ACX6153000004 – Genuine FOTON Pedal Operated Meter | Precision Fuel & Fluid Dispensing Control

Core Function and Operational Principle of ACX6153000004

The ACX6153000004 Pedal Operated Meter is a complete dispensing system that combines a positive displacement flow meter with a foot-operated control valve. When the operator depresses the pedal, it mechanically opens a valve, allowing fluid (such as diesel, gasoline, or oil) to flow from the truck’s storage tank through the meter. The meter’s internal mechanism, typically consisting of precision gears and pistons or rotors, measures the volume of fluid passing through with high accuracy. The measured volume is displayed on a mechanical counter or digital register, often resettable for individual transactions.

This hands-free operation is critical for safety and efficiency. The operator can hold a nozzle and direct the hose with both hands while controlling the flow with their foot, minimizing the risk of spills. The ACX6153000004 system ensures that every liter or gallon dispensed is accurately accounted for, which is essential for cost recovery, inventory control, and compliance with fueling or lubrication logs. It eliminates the guesswork and potential for error associated with manual dipping or timed flow methods.

By providing precise measurement and controlled flow, the ACX6153000004 protects both the asset (the fluid) and the equipment being serviced. Overfilling is prevented, and the exact amount of lubricant or fuel needed can be dispensed, reducing waste and environmental impact. Its reliability makes it a cornerstone for professional mobile service operations based on FOTON truck chassis.

Key Features and Benefits of Part ACX6153000004

Beyond these core features, the ACX6153000004 is designed with serviceability in mind. It often includes built-in strainers to protect the meter from debris, and the internal measuring chamber can be accessed for cleaning or maintenance. The pedal mechanism is built for durability, with a strong return spring and sealed bearings to operate smoothly in dusty or wet conditions. For fleet managers, the ACX6153000004 provides a verifiable audit trail of fluid usage, which is invaluable for controlling operational costs and preventing unauthorized use.

Technical Specifications: ACX6153000004 Pedal Operated Meter

The table below details the key technical and operational parameters for the ACX6153000004. These specifications are essential for system integrators and mechanics to ensure correct application and performance.

Note: Specifications for the ACX6153000004 can vary based on the specific fluid application (fuel vs. oil). Always confirm the exact model configuration and material compatibility using your vehicle’s VIN or official FOTON auxiliary equipment documentation.

Applications and Integration for ACX6153000004

The ACX6153000004 Pedal Operated Meter is designed for integration into FOTON truck-based mobile service and utility vehicles. Its primary application is in mobile refueling trucks (bowsers) used to service construction equipment, agricultural machinery, or other fleet vehicles in the field. It is equally critical in lubrication trucks that provide on-site oil changes and greasing services. The ACX6153000004 can also be found on specialized service vehicles that dispense hydraulic fluid, coolant, or windshield washer fluid.

This system is vital for operations where accurate billing, inventory control, and efficient service are paramount. By using the ACX6153000004, a service truck operator can quickly and accurately dispense the exact amount of fluid required, whether it’s 200 liters of diesel for an excavator or 20 liters of specific engine oil. The hands-free pedal operation significantly speeds up the process compared to manual valve systems, allowing the operator to manage the hose and communicate with the customer simultaneously.

Integration typically involves mounting the ACX6153000004 unit on the vehicle’s service body, connecting it via hoses to the main fluid storage tank and to a dispensing reel with nozzle. It may be used with or without an auxiliary transfer pump, depending on the tank design. The precise placement of the pedal is ergonomically designed for easy access by the operator standing at the side of the truck. Correct installation of the ACX6153000004 is key to its accuracy and longevity.

Installation, Calibration & Maintenance Guidelines

Installation Overview: Installing the ACX6153000004 requires mechanical and fluid handling expertise. The unit must be securely mounted on a stable platform on the truck’s body, aligned with the operator’s normal working position. Fluid connections must be made using compatible hoses and fittings, ensuring there are no leaks. The inlet should be connected to the fluid source (tank outlet or pump), and the outlet to the dispensing hose reel. The pedal must be positioned for comfortable operation and securely fastened. All connections should be pressure-tested before use.

Calibration and Verification: For accurate measurement, the ACX6153000004 must be calibrated for the specific fluid being dispensed (viscosity affects meter accuracy). Initial calibration involves dispensing a known volume (e.g., from a certified measuring container) and adjusting the meter’s internal gearing or using a calibration factor if electronic. Regular verification against a master meter or calibrated container is recommended as part of a quality assurance program, especially if the meter is used for commercial transactions.

Routine Maintenance: To maintain the accuracy and reliability of the ACX6153000004, regular maintenance is essential. This includes periodically checking and cleaning the inlet strainer to prevent clogging. The meter’s internal mechanism should be kept clean; for some fluids, periodic flushing with a solvent may be necessary. Inspect the pedal linkage for wear and lubricate pivot points as needed. Check for leaks at all connections and the meter shaft seals. If accuracy drifts beyond acceptable limits, the meter may need professional recalibration or seal kit replacement. Always follow the fluid manufacturer’s guidelines for handling and disposal.

Why Choose the Genuine ACX6153000004 Over Generic Dispensing Meters?

Selecting the authentic ACX6153000004 Pedal Operated Meter guarantees a component designed and tested to integrate seamlessly with FOTON vehicle systems and meet the durability demands of mobile service. Generic meters may not offer the same level of accuracy, robust construction for vehicular vibration, or the specific pedal ergonomics designed for truck-mounted use. The materials in the genuine ACX6153000004 are selected for compatibility with specific fuels and lubricants, preventing degradation and leaks.

For fleet and service companies, using the documented part number ACX6153000004 ensures consistency, simplifies parts sourcing, and provides access to accurate technical specifications for installation. The genuine meter is likely certified for trade use (where applicable), providing legal assurance for billing transactions. Its design also considers serviceability, with available seal kits and calibration support from the FOTON network.

Economically, the initial investment in the genuine ACX6153000004 is justified by its long-term accuracy and reliability. Inaccurate metering leads to financial loss through unaccounted fluid or customer disputes. Downtime due to meter failure on a critical service vehicle can be far more costly than the meter itself. The ACX6153000004 provides peace of mind, operational efficiency, and professional credibility for any business operating a FOTON-based service truck.
