Insight Ultimate Calibration

Monday, December 16th, 2013

A commonly asked question for our service staff is how to calibrate the Insight Ultimate Flow and Pressure Meter. Calibration of the meter is simple, and is described well in the manual (page 26), but sometimes it helps to actually see how things are done! There is a video available for each of the techniques.

Single Point Calibration
Calibrates the device at the most common flow rate. This is the simplest procedure and should serve well in most cases.

Multi Point Calibration
Calibrates the device at several flow rates. This can help improve accuracy when the flow sensor is installed in a difficult plumbing location.
