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.

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.
