Initiate Cal And Initiate Verify; Auto Calibrate/Auto Verify - Ametek Thermox WDG Insitu User Manual

Initiate Cal and Initiate Verify

Perform an automatic, remote, or manual calibration or verification. These
menu options function almost identically. See the introduction to this
chapter for more information on the difference between a calibration and
a verification.
Automatic calibrations and verifications can also be set to run at prede-
termined frequencies using the cycle times defined in the Set Cal Timers/
Set Auto Timers menu option. Once you set these cycle times, it won't be
necessary to select the Initiate Cal or Initiate Verify menu options for an
automatic calibration.
The Auto Calibrate/Auto Verify and Remote Calibrate/Remote Verify se-
lections are only available if you have installed an Auto Calibrate Card in
your Series 2000 control unit and have a Remote Calibration Unit (RCU).
If the Series 2000 control unit detects that these options are not installed,
it will automatically prompt you with a manual calibration or verification
operation when you select either the Initiate Cal or Initiate Verify menu
options.
This chapter section is divided into discussions on automatic, remote, and
manual calibrations or verifications.

Auto Calibrate/Auto Verify

Before you can start an auto calibration or verification:
1.
2.
3.
You can start the auto calibrate cycle as follows:
1. Depending on whether you want to perform a calibration or verifica-
tion, select either the Initiate Cal or Initiate Verify option from the
Calibrate key menu.
Enter the calibration gas values to match the span and zero calibration
gas cylinders you will use to calibrate or verify your system.
Define how long you want each calibration gas to flow through the sen-
sor before switching the gases. Remember that with an auto calibration
or verification, the RCU automatically switches the span and zero cali-
bration gases based on the calibration gas duration times you specify.
Be sure to allow enough time for the gases to stabilize when you define
these times. You may want to use the "Inject Cal Gases" option from
the Calibrate menu to determine how long it takes for gases from the
remote calibration unit (RCU) to reach the sensor and stabilize and then
use these times.
Define a time period for the system to recover from reading calibration
gas values to reading process gases.
