Calibration - Procedures: mA input
1. Connect the instrument to the calibration equipment
2. Let the equipment get to a stable temperature
(minimum: 5 minutes since the last power on).
3. Use the calibration menu (Table 9) to do a three-point
calibration (-FS, Zero and +FS). The display shows the
applicable instructions to complete the calibration.
4. To make sure that the calibration is correct, select the
applicable mA input task (Table 2) and apply these
values:
• mA: -55, -40, -24, -18, -12, -6, 0 (open circuit)
Then mA: 0, 6, 12, 18, 24, 40, 55.
5. Make sure that the error is in the specified limits
Table 10:
mA input error limits
Calibration - Procedures: mA output
1. Connect the instrument to the calibration equipment
2. Let the equipment get to a stable temperature
(minimum: 5 minutes since the last power on).
3. Use the calibration menu (Table 9) to do a two-point
calibration (Zero and +FS). The display shows the
applicable instructions to complete the calibration.
4. To make sure that the calibration is correct, select the
applicable mA output task (Table 2) and set these
output values:
• mA: 0.1, 4, 12, 20, 24
5. Make sure that the error is in the specified limits
Table 11:
mA output error limits
Calibration - Procedures: mV/Volts input
1. Connect the instrument to the calibration equipment
2. Let the equipment get to a stable temperature
(minimum: 5 minutes since the last power on).
3. Use the calibration menu (Table 9) to do a three-point
calibration (-FS, Zero and +FS). The display shows the
applicable instructions to complete the calibration.
4. To make sure that the calibration is correct, select the
applicable mV or Volts input task (Table 2).
5. Then apply the input values that are applicable to the
calibration:
• mV: -120, -60, -30, 0 (short circuit)
Then mV: 0, 30, 60, 120
OR
• Volts (V): -30, -15, -5, 0 (short circuit)
Then volts (V): 0, 5, 15, 30
6. Make sure that the error is in the specified limits
