If your sensor does not show an
FD
value, contact customer service.
If your sensor tag does not show a
DT
or
TC
value, enter the last 4 characters of the density calibration factor.
In the sample tag shown above, the value is shown as 4.44.
Do not confuse the
Meter Factor
line on the pictured sensor tag with any meter factor settings discussed in
this manual.

Perform Zero Verify
Verifying the zero helps you determine if the stored zero value is appropriate to your installation, or if a field
zero can improve measurement accuracy.
Important
In most cases, the factory zero is more accurate than the field zero. Do not zero the meter unless one of the
following is true:
•
The zero is required by site procedures.
•
The stored zero value fails the zero verification procedure.
