 CLASS A CALIBRATION

NOTE:

•

Prior to calibrating, run the system at different rates and verify that it is in need of calibration.

•

The most accurate calibration can be obtained using the actual foam concentrate intended for 
use at a fire incident. However, if foam is unable to be used, water is an acceptable substitute.

•

Verify that the draft hose is securely installed, the Foam Inlet Valve is OPEN, the Foam Pump 
is primed, and the foam source is set to DRAFT CLASS B before beginning foam calibration.

1.

From the normal operation screen (Foam Pump Not Running), navigate to the CALIBRATIONS screen.

2.

In the CALIBRATIONS screen, use the UP/DOWN buttons to highlight Class B Calibration and press ENTER to 
bring up the CLASS B CALIBRATION screen.

3.

Display should read CALIBRATE FOAM B 1.00 GPM.

4.

Press ENTER to begin foam calibration at 1.00 GPM. The foam pump will run for five minutes.

5.

Measure actual flow by measuring the foam/water pick-up through draft hose. 

6.

When green Foam Pump ON light turns off, measure the actual amount of foam concentrate flowed. Calculate 
the gallons per minute (GPM) used during the five minutes. 

(Example: 5.5 gallons flowed divided by 5 minutes 

= 1.1 GPM.)

 Using the ARROW UP or ARROW DOWN buttons, enter the GPM flowed. 

(In this example “1.1”)

7.

Press ENTER to accept value. 

8.

Display should read: CALIBRATE FOAM B 4.00 GPM

9.

Press ENTER to begin foam calibration at 4.00 GPM. Foam pump will run for five minutes. 

10. Measure actual flow by measuring the foam/water pick-up through draft hose 

11. When green “Foam Pump On” light turns off, measure the actual amount of foam concentrate flowed. Calculate 

the gallons per minute (GPM) used during the five minutes. 

(Example: 5.5 gallons flowed divided by 5 minutes 

= 1.1 GPM.)

 Using the ARROW UP or ARROW DOWN buttons, enter the GPM flowed.
