Section 11 - Calibration
Calibration describes all possible field calibration procedures for the recorder as well as methods of invoking
default program and calibration values. The procedures described include the input and range calibration as well
as chart calibration.
From the Normal Display, press the
until CALIBRATION appears in the lower display line. If PASSWORD
appears in the lower display line, the correct "password" will need to be entered before access to Calibration is
allowed. If CALIBRATION is not displayed, then Calibration has been disabled. Refer to Section 9, Enables and
Passwords, for instructions to enable Calibration.
Press the
to display CALIBRATION in the upper display and SOLENOID ADJUSTMENT in the lower
display line. Press the
to advance the lower display to other calibrations available.
The table below (Table 11-1) lists the calibration routines. All instruments are calibrated prior to shipment from
the factory.
CAUTION: Do not attempt any calibration without the proper test equipment that meets or exceeds the
specifications listed below.

TABLE 11-1 CALIBRATION ROUTINES
Input Calibration
Performs calibration of all input sources
Parameter Defaults
Invokes the default values for all program parameters
Chart Calibration
Performs calibration of the pen to the chart. It is recommended that chart
calibration be performed whenever the chart size is changed.
Milliamp Outputs
Performs calibration of current outputs
Solenoid Adjustment
Allows calibration of the current through the solenoid driver and is adjusted at the
factory to maximize life of the solenoid actuators. This procedure would not
normally need to be performed in the field.
Calibration Defaults
Invokes the calibration default values.
