7.1.3 Analog input calibration (current mode)
This procedure describes the calibration procedure for a 3-point calibration.
Available target values for this option display in the calibration window and become active in
calibration order: Low Cal Point, 100% Cal Point, and 50% Cal Point
. Adapt these instructions for a
five (5) point calibration. With a 5
-point calibration, five pressure points display in order: Low Cal
Point, 100% Cal Point, 75% Cal Point, 50% Cal Point, and 25% Cal Point.
As an example, the AI 2 is calibrated for an external device with a measurement range of 0 to 1500
PSI and an output signal range of 4 to 20 mA. Set the calibrator at current values within this signal
range to simulate the external device. Use voltage values of 4 mA, 12 mA, and 20 mA for the 3
-
ibration as shown in Table 7-2.
To calibrate the analog input with 3 points:
1. Connect the calibrator to the AI, per section 7.1.1
, Connect calibration equipment.
2. Connect the PC or laptop running PCCU32 to the controller.
3. Launch PCCU32 and click the Entry icon on the toolbar.
4. Change the signal type for the analog input:
a. Click I/O System on the navigation tree. The Analog Inputs tab displays (Figure 7-17
).
b. Click the Signal field for the AI that is calibrating and select 4-20mA from the drop-down
list (see AI 2 in Figure 7-17
). The default signal value for all AIs is 0-30Volt, which is voltage
mode.

5. Click Send. AI 2 Signal updates to 4-20mA (Figure 7-18
).
