CALIBRATION

This unit is calibrated at the factory to meet the ordered 
specifications, therefore you usually do not need any cali-
bration.
For matching the signal to a receiving instrument or in case 
of regular calibration, adjust the output as explained in the 
following.

 

ZERO/SPAN & UP/DOWN SWITCHES

Fine zero and span adjustments can be done with the ZERO/
SPAN Selector and UP/DOWN switches.  Calibrated values 
are stored in the non-volatile memory, which will not be lost 
even when you turn off power supply to the unit.
The output 1 and output 2 can be independently adjustable.  
Zero and span are respectively set to 0% and 100% at the 
factory, and field calibration can be reset to ex-factory set-
ting if necessary.

Adjustable range: 

±5%

HOW TO CALIBRATE THE ZERO & SPAN

Use a signal source and measuring instruments of sufficient 
accuracy level.  Turn the power supply on and warm up for 
more than 10 minutes.
The output 1 and output 2 adjustments are linked except 
for (2) and (6).

1) Apply 0% input.
2) Select the Output 1 Zero: Slide the Zero/Span Selector to 

the position Z.

  Select the Output 2 Zero: Slide the Zero/Span Selector to 

the position Z while pressing UP switch.

3) Press UP or DOWN switch and adjust the output to 0%.  

Incrementing speed will be doubled when you keep press-

ing a switch.

4) Put the Zero/Span Selector back to the position OFF.
5) Apply 100% input.
6) Select the Output 1 Span: Slide the Zero/Span Selector to 

the position S.

  Select the Output 2 Span: Slide the Zero/Span Selector to 

the position S while pressing UP switch.

7) Press UP or DOWN switch and adjust the output to 

100%.  Incrementing speed will be doubled when you 

keep pressing a switch.

8) Put the Zero/Span Selector back to the position OFF.
9) Check Zero and Span adjustments again with 0% and 

100% input respectively.

10) If the output value is changed, repeat the above proce-

dure (1) – (9).

 

HOW TO RESET

After you calibrated manually with these switches, you 
can reset them to its ex-factory state by pressing both UP/
DOWN switches at once.
