Flow Sensor Calibration

The flow sensor calibration parameters vary with the flow sensor type selected�
1� Navigate to SETUP > ADVANCED SETUP > SENSOR INPUTS�
2� Highlight FLOW SENSOO CAL, then press ENTEO�
N OTEE: For Dual pulse input versions, highlight FLOW SENSOO 1 CAL or FLOW
SENSOO 2 CAL�
3� Select and edit each option, as necessary� The options include:
Option Description
K-FACTOR A singular K-factor entry point�
OFFSET Used to apply an offset to sensor input calibration
LOW FLOW The point at which the display reads zero� Represented in configured unit of
CUTOFF measure
Appears when a "MULTI-POINT CAL" option is picked for a flow sensor type, to
MULTI-POINT
replace a single K-Factor� Allows you to program a
TABLE
linearization table�
10 Point Linearization
The FC-5000 Flow Display can be set up to linearize the output from an eligible
flow meter� The calibration data for a particular flow meter are included when the
meter, calibration and FC-5000 unit are ordered from the factory� The calibration
data is represented as FREQUENCY (f: Hz) vs K-FACTOR (KFct)�
