6.7 CHANGING SENSOR INPUT TYPE
Sensor input type (and hence the model number) are established at the factory before shipping. Sensor
input type is set by setting two DIP switches on the main PCB inside the unit. If you wish to check the
DIP switch settings, open the unit using the procedure in Paragraph 6.5, Steps 1 thru 5. Use Figure 6-
10 to locate DIP Switches
S1
and
S2
. The sensor input settings are switched identically to change input
type. The settings are as follows.
DIP Switch S1

DIP Switch S2

To change sensor input type, DIP switches on S1 and S2 must be switched identically.

The Model 321 must be recalibrated when switched between sensor input types.
6.8 MODEL 321-01 (SILICON DIODE) CALIBRATION
There are two Model 321-01 (Silicon Diode) calibrations provided. If you have a 100 k
Ω
, 0.01% 25 ppm
precision resistor available, use the procedure in Paragraph 6.8.1. If no precision resistor is available,
use the optional procedure in Paragraph 6.8.2.
6.8.1 Model 321-01 Calibration (With Precision Resistor)
The Model 321-01 calibration with precision resistor is presented in four parts. First is list of test
equipment in Paragraph 6.8.1.1. Second is the test setup in Paragraph 6.8.1.2. Third is the input
calibration in Paragraph 6.8.1.3. Finally, analog output calibration is provided in Paragraph 6.8.1.4.
These procedures will be performed with power supplied to the unit. Due to the presence of lethal
currents, only personnel experienced in working with live circuits should perform this procedure.
6.8.1.1 Test
Equipment
This procedure requires the following test equipment:
•
Digital Multimeter (DMM) with a 4½-digit display, capable of 4-lead resistive measurements.
•
Precision Resistor, 100 k
Ω
, 0.01%, 25 ppm/°C.
6.8.1.2 Test
Setup
Calibration test setup is as follows:
WARNING:
Lethal line voltage is present inside the box. Only qualified personnel
should attempt to perform this procedure.
1. Set power switch to off and disconnect power cord from rear of unit.
2. Use 5/64 hex key to remove four screws attaching top panel to unit.
3. Use 5/64 hex key to loosen two screws attaching bottom panel to unit.
4. Carefully remove back bezel.
5. Slide top panel back and remove from unit.
