Two oint Digital Calibration Mode This mode enables the meter to be calibrated by applying a zero or low input signal, entering the desired reading for that signal, then applying a high input signal, and then entering the desired reading for that signal. The meter then automatically calculates and programs in the requisite scale factor, within the following parameters.. ositive and negative signals may be applied, but the difference between the low and the high signal inputs must be at least counts or Err will be indicated.. ositive and Negative values for the desired reading can be entered, but the scale factor created can not exceed the Digital Display Span capability of the meter which is, counts between 999 to 9999.. The internal Signal Span is limited to V DC between V DC to + V DC. Any outputs from an Input Signal Conditioning module that exceed these limits will cause the meter to indicate overrange regardless of the Digital Display Span scaled. Note: Many input signal conditioners have provisions for analog calibration and scaling. If the meter is digitally set to read zero with a zero input (shorted input), and to read with a. V input, any pre-calibrated analog signal conditioner, with an output that does not exceed V to + V, will read correctly without any further calibration when it is inserted in the meter.

Digital Span Selection For Bargraph Display The bargraph can be set to display full scale (- bars) any portion of the digital reading from a minimum of counts to a maximum of, counts. This provides higher resolution bargraph indication for those applications where the normal operating input signal range is less than the desired full scale display range of the digital display. For Example: If the full scale range of the meter has been set from -999 to 9999 (-, counts), but the normal operating range of the input signal is between & 6. The bargraph high parameter [bhi] can be set to 6 and the bargraph low parameter [blo] can be set to. This means that although the meter could digitally display a signal from -999 to 9999 (-, counts), the bargraph display only begins to function at a reading of, and reaches full scale indication at a reading of 6. Although the digital display will continue reading up to 9999 before indicating overrange, the bargraph display will indicate its overrange by flashing for readings above 6.

When the bar reaches a selected color change point, the entire bar will change to the color designated for that zone. This eliminates any ambiguity as to the signal status, especially just after transitioning to a new zone. First (Step Q) is to select the color to be displayed, when the bar is below*, whichever set point is set to the lowest position. Second (Steps R, S, T, and U) is to select the color to be displayed when the bar is above each specific set point, regardless of the order or position to which the set points are set. However, if two or more setpoints with differently specified colors are positioned at the same set point value, the color specified for the set point with the highest identifying number will be displayed.

OFF ON V EXC ON OFF V DC Output Header On some modules this header enables a V DC 5mA (max) Excitation/Auxiliary output to be connected to in. INUT RANGE Header Custom V V V Range values are marked on the CB. Typically two to four positions are provided, which are selected with either a single or multiple jumper clip. When provided, a custom range position is only functional when the option has been factory installed. SAN otentiometer (ot) To the Left Rear ZERO Turn Clockwise to Increase Reading ZERO otentiometer (ot) If provided, the ZERO pot is always to the left of the SAN pot (as viewed from the rear of the meter). Typically it enables the input signal to be offset ±5% of full scale (- to + counts). To the Right Rear SAN Turn Clockwise to Increase Reading If provided, the 5 turn SAN pot is always on the right side (as viewed from the rear of the meter). Typical adjustment is % of the input signal range. Counts + + Counts 5 Turn otentiometer < Increase Span Decrease > 5 5 < Increase Span Decrease > SAN ADJUST Header This unique five-position header expands the adjustment range of the SAN pot into five equal % steps, across % of the input Signal Span. Any input Signal Span can then be precisely scaled down to provide any required Digital Display span from 999 counts to (one count). + Offset + ZERO OFFSET RANGE Header When provided, this three position header increases the ZERO pot s capability to offset the input signal, to ±5% of the digital display span. For example a Negative offset enables a to 5V input to display to full scale.

