6. Operation 6.1 Parameter calibration and erasing To achieve the best performance of the controller and provide maximum protection to the pump, parameter calibration must be performed during installation, or during installation after the pump repairs. 6.1.1 Setting the parameter calibration Setting the parameters (calibration of unit according to the connected load): 1.
