11.2 Calibrating the FX

It is recommended that the FX be calibrated once a year to assure its measurement
accuracy.
Calibration service is also provided by YOKOGAWA dealers.
For details, contact your nearest YOKOGAWA dealer.

Required Instruments

Calibration instruments with the following resolution are required for calibrating the FX.

Recommended Instruments

• DC voltage standard:

Fluke 9100 or equivalent

Main specifications

Output accuracy: ±(0.005% + 1 µV)

• Decade resistance box:

Yokogawa Meters & Instruments Model 2793-01
or equivalent

Main specifications

Accuracy of output range 0.1 to 500 Ω:
±(0.01% +2 mΩ)

Resolution: 0.001 Ω

• 0°C standard temperature device: ZC-114/ZA-10 by Coper Electronics or equivalent

Main specifications

Standard temperature stability accuracy: ±0.05°C

For information on purchasing the calibration instruments, contact your nearest
YOKOGAWA dealer.

Calibration Procedure

1.

Wire the FX and the calibration instrument as shown in the following figure, and

adequately warm up the instruments (the warm-up time of the FX is at least 30
minutes).

2.

Check that the operating environment such as ambient temperature and humidity

is within the standard operating conditions (see section 13.6).

3.

Apply appropriate input signals corresponding to 0, 50, and 100% of the input

range and calculate the errors from the readings.

If the error does not fall within the accuracy range of the specifications, contact your nearest
YOKOGAWA dealer.

Note

For thermocouple inputs, you must measure the temperature of the input terminal and apply a
voltage taking into account the reference junction temperature.
