  • Page 15: Operation Features

    Normal Display Operation The IPM25 has a full 7 digit display, which can be scaled using the calibration menu to suit the application it is to be used in. The display can display the instantaneous, peak or trough values. It is also possible to hold the display value (this only operates when not in peak or trough mode).
  • Page 16: Hold Button

    PEAK Button When pressed this button puts the IPM25 into peak mode. This will display the highest display reading and hold it on the display until it is reset or a higher value is reached. To reset the peak display, press the peak and trough buttons simultaneously.

    The benefit is that the battery life, based on a 350Ω sensor bridge being connected, increases from 45 hours to 450 hours. It is also important to remember that when the IPM25 is re-calibrated with a sensor, the power save facility will be automatically turned off. The power save facility will therefore need to be re-activated after calibration has been completed.

    If however, a higher sensitivity sensor is used with the IPM25, it will be necessary to gain access to the internal PCB (you must turn the IPM25 off) to move link LK1 to JP1 (see picture below) to allow the IPM25 to accept sensitivities of up to 50mV/V.

    TEDS peripheral has been made. When there is a loss of connection these LEDs flash. When changing a sensor the IPM25 should be power cycled as this is when the TEDS data is read. Calibration Procedures are not available when TEDS is enabled.
  • Page 20 When the value has been set press You should now see displayed. This means the calibration was successful, press to the IPM25 to normal donE operation mode, with the new calibration data stored. If you see FaiLEd, then you will need to repeat the calibration, checking that you have completed the procedure in the correct order, and that the sensor is connected correctly.

    1. Ensure that the factory settings for gain and offset are set to 1 and 0, respectively. See millivolt per volt calibration section to do this. 2. Begin by connecting up the model IPM25 and a high precision Multimeter to the calibration source set at 2.5mV/V with a 350Ω load.
