Follow these easy steps: 1. As an example, on the Ezeio Controller Input 2, the analogue input is set to 0~10v dc. Apply an accurate 10v signal to this input and on the Ezeio ‘Status Page’, note the ‘Raw’ reading on channel 2.

6. If you require good accuracy at a particular point of the span, then calibrate at that point instead of the full span point. 7. Apply this procedure (as applicable) to all other analogue inputs on the Ezeio Controller inputs to achieve accurate calibration.

More than one A16 can be added to an Ezeio controller. b. The Ezeio Controller will accept up to 40 inputs per Ezeio controller, after which, add another Ezeio. c. The A16 is available with 3 options for the number of analogue inputs: 8 inputs, 16 inputs.

The quickest way to do that is to simply go to each input, change of the inputs to another input (under “Input Location” on the Ezeio ), - Click on ‘Save Changes’ - change back and save again. This will refresh the setting, and it will poll the correct A16 station.
