5.5  Input Calibration Procedure  
Preliminary Steps 
•  Apply power and allow the controller to warm up for 30 minutes before you calibrate. 
•  Please read Subsection 5.3 before beginning the procedure. 
•  Make sure you have LOCK set to NONE. See Subsection 3.4 – Loop 1 Tuning Set 
Up Group
. 
•  See Table 5-1 for Voltage vs. Resistance equivalents or 0 % and 100 % range values. 
CAUTION 
For linear inputs, avoid step changes in inputs. Vary smoothly from initial value to final 100 % value. 
Procedure 
The calibration procedure for Input #1 or 2 is listed in Table 5-12.

•  Adjust your calibration device to an output signal equal 
to the 0 % range value for your particular input sensor. 
See 
Table 5-1 for Voltage, Degrees, or Resistance 
equivalents for 0 % range values. 
• 
Wait 15 seconds, then go to the next step.
