Description of Calibration Values
20
Use the green Standby knob to test the direct pump output when adjusting the Max DC
value. If the loop mode is set to Closed and a direct flowmeter is installed on the system,
the current direct flowmeter frequency will also be shown on the screen to assist with
adjustments.
If Config → Application Mode is set to Gran/Dir 3 Lane or Direct 3 Lane, the left, center,
and right lanes can be turned on an off using the first three switches.
Max Hertz
The Max Hertz menu item sets the max hertz measured when the direct pump is run at
its fastest rate. Max Hertz is used in closed mode, and should be configured as
accurately as possible. This value is automatically updated from the last value measured
in the Max DC screen. The default value is 175 Hertz.
Anti-Ice
The Anti-Ice menu allows you to configure settings for the Anti-Ice material. If Config →
Application Mode is set to Granular or Anti-Ice is not selected as one of the available direct liquid
types in the Direct Type options, this menu will be disabled.
Name
The Name menu item allows you to set a custom name for the direct material, such as
“DIR” or “CACL”. A maximum of 5 characters can be used in the material name. This
name will appear on the Operation Screen when direct is enabled. The default value is
DIR.
AutoCal
The AutoCal menu item allows you to calibrate your displacement if your system is
closed loop and full speed displacement rate for the direct liquid by measuring liquid
dispensed. For more information on how to use AutoCal, please see AutoCalibration of a
Direct Liquid on page 42.
Using the AutoCal menu item will change the value of the Displacement and Full Speed
Displacement Rate menu items. Further refinement can be done by manually changing
the Displacement or Full Speed Displacement Rate menu items.
Displacement
The Displacement menu item allows you to set the amount of pulses generated by the
direct sensor when displacing one gallon of material. This pulses per gallon or pulses per
liter unit may be listed on your direct sensor’s specification sheet or listed on an attached
tag as a “K-Factor”. The default displacement value is 100.0 pulses per gallon or 26.4
pulses per liter. If this value is not known it can be determined using the built in AutoCal
feature. For more information see see AutoCalibration of a Direct Liquid on page 42.
The Displacement menu item will not be available if the Loop Mode menu item is set to
Open.
Calculating Direct Displacement Using SSC5100 Calibration Values
If you know your direct sensor’s pulses per revolution and your direct pump’s output
ounces or milliliters per revolution, use the equations below to calculate the appropriate
pulses per gallon or pulses per liter value.
