5100ex Calibration Manual 

AutoCalibration of Prewet Liquid

AutoCalibration of a Prewet Liquid 

 
 
The 5100ex can automatically calculate the displacement and full speed displacement rate values 
by dispensing prewet liquid.  Before you begin, make sure Prewet Min DC and Max DC have 
been calibrated. 
 

To auto calibrate a prewet liquid: 

 
Calibrating displacement and full speed displacement rate can be completed using either English 
or Metric units. The steps below will walk you through calibrating the displacement and full speed 
displacement rate using English units. 
 

STEP 1: 

Enter the Calibration Menu. See Entering the Calibration Menu on page 2. 

STEP 2: 

Select Prewet Mat 

STEP 3: 

Select AutoCal. 

STEP 4: 

The Prewet AutoCal screen will appear, as shown in Figure 7.

STEP 5: 

Press the Continue button to dismiss the dialog. 

STEP 6: 

Setup a catch container under the prewet system to catch any liquid that is 
dispensed. 

STEP 7: 

If your prewet drive type is set to exhaust: Set the auger percent by twisting the 
green knob.  The value must be greater than 40% and cannot be adjusted once 
the process is started 

STEP 8: 

Set the prewet percent by twisting the blue knob.  The value must be greater 
than 40% and cannot be adjusted once the process is started. 

STEP 9: 

Press the green, Standby knob to begin dispensing material.  The status should 
change to “running”. 

STEP 10:  Wait until at least 2 gallons of liquid have been dispensed.  The more material 

dispensed, the higher the accuracy of the calibration.
