Programming the Meter (prog)
It is very important to read the following information, before proceeding
to program the meter:
• There is no need to recalibrate the meter when first received from
the factory.
• The meter is factory calibrated prior to shipment, for all input
types, in milliamps, volts, and degrees respectively. The calibration
equipment is certified to NIST standards.
• Use the Scale menu to scale process inputs (e.g. 4-20 mA). A cali-
brated signal source is not needed to scale the meter.
• For thermocouple and RTDs, just connect the sensor to the proper
terminals and turn the power on. No calibration needed! (when
the meter is first received from the factory).
The Program menu contains the Calibrate and the Scale menus.
Process inputs may be calibrated or scaled to any display within the
range of the meter.
