Output Calibration

 

 

The Output Calibration screen allows the user to perform a zero/span calibration.  The SGA is equipped with two analog outputs. These outputs require calibration to ensure that the mA signal corresponds to a given output value (zero value for the lowest value and span value for the highest value). SSi suggests that this device should be calibrated on a routine basis, such as once a year or as prescribed by the user’s quality system requirements.

 

To calibrate each output, first make sure that you have a multimeter (or other appropriate testing instrument) available. SSi recommends that each time an output is calibrated that a zero calibration is performed first and the span calibration is performed second.  SSi also recommends that both a zero and span always be performed together.  Calibrations steps are provided below. 

 

1. Select the output value that you wish to calibrate (Zero Output 1 or Zero Output 2).

2. Press “Prep for Cal” to enter calibration mode.

3. Ensure that the output signal is being sent for the span or zero value (for whichever you are calibrating).

4. With a multimeter, measure the mA value at the output. Enter that value in the “Entered Measured value” field and press “Calibrate”.

5. Repeat the process above for the appropriate Span Output.
