Tap on ‘Start Emptying’ 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. For normal calibration, a time of 10-15 seconds is suitable for most general applications.
Tap on ‘Add start’ 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 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 chosen pump head is now calibrated.
Please note the pump is only as accurate as the person completing the calibration. If high accuracy is
needed it is recommended to use a measuring cylinder that can clearly read 0.05ml increments and is
large enough to hold the volume of liquid produced in a full 60 second calibration run.
