 V electrical systems.
The 368-9911 Burn Rate Meter Group has an operating range of 4 to 260 Lph (1.05 to 69 gph) burn
rate and is designed to work with 3116, 3126, 3176, 3208, 3304, 3306, 3406, and 3408 Engines. This
system is not recommended for electronic engines larger than 3408 because of fuel line restriction, but
can be used for mechanical 3412 Engines with lower fuel flow circulation.
The 179-0700 Burn Rate Meter consists of three (3) parts: a positive displacement fuel meter, an
electric fuel pump, and a heat exchanger. The burn rate meter has two fuel loops: the cooling fuel loop
(Loop 1) and the engine fuel loop (Loop 2). See Burn Rate Meter Flow Diagram.
The cooling fuel loop (Loop 1) is powered by an electric fuel pump in the burn rate meter. This pump
circulates fuel from the fuel tank, through the heat exchanger, and back to the fuel tank. This loop
runs continuously and is used to cool the engine return fuel.
The engine fuel loop (Loop 2) supplies fuel to the engine (supply fuel) and then recirculates unburned
fuel. The warm, unburned fuel from the engine (return fuel) travels through the heat exchanger to be
cooled. The cooled fuel is routed back to the engine and recirculated. The fuel pump of the engine
keeps fuel Loop 2 circulating continuously.
As the engine operates and burns fuel, Loop 2 becomes depleted of fuel and must draw fuel from
Loop 1. The positive displacement fuel meter measures fuel traveling from Loop 1 to Loop 2. This
fuel measurement is converted to a calibrated signal (pulses per liter, or PPL), which represents the
burn rate.
Multi-Tool
The Multi-Tool connects to the 179-0700 Burn Rate Meter and is powered using 368-9913 Cable (or
368-9907 cable on 12 VDC vehicle systems).
System calibration is obtained by setting the pulses/liter field within the Burn Rate Meter application.
Refer to the "Set PPG/PPL" section. The calibration number stamped on the 179-0700 Burn Rate
Meter must match the application setting. The application default is 800 pulses/liter. If the calibration
tag on the meter is other than 800 pulse/liter, the setting must be changed within the Multi-Tool
application, otherwise readings will not be accurate.
Electronic circuits in the Multi-Tool measure fuel pulses and temperature from the burn rate meter. A
semiconductor device attached to the fuel meter measures the fuel temperature and compensates for
the change in volume of diesel fuel as the fuel changes temperature. There are 3 filter settings: High
rate (1 second average), medium rate (5 second average), and slow rate (10 second average). Longer
averages are recommended for low flow rates and shorter averages for higher flow rates.

injury, or death.
Installation Instructions
NOTICE
Always connect fuel lines before applying power to the burn rate
system. The built-in electric fuel pump could spray fuel from an open
hose and cause fire or personal injury.
NOTICE
Clean all dirt and contamination from the fitting areas where the fuel
lines will be disconnected. Do not allow any dirt to enter the lines.
Install the appropriate hoses and fittings and tighten so fittings will not
leak.
Use this procedure to connect the burn rate meter into the engine fuel system. Although every engine
installation cannot be covered here, this procedure is the basic connection method for the burn rate
meter. Refer to Burn Rate Meter Flow Diagram during the installation procedure. This illustration
shows the burn rate meter installed in the best location. The "From Tank" connection is the most
important connection. This is where fuel is supplied to the entire system and should be free from air
bubbles and pressure pulses.
1. The "From Tank" line of the burn rate meter must be connected a) directly to the fuel tank and
b) before the engine fuel pump.
Note: Do not connect the "From Tank" line of the burn rate meter after the output of a gear or
piston-type transfer fuel pump. The fuel pump of the engine circulates fuel through the engine
and the heat exchanger of the burn rate meter. Connecting the burn rate meter after the fuel
transfer pump will not allow fuel to circulate through the engine.
2. Select the required hoses and fittings from the hose adapter group to make the necessary
connections.
Note: The hose adapter group includes standard 37 degree flare fittings and O-ring face seal
adapters. Special fittings may be required for some installations.
3. Close the fuel shut-off valve at the fuel tank. Use 6V-7555 Tie Straps through the handle and
around the body to mount the burn rate meter (two mounting screws on the rear of the meter are
also available). The meter should be upright, with the carrying handle on top, when being
operated.
Note: The meter can be tipped 30 degrees from an upright position and still work properly.
Engines with Only Supply Fuel Flow Lines (No Return Fuel Flow Lines)
I applications where only one fuel line exists, such as in older engines, use this procedure.
1. Install a cap on the "From Engine" fitting of the burn rate meter.
2. The "To Tank" line on the burn rate meter must return to the fuel tank. Since a "To Tank" line
on the equipment probably does not exist and must be provided, run the "To Tank" line into the
fuel tank fill opening of the equipment. Take steps to make sure that the " To Tank " line cannot
come loose and leak fuel or allow dirt into the fuel tank of the equipment.
Fuel Tank
Heat from the engine fuel system is transferred to the fuel tank. To ensure that the engine fuel does
not overheat always keep the fuel tank at least one-third full of fuel. For best results, fill the fuel tank
before testing.

