CALIBRATION EQUATIONS:

TAKING A MEASUREMENT:

Press the START button to turn the meter on. The LCD will flash “000” momentarily indicating it
is working properly. The LCD will then show a “_” marker to indicate the type of measurement
units the meter will use when displaying readings. The meter will then show “- - -“ on the LCD
indicating the meter is ready to take a new measurement. Once the meter shows “- - -“, it can be
placed under the spray nozzle to be tested (you have 60 seconds to place the meter under the
nozzle). Placement of the meter under the nozzle should be brisk and certain so that all the flow
from nozzle is transferred quickly to the meter (See Fig 1). As the meter fills with water, the display
will start flashing “- - -“; this indicates that the reading is in progress. As soon as water reaches the
meter’s upper sensor, the flashing stops and the flow rate is displayed on the LCD (See Fig 2). This
flow rate will continue to be displayed on the meter for 90 seconds or until the START button is
pressed to start a new reading. Once the reading has been displayed, the water can be poured out
of the open top of the meter (See Fig 3). Pouring out the contents of the meter will not aect the
reading being displayed on the LCD. If a reading must be restarted for some reason, simply empty
the meter and re-press the START button to ready it for a new measurement. PLEASE NOTE: The
most accurate measurements are made with the meter held at a slight angle to vertical as seen
in Fig. 1. This keeps the water flowing down into the meter along the back side of the meter and
keeps it from accidentally falling on and triggering the meter’s sensors.

TURNING THE METER OFF:

The meter will turn on any time the START button is pressed. The meter can be turned o in two
ways:

1. The meter can be shut o by pressing and holding the START button for several
seconds (about 3 seconds). As soon as the LCD goes blank, release the START button.

2. The meter will automatically shut itself o aer 90 seconds of inactivity. This means
that the user does not have to shut o the meter aer use since it will eventually shut itself o.

CHANGING MEASUREMENT UNITS:

The meter can be configured to display readings in either gallons per minute (gpm), ounces

per minute (oz/min), or liters per minute (L/min). To change the display units, the user must

first turn the meter o. Then press and hold the START button. Keep holding the START button
until the display shows “_ _ _” (about 3 seconds). When the display shows “_ _ _” release the
START button and the display will start flashing “_” above the unit type that is currently selected.
Press the START button to change this selection. Once the correct unit type is selected, wait
without pressing the START button for 5 seconds. The meter will then enter the new setting
and shut o. From that point forward, the meter will always display readings in the new units.

INSTALLING THE BATTERIES:

The batteries are housed inside the base of the meter (See Fig. 4). The black cap on the
bottom of the meter can be removed by pulling it straight o the end of the meter. The cap is
just a press fit onto the meter. Please use care to pull the cap o the meter so that the bottom
of the meter is pointing upward. This will keep the batteries from falling out of the meter
once the cap comes free which could put extra stress on the battery holder wires. The meter
requires two (2) N size alkaline batteries which are available at any drug store. Place both
new batteries in the battery holder following the polarity indication marked on the holder
(negative end towards the spring). Place the rubber retaining ring around the batteries once
they are in the holder as shown in Fig. 4. Then place the battery holder back into the end of
the meter and replace the black cap and press it firmly back onto the meter. When the meter’s
batteries need replacing, the meter will show “Lo b” on the LCD display aer the meter is
turned on. If this message is displayed, the batteries should be replaced as described above.

TROUBLESHOOTING:

The Spray Calibrator measures the flow rate by measuring the time it takes to fill the meter’s tube.
The rising water level is sensed by 3 electrodes in the meter. The meter will only function with fluids
that conduct electricity, such as water. In the case of distilled water, the conductivity may be too
low for proper meter operation. All tap water will work very well with the meter. Any substance that
coats or covers the exposed metal on the electrodes will hinder their ability to sense the water level.
Care should be taken to rinse the meter inside and out with clean tap water when measurements
are complete. This will keep any foreign material from building up on the electrodes. Complete
rinsing will also keep the diuser pad from becoming clogged and therefore hindering the flow of
water into or out of the meter during operation. If foaming or bubbles are a significant problem
inside the meter, a small drop of de-foaming agent may be added to the diuser pad prior to use.
