Sensor specification
To correct measuring error of each analog input (pressure, temperature, level) calibrating constants
within 10 % of measure range should be set. Three calibrating constants are set in physical units - bar,
o
C, % . From these constants are counted equivalent calibrating resistance which are internally (in
software) add to sensor resistance.
At the moment of calibration (ENTER pressing) is calculated (and in memory saved) calibrating
resistance (in Ω). This value is added to measured sensor resistance before calculation of the AI1
(AI2) value.
Example: iL-CU display Temperature 70 °C and real value is 73 °C.
After setting Calibr AI1 to +3 °C (and pressing ENTER) InteliLite calculates corresponding resistance
(e.g.5Ω) and saves this value into the memory. The resistance is then added to all calculations (e.g.
instead of 70°C -> 73°C, or e.g. instead of 5°C -> 6°C).
Note:
The calibration must be done at the operational point of the analog input (e.g. 80°C, 4.0Bar etc..)
Default sensor settings
Analog input 1: 6 points VDO characteristic, pressure measuring in bar
Analog input 2: 10 points VDO characteristic, temperature measuring in °C
Analog input 3: 2 points VDO fuel level sensor, 0% = 10Ω, 100% = 180Ω
For VDO sensor characteristic see chapter Value and set points codes.
