  Calibrating the FCT [UB]

Calibrating Zero and Span

Before beginning this procedure, check the model
number of the unit to be calibrated for the appropri-
ate input/output type and range, and the required
power input type.

The two pots on the front panel of the FCT [UB] are
labeled “ZERO” and “SPAN”.  They are both 15-turn
potentiometers, equipped with slip clutch mecha-
nisms to prevent damage in the event of
overturning.

When calibrating the FCT [UB] zero and span, turn
the appropriate pot clockwise to increase the
setting, and counterclockwise  to decrease the
setting.

To Calibrate Zero and Span:

1. Turn both pots fully counterclockwise (minimum

zero and span, 15 turns), then approximately 7
turns clockwise.  This approximates mid-scale
for the pots.

2. Set the input source in the setup to 0% (zero

percent).  1V, for example, if the FCT [UB] being
calibrated is rated for 1-5V input.

3. Note the meter reading, and turn zero pot

clockwise  to raise 0% output, or
counterclockwise to lower 0% output, until the
correct level is achieved.

4. Set the input source to 100% (full scale).  5V, for

example, if the FCT [UB] being calibrated is
rated for 1-5V input.

5. Note the meter reading, and turn span pot

clockwise to raise 100% output, or
counterclockwise to lower 100% output, until the
correct level is achieved.

6. Repeat steps 2 through 5 until output is stable at

both zero and 100 percent input.
