the system for leaks, verify the valves are turned on, and verify the hoses are filled with product. It
may not be necessary to recalibrate the pressure transducer.
PUMP CALIBRATION WITH PUMP CALIBRATOR
Prior to starting a chemical injection application, verify the pump is calibrated and operational.
1. Prime the pump.
2. Set the hand valve on the injection pump outlet to recirculate the product back to the supply tank.
3. Remove the cover from the injection pump calibrator.
4. Press the calibrator all the way down and gently replace the calibrator cover.
FIGURE 2. Calibration Process
NOTE:
Do not over-tighten the calibrator cover.
5. Verify the following conditions exist:
a. Injection pressure is less than 12 PSI [82.7 kPa].
b. Pump is off.
c. Vacuum pressure is less than 11.5” [29 cm] of mercury.
NOTE:
The vacuum switch on the pump will engage and a flow alarm will display if the product cannot be
drawn into the pump (e.g. vacuum pressure at, or above, 11.5” of mercury [29 cm of mercury]). Check
screens, hoses diameter, and hand valves between the chemical tank and pump inlet. Also, verify that
the product is flowing freely. Cold temperatures and low viscosity products may cause high vacuum
pressures and cause the pump not to operate properly.
