The message GAL next to the flow rate refers to the register of the (resettable or NOT resettable) total
amount, which is shown again, when the display mode of the flow rate is left again.
In order to return to the normal mode, press the TOTAL key once again.
An unintended pressing of the RESET or TOTAL key has no effect during counting.
NOTE
Even though the resettable (RESET TOTAL) and the absoute (TOTAL) amounts
are not shown, the values nevertheless increase. These values, however, can
be checked after the discharge, when the TOTAL key is shortly pressed in the
"normal mode".
8.1.4 Resetting the partial amount
In order to reset the partial amount register to zero, finish discharge and wait until the counter indicates a
flow rate of 0,0 (refer to illustration) and then shortly press the RESET key.
In contrast to resetting in the normal mode, the counter will, in this case, not go through the phase during
which all display segments are successively switched on and off, but will immediately show the register of
the partial amount reset to zero.
9. Calibration
9.1 Definition
Calibration factor or "K FACTOR":
This is the multiplication factor the system allocates to the electric impulses received in order to convert
them into the unit of the measured fluid.
■
■
FACTORY K FACTOR: Default calibration factor preset during fabrication. It is set to 1000.
The preset calibration factor can be reloaded by means of a simple procedure if the user has made
changes.
■
■
USER K FACTOR: calibration factor which has been adapted to the user's requirements, i. e. which has
been changed by a calibration.
9.2 Why to calibrate?
The mobiSERVE is delivered with a setting made by the manufacturer. In most operating conditions, this
setting will ensure a precise measurement.
Nevertheless, a calibration made under operating conditions may be advisable, e. g. if the counter is
operated under extreme conditions.
