7.1 Calibration:
There are two ways to optimize the drinks made in the BD8. You can use the trial
and error method, which involves making small changes to a drink and testing
each change as you go until you get it the way you want it. Or, you can calibrate
the BD8 and make drinks according to a formula. Because fittings, tubing, tem-
perature, and product can all cause the pumps to dispense at different rates, each
drink you wish to make from a formula will require a calibrated pump. This section
will tell you how to isolate and calibrate each dispensing function.
• 7.1.1 Press 7-8-9-GO to access the program mode. (If you have not read Sec-
tions 6, do so now.)
• 7.1.2 Press 0 then GO. This will zero out the pump run time for Pmp 1 in Drink
1. The display will now read “Drink 1 Pmp 0.”
• 7.1.3 Press 0 and GO until all eight pumps are at 0. Continue to zero out water
and the blend times (you cannot zero out the cycles).
• 7.1.4 Select the concentration ratio for the product you use in pump port 1 from
Figure 3 below. The pumps deliver about 1 oz. per second. Divide your recipe’s
product amount (the ounces required for a small drink) by 1.0 to get the sug-
gested pump time. For example, if you use 2 to 1 product, divide 4 oz. by 1.0
oz per second 4/1 = 4.0 seconds. With the display showing “Drink 1 Pmp 1 0”
enter the suggested run time, remembering that what you enter is in tenths of a
second. In this example enter “40” to get 4.0 seconds, then press GO.

• 1) The product coming from the pump/port and the water for these drinks are automatically pro-
portioned to 1.5 times the “S” drinks unless the proportions have been changed as in Section 6.7.
• 2) The product coming from the pump/port and the water for these drinks are automatically pro-
portioned to 2 times the “S” drinks unless the proportions have been changed as in Section 6.7.
