# Calibration

## <img src="/files/SgrkYdQlWtKd0MmS25WV" alt="" data-size="line"> Mandatory Firmware Check

{% hint style="info" %}
Please Note: The calibration process was significantly updated on 30/01/2025. To ensure your device operates correctly and follows the steps in this manual, you must be running this firmware version or newer.
{% endhint %}

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

### Prepare the Machine

**Mark the Purge Tube:** Locate the stainless steel purge dip tube (on the right side of the unit). Measure 100mm up from the bottom of the tube and mark this clearly with a wipeable marker.

**Connect Gas:** Attach your gas line to the red carbonation cap. This is required to clear the line during the calibration process.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Enter Calibration Mode

To enter the calibration mode: **Select** <img src="https://docs.rapt.io/~gitbook/image?url=https%3A%2F%2F570278281-files.gitbook.io%2F%7E%2Ffiles%2Fv0%2Fb%2Fgitbook-x-prod.appspot.com%2Fo%2Fspaces%252FUqN4sW0x2s4yh6iiT8NN%252Fuploads%252FJVin8Ct47ODMRC9a2qab%252FENTER%2520RAPT.png%3Falt%3Dmedia%26token%3D077fda61-812a-4aaa-8693-2e8d66c23e2e&#x26;width=40&#x26;dpr=4&#x26;quality=100&#x26;sign=731735a3&#x26;sv=1" alt="" data-size="line"> then navigate through the menu to **Calibrate** then press **Fill**.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Set the 1st Calibration Point (Ambient/Empty)

**Clear the Line:** Remove the purge tube from container or liquid. Press **Select** <img src="https://docs.rapt.io/~gitbook/image?url=https%3A%2F%2F570278281-files.gitbook.io%2F%7E%2Ffiles%2Fv0%2Fb%2Fgitbook-x-prod.appspot.com%2Fo%2Fspaces%252FUqN4sW0x2s4yh6iiT8NN%252Fuploads%252FJVin8Ct47ODMRC9a2qab%252FENTER%2520RAPT.png%3Falt%3Dmedia%26token%3D077fda61-812a-4aaa-8693-2e8d66c23e2e&#x26;width=40&#x26;dpr=4&#x26;quality=100&#x26;sign=731735a3&#x26;sv=1" alt="" data-size="line">.&#x20;

**Capture Reading:** Press **Select** <img src="https://docs.rapt.io/~gitbook/image?url=https%3A%2F%2F570278281-files.gitbook.io%2F%7E%2Ffiles%2Fv0%2Fb%2Fgitbook-x-prod.appspot.com%2Fo%2Fspaces%252FUqN4sW0x2s4yh6iiT8NN%252Fuploads%252FJVin8Ct47ODMRC9a2qab%252FENTER%2520RAPT.png%3Falt%3Dmedia%26token%3D077fda61-812a-4aaa-8693-2e8d66c23e2e&#x26;width=40&#x26;dpr=4&#x26;quality=100&#x26;sign=731735a3&#x26;sv=1" alt="" data-size="line">. The unit will purge the line and display `Purging > Waiting for Pressure to Stabilize`. This sets the baseline "zero" value for ambient pressure.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Set the 2nd Calibration Point (Reference Height)

**Prepare Reference Water:** Place a container (a glass is ideal) under the fill & purge tubes. Fill it with water until the water level exactly hits the 100mm mark you made in Step 1.

**Check Value:** Ensure the measurement value on the screen matches the height of your water (e.g., 100mm). If you used a different height, update the value on the screen now.

**Capture Reading:** Wait for the pressure sensor value to stabilise (fluctuating by only a few points). **Select** <img src="https://docs.rapt.io/~gitbook/image?url=https%3A%2F%2F570278281-files.gitbook.io%2F%7E%2Ffiles%2Fv0%2Fb%2Fgitbook-x-prod.appspot.com%2Fo%2Fspaces%252FUqN4sW0x2s4yh6iiT8NN%252Fuploads%252FJVin8Ct47ODMRC9a2qab%252FENTER%2520RAPT.png%3Falt%3Dmedia%26token%3D077fda61-812a-4aaa-8693-2e8d66c23e2e&#x26;width=40&#x26;dpr=4&#x26;quality=100&#x26;sign=731735a3&#x26;sv=1" alt="" data-size="line">. The unit now knows the pressure-to-depth ratio.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Run a Test Fill With Water

**Set Your Target:** Place your actual can or bottle in the filling position. Decide where you want the liquid to stop and mark that spot on the purge tube.

**Measure & Program:** Measure from the bottom of the tube up to this new mark. Enter this value (in mm) into your Fill Preset.

**Test:** Connect your water source to the yellow carbonation cap (max 15psi). Select your preset, place your container, and press Run.
