INPUT CALIBRATION 

All inputs are factory calibrated and recalibration should only be done 

by qualified personnel. If you are not familiar with these procedures, 

do not attempt to calibrate this instrument. 
The calibration steps are: 

1.

 

Configure the input type to be calibrated. 

2.

 

Configure the lower and upper indication limits for the maximum 

span of the selected input type. 

3.

 

Connect to the input terminals a signal corresponding to a known 

indication value a little above the lower display limit. 

4.

 

Access the 

inLC

 

parameter. With the   and   keys, adjust the 

display reading to match the applied signal. Then press the 

P

 key 

to store it.

 

5.

 

Inject a signal that corresponds to a value a little lower than the 

upper limit of indication. 

6.

 

Access the 

inHC

 

parameter. With the   and   keys, adjust 

the display reading to match the applied signal. Then press the 

key to store it.

 

7.

 

Validate the calibration. 

Note:

  When checking the calibration with a Pt100 simulator, pay 

attention to the simulator minimum excitation current requirement, 

which may not be compatible with the 0.170 mA excitation current 

provided by the digital panel meter. 

ANALOG OUTPUT CALIBRATION 

1.

 

Configure the retransmission type (

retr

 = 

p.0.20

).

 

2.

 

Install a milliampere meter at the terminals 18(+) and 19(-).

 

3.

 

Enter the Calibration Cycle. 

4.

 

Select the 

ovl(

 

screen.

 

5.

 

Press the key 

 

 or the key 

 

.

 

6.

 

Read the current value displayed on the milliampere meter. 

Through the 

 

 and 

 

 keys, adjust the value displayed on the 

digital panel meter

 

to match the value displayed on the 

milliampere meter. 

 

7.

 

Press the 

key to save and access the 

ovK

(

 

parameter.

 

8.

 

Press the key 

 

 or the key 

 

.

 

9.

 

Reread the new current value displayed by the milliampere 

meter. Through the 

 

 and 

 

 keys, adjust the value displayed 

on the digital panel meter

 

to match the value displayed on the 

milliampere meter.

 

10.

 

Read the current displayed in the milliampere meter  and 

indicated in the 

ovkC

 screen through the 

 

 and 

 

 keys.

 

11.

 

Exit the Calibration Cycle. 

12.

 

Validate the performed calibration.
