Calibration

ADAM 4000 Series User’s Manual

Analog i nput/output m odules are calibrate d whe n you receive them .

However, cal ibration is so metimes requ ired. No screwdriver is

necessary because calib ration is don e in so ftware. Calib ration

parameters are stored in the ADAM module’s onboard EEPROM.

The ADAM modules com e with u tility soft ware that supports the

calibration of anal og i nput and a nalog out put. Aside f rom t he

calibration that is carried out through software, the modules incorporate

automatic Zero Calibration and automatic Span Calib ration at boot-up

or reset.

8.1 Analog Input Module Calibration

Models: ADAM-4011, 4011D, 4012, 4016, 4017, 4017+, 4018, 4018+,

4018M, 4019+

1. Set modules as initial mode before applying

power t o t he m odule

and let it warm up for about 30 minutes

2. Assure t hat t he m odule i s co rrectly i nstalled an d i s p roperly

configured for th e inp ut range th at you wan t to calibrate. You can

do t his b y u sing th e ADAM u tility so ftware. (Please refer t o

Appendix D, Utility Software.)

3. Use a p recise voltage s ource t o cal ibrate t he m odule t hrough + IN

and -IN terminals for ADAM-4011, 4011D and 4012. However, for

ADAM-4016, the calibrating voltage should be applied to terminals

Vin+ and Vin- (or Iin+ and Iin-). At last, Vin0+ and Vin0- are used

for calibration in ADAM-4017, 4017+, 4018, 4018+, 4018M, 4019

and 4019+ models.
