Setup Utilities

•

Input Monitor

This option displays the input monitor
screen, which shows the data values from
external sensors and inputs. A

Zero

Displacement

utility is also provided.

•

Toroid Settings

This utility is used adjust the toroid
calibration. The calibration is set at the
factory for use with a toroid that has a CF of
0.400 (calibration factor of 400). When
installing a toroid, the CF setting labeled on
the toroid should be entered as a whole number in this screen (Example CF of 0.354 should be
entered as 354).

•

Calibrate Voltage

This utility is used to calibrate the voltage sensor input channel. The voltage calibration values
are set at the factory, and therefore do not require calibration.

•

Calibrate Force

This utility is used to calibrate the force sensor input channel. The Force channel must be
calibrated when a new force or pressure sensor is installed.

•

Calibrate Displacement

This utility is used to calibrate the displacement sensor input channel. This channel should be
calibrated when a new displacement sensor is installed.
