Page 20: Calibration
CALIBRATION The process of calibrating the NetaFlex™ 3G is carried out in three stages: 1. Calculation of dosing channels opening percentage To finely calibrate the NetaFlex™ 3G in order to achieve homogeneous and stable dosing, perform the following calculation for each dosing channel (fertilizers and acid) to determine the amount of suction reduction needed to attain the required fertilizer/acid flow rate. - Page 21 CALIBRATION Note the required dosing ratio of each fertilizer solution and the dosing ratio of the acid solution (if used). Fill a bucket with 10 liters (2 US gallons) of the client's supply water (without fertilizer or acid). Measure the EC and the pH levels of the water in the bucket using calibrated portable sensors. EXAMPLE Supply water (without fertilizer or acid) 0.3 Using a measuring tube or a syringe, take a dose from each fertilizer solution and from the acid solution (if...

Page 22: Calibration Of The Netaflex™ 3G While Irrigating
CALIBRATION With the controller set to operate according to EC/pH values - if the EC and pH values measured in the bucket are within a range of ±30% deviation from the target values, the system will be able to correct them automatically. - Page 23 CALIBRATION If the EC and pH target values cannot be attained, and the dosing valves are opened more than 85%, measures should be taken to increase the dosing ratio - if feasible, slightly increase the concentration of the fertilizer solution and/or reduce the water flow rate to the field during irrigation. If not - consult the agronomist/consultant.
