  • Page 23 Brooks Instrument Installation Manual Quantim QMC Section 3 Operation After Quantim® has been fully installed, you must perform the zeroing procedure. This procedure ensures that the instrument responds properly to zero flow condition and sets a baseline for flow. To perform the zeroing operation on the meter/controller, use the ZERO button, which is located on top right hand side (outlet side) of the instrument.
