3. In the Station Manager window’s Station Controls, reset the interlock and apply station power:

a. Click Reset to remove the interlock.

b. Apply hydraulic pressure to the station.

Method 2

Use this method if the feedback remains saturated after using Method 1 to change the Current Range.

1. In the Station Manager window’s Station Controls panel:

a. Click Reset/Override to provide enough time to override the interlock.

Each click provides 10 seconds of override time.

b. Apply low hydraulic pressure.

Applying low station power displays the Control Channel Saturation Warning message:

“One or more of the control channel(s) is saturated. Actuator movement may occur when hydraulics
are turned on. Press ‘Allow’ to turn hydraulics ON.”

Warning:

Applying hydraulics can result in sudden actuator motion.

A moving actuator can injure anyone in its path.

Always clear the actuator area before applying hydraulics.

2. Allow hydraulic pressure to be turned on.

In the Control Channel Saturation Warning window, click Allow.

The software turns on low pressure hydraulics and moves the actuator to the limit of its current range.

How to Recover from Inadvertent Use of Electrical Zero

To modify the parameters and sensor data to recover from the inadvertent use of the Electrical Zero control
associated with Gain/Linearization type calibrations, you need to know when the control was set.

When set before calibration

If the Electrical Zero value was set before the calibration was performed, there are two methods you may use
to recover the calibration:

1. Method 1

This method adds the value of the Electrical Zero control to the Fine Zero control. This results in calibration
data that may be moved (via sensor file or transducer ID module) to other conditioners.

a. Note the value of the Electrical Zero control on the Offset/Zero tab of the Inputs panel.
