of flow meter control FOM 71 MP-lab. See Appendix 1)
The flow meter must be configured and calibrated in accordance with the in-
stallation manual. The configuration must adhere to the procedure at page 6 of

dependent on actual water pressure in the supply line and must be adjusted for
each installation. This calibration must be redone if water pressure in the supply
line changes.
A flow meter shall be checked on a regular basis. If necessary, recalibration must
be carried out in accordance with the procedures set out in the flow meter instal-
lation manual.
The check shall be carried out in accordance with one of the following procedu-
