5. CONFIGURATION AND CALIBRATION The BA554E is configured and calibrated via four push buttons that located behind instrument control cover. If frequent access to the push buttons is required, the Rate Totaliser can be supplied with a duplicate membrane keypad mounted on the outside of the control cover.
