Field Calibration of the Concentrate Pumps / Dispenser Flow Rates
The factory set Default Values for the Pump & Dispenser Flow Rates are very accurate and typically do not need to be field calibrated. However, if the mix ratio accuracy is ever in question, this procedure can be used to recalibrate the unit in the field.
Equipment Required:
50 to 100 ml graduated cylinder, with 1 ml graduations.
64 Oz (2000 ml) graduated container.
Remove the lower splash guard assembly to access prior to starting this procedure
NOTE: You can calibrate either the Concentrate Pump or the Dispenser Flow Rate independently. Simply scroll through the menu screen to the desired section and perform only those steps.
