Calibration
5-10 ADAM 4000 Series User's Manual
4. Issue the Analog Data Out command to the module with an output
value of 4 mA.
5. Check the actual output value at the modules terminals . If this does not
equals 4 mA, use the “Trim” option in the “CaLibrate” sub menu to
change the actual output. Trim the module until the milliammeter
indicates exactly 4 mA or in case of an voltage meter with shunt resistor,
the voltage meter indicates exactly 1 V. (When calibrating for 20 mA
using voltage meter and shunt resistor, the correct voltage would be 5
V.)
6. Issue the 4 mA Calibration command to indicate that the output is
calibrated and calibration parameters should be stored in the modules
EEPROM.
7. Execute an Analog Data Out command with an output value of 20 mA.
The module’s output will be approximately 20 mA.
8. Execute the Trim Calibration command as often as necessary until the
output current is equal to exactly 20 mA.
9. Execute the 20 mA Calibration command to indicate that the present
output is exactly 20 mA. The analog output module will store its
calibration parameters in EEPROM.
