Using a syringe to calibrate the tipping mechanism
Note: The quantity required to tip the tipping mechanism
is based on a 8-inch (20-centimenter) tipping bucket. If
the project involves another size or type of tipping bucket,
refer to the manufacturer for the proper specifications for
performing calibrations.
6. Repeat step 4 at least 5 times for each side of the tipping
mechanism, or until you are sure the mechanism tips only when
filled with the correct amount of water.
7. If the tipping mechanism requires adjustment, calibrate it in the
following way and retest until properly calibrated:
 Tips with less than designated amount If the
tipping mechanism requires less than the designated
amount to tip, adjust the screw on the opposite side of the
mechanism down.
 Tips with more than designated amount If the
tipping mechanism requires more than the designated
amount to tip, adjust the screw on the opposite side of the
mechanism up.
