This section describes the calibration and maintenance of the SATURO infiltrometer.
Troubleshooting solutions and customer service information are also provided.
4.1 CALIBRATION
The water pump comes factory calibrated and is accurate to within ±5% of the reading at
the time of shipment. However, the water pump and tubing can wear, causing a change in the
volume of water flowing through the pump. Calibrate the pump every 6–12 months to ensure
accurate measurements.
Operators can use two methods, based on either mass or volume, to calibrate the pump.
The mass method is the most accurate, and the volume method is more convenient. Either
method is acceptable for calibration.
Prior to calibration, obtain either a scale accurate to 0.01 g or a 25-mL graduated cylinder, for
the mass or volume method respectively.
Press POWER/MENU, select Configuration, and select Water Pump Calibration (Figure31).
Press Enter on Type to toggle between Mass or Volume, and select Start.
Figure31 Water Pump Calibration screen
A message will prompt to connect to a water source and to attach the outgoing water tube
(Figure32). Connect a source of water to the water input port and press Enter.
Figure32 Setup Calibration screen
Both methods require that the water line is purged of air before running the calibration.
Select Purge. Repeat the process to run water through the tube until water runs clear with no
bubbles (Figure33).
