7.6 Calibration Procedure
Introduction
Apply power and allow the recorder to warm up for one hour before you calibrate.
Please read “
Set Up Wiring
” before beginning the procedure.
Make sure “LOCKOUT” is set to “NONE” (see
Section 3 – Configuration).
The calibration procedure for inputs #1 and #2 are identical. The displays indicate the input number.
CAUTION
For
milliampere inputs
, be sure the current source is at zero before switching on the calibrator.
Do not switch the calibrator on/off whi
le it is connected to the recorder’s input.
ATTENTION
For
linear inputs
, avoid step changes in input signal. Vary calibration source signal smoothly
from initial value to final 100% value.
Calibration procedure sequence
The calibration procedure sequence for all inputs is listed in Table 7-13.

Adjust your calibration device to an output signal
equal to the 0% range value for your particular input
sensor, see Table 7-2 for Voltage or Resistance
equivalents.
Wait 30 seconds, then go to step 3.
