difficulty in varying the measured parameter and the confusing interaction that
occurs between span and offset adjustments. However, the PAXLCL can be
quickly and easily bench calibrated using a commercially available current
calibrator or the calibration set-up shown below.
CALIBRATION PROCEDURE
simplifies calibration. In Steps 1 to 4 the unit is “nulled” to zero readout with
zero input signal current. In Steps 5 and 6, the span adjustments are made to
establish the required slope of the transfer curve. Then in Step 7, the transfer
curve is shifted up or down as required by setting the offset adjustments. In Step
8, the final “tweaking” adjustments are made at minimum and maximum signal
current. Setting the decimal points in Step 9 completes the calibration.

Before calibrating, the READOUT SPAN (Rs) and SWING CURRENT (Is)
Rs = (Max. Numerical Display) - (Min. Numerical Display)
Is = (Current @ Max. Display) - (Current @ Min. Display)
Readout is to be 0.00 @ 4 mA and 10.00 @ 20 mA.
READOUT SPAN (Rs) = 1000 - 0 = 1000
SWING CURRENT (Is) = 20 mA - 4 mA = 16
