Calibration Menu 

 

 
 

The Calibration Menu contains the calibration information needed for programming the meter 
and calculating the transducer scribe to scribe spacing. If provided at the time of order, the 
application information will be preconfigured in the meter, otherwise it is needed at the time of 
installation to properly program the unit. Note: once the information is programmed, the meter 
will calculate the proper transducer scribe to scribe spacing. Set the spacing accordingly and the 
meter is ready to read flow. See below for a description of the items in this menu that are 
required to be defined for calculating the transducer scribe to scribe spacing and accurately 
measuring the flow rate.
