A.
CHANGING SENSOR ACTIVE LENGTH RANGE
NOTE: IF THIS STEP IS REQUIRED, IT SHOULD BE
PERFORMED BY QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL. SEE
THE QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL SECTION. There
are two sensor active length ranges — 1”-7.99” and 8”-60”. If
the instrument is currently calibrated for a sensor in a particular
range and the new sensor is in the same range, then this step
does not need to be taken—the range-setting jumpers are
already in the correct position. For example, if the instrument is
currently calibrated to an 18” sensor active length, and is being
re-calibrated to a 12” sensor active length, then the jumpers are
already both in the 8”-60” position; there is no need to open up
the unit. All needed adjustments can be made through the side
access holes in the lid.
B.
ACTIVE LENGTH CALIBRATION
1.
Jumper the I+ and V+ contacts (pins 1 and 8) on the SENSOR connector together
and connect to one side of the
calibration resistor
. Jumper the I- and V- contacts
(pins 6 and 7) on the sensor connector together and connect to the other side of
the
calibration resistor
. The value of the
calibration resistor
should be (4.56
ohms) x (the active length of the sensor in cm); remember that the active length
of AMI standard sensors is 1 inch less than the overall length.
2.
Temporarily install a short circuit (using a clip lead or other means) across the
calibration resistor
.
3.
Depress the READ switch.
4.
Adjust the SPAN potentiometer located on the circuit board through the side
access hole in the lid until the display LCD reads 100.0. Refer to Figure 1.
5.
Release the READ switch.
6.
Remove the short from the
calibration resistor
.
7.
Depress the READ switch.
8.
Adjust the ZERO potentiometer located on the circuit board through the side
access hole in the lid until the display LCD reads 0.0. Refer to Figure 1.
9.
Release the READ switch.
10.
Repeat steps 2 through 9 until neither potentiometer needs adjusting.
11.
Remove the jumper wires and
calibration resistor
.
12.
The calibration procedure is complete.
13.
Reconnect the sensor to the instrument.
