10.3 Auto Calibration Procedure
The auto calibrate procedure (sec. 10.2C) calculates a custom flow sensor/batch K-Factor based on volumetric measurement for more
precise batching. This process will compensate for installation abnormalities or nonstandard pipe sizes for maximum batch accuracy.
An accurate measurement reference container (e.g. known tank volume) is required for this procedure. If auto calibration is impractical
for your batch system, perform manual calibration using the K-Factors published in your flow sensor manual.
Requirements:
A. The flow sensor must be installed in the actual batch pipeline.
B. The flow control valve can be connected to the common (C)
and normally open (NO) batch contact terminals (sec. 4) or
the current output terminals (sec. 8B).
C. Either the batch contact or current output
MUST
be used to
energize and de-energize the main flow control valve which
starts and stops fluid flow into the known reference container.
D. Follow the steps outlined in the auto calibration procedure
(sec.10.2C) to obtain your batch system's custom K-Factor.

*Note:
Batch and totalizer K-Factor settings represent the
number of pulses generated by the +GF+ SIGNET flow sensor for
each engineering unit of fluid measured (published in the flow
sensor manual).
WARNING!
The auto calibration procedure generates a custom batch K-Factor. The batch and Totalizer K-Factors are independent from
one another. ALWAYS reenter your totalizer K-Factor after performing the auto calibration procedure.