Checking the Operation of the Burn Rate System
Use the following procedure to check the operation of the burn rate meter, burn rate computer, and
cables. This procedure checks:
• the built-in electric fuel pump.
• the positive displacement fuel meter.
• the temperature sensor.
• the Multi-Tool
• the cable.
Note: This procedure is a functional check only and is not a calibration check.
1. Unscrew (counterclockwise) and fill the fuel filter with diesel fuel. Reinstall the fuel filter, hand
-tighten only.
2. Install and tighten a #8 JIC hose (a short hose works best) between the "From Tank" fitting and
"To Engine" fitting. The "To Tank" and "From Engine" fittings must be capped.
3. Make sure that the calibration setting is correct. See "Set PPG/PPL" section in this manual.
4. Connect the 368-9913 Cable between the 179-0700 Burn Rate Meter and the Multi-Tool.
Note: Ensure that all fuel line connections are securely attached because the built-in electric
fuel pump could spray fuel from an open hose and cause a fire or personal injury.
5. Connect the battery clamps to a battery with 11 to 32 V DC (using 368-9907 if below 24 V

DC). The electric fuel pump in the burn rate meter will start and the hoses will begin filling
with fuel.
6. Check all hoses and fittings for leaks. The electric fuel pump makes leaky fittings easy to find
as it pressurizes the fuel system.
7. Start the Burn Rate Meter Application from the Multi-Tool. Ensure if connected to Channels 3
and 4, Engine 1 is displayed or if connected to Channels 1 and 2, Engine 2 is displayed.
Note: The Multi-Tool fuel flow display should now be indicating a burn rate of about 166 Lph
(44 gph) as the built-in electric pump circulates fuel through the flowmeter.
8. The fuel temperature should be close to the temperature of the fuel poured into the filter in Step
1.

Electronic Position Indicator Application

Overview
Note: For service information, refer to the Cat Service Information System and to the Special
Instruction SEHS8623, Using the 8T-1000 Position Indicator Group.
(1) Electronic Position Indicator Application.
The Electronic Position Indicator application is used with the 285-0898 Position Indicator Cable
Group to function as a precision measuring gauge for reading both static and dynamic measurements.
Depending on selections made with the function keys, the application displays either positive (+) or
negative (-) digital readings, as either inches or millimeters, for a selected channel. The digital
readings include actual, maximum, minimum, and difference readings.
The application also displays a graph of the actual readings and has functions for changing the
sampling rate and setting a "zero" point, which sets the actual reading to zero (0) at a selected point on
a probe.
The Electronic Position Indicator application replaces mechanical dial indicators. The application has
a special electronic filter to stabilize dynamic readings. Therefore, the application can be used for
tests that may fail when using mechanical dial indicators, such as tests with rapidly changing dynamic
readings.
The application can also be used to monitor the position of the fuel injection pump rack on an
operating engine in order to test the fuel setting of the engine with a load.
In addition, with the 8T-1002 Probe (part of the 285-0898 Position Indicator Cable Group) installed
on a test stand, the Multi-Tool Electronic Position Indicator application can be used as a permanent
installation for testing and calibrating fuel injection pumps.

