CALIBRATION
When re-calibration is required (generally every two years), this procedure
should be performed by qualified technicians using appropriate equipment.
Equipment source accuracy of 0.01% or better is required.
The procedure consists of: applying accurate voltage signals, applying
precision mA current and measuring accurate mA currents, among others.
Allow a 30 minute warm-up period before starting this procedure.
This procedure may be aborted by disconnecting power to the controller
before exiting the configuration mode. The existing calibration settings
remain in affect.

Pause
The controller imposes a 5 sec. delay (Keep
the 10.000 V signal applied). The unit
automatically advances to StPA.
Current Calibration
Connect a precision current source with an accuracy of 0.01% to terminals
(+) #9 and (-) #10 for current calibration when step A appears.
