Ma Calibration; 7�4 Test Menu - Honeywell Midas User Manual

7.3.4 mA Calibration 'mA 4-20'
This function permits the calibration of the 4-20 mA
output using an external source such as an ammeter.
The purpose of this calibration is to assure the
proper output voltage to activate external alarms/
relays.
If the Midas chassis becomes disassociated from its
original mounting bracket, this calibration procedure
must be followed to assure proper output voltages
as the factory calibration is invalidated.
1. Use the 's' up or 't' down buttons to select the
mA calibration 'mA 4-20' submenu and press
'3' to accept.
2. The display shows 4.00 mA indicating that the
analog output should be reading 4 mA
3. The inhibit ' ' icon is also displayed indicating
that no alarm outputs will be generated during
this process.
4. Use the 's' up or 't' down buttons to adjust the
analog output to read 4.00 mA.
5. Press '3' to accept.
6. The display will show 20.00 indicating that the
analog output should be outputting 20 mA.
7. Press 's' up or 't' down to select another
submenu.
8. Press 'X' to return to set-up, calibration and test
menu selection.
9. Press 'X' again to return to normal operation.

7.4 Test Menu '
The test menu is used to test the detector gas
reading using bump test gas, and for simulation of
alarm and fault display and output operation (relay,
analog and digital). The test submenu also includes
the detector inhibit facility. The test menu comprises
of 3 submenus as shown in the table below.
Caution
When using the Test Mode with the
Midas®, be aware that simulations for
alarm and fault will trigger any connected
devices from the relay, mA, and/or digital
outputs (Modbus /TCP, LonWorks®) as if
a real alarm or fault is present. If you wish
to avoid activating any connected alarms or
devices use the Inhibit mode to prevent an
unwanted alarm.
