Calibrating the SM70X Controller (4-20 mADC Input)
- If required, press the BACK push-button (upper left corner of the display) and return the to HOME screen.
- When at the HOME Screen, press the MENU push-button and move the “Main Menu”
- From the Main Menu”, press ( 3 ) Tech Assist
- From the Tech Assist display press ( Configure ) the Controller’s Setup
- From the Initial Setup display, press ( 1 0) Configure Analog Inputs and Outputs
- From the Setup Analog Ins and Outs display press ( 1 ) Configure the Displayed Scale
- When at the Process Input Setup display
- Confirm that the “Sensor’s Range” is correct. The Sensors Range is stated in feet. when using a pressure/submersible sensor the range may be calculated as Range = 2.31 * PSI (e.g. the range of a 5 PSI sensor is 2.31 * 5 = 11.55 feet.. In this case, one would typically enter 11.6 as the Max Range
- Confirm that the Displayed Scale” is correct. The displayed scale must be less than or equal to the “Sensor’s Range”. (The controller does not permit a value to be greater than the “Sensor’s Range”.)
- Confirm that the “Analog Input Type” is set to mADC
- Confirm that “Signal Averaging/Damping” is set to a reasonable number. Large numbers make the process input appear to be sluggish.
- From the “Process Input Setup” display press (View ) 1a – the Primary Sensor’s attributes
- If using a submersible level transducer, remove the transducer from the tank. The transducer produces its minimum output (i.e. 4 mADC) when removed from the liquid. If using any other level sensing transducer, move the transducer or reduce the pressure so that the transducer produces its minimum output (i.e. 4 MADC).
- From the “Primary Sensor (AIn0) display read the Present Value. When a 4mADSC input is applied, the “present Value” should be 400 counts (nominally).
- The fastest way to calibrate the controller’s input is to press and hold the Quick Set button for three seconds. The controller asks for a password. After the password is entered the controller automatically places the “”Present Value” in the variable entitled MinAIn0 and places the calculated maximum value in the variable entitles MaxAIn0.
- Calibration is complete. Press the BACK push-button and return to the HOME screen.
- Confirm the controller’s proper operation.
- Password access automatically cancels after a period of keypad inactivity.
- The back-light is disabled by pressing MENU and then pressing ( Back-light ) Turn off the backlight.
- Touching the screen wakes-up the display. Upon waking-up the HOME screen appears on the display.
