Configuring the PrecisionFlo Module
Controlling Volume Compensation
If the PrecisionFlo module is operating in flow mode,
you should turn on volume compensation. When
volume compensation is on, the PrecisionFlo module
measures the volume of material dispensed and then
adjusts the actual material flow rate to match the
required flow rate.
For more information, see the Volume Compensation
section in the theory of operation section (page 61).
Choice
When to use it
Off
If you are using pressure mode, or if
your application does not require vol-
ume compensation.
Auto
If you are using flow mode.
Man
When volume compensation does not
correct quickly enough. Reduce the
number of flow meter pulses/updates
to improve the volume compensation
ratio.
CAUTION
To reduce risk of damage to the me-
tering valve motor, do not set resolu-
tion so low that the metering valve
continuously oscillates in an attempt
to match the required flow rate. Refer
to the Volume Compensation section
in the theory of operation section
(page 61) before using manual mode.
