Meter Calibration - Graco ProMix 2KS Operation Manuals

Meter Calibration

To avoid splashing fluid in the eyes, wear eye protec-
tion. The fluid shutoff valves and ratio check valves are
retained by mechanical stops that prevent accidental
removal of the valve stem while the manifold is pres-
surized. If you cannot turn the valve stems manually,
relieve the system pressure, then disassemble and
clean the valve to remove the resistance.
Calibrate the meter:
• The first time the system is operated.
• Whenever new materials are used in the system,
especially if the materials have viscosities that differ
significantly.
• At least once per month as part of regular mainte-
nance.
• Whenever a flow meter is serviced or replaced.
NOTE:
• K-factors on the Calibration Screen are
updated automatically after the calibration pro-
cedure is completed.
• K-factor values on the screen are viewable only.
If needed, you can manually edit the K-factors
in Advanced Setup Screen 4 (page 38) or
Recipe Setup Screen 5 (page 43).
• All values on this screen are in cc, independent
of the units set in Configure Screen 1.
• The controller will use the active recipe
K-factors for meter calibration. The active
recipe must be recipe 1 to recipe 60. Recipes
0 and 61 do not have K-factor values.
1. Before calibrating meter A or B, prime the system
with material. For a color/catalyst change system,
make sure the color/catalyst valve is open.
2. Shut off all spray or dispense devices connected to
the ProMix.
3. Close both fluid shutoff valves and sampling valves.
