8. Calibrations
As a convention in this manual:
“WET” calibrations will refer to those that require normal operating conditions, for example the
pump running with fluid, or an electrical signal input provided at the appropriate terminals.
“DRY” calibration routines are run under other conditions, and often do not require the pump to run
or that a specific input signal be present.
Some of the calibration routines may be performed either way. Note any system requirements listed
for each routine.
8.1 Pump Flow Calibration
Pump flow calibration is not necessary for the standard speed controller. It is only necessary for models
configured for flow meter feedback. The selected flow meter should meet or exceed requirements listed in
the Flow Meters section (ref. Section12 - Specifications). The flow meter should also be calibrated prior to
MPC VECTOR calibration according to manufacturer specifications.
Y OUR MPC VECTOR IS NOT FACTORY CALIBRATED AS THE CALIBRATIONS ARE SYSTEM
DEPENDENT AND FLOW METER DEPENDENT . Y OU MUST ALWAYS PERFORM A CALIBRATION WITH
THE MPC VECTOR INSTALLED IN YOUR SYSTEM PRIOR TO USE . F AILURE TO PROPERLY
CALIBRATE THE UNIT MAY RESULT IN DAMAGE TO SYSTEM COMPONENTS .
The pump may be calibrated in WET (under normal operating conditions) or DRY (performed with pump
off) conditions.
8.1.1 WET Flow Calibration
The Wet Flow Calibration routine will require that the user turns on the pump. The flow meter should be
configured and calibrated prior to MPC VECTOR calibration (refer to flow meter IOM for calibration
instructions
). Please note that it must be safe to run the pump and dispense liquid into the system in order to
complete this calibration. The pump should be fully primed with the product in order to complete an
accurate calibration.
