INSTALLATION & OPERATION
MANUAL
MODEL SP1200
Flo-Calibration System
DOC#: MN-1200
METER PROVER OPERATION-COMPREHENSIVE
WARNING
Never drop any component of the prover system-carefully place each component in desired location.
The Temperature Probe MUST be removed before installation or removal of transition piping. The
probe is easily damaged by any type of shock.
All prover runs are to be made using temperature compensation.
PROCEDURES
Assemble prover piping on the discharge of the trailer to be proved. The prover MUST be
supported.
Install the temperature probe.
Connect all wiring to the prover.
Cool down piping by allowing liquid to flow. You may pump off for a short period of time to
complete cool down.
DURING COOL DOWN
Note the calibration factor entered on the trailer’s totalizer.

Start trailer product pump. Once primed, turn on the trailer totalizer. After pumping 50 gallons, note the trailer
totalizer reading as the START/STOP switch is pressed & released. This starts the prover run. Continue to
pump another 500 gallons according to the trailer totalizer.
As the prover progresses, check the prover flow rate display (Gm). With 1 1/2” prover system, pump off rate
should be at a normal 100 gallons per minute (Gm) and 180 gallons per minute (Gm) for a 2” system.

If several trailers will be proved, the prover piping should be assembled and cooled within 15 minutes. If this
cannot be done, the piping will need to be blown dry using nitrogen. DO NOT USE SHOP AIR.
WARNING: Condensation will quickly form inside piping left unattended. This will cause ice to form on the
turbine bearings, preventing rotation and rendering the prover inoperable.
When all proving has been completed, CLEAN and DRY prover system. Place all components including
temperature probe and all cables in proper case for storage.
