CHAPTER 4-Calibration
UPMS-1000 CALIBRATION PROCEDURE
Once all the displays are programmed, the UPMS-1000 needs to be calibrated to the metering pumps
that it is attached to.
To calibrate the UPMS-1000 to the metering pump 3 tests need to be performed.
The tests are:
Gallons/Liters per minute from each metering pump.
KG/GM/LBS/OZ sample from each metering pump
Manual ratio test of the metering pumps together.
The metering pumps must be calibrated manually and double checked before attempting to calibrate the
UPMS-1000
MANUAL METERING PUMP CALIBRATION
1. Using the chart supplied, set the variable fluid section to the correct placement on the scale.
2. Set the main pump pressure to 0 psi and turn on the recirculation circuit of the machine.
3. Slowly bring up the main pump pressure until pressure has developed and is stabilized on the
output pressure gauges.
4. Let the pump cycle several times to bleed any air out of the system and balance out output
pressures.
5. With the ratio block assembly on the front of the dispensing gun, turn on the gun, wait for
pressures to balance and then run both materials into measuring cups for a weight. Both streams
must be started at the same time into the measuring cups and more weight per cup guarantees a
higher accuracy.
6. Once the ratio has been calculated adjust the variable fluid section accordingly (small increments)
and re run step #5 until correct result is achieved. Running the test 2-3 times after the correct
ratio has been achieved will produce the best results.
Once the Manual Metering Pump Calibration has been performed and verified the UPMS-1000 now
needs to be calibrated to the metering pump.
