13. DECIMAL SHIFT

The DECIMAL SHIFT feature is used to increase system accuracy at low application

rates. Shifting of the decimal point is done during the entry of METER CAL. After

entering METER CAL mode, depress the decimal shift key labelled

, enter

the meter calibration constant number, and depress

. The sequence to unshift

the decimals while in METER CAL is to enter the meter calibration constant number

and depress

. The following table illustrates how shifting the decimal point

can increase system accuracy.