Electronic Position Indicator Basic Procedures

Probe Assembly
The 8T-1002 Position Indicator Probe (in the 285-0898 Position Indicator Cable Group), is the
standard probe for the Electronic Position Indicator application. The probe mounts in the same
manner as a mechanical dial indicator and uses many of the same mounting fixtures.
Position Indicator Probe Assembly. (1) 8T-1002 Position Indicator Probe. (2) Probe Shaft. (3) Contact Point.
The position indicator probe (1) has a standard 9.52 mm (0.375 in) diameter mounting stem. Always
use this stem to mount the probe.
Install a correct length contact point (3) in the probe shaft (2) and finger-tighten.
Note: The probe shaft (2) has AGD 4-48 internal threads that accept most standard dial indicator tips,
such as those in the 6V-6042 Probe Contact Point Group.
Connect the 8T-1002 Probe to a channel connector on the Multi-Tool DIM. If necessary, use the 6V-
2198 Extension Cable.
NOTICE
When removing a contact point (tip) from the probe shaft, if a clamp is
required to keep the shaft from rotating, protect the shaft with a cloth
and use extreme care not to scratch the shaft.
Do not submerge the probe in any liquid or place it in the direct spray
of any liquid. The probe is not sealed. If fluid gets inside the probe
case, it can affect the operation or accuracy of the probe.
Keep the probe shaft clean; dirt on the shaft can enter the shaft
bearing and keep the shaft from operating freely. Wipe it with a clean,
soft cloth and apply a small amount of thin lubricating oil.
Measuring Values

1. Assemble the probe as described in the previous column.
2. Make the initial Multi-Tool settings by using the function keys.
3. Position the probe at the testing location.
4. The Multi-Tool position reading displays the distance the probe shaft has moved from the
electrical zero point.
• If NORM RATE is selected, a new reading is taken three times a second.
• If SLOW RATE is selected, a new reading is taken once every second. The slow rate helps to
stabilize the readings when taking rapidly changing dynamic readings.
Measuring Deviation
1. Use the steps in the previous section to set up the probe and Multi-Tool.
2. Set the probe to display 0.00 at the zero reference point of the part or position to be measured
by using the More function key, Zero option.
3. Move the probe to the measurement point on the part. The Multi-Tool displays the reading of
the point being measured.
4. Select Clear from the Screen function key to reset the readings.
5. The Max (1) and Min (2) readings display the reading of the point measured in Step 3 and the
Diff (3) reading displays 0.00.
(1) Max (maximum). (2) Min (minimum). (3) DIFF (difference).
6. As the probe moves, the Max and Min readings display the highest and lowest values of probe
travel and the Diff reading displays the total distance of probe travel (deviation).
NOTICE
Do not force the probe shaft past the normal 24.5 mm (1 in) range of
travel. Damage to the probe can result from exceeding probe travel
limits.

