CALIBRATION
The CHA is factory calibrated to ASTM certified color standards. It should not require recalibration for any reason.
Once Hyperterminal software is launched, a dialogue window will prompt you to "Enter a name
and choose an icon for the connection." Name the connection whatever you want, for example
"CHA 1." Ignore the choose icon option. Hit OK.
The "Connect To" dialogue box will now appear. On the last line where it says "Connect using"
choose the name of the communication port connected to the CHA via RS-485 from the drop-
down menu. Hit OK.
The "Port Settings" dialogue box will now appear. Enter the following values from the drop-down
menu:
Bits per second: 1200
Data bits: 7
Parity: Even
Stop bits: 2
Flow control: None
Hit OK.
A blank screen with prompt will now open. To display CHA readings type one of three prompts, E1, E2, or E3.
E1: Displays values for Z, Y, Z, and T (haze)
E2: Displays values for ASTM, Saybolt, PtCo (Platinum Cobalt), and T (haze)
E3: Displays all values
