Calibration

Advantus

t

 Foam Pump

The Advantus

t

 system is able to be field calibrated using

the control function buttons on the operating interface ter-

minal (OIT), see Figure 8.

Only units of measure, water flow and the foam percent-

age default can be field set.

A. Entering Calibration Mode

1. Entering calibration is accomplished by using the

control unit functions buttons.

2. To enter this function, press and hold the 

SELECT

button for minimum of five seconds.

.

5. Use the 

UP 

button to advance to the next para-

meter (F2, F3, F4).

6. Use the 

DOWN 

button to back up to a previous

parameter (F2, F1).

7. To edit a parameter, press the 

SELECT 

button at

the associated Fn prompt.

B. F1 

 Default Mix Percentage

1. At the 

F1

 prompt, press the

 prompt. The

display will show the current setting.

2. Use the 

UP 

and 

DOWN

 arrow buttons to select

one of the following measurement units:

GAL 

will select U.S. Gallons

IPL 

will select Imperial Gallons

LTR 

will select Metric Liters

3. Pushing the 

SELECT 

button will save the dis-

played selection. This will allow for calibration of

the water flow in the units of measurement selec-

ted.

D. F3 

 Flow Rate Calibration

1. Press the 

SELECT

 button at the 

F3

 prompt. The

current measured flow rate will be displayed. Es-

tablish a flow using an accurate flow measuring

device.

2. Once this is established, press the 

UP 

 or 

 DOWN

button to advance to the calibration step. If the

displayed flow rate is correct, press the 

SELECT

button to return back to the 

F3

 prompt. If there is

insufficient flow, the display will show 

LoFL

 for two

seconds, then return back to the 

F3

 prompt.

3. The display will now display 

50

 (starting value) or

the last calibration value entered.

4. Use the 

UP 

and 

DOWN

 arrow buttons to change

the displayed value to match the actual flow rate

according to the flow measuring device. If the but-

ton is only pressed momentarily, the display incre-

ments or decrements by one. If the button is held,

the display will increment or decrement by five.

5. Once the correct flow is achieved, pushing the