injury, or death.
Diesel Fuel System Connection
When installing the 8T-5301 Diesel Engine Timing Group, a fuel injection transducer T-adapter must
be installed in the injection line AT THE FUEL PUMP to keep the fuel lines from moving
excessively. With the transducer tee installed, the injection line will move only about 8mm (0.3 in),
which will keep movement of fuel lines to a minimum.
NOTICE
Do not use the 6V-4950 Fuel Line Speed Pickup with the Multi-Tool.
The Multi Tool is not designed for this tool.
NOTICE
Do not expose the Multi-Tool to liquids. Liquids can enter the tool and
cause damage. Flammable liquids can cause an explosion, resulting in
serious injury.
Static Timing
Most current production Cat diesel engines are equipped with a timing pin hole in the flywheel
housing and a corresponding hole in the flywheel. When the two holes are aligned, the piston for the
number 1 cylinder is at the top center (TC) position.
For static timing, when the flywheel housing and flywheel holes are aligned, a bolt can be inserted
through the flywheel housing hole and threaded into the flywheel hole to lock the engine at the TC
position.
Dynamic Timing
Note: To prevent inaccurate signals, make sure that the flywheel is free of any large nicks or holes
between the time of fuel injection (or spark plug firing) and TC positioning.
For dynamic timing, the 285-0897 Mag Engine Timing Group is used with either the 6V-9060 Gas
Engine Timing Group for testing a gas engine or the 8T-5301 Diesel Engine Timing Group for testing
a diesel engine.
The Mag Engine Timing Group connects to the flywheel housing timing pin hole on a gas or diesel
engine and to the audio jack on the back of the Multi-Tool DIM.
The 6V-9060 Gas Engine Timing Group connects to the number one primary coil winding on a gas
engine and to any of the four channels on the Multi-Tool.
The 8T-5301 Diesel Engine Timing Group connects to the number one fuel injection pump on a diesel
engine and to any of the four channels on the Multi-Tool.
To install the 285-0896 Mag Engine Timing Group, install the correct transducer adapter in the
flywheel housing timing pin hole and then connect the 6V-2197 Mag Transducer (or optional
transducer) to the adapter.
Connect the 5P-7362 Signal Cable Assembly to the Mag transducer and to the audio jack on the back
of the Multi-Tool DIM.
Note: Begin with a transducer/flywheel gap of 2.54 mm (0.10 in).
DIM Audio Jack Location
The magnetic transducer creates a magnetic field around the end of the transducer at the flywheel
housing timing pin hole.
With the engine running, as the flywheel turns, the flywheel hole passes the end of the transducer,
changes the magnetic field, and causes the transducer to send a top center (TC) signal to the Multi-
Tool.
Depending on the Engine Timing Group being used (6V-9060 Gas Engine Timing Group or the 8T-
5301 Diesel Engine Timing Group), the Multi-Tool receives the spark (gas engines) or fuel injection
(diesel engines) signal and then receives the TC signal from the Mag Transducer.
Note: The first signal from the mag transducer is considered the #1 cylinder TC signal.
The Multi-Tool Engine Timing Indicator application receives the fuel spark or injection signals
(pulses) and converts their frequency to engine speed (RPM). It measures the time between the
number one cylinder spark or fuel injection signal and the TC signal and converts it to engine timing
degrees (DEG), before top center (BTC).
Note: After the Multi-Tool receives the spark or fuel injection signal, it must receive the TC signal
within 60 degrees of flywheel rotation. If the Multi-Tool receives the TC signal after 60 degrees of
flywheel rotation, the Engine Timing reading is incorrect and displays as a steady number between 60
and 90 degrees.
With the engine running, the Multi-Tool Engine Timing Indicator screen displays the RPM and
Engine Timing readings. The MAG indicator displays either MAG:Adjust or MAG:OK as follows:
• MAG:Adjust means the distance between the transducer and the flywheel is not correct and the
magnetic signal at the transducer is bad. Adjust the distance between the transducer and the
flywheel.
Note: The transducer too far away from the flywheel causes a weak signal. The transducer too close
causes noise and false triggering.
Note: If the engine is not running, the word Adjust flashes.
(1) MAG: Adjust Indicator. (2) Log Data Point Message.
Note: Optionally, use the ENTER key to add data points to the graph, one at a time. Press the ENTER
key for each point to add. Use the Clear function key to remove data points.
• MAG:OK means the distance between the transducer and the flywheel is correct and the
magnetic signal at the transducer is good.
(1) MAG: OK Indicator.
Make sure MAG:OK displays at both low and high engine speeds (RPMs). If necessary, adjust the
distance between the transducer and the flywheel so that MAG:OK displays at all speeds.
Fuel Flow Application

