Input Calibration
4/07 UDC2500 Universal Digital Controller Product Manual 137
Calibration Steps
Use the following steps when calibrating an input.
Step Action
1
Find the minimum and maximum range values for your PV input range from
Table 5-1.
2
Disconnect the field wiring and find out what equipment you will need to calibrate.
3
Wire the calibrating device to your controller according to the set up wiring instructions
for your particular input (Subsection
5.4 or 5.6).
4
Follow the calibration procedure given for Input #1 or Input #2 (Subsection
5.5 or 5.7).
5.2 Minimum and Maximum Range Values
Select the Range Values
Calibrate the controller for the minimum (0 %) and maximum (100 %) range values of
your particular input type. Two input controllers will need to have each input calibrated
separately.
Select the Voltage, Current or Resistance equivalents for 0 % and 100 % range values
from Table 5-1 and Table 5-2. Use these values when calibrating your controller.
