Perform a calibration
Periodically make calibration to monitor an accurate flow through control display.
The pump is calibrated by pumping clean water at the maximum operating pressure before
shipping (in the absence of a designation by a user), however, make calibration again in an
actual operating condition as necessary. Follow the calibration process on the next page.
NOTE
The flow rate shown on the screen is a calculated value based on calibration and is not an actual flow rate.
Calibration is made to determine liquid volume per shot. Arrange your piping system according to the guide
below to ensure the calibration is made correctly.
Suggested piping layout
Use a calibration cylinder connected to a suction line.
Bad example
Do not immerse a calibration tube in liquid level in a calibration cylinder. Otherwise, tube volume is added to
the liquid volume to be measured, and calibration will be upset.
