1.3 Calibrating the Analog Outputs
Every Model DF868 flowmeter includes two built-in analog outputs (A and B) at terminal block I/O, which is
designated as Slot 0. Both the zero-point and full-scale values for each output must be calibrated. After calibrating the
outputs, which have a resolution of 5.0 A (0.03% full scale), their linearity should be tested.
Note: The zero point of the analog output may be set for either 0 mA or 4 mA. However, the calibration procedure
always uses the 4 mA point, as the meter will extrapolate this value to obtain the 0 mA point.
Prepare for the calibration procedure by connecting an ammeter to analog output A of Slot 0, as shown in Figure 1
below. Refer to the menu map in Figure 6 on page 13.
