PRESS RESET SEVERAL SECS
This is how the meter ‚knows‘ that calibration is now 

complete.
Before you press the button, be absolutely sure the 

display shows the correct value (volume of vessel).

Actual value

The meter will now calculate the new USER K FACTOR: This 

may take a couple of secs. depending on the complexity of 

the correction. The arrow will disappear during this phase, 

but the word TOTAL will remain unchanged.
If you carry out this action right after point 5 the new USER 

K FACTOR will be equal to the FACTORY K FACTOR. It will be 

ignored, therefore.

9

NONE
After completion of the calculation the new USER K 

FACTOR will be displayed a few seconds. Next, the meter 

will re-start. Finally, the meter will be back in default 

standby mode.
PLEASE NOTE: From now on, the new value set will be 

used as the new valid K Factor and will remain even 

after replacement of batteries!

10

NONE
The meter stores the new K Factor for operation and is now 

ready for serious operation using the newly set USER K 

FACTOR.

 

6.3.4  Changing the K FACTOR directly

This procedure is helpful for the correction of a mean error that may occur as a result of many output 

operations. In the event you observe a mean percentage error during normal meter operation you may 

carry out a correction by changing the valid User K Factor by that percentage. In order to calculate the 

correction of the USER K FACTOR, proceed as follows:

New calibration factor = old calibration factor x
