Single Point Calibration Proving
To single point calibrate a product, the LCR 600 must make a delivery into a volumetric prover. The measurement
indicated by the volumetric prover is then entered into the LCR 600 to set the k-factor (pulses/unit). The new k-factor
establishes the number of pulses the LCR 600’s internal pulser registers for each unit of measurement that passes
through the meter (for example, 205.8 pulses for every gallon). When proving for use in Weights and Measures
applications, a qualied Weights and Measures technician must prove the meter.
Run the calibration delivery at the same ow rate of a
typical delivery.

CALIBRATION SETUP
Packing the Hose
If you are proving the meter with a hose and a nozzle, you will want to make sure the hose is packed before beginning
the proving delivery. This will ensure the same shut off point at the beginning and end of the delivery.
1. Turn the selector switch to RUN—do not open the hose
nozzle. The display will reset and the solenoid will open
the valve, packing the hose.
2. When the display has stopped incrementing, the hose is
packed.
3. Turn the selector switch to STOP. This will de-energize
the solenoid, close the valve, and reset the display.
4. Turn the selector switch to the calibration position and
follow the proving instructions.

Calibration Delivery Screen
To prove a meter system with single point
1. With the selector switch in the calibration position,
navigate to the Calibration Setup 1 screen.
2. Select the Calibration #: to be proved.
3. Move the pointer to Linearization Mode: and
select Setup.
4. Enter a k-Factor that approximates the size of the meter
being calibrated. See table on page 30.
5. Move the pointer to the BEGIN CALIBRATION
DELIVERY eld.
6. Press the EntEr button to begin the calibration delivery
into a volumetric prover. A delivery screen will appear that
shows the gross volume and ow rate.
7. Move the pointer to the END CALIBRATION
DELIVERY eld, at the bottom of the calibration delivery
screen, and press EntEr to end the delivery.
8. Move the pointer to the Prover Quantity: and
enter the quantity indicated by the volumetric prover.
The LCR 600 will automatically adjust the value in the
Pulses/Unit <k-Factor> eld to the correct value.
9. Repeat step 5 through 8. Check the prover volume and
the LCR 600 volume. If they are not within tolerance
limits, reprove the meter.
Proving can only be done in gross volume.
