Sample Fan Calibration Report HYDROLOGICAL SERVICES PTY. LTD., AUSTRALIA CERTIFICATE OF CALIBRATION Date: 27/4/ Current Meter Model: xxxxxx Serial No Fan No. 1 Serial No Diameter: 125mm Pitch: 0.25m Type of Support: Method of Calibration: Average Value Equation n < 0.42 V = n m/s 0.42 < n < 3.73 V = n m/s n > 3.73 V = n m/s Starting Velocity = m/s Maximum Velocity = m/s Note: 'n' denotes the number of revolutions of the propeller per second 'V' is the water velocity in meters per second. Range Values SlopeIntercept

Battery Replacement 1.Open both side panels 2.Remove and discard old batteries 3.Install 2 x ‘AA’ alkaline batteries Holding ‘ON/OFF’, ‘Select’ and ‘Function’ buttons simultaneously will re-set PVD100
