Introduction
The instrument calibration is based on a series of steps. Each step performs the calibration of a particular input or
output. It must be done only when strictly necessary and using reference instruments with a high accuracy. Then the
instrument must remain switched on at current environmental conditions for at least one hour.
Calibration Procedure
Starting from operation mode, press and hold both the “
↵
“(enter) and “
“(menu access) keys. “C.PaS” will
appear. Enter the Configuration Password (default: 33).
NOTE: See the X5 Controller product manual section “4.6 PARAMETERIZATION - ACCESS MENU - PASSWORD
- CALIBRATION” for more details on the Configuration Password.
“C.tc” (T/C calibration) will appear on the lower display while a value will appear on the upper display.
Generate a signal using the below table; use copper wire to source the signal. Press the “
∨
“ or “
∧
“ keys to
adjust the value to be as close to zero as possible: 0 ±2.
