ranges.
3. [Oponal] If MCAST is altered, a SAVE<ENTER>
and power cycle if required. Issue the SAVE<ENTER>
command and wait for the save to complete. Once the
prompt (>) is returned, issue the command:
REBOOT<ENTER>
Disconnect and close all instances of ScanTel that are
open and allow me for the modules to reboot.
4. Make all necessary pneumac connecons to the
MPS, including:
• Calibrator posive output to the CAL port.
• Calibrator negave output to the REF port.
Note: this requires a manifolded connecon to all 32
inputs, or the calibraon input header (PN 20080)
Leak checks, or trap and decay tests, and pressure
response should be performed on both the CAL and
REF port to ensure correct plumbing, and that there
are no leaks present.
4. Connect to a single MPS4200 using ScanTel (or similar
program).
5. [Oponal] For mulple module calibraon/valida-
ons, issue the command:
MFIND<ENTER>
Ensure that all expected modules respond.
If they do not, please check that all module’s MCAST
variables match before connuing.

A Field Calibraon (single or mul-unit) will apply dened
pressures from the calibrator in equal steps, at the current
temperature of the module(s). This calibraon create
correcon terms that are used across the full compensated
range (0°-70°C). A validaon is typically required aer a
calibraon. The eld calibraon coecients can be enabled
or disabled at any me using the FCENABLE variable.
1. Follow the steps under Setup and Conguraon.
2. [Oponal] If a calibraon log is required (for trouble-
shoong or requested by Scanivalve), start an ASCII
capture le using ScanTel:
File > Start ASCII Capture
Name the le and save in a directory.
3. To start an automated single unit eld calibraon,
issue the command:
CAL F<ENTER>
To start an automated mul-unit eld calibraon, issue
the command:
MCAL F<ENTER>
The Field Calibraon (single or mul) will begin. The
process will stream informaon to the screen. When
completed, the MPS will return a completed message,
followed by a Prompt (>). If there is an issue, check the log
to nd the error and correct any noted errors.
4. Once a Field Calibraon is complete, the eld coef-
cients are stored in LIST FC. The eld calibraon
process will automacally enable the eld coecients
in all modules (SET FCENABLE 1). To save these coef-
cients, the issue the command:
SAVE FC<ENTER>
Saving the FC terms must be repeated for every module
that was calibrated (connect using ScanTel and issue
the command).

A Field Validaon (single or mul-unit) will apply pres-
sures from the calibrator at the current temperature of
the modules, compare the EU readings to the calibrator
readings, and nd the percent error of full scale. This will
validate the current coecient table in the MPS module.
This can be performed with or without eld calibraon
coecients (FCENABLE).
1. Follow the steps under Setup and Conguraon.
2. [Oponal] If a validaon log is required (for trouble-
shoong or requested by Scanivalve), start an ASCII
capture le using ScanTel:
File > Start ASCII Capture
Name the le and save in a directory.
3. To start an automated single unit eld validaon,
issue the command:
VAL F<ENTER>
To start an automated mul-unit eld validaon, issue
the command:
MVAL F<ENTER>
The Field Validaon (single or mul) will begin. The process
will stream informaon to the screen. When completed,
the MPS will return a completed message, followed by a
Prompt (>). If there is an issue, check the log to nd the
error and correct any noted errors. If there is an issue,
check the log to nd the error and correct any noted errors.
4. Once the validaon is completed, the report can be
found on the MPS’s system memory. Open “Windows
Explorer” and in the address bar, type:
