4.4.3.2 Determination of the K-Factor via Teach-In Procedure
The K-Factor can be practically determined via volume or flow measurement
depending on the application.
Steps for successful measurement (Teach-In)
In order to determine an accurate volume, fill a tank to 100 litres of the
liquid to be measured.
When the message "TEACH Y" appears, press the ENTER key and select
the "VOLUME" option to start the measuring procedure.
The message "FILL END" (end of filling) will then appear.
After switch on a pump or open a valve.
When the tank is full, switch off the pump or close the valve. If ENTER
is pressed it will end the measurement.
The user will then be asked to enter the volume (100 litres).
The calculated K-factor is displayed after validation.
The Teach-In is also available with reference to a flow meter. In this case select
the "FLOW" option on entry to the Teach-In function.
