Calibrating the Meter

NOTE:

  This unit has been calibrated at the factory to

dispense lubricating oils; it should not require addi-
tional calibration during installation.  If this unit will be
used to dispense antifreeze, and accuracy must be
greater than plus or minus 2 percent, it is recom-
mended that you use a calibration factor of 7230.

You must ground yourself to a true earth ground
while calibrating the meter.  You must keep
yourself constantly grounded when you touch
any electronic components inside the cover of
the dispense valve.  To order a grounding wrist
strap, order Part No. 112190.

CAUTION

This is the procedure for calibrating the meter and
setting whether the display counts up from zero or
down from the predetermined amount in Auto Alarm
mode.

NOTE: 

 All units count up from zero in Standard mode.

See 

Calculating the Calibration Factor

 on page 12

for instructions on assessing the accuracy of the meter
and calculating the proper calibration factor.

1.

Remove the six screws (21) (see the 

Parts Draw-

ing

 on page 21) that hold the two halves of the

cover together, and open the unit to gain access to
the Calibration button.

2.

Locate the calibration button inside the unit, as
shown in Fig. 5.

3.

Press the Calibration button.

The calibration factor is shown on the display, as
shown below.

06044

CAL

Maximum Working Pressure: 70 bar (1000 PSI)

Min. Dispense Volume

0.5  liter

(0.13 gal)

Minimum Flow Rate

1.0 l/min.

(0.26 gpm)

Maximum Flow Rate

15.0 l/min.

(3.26 gpm)

4.

Press the Calibration button again.

The first digit blinks, which indicates that you can
change it.

5.

Press the 10, 1.0, and 0.1 buttons to advance the
blinking digits until the calibration factor is set to
the desired amount.  Pressing any other button will
clear the calibration display without saving.

6.

Press the Calibration button again.

The next digit blinks, which indicates that you can
change it.

7.

Repeat steps 5 and 6 until all the digits are set.

Steps 8 through 10 are the the 

UP On / UPOFF

Selection Procedure

.

When all the digits are set in step 7, above, either

UP On

 or 

UPOFF

 is shown on the display.  In UP On

mode, the unit counts up from zero during an Auto
Alarm dispense cycle.  In UPOFF mode, the unit
counts down from the predetermined amount during an
Auto Alarm mode dispense cycle.

8.

Press the 10, 1.0, or 0.1 button to toggle between
UP On mode and UPOFF mode.

9.

Press the Calibration button again.

The unit returns to Standard mode.

10. Press the Calibration button again.

After about 15 seconds, the unit makes an audible
beep to indicate that the changes have been saved.

NOTE:

  You can view the calibration factor at any time:

Press the Total button repeatedly to see the Total, the
R-Total, and the calibration factor.
