Calibrating the flow meter
 
You must calibrate the flow meter in the following cases:
 
 
Prior to initial start-up.
 
 
At the start of each season.
 
 
If you notice that there are deviations between the applied quantity and the displayed quantity.
 
 
After repairs performed on the flow meter.
 
 
NOTICE
Imprecise calibration
If the calibration is imprecise, the calculations will be very inaccurate and the application imprecise.
1.
Calibrate the flow meter very precisely.
 
 
CAUTION
Slurry or slurry residues
Risk of poisoning or corrosion
1.
Clean the tank before calibration.
2.
Only use clear water for the calibration.
3.
Wear required protective equipment.
 
 
 
Procedure
 
 
 
þ
The tank is filled with water. You need several hundred litres of water.
þ
You have a method for measuring the quantity of applied water.
þ
The pump is switched on.
1.
Drive the slurry tanker to a position where you can apply the water without any problems.
2.
On the work screen, press:
 FS_Maschinendaten > ( FS_weiter_zurück) >  FS_Durchflussmesser_einstellen
The “FLOW METER” screen appears.
3.
 FS_Durchflussmesser_kalibrieren - Call up the “CALIBRATION” screen.
4.
 FS_Starten - Start the calibration.
5.
Apply several hundred litres of water.
While applying, the counted impulses are shown in the “Counted Impulses” field.
6.
 FS_Bestätigen - Stop the calibration.
7.
Enter the quantity of the applied water in the “Quantity” field.
You have successfully calibrated the flow meter.
8.
As an option, you can configure the “Correction Factor” and “Flow Meter Impulses” parameters.
