4.6.2.7 Characteristic of the Proportional Valve
Caution: The three procedures “Proportional Valve Calibration”, “Internal Flow Sensor
Calibration” and “Characteristic of the Proportional Valve” must always be
performed together in the order as in the manual, never individually.
1 Select CHARAC.PV to enter the Characteristic of the Proportional Valve screen.
2 Attach an external flow sensor to the drive gas outlet of the docking station.
3 To calibrate the proportional valve, select the increment keys (along the bottom edge of the
screen) until the flow meter displays the number that the on screen arrow is pointing to.

4 When each flow is achieved within the limits specified in the table below, select ENTER to step to
the next designated flow rate.
5 Set each flow (from 1 to 75 l/min) to the specified tolerance in the following table. Select ENTER
after each setting to step to the next designated flow rate (on screen arrow).
Caution: Pressing QUIT at any time during the procedure will cancel the session’s
settings and reload the previously stored calibration coefficients.
