1. Ensure the main unit is powered "OFF," and has no power sources connected to it.
2. If a signal conditioning card is in slot #1 of the chassis, remove the card.
3. Install Calibration Card into Slot #1 (bottom slot) of the main unit.
4. With all covers in place, allow the main unit and calibration equipment to warm up (powered on) for at
least 1 hour.
5. Place the Calibration Enable/Disable Pushbutton (on main unit rear-panel) in the "enable" (indent)
position to enable writing to RAM.
Note to
For these units the calibration mode is enabled by positioning the DIP switch right-most micro-switch (#9) to the "1"
(up) position. Note that ChartScan units with the pushbutton have it located on the rear panel, as indicated in the
NetScan figure (page 6-2).
6. If the calibration password has not been changed, enter
enter the K command and new password. This enables the calibration mode.

8. Insert banana plugs of shorting option (shorting bar or 3 linked plugs) into -V, +V, and GND binding
posts of calibration card. This short circuits the analog backplane HI and LO voltage inputs and GND
(see previous figure, Calibration Card and Two Shorting Options).
