Teledyne 450H instruction manual Current Loop Calibration

5.4 Current Loop Calibration

A current loop option can be ordered that will provide a 0-20mA or 4-20mA output on the analog output. This calibration must be repeated every time an A/D - D/A calibration is performed. To calibrate the current output, perform the following steps:

1.Perform an A/D - D/A calibration as outlined in Section 5.3.

2.Connect a Multimeter capable of measuring milliamperes to the analog output on the rear panel. Note: When measuring the current output with a multimeter or similar low-impedance current measuring device, a 400- 450 ohm resistor must be placed in series with the meter to simulate a load. Failure to do this will result in erroneous readings.

3.From the front panel, press SETUP-DIAG. Press NEXT until D/A CALIBRATION appears and press ENTR. Press CFG and the properties for analog output Channel 0 will be displayed on the top line. The display should show something like:

DIAG D/A			0) O3_CONC_1,CURR, NOT CAL
	NEXT	CAL		SET	EXIT

4.This indicates that channel 0 is setup for current output and has not been calibrated. If the display shows VOLT instead of CURR then the channel must be setup for current output. To do this, press SET, select CURR as the output type and press ENTR.

5.Next press CAL to begin the calibration. At this point the display should show:

DIAG D/A		CAL O3_CONC_1,CURR, ZERO
U100	UP10	UP	DOWN DN10 D100 ENTR EXIT

6.The zero point for current output can now be set. Pressing UP, UP10 and U100 will step the zero point up in increments of 1, 10 and 100 steps. The
