Sometimes it is necessary to re-calibrate the 4
values. This can be easily achieved by following the below procedure.

1.

 

Apply a fixed accurate 4mA source to the current loop interface.

2.

 

Dropdown the 'Calibrate Loop' menu and select 'Set 4mA Point'.

3.

 

Change the source current on the interface to an accurate 20mA.

4.

 

Dropdown the 'Calibrate Loop' menu and select the 'Set 20mA Point'.

5.

 

Change the loop current to any random value between 4mA and 20mA.

6.

 

Press the 'Get Current Setup' button and read back the settings.

7.

 

This random loop current should now display correctly in the 'General Details' box as 'Loop Current'.

8.

 

Disconnect loop current. 

Upgrading firmware on the logger can be done through the Bluetooth interface. Newer versions of the software for each 
type of device is embedded into the Cloudworks software so will not need an internet connection to collect the data.

When in Command Mode, press the 'Upgrade Firmware' button. The first thing the software  will do is to determine  the 

current firmware version on the logger and see if
