The pressure sensors are calibrated by a wizard: in the calibration menu, when the parameter corresponding to the sensor which requires calibration has switched to "yes" then the measured value is saved and used as the offset. The adjusted value then becomes 0. To calibrate the pressure sensors, the unit must be stopped and the air flow must be zero. It is also possible to temporarily disconnect the connection tubing from the pressure sensor. EN-49 FLOWAY ACCESS...
