Changing Volts Full Scale Settings ADAM/APAX Utility
The analog inputs are factory defaulted to 10 volts full scale. In some cases, it is desirable
to change the volts full scale to improve
accuracy (for a 0-1 or 0-100mV instrument).
To make this change:
1. Open the ADAM/APAX administration utility
under the Start Menu. The left side menu
should populate with the installed modules
and their IP addresses (Modules 1 through
3 10.0.0.101 through 10.0.0.103), and
correspond to input cards 1-3 accordingly.
2. If they do not immediately appear, right
click on
10.0.0.5
and select
Search
.
3. Select the card (module) and expand to show
the
6017 watch
icon. You will be asked for a
Password
- enter eight zeroes (
00000000
).
4. You will then see a list of the inputs, including their current readings. On the top pick list,
pick the appropriate index (0-7 = Inputs 1-8 on the first card, 9-16 on the second card, etc).
To recap, if we want to change the range on analog input 11, we would choose the module
10.0.0.102 and Index 2. Once you have selected the correct index, select the Input Range.

You will also need to ensure that the

is set
correctly. The
High Ou
t corresponds to the new full scale range, and the
Low Out

to a zero reading.
