8. Dispense component A or B into beaker.
a. To avoid splashing, slowly open sampling
valves.
b. For more accurate calibration, adjust the valve
to dispense at a flow rate similar to your produc-
tion spray flow rate.
c. Dispense a minimum of 250 cc; make sure
enough material is dispensed to accurately read
the volume with your beaker. The A and B vol-
umes do not have to be equal or at any particu-
lar ratio.
d. Close sampling valve tightly.
9. The volume that the ProMix measured displays on
the EasyKey.
10. Compare the amounts on the EasyKey to the
amount in the beakers.
NOTE: For maximum accuracy, use a gravimetric
(mass) method to determine the actual volumes dis-
pensed.
11. If the screen and actual volumes are different, enter
the actual dispensed volume in cc for A, B, or Sol-
vent Volume field, and press the Enter
If the value was substantially different, repeat the
calibration process.
NOTE: If the screen and actual volume is the same
or if for any reason you want to cancel the calibra-
tion procedure, scroll to Abort on the Calibration
Screen menu and press the Enter

• Follow the Purging Sampling Valves and
Tubes procedure, page 98.
• Place the sampling valve fluid tubes into a com-
patible cleaning fluid (TSL or solvent) or cap

NOTE: If fluid hardens in sampling tubes, replace
them with 5/32 in. or 4 mm OD tubing.

a. Go to Mix mode.
b. Trigger the gun into a grounded metal pail until
mixed material flows from the gun nozzle.
