9.6 Calibration
The dosing flow display is set by default for an operating
counter-pressure of 3 bar. Calibration can be used to set the
pump flow to the actual operating conditions.
With activated flow compensation (see section
4.4.4 Flow compensation
When dosing media with a viscosity different from
Note
water or after a software update the pump has to be
calibrated. After a software update "cal" is flashing in
the display.
Calibrate the pump under normal operating conditions with the
discharge line connected and at operating counter-pressure.
The dosed volume must be gauged in litres during
Note
calibration, e.g. by drawing the dosing medium from
a gauged tank.
"OFF CAL" appears in the display.
1. Press the "Up" button.
– "- - -" and "CAL" (flashing) appear in the display.
2. Wait until "ON" and "CAL" (not flashing) appear in the display.

4. Press the "Start/Stop" button.
The current calibration value is displayed (not with replacement

Press the "Menu/Info" button (confirm the setting and move on
to the next menu item), or
•
press the "Start/Stop" button (confirm the setting and close the
second function level).
The calibration process does not change the setting
for the assignment/weighting of the current input and
output for the flow rate.
Note
If a current input or output is used, check after
calibration to determine whether a new current
weighting is required.
