Most liquid flow meters have an accurate
calibration factor displayed on the flow meter
body. Determine the calibration factor of the
flow meter being used.
Complete Steps #4a/b - #5 to determine an
accurate
calibration factor. This factor can be
entered using Manual Entry button (Item C,
refer to Figure 8.51).
a. If using a Bourgault supplied flow meter
and the X35 Monitor units are set to US
Gal, the calibration factor for water is 2448
if the meter is GREEN and 312 if the
meter is BLACK.
i. This number is for water and must
be adjusted for the fertilizer used.
ii. Proceed to the calibration factor
conversion instructions in Step 5.
