Multi-Point Linearization
Multi-Point Linearization must be configured using a PC and supplied ConsoliDator Monitor
Software. After communication has been established between PC and ConsoliDator, select
System Settings
from the software’s menu bar. Next, select a channel to set up from the
Analog Input Channels
drop-down menu and press
Edit Channel
. Select
[Multi-Point Linearization] from
Channel
Function
drop-down menu. Use
Add
,
Edit
, and
Del
to manipulate the
Multi-Point Data Table.
Continue with other settings in this menu and
press
Save
when complete. Reference
ConsoliDator Monitor Software
(page 51

for help
setting up the PC connection.
Sensor Input Setup
The simplest method is to assign low sensor input reading to a corresponding process
value (zero point) and then assign a high sensor input reading to a corresponding
process value (span.) The sensor input may be read from a live signal or entered
manually.
1. Select
Configure Sensor Input
.
2.
In the new box that appears move cursor to
Low Value
and press
EDIT
. Use the
arrows to enter a process value associated with a low sensor point. Press
SAVE
.
3.
Move cursor to
High Value
and press
EDIT
. Use the arrows to enter a process
value associated with a high sensor point. Press
SAVE
.
4.
Next, enter the
Sensor
points corresponding to the process values entered in
(2)-
(3)
– for example: 4.00 mA and 20.00 mA. To read a live signal corresponding
with the process value follow
(a.)
To enter a signal point manually follow
(b.)
a.
Verify connections and set transmitter to the appropriate level. Allow to
settle for a few seconds. Position cursor at the
Sensor
parameter –
located under the corresponding process value on the screen – and
press
LIVE
.
b.
To manually enter a signal level into the
Sensor
parameter
corresponding to the process value entered in
(2)
, position cursor in
front of
Sensor
– located under
Low Value
on the screen – and press
EDIT
. Use the arrow keys to enter a sensor value in mA. Press
SAVE
when completed.
5.
Verify entries and press
EXIT
.
Notes:
1. Controller requires a minimum span of 1 mA.
2. High and Low process values may be scaled in a negative direction for a decreasing process.
For example: 100 gal High Value at 4 mA Sensor and 0 gal High Value at 20 mA Sensor.
