PRESYS Instruments TA-25N / TA-35N / TA-50N compensation is done internally; In Manual you must provide the value of the temperature of the cold junction to the calibrator. The option SWITCH has two ways to be used. For the option MANUAL, the input works as a continuity measurement between RTD2 and RTD4 terminals.
PRESYS Instruments TA-25N / TA-35N / TA-50N 2.1.3 - Special Function SCALE: For the current input, it is possible to use the scale function: Fig. 15 - Option for mA Input: SCALE It establishes a linear relationship between the mA input signal and what is shown at the display, according to the graphic below: Fig.
PRESYS Instruments TA-25N / TA-35N / TA-50N Fig. 17 - Scale Function Configuration Note: To enable the Scale Function, turn the function ON. To disable, turn the function OFF. 2.1.4 - Saving Current Configuration (Memory Manager) The TA Series calibrators admit several special functions that may become of frequent use.
PRESYS Instruments TA-25N / TA-35N / TA-50N ® 2.2 - Hart Configuration The TA Series Calibrators can be used to read and set parameters of devices that ® ® have HART Communication Protocol. HART Protocol allows digital communication between master (in this case, the TA Calibrator) and the slave (field instrument) superimposed on the 4-20 mA analog signal.
PRESYS Instruments TA-25N / TA-35N / TA-50N Fig. 19 - Transmitter Powered by an External Power Supply ® mA INPUT + HART (Internal Resistor Enabled) 2.2.2 - Starting Communication ® ® After defining HART connection type, inform the ADDRESS of the HART device and press the CONNECT button.
PRESYS Instruments TA-25N / TA-35N / TA-50N ® Fig. 20 - Adjusting the measuring range of the HART transmitter ® 2.2.4 - Adjusting the Measurement Range of a HART Transmitter with Reference Another way to adjust the range of the transmitter is generating the minimum and maximum values of the desired range in the transmitter input and adjusting these values as minimum and maximum (set by reference).
PRESYS Instruments TA-25N / TA-35N / TA-50N upper range value wait the stabilization and press button. Transmitter will generate 20 mA for this value. Another way to do this adjust is entering in the HART option through the MAIN MENU, set the connection type, address and then press CONNECT.
PRESYS Instruments TA-25N / TA-35N / TA-50N ® Fig. 23 - Checking / Adjusting the mA HART Transmitter Output 2.3 - Automatic Tasks In TA Calibrators, automatic calibration tasks can be created and performed. This option can be used to generate calibration work orders for sensors, transmitters and indicators.

4 - Recommendations as regards Accuracy of Measurements PRESYS Temperature Advanced Calibrators are instruments of high accuracy level, requiring the observation of all the procedures described in this section, in order to achieve the necessary conditions to get the accuracy levels during the calibrations.
PRESYS Instruments TA-25N / TA-35N / TA-50N Select ADJUST/CAL option from the SETTINGS > SYSTEM menu. You should then enter the password 9875 to access the calibration menu. The password functions as a protection to calibration ranges. After the password is entered, the menu displays the options GENERAL, INPUTS and PROBE.
PRESYS Instruments TA-25N / TA-35N / TA-50N 5.2 - Probe Calibration To readjust the internal Probe it is necessary to compare the value indicated by the calibrator (Probe) and the temperature value from a standard probe placed in the dry block insert.
Replace the fuse once. If a second fuse blows again, it is because the fault is not that simple. In this case, contact the Presys technical support. In case of malfunction of mA input, the input fuse (250 V/32 mA) can be exchanged.
The dry block calibrators accessories include a plastic container with tiny steel balls. This item is an exclusive accessory of PRESYS dry block calibrators, which also provide a cup-like insert that is an insert drilled with the maximum allowed diameter (3/4”), proper for being filled with the tiny balls.
