Cal Weight
The cal weight value sets the weight of product applied per revolution of the metering roller. The Viper Pro may
be used to help calculate the cal weight value by using the cal weight calibration assistance feature while
performing a catch test.
Note:
Make sure the metering roller is full of product before beginning the calibration. If the roller is not
full, the test results will be inaccurate.
The cal weight calibration assistance may also be performed using the remote tank console. Refer
to Chapter 10, Remote Calibration Console, to perform the cal weight calibration assistance
process using the remote tank console.
