SENSOR CALIBRATION

The Digimatic can be calibrated automatically, manually or by a combination of the two methods.  

Usually, automatic calibration is the simplest method, particularly when the vessel can be filled to cover 

the probe.  

Manual calibration is useful when a number of probes in similar applications need to be set.  Once the 
correct calibration has been determined and noted, on one system, the remainder can be set to the 
same setting.

AUTOMATIC CALIBRATION (MATERIAL AVAILABLE) -

1. 

Set Park/Cal switch 

(A - Image D) 

to Cal and Auto/Man switch 

(C - Image D) to Auto. The Cal 

LED will flash.

2.  Ensure that the probe is uncovered and press and hold the “

Probe Un-Covered / Lower” 

button (F - Image D) button.  The display will show UXXX followed by RXXX.

3. 

Fill the vessel sufficiently to cover the probe and then press the 

Probe Covered / Raise” 

button (E - Image D) button.  Display will show CXXX followed by RXXX.

4. 

Return the Park/Cal switch 

(A - Image D) to park.  The unit is now calibrated.  UXXX and 

CXXX values can be viewed but not altered by pressing the “

Probe Un-Covered / Lower” and 

Probe Covered / Raise” buttons.

SEMI-AUTOMATIC CALIBRATION (MATERIAL NOT AVAILABLE) -

5.  Follow steps 1 & 2 above.

6. 

Set Cal/Park switch 

(A - Image D) to Park and press the “

Probe Un-Covered / Lower” 

button 

(F - Image D) 

button.  Note the UXXX reading but ignore the RXXX reading.  Return the Cal/

Park switch (A - Image D) 

to Cal and set the Auto/Man switch 

(C - Image D) to Man.

7.  From Table A below, select the nearest material type to be detected for your application and 

add the value to the UXXX reading determined in step 6.

8.  Press the “

Probe Covered / Raise” 

button (E - Image D) button to raise the reading and 

the “

Probe Un-Covered / Lower” 

button (F - Image D) to lower the reading to achieve the 

calculated setting from step 7.

9. 

Return the Cal/Park switch 

(A - Image D) to Park and press and hold the “

Probe Covered / 

Raise” button (E - Image D)

 to confirm that the relay operating point RXXX is correctly set.  

The UXXX and CXXX settings will be one below and one above the readings.
