Calibrate Page on the LM4:
The flow rate of any pump is affected by the size, length, and level changes
of the connected tubing — how far up it is pushing or how far down is it
drawing from. In order to get the most accuate results when calibrating
the pump, it is recommended that the pump be set up in the desired
installation/configuration before beginning the calibration sequence.
Each pump will be calibrated separately.
All new pumps have a short break-in period. To minimize these effects,
run the pump in the ON Mode (wet or dry) for at least 20 minutes before
proceeding. Be sure to completely prime the pump and tubing by setting
the Mode to ON until primed before proceding to the calibration process.
Once a pump has been calibrated, the LiterMeter4 can determine the
minimum and maximum flow rates, and maximum daily total.
You may use the included graduated cylinder to double check the
calibration. Set your pump for a ONCE dose of 0.10 L (100 ml.) at a Rate of
100 ml/min., and use the cylinder to measure the results. If the dosage is
off by more than +/-3%, you should recalibrate that pump.
We recommend that you recalibrate your pumps after the first few weeks of use.

The Calibration Process:
Navigate to the “Calibrate” page for the Pump
you wish to calibrate. The cursor should be
under the “C” in Calibrate. Press button
once. You are about to begin the Calibration
process. All inlet and outlet tubing should be
in place for an accurate measurement. The
pump and tubng
should be primed. Now,
press button once.
Use the supplied 100 ml. graduated cylinder
for this part of the test. Direct the output of
the pump into the cylinder. Press
button
to
begin the test.
