Step VI: EPROM Removal and Installation
(Static charges may damage silicone chips. Ground yourself while installing EPROM.)
1. Loosen the front panel for the gauge requiring EPROM installation.
2. Locate the EPROM on the circuit board of the front panel. (IC that has a
sticker with the gauge serial number and last calibration date.)
3. Make a note to the position of the notch in the top of the chip.
4. Remove the old chip with a small flat blade screwdriver or chip removal tool.
5. Reverse this process for installation.
Step VII: Quality Control
At any point that the Calibration is in error you may revert back to the old calibration by
pressing Ctrl+E.
1. To insure proper programming and installation of EPROM and Calibration
Constants, the gauge should be verified on the ValiDator using the ValiDator
Evaluation Form. Once the new constants are entered, place the gauge on
the ValiDator and make sure the density readings obtained with the gauge
are within the required ranges provided on the laminated ValiDator sheets.
2. An additional method to check the calibration before requesting the EPROM
or entering constants is to use the Calculate Density feature to calculate
densities using the new calibration.
