Sentry 6140
Tip Flow Monitor
tip BALAnCe
Balancing the tips is required for the system to compare and
monitor individual tips. The system will scan all the tips to get the
flow rate. The flow rate of each tip must be within the tip balance
percentage range of the average flow rate in order to balance
successfully. If any tip is outside this range, an error will be generated,
and the user will need to inspect the tip.
NOTE: In order to maintain system accuracy, balancing the tips is
required anytime a tip is changed.
The console will not be able to detect small flow changes
until a tip balancing is completed successfully.
Tip Balance Percentage is OEM specified. Default balance
is +/-15%.
