Error Flag E-CL
If error flag “E-CL” appears at power-up, a loss of calibration parameters
due to noise spikes has occurred. Entering code 77 twice in Factory Service
Operations Module (9-FS) erases the controller calibration values and
defaults the values to nominal settings. Reading errors of
±
10% may result. It
is recommended that the controller be fully re-calibrated. If using
thermocouple only, the RTD calibration need not be performed.
Note: The “E-CL” flag may be cleared by “stepping” through cold junction or
linear output calibration procedures without the need to change any
calibration values. A 10% reading error will still exist.
Calibration For T48
When re-calibration is required (generally every two years), this procedure
should be performed by qualified technicians using appropriate equipment.
Equipment source accuracy of 0.03% or better is required.
The procedure consists of: applying accurate mV signals, setting the
thermocouple cold junction temperature, and applying precision resistance,
among others. Allow a 30 minute warm-up period before starting this procedure.
Do not use thermocouple wire for the Millivolt or RTD ohms Calibration.
This procedure may be aborted by disconnecting power to the controller
before exiting the configuration mode. The existing calibration settings
remain in affect.
Note: After completing any of the calibration sequences, the controller defaults
the input sensor type to thermocouple type “J” (tc-j). Be sure to set input
sensor for proper type.
Note: The controller must be restored to normal display mode before any data
is stored.
