Prover Status · Meter Calibration 
Piston Unknown Position 
Motor Idle
Error Status  No Error

Press OK to enter menu Stop
On the first power up and after any machine fault alarm, the piston position 
will be unknown and one proving run needs to be successfully completed 
in order to initialize the piston position status. Upon sending the signal 
from the PROVEit software or the other flow computers, the prover motor 
will retract the piston assembly and the proving run will start. At the end of 
the proving run the flow rate will be displayed on the screen and the next 
proving run can be initiated.
During the return and proving mode different piston positions and 
the motor status will be displayed on the SVP controller screen. At 
the end of the proving run the sweep time, cycle count and the stop 
time will be updated. If any errors occur during the proving run the 
error will be reported on the screen and will need to be cleared via 
the LAD (Main menu/Diagnostics/Dashboard/Alarm  
Clear – see Chapter 5 - Troubleshooting).
  3.3  Prover Test
The Prover Test mode can be useful to become familiar with your prover 
and to verify proper operation. This mode is accessed by navigating with 
the LAD through the following menus: Main Menu/Diagnostics/Prover 
Service Test/Run Prover Test.
Pressing OK on the LAD at Run Prover Test causes a prover run cycle to 
be executed, and the SVP Controller display will appear as shown below. 
With the piston at the extreme downstream position, the Parked Position, 
the motor will pull the piston upstream and the piston position will be 
shown on the Prover Status screen as the associated optical sensor flag 
passes through the Downstream sensor and the Upstream sensor until 
the motor stop switch is activated. Run Prover Test can be executed
