Calibration (Calib)
The Utilities - Calib menu offers access to calibration routines and correction values for the purpose of
servicing.
Menu selection: Utilities - Calib
Fig. 4-31 Utilities - Calib menu (preset setting)
Seven internal calibration routines are run on the main board. The evaluated calibration values are
stored on the module and if secured by Lock Level must be measured only when the unit is put into
operation for the first time or circuit components are to be repaired.
To enable the calibrations, switch off Lock Level 1 in the Utilities-Protect menu (see section "Passwords
for Accessing Protected Functions (Protect)” and enter password 123456.
If calibrations are to be performed, the unit is to be warmed up to its normal operating
temperature. If a cold unit is calibrated when putting the unit into operation, the calibration has
to be repeated with the unit at operating temperature.
Calibrations should be performed in the order indicated in Table 4-1. This is done automatically by the
All function in the Calibrate menu.
