CALIBRATION

Zero Calibration

The  zero  calibration  can  be  set  by  covering  the  sensor  to  ensure  no  air  flow  and 

pressing the zero button for 3 seconds. If either the remote or local LCD is present, the 

display will read

 

ZEro

 and then sequence back to the home display.

SPAN Calibration

The span calibration can be adjusted only after setting the zero adjustment. It must 

be completed within 5 minutes of the last zero calibration. The span calibration button 

will be ignored until the zero calibration is completed. Place the sensor in airflow that 

matches  the  maximum  selected  range  of  the  transmitter.  Press  and  hold  the  span 

button for 3 seconds. If either the remote or local LCD is present, the display will read 

SPAn

 and then sequence back to the home display. If the span calibration is attempted 

before adjusting the zero calibration, the 

FAiL

 error message will be displayed briefly 

before returning to the home display.

LCD Display

The  Series  AVLV  can  be  ordered  with  an  optional,  integral  LCD.  It  comes  with  a 

housing cover and overlay to protect the display. The display will plug into the pins as 

shown in Figure 5. If the display is not needed for normal operation, the transmitter can 

be ordered without the LCD. 

Another option for models that do not have a display would be to use a Model A-435-A 

remote display tool which can plug into the connector shown in Figure 6. The remote 

display tool has two buttons that function identically to the buttons on the PCB.

Display Error Messages

ovEr

 

=  The  air  velocity  is  greater  than  the  maximum  span  value  causing  an  Over 

Range Error

UndEr

 = The air velocity is less than the minimum span value causing an Under Range 

Error

FAiL

 = When the span or zero buttons are pressed, the air velocity value is out of the 

range to allow a correct setting. This may be due to a sensor failure.

Err1

 = The sensor is damaged.

PROGRAMMING MENUS

Home Menu

During normal operation, the display will be in the Home Menu and will display the 

current measured pressure and the engineering units.  

Menu Access Security

While in the Home Menu, press and hold the Zero and Span buttons simultaneously 

until 

SECUr

 appears on the display in order to access the other programming menus.  

Upon releasing the buttons, the display will indicate the current security level.  

If the current security level is the security level desired (i.e. Security Level 0), press 

and hold the span button for 3 seconds to enter the Velocity or Air Flow Menu.  

If  the  security  level  is  not  the  desired  level,  the  security  level  can  be  changed 

temporarily to a lower security level or permanently to a higher level of security by 

pressing  the zero button. A security code will  appear  on the display, and it can be 

changed to one of the codes listed in Table 3. The span button chooses which digit 

and the zero button increments the value of that digit.  Pressing and holding the span 

button will store the value.  

The level of access to the programming menus and the calibration is limited based on 

the security level. Table 3 details the level of access for each security level.

There is a 5 second delay from the time the zero or span calibration 

buttons are released until the time that the change in calibration 

takes place. This delay is used to reduce vibration or disturbances of the user related 

to the button presses.  

The  security  level  that  is  set  in  the  Programming  Menu  section 

of  the  manual  will  determine  which  calibrations,  if  any,  may  be 

adjusted by the user.
