When calibrating the pump, it is best to use a head speed setting that is appropriate to the flow rate
you will be operating. For example, if you are planning to set the pump at a flow rate of 60ml/min
then use a rotation speed of 150rpm. If the pump has already been set to the desired flow rate this
will automatically display a suitable head speed for calibration.
If the speed needs adjusting for calibration tap on ‘Rotation’ and enter the speed setting.
Make sure the inlet hose for the pump is submerged and that the outlet hose is directed into a
suitable collection container.
Tap on ‘Start Priming’ to prime the pump head and hose. Once all air has been expelled and the line is
fully primed tap ‘Emptying, click to stop’.
Move the outlet hose into a suitable measuring cylinder.
Set the time for pump calibration by selecting ‘Add time’ and scrolling through to the desired time.
This can be set up to 60 seconds. For increased accuracy, a longer calibration time is best. Please be
aware the measuring cylinder needs to be large enough to hold the volume of the water for the
calibration.
Tap on ‘Start Add’ and the pump will run for the time selected in the previous step.
Once the pump has stopped remove the outlet hose from the measuring cylinder and stand the
measuring cylinder on a flat level surface. Use the scale on the side to determine the volume of liquid.
Enter the volume of liquid collected in ml by tapping in the space next to “Enter volume”.
Select calibration complete at the bottom of the page and the pump will calculate the flow rate from
the time and volume you have entered. The pump is now calibrated.
Manual calibration using the control dial
If the pump is not being controlled via the app calibration can be done using the LCD display and
control dial on the unit.
If the pump is running press the control dial to stop it running.
Turn the control dial to enter the menu on the pump. Scroll the dial until ‘Cal’ is highlighted then
press the control dial.
