Step IV: Programming New Constants in the Gauge
MC3: Press the Step and Calib. key on the front panel. Select Wet Coefficients,
using the select key to change the depth. The A, B, C and A, B coefficients may
be entered by pressing the Enter key.
3430: Press the special key and use the arrow keys to select Calib. Constants.
Enter the code 4678 using the arrow keys. Enter the E and F constants (moisture
constants), select depth and enter the A, B and C constants. Use the arrow keys
to choose the depth.
3440: Press Shift-Special 1, then 9 and enter the code 4688. Some gauges
require a secondary code, which is 5936. Select Calibration Constants from
menu and follow the screen prompts and enter the E & F moisture constants and
select the depths for entering the A, B and C constants.
3430 and 3440 Plus: Contact Troxler to purchase codes in order to enter
constants into these gauges. Troxler charges their customers an additional fee
for performing this step.
3500, 3500 Xplorer 2 and SmartPanel: Press menu, use up and down keys, select
calibration constants, Enter code (4659) and press enter. Then enter constants
for moisture (E and F) and A, B and C constants for all depths.
3411B and Humboldt 5001: These units utilize an EPROM (Eraceable
Programmable Read Only Memory) Chip. Fax or email the new constants report
to InstroTek and we will program a chip for you. On receipt of the programmed
chip remove the old chip noting the position of the reference notch on the top.
Use a small screwdriver to leverage the chip from the socket. You may also
purchase a Prom Programmer Package for burning proms at your facility. If you
choose to purchase a PROM programmer package, you may use VeriFier to
create new hexfiles for Troxler 3411B and Humboldt 5001C gauges.
Humboldt EZ:
Changing A, B, C, E & F constants in the H5001EZ gauge:
1. Turn Power ON. (The processor will automatically initialize. Wait
approximately 5 seconds)
2. Change A, B, C, E & F constants:
a. MAIN MENU
b. F3 (ENGINEERING)
c. F1 (CALIBRATE)
