Calibrating the dosers

Calibrating the doser is what guarantees that an order to "dose 2 mL" actually delivers 2 mL to the aquarium. The calibration panel lives inside each doser's configuration — the Calibration button.

Step 1 · Fill the hose

Tap Purge and let the pump work until the hose is completely full, with no bubbles. Tap Stop.

Step 2 · Measure what the pump delivers

  1. Put the hose outlet into a graduated container — a measuring cylinder or a syringe.
  2. Tap Start Calibration: the pump runs for 60 seconds, with a countdown on screen.
  3. Measure the dosed volume and enter it in the Volume Measured field, in mL. The Dosing Rate is recalculated automatically.

Step 3 · Check

Still with the container at the outlet, tap Test Dosage and check the dose's volume:

If it deliveredWhat to do
More than configuredReduce the Dosing Rate (−) and test again
Less than configuredIncrease the Dosing Rate (+) and test again
