SECTION IICALIBRATION INSTRUCTIONS

GENERAL-WhenunitisinCalibrationmode,allmodelightsonleftsideofdisplaywillbeilluminated.Aflashingmodelight indicateswhatfunctionisbeingcalibrated.

A. PRESSURE CALIBRATION

1. prior to calibration, the pressure transducer (Figure 4) must be installed into provided 1/4"NPTpressureport. typically in a valve discharge adapter or piping.

2. open the valve and drain to eliminate any pressure in line. 3. power up the meter. (Figure 5) 4. Afterthedisplayhasgonethroughasequenceofmessages,0 will appear on the display, or an error message mayappearifinthepressuremode.Also,amodelightwillappearontheleftsideofthedisplay.

The unit is now ready for Pressure Calibration

Step 2- PressandreleasetheLEFT button. PRES(pressure)willappearonthedisplay.

Step 3- PressandreleaseRIGHT button. the word “ZERO”shouldappearandPSImodelightwillflash.Note:If “ZERO” does not appear, the messages dEAd, EPrL, or EPrH may appear on the display. they indicate possibletransmissionerrorsbetweenthepressuretransducerandthemeter.(Seetroubleshooting guide-SectionIVtoresolve)
