Instruction

8. Basic Operation

The basic mode is the split screen that shows MEASURE and SOURCE areas

on the display(see figure 8.1). When returning from higher level operations (e.g.
Setup,Task, measuring options, sourcing options, etc), the calibrator will lso

eturn o he asic ode ith ast onfigured easurement nd ource.

In Basic ode, ou an ress he avigation eys o elect etween

he EASURE r OURCE reas. ou ill ee ither EASURE or SOURCE
highlighted, which means this display area is active. Function toggled keys( ,
, , , ) are used to select the MEASURE or SOURCE function.

In the Basic Mode you can perform the following:

Measure signals and zero the measured value.

Note: The calibration data(refer to section 9.6 system calibration)will be
changed once zero trim is performed, and can be restored manually.
Source/Simulate signals. Stepping, ramping(if allowed), set, and reset
source value.

In the Basic Mode (as Figure8.1), if the measurement area is active, you can press the function keys ( , , , ,

and Standard PRTs (standard platinum resistance thermometers).
The calibrator allows you to input the customized values, so you can measure temperature using every kind of RTDs and
Standard PRTs.
How to create a custom industry RTD?
To achieve higher precision with an RTD, IEC and ASTM standards specify a more complex polynomial curve fit that fine­ tunes the resistance-temperature relationship. One form of that equation is given here as below. The industry RTDs also

specify values for the constants R0, A, B, C (The C constant is only used for temperature less than 0°C).

How to create a standard PRT?

The Standard Platinum Resistance Thermometer (SPRT) Calibration Laboratory of the NIST Thermometry Group can

distinguish among the ITS-90 from the argon triple point (Ar TP, -189.3442°C) to the silver freezing point (Ag FP,

961.78°C) for the calibration of SPRTs.

The ITS-90 defines temperature through a set of specified thermometric fixed points, interpolation instruments, and

interpolation equations.

10 Task and AsCal

AsCal is a typical calibration process including as-found and as-left, and Task is the calibration procedure of a DUT (Device
Under Test).

The ADT22XA calibrators can perform AsCal, calculate errors (Zero Error and Span Error), display results in the memory and

highlight the out-of-tolerance points.

You can download tasks and upload the results with special software. The software can generate reports and certificates for
the tasks.

AsCal will make your calibration faster and easier

The As Found calibration documents the state of the instrument before carrying out any adjustments. The calibration shows
the instrument's level of drift during calibration.

After routine maintenance and deficiencies detected during calibration are addressed an “as-left” calibration is performed.

After the RTD Transmitter is selected, press Enter or Select to enter the New Task General Data page.In this page, you can
input the general information of the DUT.

The Input Quantity defines which fields are required.Common fields for all quantities are: Input Quantity (Parameters), Unit
and Range.On this page, you should select an available RTD Sensor Type (as shown in Figure 10.2).
In addition, there may be some additional information: Pressure unit (for pressure instruments), decimals (flow instruments),
temperature unit (for RTDs/thermocouples) and cold junction compensation temperature (for thermocouples).

The Output Quantity includes the corresponding common fields similar with the Input Quantity. The same additional fields

are also available for the Output Quantity (as shown in Figure 10.3).

You can press the navigation keys Left/Right to switch the content in this page.

The Calibration Method page will appear to allow you to select between manual or automatical calibration (as shown in

Automatic Calibration

Automatic calibration is possible when the calibrator is able to generate/simulate the DUT's input signal, and measure the
DUT's output signal.

The Step Time (set point delay) setting is in use only when the Calibration Method is set to Automatic. It determines the interval
between the two calibration points.

Manual Calibration

In Manual Calibration, you have to manually set the value that the calibration point requires. Manual calibration is possible
in almost all situations, even for calibrations that can be performed automatically.

Adjust the output signal of the calibrator until the reading of the DUT displays a nominal set point, then record the reading
from the calibrator. The calibrator will calculate the DUT's theoretical reading accordingly.

Pressure indictors/recorders are also suitable for reverse calibration You can apply a pressure to read the pressure gauge

value. Its range is from 4 to 20mA. Then press or to start

3 If the Loop Test is successfully executed, the PVAO at the top of the interface

will show the specified value, the calibrator will show the measured current

value in the middle of the interface. Otherwise a popup will indicate the
“HART evice ot ound”.

11 4 2 PV Zero Trim

The PV Zero Trim operation sends a command to the transmitter to set its
PV zero. To perform a PV Zero Trim operation, proceed as follows:

1. In the HART diagnostic and service interface, choose PV Zero Trim from the list and then press Enter or Select to start
the PV zero operation. You will be asked to confirm the PV zero (As shown in Figure 11.8).

Figure 11 9 HART PV Calibration Setting

Adjust the HART transmitter's PV LRV and URV to get the consistency between the standard source range and digital
analog output (AO). To perform the PV Calibration operation, proceed as follows:

1. In the HART diagnostic and service interface, choose PV Calibration from the list, then press Enter or Select to show
the PV Calibration Setting Interface (Figure 11.9).

Press Enter or Done to view the PV Calibration Process interface (Figure

11.10). Note that the calibrator will judge whether these input values are
available for the transmitter before starting the PV Calibration Process.

4. The PV calibration process allows you to calibrate the lower (0%) and
upper (100%) range values LRV and URV) have been previously set in
PV Calibration Setting interface. Located at the top of the PV Calibration

interface is the error summary table (Figure 11.10 and Figure 11.11). Once

the calibration is complete (Figure 11.11), the PV range adjustment

information will be displayed at the bottom of the interface. You can
decide whether to adjust PV range. To reject, press Esc or Reject, to

adjust Press Enter or Adjust.

Special Calibration is very similar to the PV Calibration operation. The difference is that Special Calibration adjusts the HART
transmitter's PV LRV and URV to get the consistency between the standard source ranges and loop current (CA, while digital
analog output AO is described in the PV Calibration operation). Refer to the PV Calibration operations for reference.

11 4 5 Output Trim

The Output Trim adjusts the HART transmitter's digital analog output according to the actual loop current measured by the
calibrator. To perform an Output Trim, proceed as follows:

1. In the HART diagnostic and service interface, choose Output Trim from list, then you can press Enter or Select to show
the Output trim point selection interface.

2. In this interface, you can select Low (zero point, 4mA) output trim or high (span point, 20mA) output trim and press Enter
or Done to display the Output Trim interface (as shown in Figure 11.12).

3. In the Output Trim interface, press Enter or Trim to execute the output adjustment. The trim value can be fetched by
pressing Fetch, or it can be inputted manually.

4. If Output Trim is successfully executed, the calibrator will goes back to the Output Trim selection interface. You can repeat
steps 2 and 3 to start another Output Trim.

When the measurement is active in HART communication mode, press Setup to show the HART setup interface.The calibrator
provides five setup functions (refer to table 11-1).
