Maintenance

Caution
Cut off all power before maintenance.

The maintenance includes:

  • cleaning of the housing and terminal blocks from dust, dirt and derbis
  • checking the device fastening
  • checking the wiring (connecting leads, fastenings, mechanical damage)
Notice
The device should be cleaned with a damp cloth only. No abrasives or solvent-containing cleaners may be used.

Calibration

Calibration is intended to restore the metrological characteristics of the device in case of their change after prolonged use or repair work and consists in selecting the minimum and maximum values of the output signal.

Danger
Calibration of the device should be carried out only by qualified specialists of metrological services.

Calibration is carried out only for analog outputs. To do this:

  • connect the load (Rload) and a voltmeter to the output according to Figures (for output of type У) and (for output of type И);
  • apply power to the device.
Notice
As Rload, you can use the resistance box P4831 or similar with an accuracy class of not more than 0.05, and as a voltmeter, a device with an accuracy class of not more than 0.05, for example, B1-12.

0 is displayed – the device is in operating mode.

Calibration of output voltage values
Calibration of output current values

The calibration algorithm for analog output:

  1. By changing the DAC code and controlling the current (voltage) at the output of the analog device, to achieve the value of the output signal corresponding to the lower limit of the output current or voltage (in general, 4 mA or 0 V).
  2. Commit the current DAC code as the lower desired limit of the signal at the output of the analog device.
  3. By changing the DAC code and controlling the current (voltage) at the output of the analog device, to achieve the value of the output signal corresponding to the upper desired limit of the output current or voltage (in the general case, 20 mA or 10 V).
  4. Commit the current DAC code as the upper desired current limit at the output of the analog device.
  5. Set APPLY parameter to YES.
  6. Exit the calibration menu.
Notice
To apply the calibration parameters, you need to edit both LdAC and HdAC.

Calibration can be carried out using the service menu of the device or via the RS-485 network.

The commands used when calibration over the RS-485 network are given in Appendix (section “Calibration”).

Set the LdAC and HdAC parameters to achieve that the value of the output signal corresponds to a lower or upper desired limit of the output current (voltage). The first submission of these commands is considered the implementation of paragraphs 2 and 4 of the calibration algorithm, respectively.
