  • Page 35: Calibration Of Instrumentation

    How to Perform a Calibration All instrumentation included with this unit has been calibrated and assigned to specific channels for use. Humboldt recommends (and standard lab practice dictates) that your HM-5470 should be calibrat- ed periodically. For most, recalibration is conducted annually, though other rules may apply to the frequency of calibration.
  • Page 36 Once your calibrations have been saved, click on the trash can icon (5) to begin to erase both (2) Input calibrations. When you press the trash can icon, this screen will appear. On this screen select an Input calibration to delete, one at a time, and then press the Select button.
  • Page 37 Calibrating your instrumentation to the appropriate Input requires a separate device, which can provide precise and specific loads or dis- placement, and, which has been certified to be accurate. The calibra- tion process involves plugging the instrumentation into the HM-5470 while placing the instrumentation into the certified calibration device, which provides a specific set load or displacement.
  • Page 38 Upon filling in the password, you will see this screen, Tab 1 Sensor Details of the Calibration settings. On Tab 1, the Sensor Type (1) will default to Displacement Load. For Capacity (2), fill in the maximum capacity of the sensor and choose either lbf or kN.
  • Page 39 Once this is complete, click on the Right Arrow in the bottom right- hand corner of the screen to save these settings. You will be taken to Tab 2, Limits. On Tab 2, in the Calibration Limit field (1), enter the maximum cal- ibrated limit of the sensor.
  • Page 40 If you choose Multi-Point (Recommended calibration method) Curve and click on the Right Arrow in the bottom right-hand corner of the screen, you will be taken to Tab 3. On Tab 3 you will be able to set the number of points you want to use for your calibration.
  • Page 41 Each point would be chosen by clicking on the corresponding point row above. The load would be applied to the sensor and an A/D Counts reading would appear. To set the point, click on the Set Point button (1). This would be repeated until all points have been set. In the example above, Point 3 is being calibrated and is ready to have the Set Point button (1) clicked.

For information on operating your machine with Humboldt’s NEXT Software and Consolidation Module, on a computer, please refer to the Humboldt NEXT software manual.
  • Page 53 The system automatically moves through the different test parameters specified by the user with incremental consolidation tests typically being completed in 24 to 48 hours. The Humboldt NEXT software uses sample deformation readings taken from the displacement transducer and load readings from the load cell to maintain a constant applied stress or strain to the sample through the use of an accurate stepper motor.
