K Factor

K Factor

The K FACTOR allows the user to adjust the meter’s calibration.  The ONICON flow 
meter increases the calculated flow rate by the K Factor.  This results in a direct scaling 
of the meter’s output across the entire full range. 

The K Factor parameter is accessed from the “Flow Menu 2” menu by entering a 

Level 

2

 password “9111” and pressing the 

SPC

 key (

F2

).

F1 F2 F3 F4

The following screen will be displayed:

F1 F2 F3 F4

Press 

CHG (F1)

.  Add the correction factor and press OK (F4).

For Example:
If you want the flow meter to read 5% higher, enter 5.0%.
If you want the flow meter to read 5% lower, enter -5.0%.
If an existing K Factor is present, add the additional K Factor to the existing value.

Upon pressing 

OK (F4)

, an option to restore the database will follow.

Restore Database

In case of user error, the ability to restore the meter to the original factory settings can 
be achieved in this menu. The display will show:

F1 F2 F3 F4

Press 

YES (F1)

 ONLY if you want to restore your database to the initial factory setting

that the meter was shipped with. All current user-entered settings will be overwritten.

The green LP3 LED will flash at a faster pace until the recall is performed. The "RESET
CRC" screen will follow "RESTORE DATABASE".

Upon pressing 

OK (F4)

, an option to reset the NVRAM CRC will follow.
