Calibrating the flow meter with the tank method
 
 
 
Mode of operation
 
 
With the tank method, a large quantity of water will be applied from the tank over a specific time.
The flow meter measures the pulses during this time.
After the application, you must enter the quantity of water that has been applied.
The computer calculates the number of pulses per litre.
 
 
WARNING
Spray liquid or spray liquid residues
Danger of poisoning or chemical burning
1.
Clean the spray liquid tank thoroughly prior to calibration. The field sprayer must be free of spray liquids or spray liquid residues.
2.
Use only clear water during calibration.
3.
Wear required protective equipment.
