How to restore it 
The factory calibration constants for all the input actuation types that can be used with the DR4500A 
recorder are stored in its nonvolatile memory. Thus, you can quickly restore the “Factory Calibration” for a 
given input actuation type by simply configuring the actuation type through the IN1 TYPE (or IN2 TYPE) 
prompt to another type and then changing it back to the original type. See Table 7-1 for the procedure. 
 
This procedure applies only for factory-installed inputs. Any input that was field-installed must 
be field calibrated. 
 
Procedure 
Table 7-1 lists the procedure for restoring factory calibration.
