4.2 Calibration Methods

The KD-2306 has three possible calibration methods. The current output can only be calibrated for 4
to 20 mA, so there is no possible bipolar calibration.

Full Scale:

(Voltage Out) Output from 0 VDC to some maximum value.

(Current Out) Output from 4 mA to 20 mA


Bipolar:

Negative output for first half of range; positive output for second half.

High Accuracy Band: Increased linearity by using only part of the full-scale Measuring range

(Voltage or Current).


Depending on the application, select one of three procedures outlined above to calibrate a system.
Before calibration, we recommend that you become familiar with the following information to ensure
that you have made the necessary considerations regarding your particular application.

With a thorough knowledge of calibration variables and accurate application of the calibration
procedures described in the following pages, you can achieve optimum results. Deviations or
shortcuts can result in operator-induced errors and may complicate rather than solve measurement
problems.
