  • Page 15: Flowmeter Calibration (To Be Used For Automatic Tank Calibration Only)

    Flowmeter calibration (TO BE USED FOR AUTOMATIC TANK CALIBRATION ONLY) Due to the different system configurations (tubes, valves, etc.) rate reading could not be correct. It is therefore recommended to perform a spraying test. If measured value is different from actual value, change the rate constant through an automatic calibration procedure or manually calculate the constant. Manual calibration In order to manually set rate constant, calculate and set suitable constant using the following formula: [quantity measured by equipment] x [constant indicated on flowmeter body] [actually sprayed quantity] 1) Open manual calibration menu (Setup menu (Setup menu > Sensors > Calib. flowmeter > Man. calibration). Under Calibration, menu, select Man. Calibration, to view currently set constant value below the item. Press to edit the value. For flowmeter constant value, refer to the corresponding manual. 2) Set flowmeter constant value: A) Press to move through digits B) Press a few times to edit the highlighted digit C) Press to save changes, or D) Press to quit the page without confirming changes...

  • Page 17: Tank

    Tank From this menu it is possible to view and set a number of tank values. - Capacity: the display shows the maximum tank capacity value, as previously calculated through calibration. This value is read-only. Tank zero value Set level sensor zero value. The level sensor must be reset in the following cases: 1) If there are discrepancies between the quantity of fluid in the tank and the value measured by the level sensor (e.g., fluid presence detected but empty tank). 2) EVERY TIME a calibration curve is uploaded via USB. The tank zero value must ALWAYS be saved WITH AN EMPTY TANK. 1) Open tank zero value menu (Setup menu > Tank > Tank zero value). The display will show the current setting below the selected item Press to edit the selected menu item 2) Press : VISIO will save the level sensor zero value, which will be shown in the bottom part of the display (e.g., 3.964 mA in the image on the side). If a sensor malfunction occurs, the message Check sensor! will be shown in the top part of the display.
  • Page 18: Tank Calibration

    Tank calibration The tank profile calibration can be carried out in manual or automatic mode. During calibration, VISIO will save up to 200 calibration points to create the tank profile curve. If necessary, the tank profile can be saved and reimported into VISIO or compatible ARAG Computers (Bravo 180S/300S/400S/Delta80/Ninja) at a later time (e.g., when reusing the same tank). Before starting the procedure carry out the following operations: 1) Fill the tank with clean water WITHOUT ADDING CHEMICAL SUBSTANCES. The tank must be full. 2) Visually check the reached level. Automatic tank calibration 1) Open automatic calibration menu (Setup menu > Tank > Auto calibration). Press to edit the selected menu item. 2) Set the tank maximum capacity value, i.e., the theoretical quantity of fluid that was previously introduced: A) Press to move through digits...
  • Page 19 3) Start tank draining. The display will start showing the increasing measured fluid quantity value (central area of the display), the instant flowrate value (bottom right), and the progressive number of measured calibration points (bottom left). If a sensor malfunction occurs, the message Check sensor! will be shown in the top part of the display. 4) Once the tank has been completely drained, the value in the central area of the display will stop changing, and the message Compl. calibr.? will appear in the display top part Press for 1 second to complete calibration. 5) The display will go back to the previous menu and will show the acquired value. In case of measurement errors, or if it is necessary to stop the calibration, press for 2 seconds to quit the calibration procedure without saving. In this case, the curve will be the one previously measured, or the default curve.
  • Page 20 Manual tank calibration To perform manual calibration, proceed as follows: 1) Calculate the suitable calibration interval with respect to tank maximum capacity, bearing in mind that: - it is possible to save up to 200 calibration points; - a high number of calibration points makes for more accurate measurements. 2) Adopt a reliable method for measuring the fluid quantity that was previously calculated. Example: [2000 liters] = [10 liters] [200 points] [2000 liters] = maximum tank capacity; [200 points] = set calibration points; [10 liters] * = measurement value in liters.
  • Page 21 The message Stabilization will appear in the display top part for a few seconds, then it will switch back to Rec. cal. point. The value of calibration points will increase by one unit, and the value of the progressively drained partial volume will show the quantity of fluid measured up to that moment. VISIO is ready for a new measurement. It is possible to save calibration points obtained with different quantities of drained fluid. 4) Once the tank has been emptied completely, press key for 1 second to complete the calibration process and save the relevant curve. 5) The display will go back to the previous menu and will show the acquired value. In case of measurement errors, or if it is necessary to stop the calibration, press key for 1 second to quit the calibration procedure without saving. In this case, the curve will be the one previously measured, or the default curve.