Overview
Note: For service instructions, refer to the Cat Service Information System and to the following
Special Instructions: Using the Cat Fuel Com Fuel Flow Measurement System and NEHS0740, Using
the Cat 168-7740 (Fuel Com) Fuel Flow System for 3600 Engines.
(1) Application Manager Screen, Fuel Flow Application.
The Fuel Flow application is used with the dual-turbine fuel flowmeters and cables in the 308-7271
Fuel Flow Group and the hoses in the 308-7275 Hose Group to measure diesel engine fuel
consumption and performance.
The Multi-Tool DIM provides for connecting up to four flowmeters using a one or two-meter system:
In a one-meter system, a flowmeter is connected to only the fuel supply line of one engine (or two
engines using two flowmeters). In a two-meter system, a separate flowmeter is connected to each of
the supply and return fuel lines of an engine (or two engines using four flowmeters).
The Fuel Flow application displays fuel flow data for either one or two engines. For each engine, the
application displays the supply and return fuel flow rates and the calculated burn rate (temperature-
corrected). For one-meter systems (measuring supply fuel flow only), the burn rate is equal to the
supply fuel flow (because return fuel flow is zero). For two-meter systems, the burn rate is calculated
as the supply fuel flow minus the return fuel flow.
Depending on selections made with the function keys, the Fuel Flow application displays fuel flow
readings and burn rates as SAE gallons per hour (GPH) or Metric liters per hour (LPH), displays
totals or averages for fuel flow readings based on either run time or elapsed time, and displays data
for either one or two engines at a time. The application also displays a graph of the fuel burn rates and
has a function for setting meter configurations for use of various meters.
In addition to the 308-7273 Dual-Turbine Flowmeters, the Fuel Flow application also works with the
179-0700 Burn Rate Meter or with several other flowmeters, described later in this section.

injury, or death.
Fuel Flow Meter Screen
The Fuel Flow Meter screen has a title bar at the top, a burn rate / fuel flow display area in the middle,
Title Bar
Burn Rate / Fuel Flow Display Area
The burn rate / fuel flow display area contains either one or two panels that display calculated burn
rates and fuel flow readings based on selections made with the function keys. The top half of each
panel displays the burn rates and fuel flow readings. The bottom half of each panel displays a burn
rate graph.
Fuel Flow Meter Screen: One Engine Panel Display, Metric (LPH), Slow Rate.
Fuel Flow Meter Screen: Two Engine Panel Display, SAE (GPH), Normal Rate.
Panel (Engine) Labels (1)
Display the name of each panel. The names are factory-set at Engine 1 and Engine 2, but can be
customized by using the More function key- Set Label option.
Data Rate (2)
Displays the data update rate set by using the More function key options: Norm Rate, Med Rate, and
Slow Rate.
Arrows appear on the left and right side of the screen when the screen is set to display one engine
panel at a time by using the Screen function key, 1-Engine option. The arrows indicate another panel
is available for viewing. Use the LEFT and RIGHT Direction keys to display the other panel.
Burn Rate (4)
For each engine panel, displays the calculated burn rate and the measurement units. GPH (gallons per
hour) indicates the More function key, SAE option is selected. LPH (liters per hour) indicates the
More function key, Metric option is selected.
Note: The burn rate is generally calculated as the supply fuel flow minus the return fuel flow,
temperature-corrected (see Item 7, Channel Fuel Flow Readings). When measuring only supply fuel
flow, the burn rate equals the supply fuel flow (because the return fuel flow is zero).
Totals, Averages, Time (5)
When the screen is set to display one engine panel (using the Screen function key, 1-Engine option),
the screen displays engine fuel flow totals on the left side and averages on the right side based on
settings made with the Engine 1 and Engine 2 function keys.
When the screen is set to display two engine panels (using the Screen function key, 2-Engine option),
the screen displays either fuel flow totals or averages for each engine based on settings made with the
Engine 1 and Engine 2 function keys.
See the Fuel Flow Function Keys section for more information.
Channel Labels (6)
Displays the color and name of each channel. The names are factory-set as CH1:Return (yellow) and
CH2:Supply (green) for Engine 2 and CH3:Return (blue) and CH4:Supply (red) for Engine 1, but can
be customized by using the More function key, Set Label option.
Channel (Fuel Flow) Readings (7)
For each channel, displays the fuel flow reading or a red, flashing Under or Over Flow message.
An Under Flow message appears if the fuel flow reading is less than the minimum flow requirements
for the flowmeter.
An Over Flow message appears if the fuel flow reading exceeds the capacity of the flowmeter.
If a channel does not have a flowmeter connected to it, a zero flow rate is assumed and the fuel flow
reading displays as 0.0.
When using a single meter system (there is not a flowmeter attached to the return fuel line), the
Return fuel flow reading must be 0.0 for the burn rate to calculate correctly.
Burn Rate Graph (8)
For each engine, displays the burn rate as a line graph with labels. The line graph can be reset by
using the Screen function key, Clear option.
Fuel Flow Function Keys
The bottom of the Fuel Flow Meter screen displays four function keys that are used to control the Fuel
Flow application.

