CALIBRATION
CALIBRATION CAPACITY
After the calibration process you will obtain precision
within the range of ±0.5% with the meter. If the meter
exceeds this range it could be due to the following:
• Unsuitable container used for the calibration.
CALIBRATION PROCEDURES
The calibration process is semi-automatic. To start the process,
the meter must be in partial meter mode (fig. 14) and is
accessed by simultaneously pressing the buttons ON/
RESET and SELECT for 3 seconds (fig. 15). After releasing
the buttons the current calibration factor is shown on the
meter (fig. 16).

If the screen does not show the correct measuring unit (fig. 16)
press the SELECT button (fig. 17) successively until displaying
the required unit (fig. 18).
Press ON/RESET (fig. 19) to start the calibration process
(fig. 20).

It now starts to release the desired volume into the
container. Remember that you must release at least 1 litre to
perform a good calibration. In the example shown in the
figures it is assumed that 2 litres are released according to
the reading on the calibrated container and that the meter
records 2.1 litres (fig. 21).

• The container is not empty before the calibration.
• Air in the fluid which has not been completely removed.
• The values are not properly introduced into the
calibration process.
To administer the real quantity released (which is that
measured in the calibrated container or scales), press the
ON/RESET button for 1 second (fig. 22). The digits start to
flash (fig. 23) indicating that the value shown can be
modified. Each press of the ON/RESET button increases
the value by 0.1 litres and each press of the SELECT button
(fig. 24) reduces this value by 0.1 litres (fig. 25).

Once the real value released is set (fig. 25) press the ON/
RESET button for 1 second (fig. 26). The meter shows the
new stored calibration factor (fig. 27) and then exits the
calibration process. The screen shows the partial meter
with the units set during the calibration process (fig. 28).
If, during any phase of the calibration process, you wish to
exit without saving the changes made you must press the
SELECT button for 1 second. Likewise, if 30 seconds of
inactivity elapse during the process, the meter switches off
automatically and exits the calibration process without
storing the data.