Input Module Calibration rocedures In addition to the analog calibration capabilities that enable many modules to be interchanged between different meters without loss of accuracy the Leopard Family of meters have enhanced Digital Calibration functions. Basic standard range calibration of direct reading modules that utilize either Auto Zero or a ZERO pot, an INUT RANGE Header and or a SAN pot. If the module has an INUT RANGE Header, reposition the jumper clip to select the desired input signal range.. Apply a zero input or short the input pins. The display will auto zero, or if the module has a ZERO pot, it should be adjusted until the display reads zero. Apply a known input signal that is at least % of the full scale input range and adjust the SAN pot until the display reads the exact input value. For negative inputs, Leopard Family Meters will display negative overrange at 5% of full scale range. Decimal oints. The selection or positioning of decimal points has no effect on the calibration of the modules Wide range scaling, in engineering units not requiring offsets, with modules that utilize auto-zero or a ZERO pot, a SAN RANGE Header and or a SAN ADJUST Header. Texmate s unique SAN ADJUST and SAN RANGE Headers provide the circuit equivalent of an ultra-precision one megohm 75 or 5 turn potentiometer that can infinitely scale down any Input Signal SAN to provide any full scale Digital Display Span from 999 (counts) to (one count). If the module has an INUT RANGE Header, and the required full scale Digital Display Span (counts) is to be larger than the directly measured value of the input Signal Span, then the next lower range on the INUT RANGE Header should be selected. The resulting over range Signal Span is then scaled down, by selecting the position of the SAN RANGE Header and or the SAN ADJUST Header, which will reduce the input Signal Span to a percentage, that the required Digital Display Span can be reached by calibration with the SAN pot. Example A: to V to read to 8 gallons. Signal Span = V, Digital Display Span = 8 counts Select the V INUT RANGE Header position. This will provide a digital display of 8 counts with an input of only.8 V which is (.8 )=8% of the examples V Signal Span. To scale down the Signal Span to 8% select the % Signal Span position on the SAN ADJUST Header (position ) or if the module has a SAN RANGE Header, select (LO Range) and % Signal Span position on the SAN ADJUST Header (position ). Apply a zero input or short the input pins. The display will auto zero, or if the module has a ZERO pot, it should be adjusted until the display reads zero. Apply V and adjust the SAN pot until the display reads 8. Large offset scaling and calibration of process signal inputs with modules that utilize ZERO ADJUST Headers and or ZERO OFFSET RANGE Headers. Texmate s unique ZERO OFFSET RANGE Header enables the use of a simple two step scaling and calibration procedure for those process signals that require large offsets. This eliminates the back and forth interaction, between zero and span settings, that is often required to calibrate less finely engineered products. The first step is to set the ZERO OFFSET RANGE Header to the center position (No Offset) and scale down the Input Signal Span to a percentage that will enable calibration with the SAN pot to reach the required Digital Display Span. The second step is to set the ZERO ADJUST and or ZERO OFFSET RANGE Header to provide a positive or negative offset of sufficient counts that calibration with the ZERO pot will offset the Digital Display Span to produce the required digital reading. Example B: to 5 V to read to 5 C. Signal Span = V, Digital Display Span = 6 counts If the module has an INUT RANGE Header the V position should be selected. This will provide a digital display of 6 counts for an input of.6 V which is (.6 ) = % of the examples V signal span. To scale down the Signal Span to % select the % Signal Span position on the SAN ADJUST Header (position ). If the module is a rocess Input -5 V DC type, select the (Hi Range) position on the SAN RANGE Header and the % Signal Span position on the SAN ADJUST Header (position 5, max increase). This will provide a digital display of 6 counts for an input of V which is % of the examples V Signal Span. Set the ZERO OFFSET RANGE Header to the center position (no offset). Apply V and adjust the SAN pot until the display reads. A V input would then read 6 counts. Set the ZERO OFFSET RANGE Header to the negative offset position. If the module has a ZERO ADJUST Header select the position that will provide a negative offset of 5 counts. Apply V and adjust the ZERO pot until the display reads. Apply 5 V and check that the display reads 5. Example C: to ma to read. to +.% Signal Span = 6 ma, Digital Display Span = counts. The full scale Signal Span of the rocess Input - ma modules is to ma for a full scale Digital Display Span of to counts. This will provide a digital display of counts with an input of only ma which is ( 6)=6.5% of the examples 6 ma signal span. To scale down the Signal Span to 6.5% select the (Hi Range) osition on the Span Range Header and the 7% Signal Span position on the SAN ADJUST Header (position ). Set the ZERO OFFSET RANGE Header to the center position (no offset). Apply ma and adjust the SAN pot until the display reads 5. A 6 ma input would then read counts. Set the ZERO OFFSET RANGE Header to the positive offset position. If the module has a ZERO ADJUST Header select the position that will provide a negative offset of 5 counts. Apply ma and adjust the ZERO pot until the display reads. Apply ma and check that the display reads. Apr--9 FL-BD DS (FL7) Texmate, Inc. Tel. (76) 598-9899 www.texmate.com age 7