Fuel Flow Tool Groups
The Fuel Flow application works with the flowmeters and cables in the 308-7271 Fuel Flow Group
and the hoses in the 308-7275 Hose / Adapter Group.
Optionally, the Fuel Flow application works with the 179-0700 Burn Rate Meter and 179-0701 Burn
Rate Meter Computer or with the following discontinued fuel flowmeters: 154-8103, 154-8104, 168-
7735, and 168-7745. See the Optional Fuel Flow Tools section.
308-7271 Fuel Flow Group
The 308-7273 Dual-Turbine Flowmeters in the 308-7271 Fuel Flow Group have an extremely wide
flow range of 190 to 14762 liters per hour (50 to 3900 gallons per hour). They are not sensitive to
flow direction and do not require straightener tubes or accumulators. They also have built-in screens
to protect the turbines from contamination in the fuel lines.
These flowmeters, which are powered by the Multi-Tool, output frequency signals that represent
temperature-corrected volumetric flow. The Multi-Tool Fuel Flow application receives and interprets
these frequency signals and displays both live readings and accumulated data.

Description / Function: Cylindrical body with fittings on each end and a cable connector on one
side. The fittings are for connecting the hoses to the fuel lines and the cable connector is for
connecting the cable to the Multi-Tool DIM. Each flowmeter has a computer, a thermistor
temperature sensor, and two internal rotors (turbines). As fuel flows through the body of the
flowmeter, the sensor reads fuel "pulses" from the turbines and sends data to the computer. The
computer linearizes and temperature-corrects the pulses and sends the data to the Multi-Tool
through the cable connection.
Note: The 308-7273 dual-turbine flowmeters replace discontinued flowmeters 154, 8103, 154-8104,
168-7735, and 168-7745.

injury, or death.
Diesel Fuel System Connection
Explosion hazard
Do not expose the Multi-Tool to liquids. Liquids can enter the tool and cause damage.
Flammable liquids can cause an explosion, resulting in serious injury.
Pressurized air
Always connect and leak-test all flowmeter and fuel line connections before beginning tests. An
electric fuel pump could spray fuel from an open hose and cause fire or personal injury.
The Multi-Tool DIM provides for connecting up to four flowmeters using a one- or two-meter
system:
• In a one-meter system, a flowmeter is connected to only the fuel supply line of an engine (or
two engines using two flowmeters).
• In a two-meter system, a separate flowmeter is connected to each of the supply and return fuel
lines of an engine (or two engines using four flowmeters).
The following illustration shows the use of a two-meter system on one engine.
Use the correct hoses from the 308-7275 Hose / Adapter Group to connect the 308-7273 Dual Turbine
Flowmeters to the fuel lines.
Engine Fuel Flow, Two-Meter System: (1) Dual-Turbine Flowmeter. (2) Diesel Fuel Tank. (3) Primary Filter. (4) Fuel
Transfer Pump. (5) Fuel Filter. (6) Fuel Supply Line. (7) Fuel Injection Pump. (8) Fuel Return Line. (Arrows indicate the
direction of fuel flow.)
Notices
NOTICE
Flowmeters have protective end caps. Remove the end caps before use.
After use, ALWAYS drain the fuel from the flowmeters and replace
the end caps.
NOTICE
Flowmeters do not require a rinse. NEVER use or rinse water in a

