17. If calibration is needed, calibrate static pressure first, then differential
pressure, using a deadweight tester or acceptable standard. Insure
that both orifice taps are closed and bypass valves are open during
AP calibration to avoid a
false DP
. Make sure there are no leaks in
the manifold or test equipment.
18. Perform
as left
calibration checks as needed.
19. Place unit on line: To avoid inducing toggle and/or a calibration shift,
close vent valve, open both bypass valves, then open orifice tap
valves SLOWLY (high pressure side first). Once both orifice tap
valves are fully opened, the bypass valves can be closed.
20. Verify that the unit is calculating volume correctly. Watch the display
or look at the
Current Values
in the
Entry Mode
of PCCU32.
21. Collect data and review the event and characteristic files to insure all
parameters are set properly.
22.
Optional:
When you are reasonably sure that all setup and
calibration is complete and the unit is on line calculating volume, it is
recommended that a
Reset Volume
command be sent using PCCU.
This allows the unit to have what might be considered as an official
starting point for good live data. The
Reset Volume
will be recorded
in the
Events
file to mark the date and time.
