6. ANALOG CIRCUITRY CALIBRATION

6.1 Analog 4-20 mA output Circuitry calibration

The Vortex 4-20 mA analog output calibration involves calculation and storing of
the offset and span variables in the EEPROM for both output channels. The fol-
lowing is a list of the EEPROM variables used for analog outputs computation:

Analog Output#1 variables:

Index Name

Description

32

Out1_Scale_mA -

Analog 4-20 mA Output #1 Scale

33

Out1_Offset_mA -

Analog 4-20 mA Output #1 Offset

Analog Output#2 variables:

Index Name

Description

34

Out2_Scale_mA -

Analog 4-20 mA Output #2 Scale

35

Out2_Offset_mA -

Analog 4-20 mA Output #2 Offset

NOTE: The PV data recorded in to the Data Log are only accessible
via digital communication interface. Use ASCII Interface Command Set
(see APPENDIX B) or Aalborg supplied Communication Utility to
retrieve (read) PV data from the meter.

,

NOTE: The 4-20 mA analog outputs available on the Vortex Flow Meter
were calibrated at the factory. There is no need to perform analog out
put calibration unless the CPU or TERM PCB was replaced. Any
alteration of the analog output scaling variables in the EEPROM table
will VOID calibration warranty supplied with instrument.

,

NOTE: It is recommended to use the Aalborg

®

supplied calibration and

maintenance software for analog output calibration. This software
includes an automated calibration procedure which may radically
simplify calculation of the offsets and spans variables and, the reading
and writing for the EEPROM table.