flowmeter.
NOTICE
DO NOT apply pressurized air though a flow-meter. Damage to the

turbine bearings may result.
Connect each flowmeter to the Multi-Tool DIM using a 308-7274 Cable:
• For a one-meter system, connect the flowmeter to either Channel 2 (green) or Channel 4 (red).
• For a two-meter system, connect the supply line flowmeter to Channel 2 (green) and the return
line flowmeter to Channel 1 (yellow), or connect the supply line flowmeter to Channel 4 (red)
and the return line flowmeter to Channel 3 (blue).
After making the connections, start the Multi-Tool Fuel Flow application and use the function keys to
set up and control the fuel flow testing. See the Fuel Flow Function Keys section.
Two-Meter System Accuracy Formula
The accuracy / error of a two-meter system depends on the amount of fuel burned by the engine in
relation to the amount of fuel returned to the tank. As the engine burns less fuel and more fuel returns
to the tank, the accuracy decreases (error increases).
Use the following formula to calculate the worst-case error for any supply-to-return-rate reading
combination:
[(0.5 x Supply Rate) + (0.5 × Return Rate)] ÷ Burn Rate = ± Percent of Reading Maximum Error
For example, If:
Supply Rate = 2271 Lph (600 gph),
Return Rate = 1135 Lph (300gph), and
Burn Rate = 1135 Lph (300gph)
Note: In this example the Burn Rate is 1/2 the Supply Rate.
Then:
[(.5 × 600 gph) + (.5 × 300 gph)] ÷ 300 = ±1.5% of Reading Maximum Error,
or
300 + 150 (= 450) ÷ 300 = ±1.5% of Reading Maximum Error.

Pressure Meter Application

Overview
The 368-9914 Digital Pressure Group uses sensors and cables to allow technicians to take remote
measurements from the system being tested. The pressure meter reads pressure in SAE units of
pounds per square inch (PSI) or metric units of kilo-Pascals (kPa). To obtain units of Bar, remove two
zeros from the end of the kPa reading. (For example 3500 kPa = 35 Bar). The CAT Multi-Tool allows
four channels to be monitored simultaneously. The Multi-Tool tracks each sensor's maximum and
minimum pressures or can display the instantaneous differential pressure between two sensors.
The pressure meter applies a zero function when pressure sensors are connected to the tool. When
connecting the pressure sensors, it is important the sensor is removed from the vehicle and is in
atmospheric air pressure. Failure to do so will result in incorrect readings. Follow the instructions on
the screen to zero the sensor.
If multiple sensors are connected to the tool at one time, one "zeroing" will zero all new sensors.
Sensors previously connected and zeroed will not be affected by zeroing the new sensors.
Pressure Pickup Sensors
The 376-4170 Blue Pressure Pickup Sensor is used to measure pressure from 0 to 3,500 kPa (0 to 500
psi). The 376-4171 Red Pressure Pickup Sensor is used to measure pressure from 0 to 41,300 kPa (0
to 6,000 psi).The 376-4172 Orange Pressure Pickup Sensor is used to measure pressure from 0 to
70,000 kPa (0 to 10,000 psi).
Note: The 376-4170 Blue Pressure Pickup Sensor will display pressure in tenths of a PSI (kPA) when
the pressure is 0-99 PSI (0-999 kPA).
Note: The 376-4170, 376-4171 and 376-4172 Pressure Pickup Sensors can only be used with the 386-
9910 Multi-Tool (or earlier Multi-Tools that have been upgraded using the 386-5908 kit).
Pressure pickup sensors are temperature sensitive. Whenever possible, the pressure pickup sensor
should be allowed to warm up to the system temperature. Install the pressure pickup sensors into the
test ports of the machine approximately 5 minutes prior to running a test. Zero the sensors before
starting the test.
