C.F. = 84.7/250 = .3388

On the IT275I PCB:

Set S3 #1 ‘ON’ (

↓ Position) does not move decimal point

On the IT275F PCB:

Set S5@3, S6@3, S7@8, S8@8 (.3388)

Set S4 in ‘0’ Position (0.3388)


Note: If the gallons per unit volume such as 7.48 gallons per FT

3

is known, but not the unit volume per

gallon as required to calculate calibration factor; take the reciprocal of gallons per unit
volume to derive the unit volume per gallon; i.e. 7.48 gallons per FT

3

1/7.48 = .13369

FT

3

per gallon


Example 6:

The engineering unit is ACF (FT

3

)

K-Factor = 250 pulses per gallon

ACF = .13369 per gallon

C.F. = .13369 / 250 = .00053476

On the IT275I PCB:

Set S3 #4 ‘ON’ (

↓ Position) moves decimal point right 3 places

On the IT275F PCB:

Set S5@5, S3@3, S7@4, S8@8 (.5348 rounding the 4

th

digit)

Set S4 in ‘0’ Position (0.5348)


Example 7:

Desired Engineering Unit is ACF x 10

K-Factor = 250 pulses per gallon

ACF = .13369 per gallon


In order to establish x 10, decrease ACF/gal by a factor of 10

C.F. = .013369 / 250 = .00005348

On the IT275I PCB:

Set S3 #5 ‘ON’ (

↓ Position) moves decimal point right 4 places

On the IT275F PCB:

Set S5@5, S6@3, S7@4, S8@8 (.5348 rounding the 4

th

digit)

Set S4 in ‘0’ Position (0.5348)


Field Correction of Calibration Factor

To adjust the calibration factor to reflect the turbine’s actual response to the operating conditions,
incorporate the following formula:
