4.0 Setting up the multi-scanner

Warning

• The multi-scanner must not be used for any purposes
other than those described in this manual, as it might
cause a hazard.

• Do not connect the multi-scanner to input voltages
above 30 Volts.

• Only use the specified mains adaptor approved for the
voltage and plug configuration in your area.

• Do not operate the multi-scanner in environments of
explosive gas, vapour, or dust.

• The multi-scanner has been designed for indoor use
only and is not to be used in wet locations.

• The multi-scanner is not designed for operation in
altitudes above 2000 meters.

• Do not apply more than the rated voltage/current. See
specifications for supported ranges.

• Select the proper function and range for your
measurement.

Caution…

In case of resistive measurements, it is very important that

125614 04 2017-08-11 15

no capacities are present in the circuit loop. If present, they
must be discharged, before wires are connected to the
instrument.

When commencing the switch test, which is in fact a
resistive measurement, the thermostats must not be
connected to any other voltage source.

ts or even possible damage to the sensors.

Connect RS232 cables and analog signal cables before the
DC power is applied.

Place the multi-scanner on an even stable surface where you intend
to use it. Make sure that the scanner is not subjected to temperature

Caution…

The multi-scanner can be set up to supply transmitters with
24V max. 27mA.

When changing the set-up from one type of sensor to
another, especially when changing from transmitters to
other types of sensors, make sure that the multi-scanner is
reset.

The order in which the sensors are connected to the multi­scanner makes no difference. When setting up the
instrument, via the control software, it is possible to choose
individually which channels to use. But what matters is
that there is consistency between where to connect the
sensor to the instrument and what to write in the controlling
software. Inconsistency would result in faulty

LED channel 1 flashes once every second when the multi-scanner is
ready.

A constantly lit LED indicates which channel is currently being read.

Notice that the shifting of the internal relays can be heard when
setting up the multi-scanner and between channel shifts. This is not
an error.

input being the most accurate.

4.2.2 Connecting Thermocouples and Voltages Sources

See section 10.0; Technical specifications for supported types of
thermocouples. The multi-scanner has a cold junction compensation
function. Normally this function should be ON and the actual
temperature of the thermocouple can be measured.
With CJC OFF, the multi-scanner will measure the difference
between the thermocouple at the junction and at its TC input terminal.

18 2017-08-11 125614 04

Note…

The multi-scanner is also able to measure the mV of a thermocouple,
which can be used along with a table if the corresponding TC type is
not supported by the multi-scanner.

For best accuracy wait, as a minimum, 5 minutes after
connecting the sensors, before any measurements are
taken. Do not apply heat to the plugs while measuring the
TC e.g. by touching them.

4.3 Cascading the multi-scanner

It is possible to connect up to 3 multi-scanners in series and build a
system, which enables you to measure up to 24 sensors
simultaneously.

The first multi-scanner to be placed after the PC can be either an A­or a B-model. Succeeding multi-scanners have to be A-models. It is
not possible to connect multiple B-models in series.

When the DC power has been connected to the multi-scanners and
the proper RS232 connection has been established between all the
instruments, the LED’s on channel 1 on all instruments involved will
flash simultaneously.

First model is a B-model, succeeding multi-scanners are A­models

9.2.1 Installing the AMETRIM Software

The software comes on a CD-ROM and is ready to run – no
installation is required. Simply insert the CD-ROM and run the ATC­adjustment program.

9.2.2 Connecting the PC and the ASM-80x

Caution…

1. Ensure that both the PC and the ASM-80x are switched
off at the mains. Failure to do so may result in your

equipment being damaged.

2. Connect the serial cable provided to the “RS 232” port on

the front of the ASM-80x and to the COM port on the PC.

9.2.3 Starting the AMETRIM Software

Note…

Before starting this software, the PC and the ASM­must be connected together and the ASM-80x switched on.

40 2017-08-11 125614 04

Use the normal Windows procedure to start the AMETRIM
software.

If you are unsure of how to start software programs, refer to
your Windows Help

In the main menu select “Run Program” to start the
calibration.

Select “ASM-80x” and “Comport” in the “Device Quick
Connect” dialog box and press “Connect”.

125614 04 2017-08-11 41

If the ASM-80x is not switched on or is not connected to the
selected port, then the software returns to the AMETRIM
adjustment software main menu.

As the software starts, it detects the type of instrument
connected to the PC and reads its serial number.

This information plus the COM port the calibrator is
connected to is displayed at the bottom of the AMETRIM
window.

If the calibrator is not switched on or is not one of the
models covered by this manual, then the software closes
automatically.

9.2.4 Run calibration/adjustment

This option allows you to check the accuracy of the ASM-80x
electrical inputs. You will require a calibrated reference signal source.

42 2017-08-11 125614 04

For Cold Junction compensation, you will also require a stable
temperature source, for example an ice bath, and a conversion table
to provide the sensor’s corresponding µV value for the bath’s
temperature.

Note…

Before calibrating/adjusting the inputs, the ASM-80x must
have been turned on for at least half an hour.

In order to calibrate the inputs the following calibrated signals must be
used:

Nominal values Accepted range

• RTD Input:
50Ω (20 to 70Ω)
176Ω (150 to 200Ω)
360Ω (330 to 390Ω)
1760Ω (1500 to 2000Ω)
3600Ω (3300 to 3900Ω)

• mA inputs:
0 mA (-1 to +1 mA)
10 mA (9 to 11 mA)
20 mA (18 to 22 mA)

• V Inputs:
0 V (-1 to +1 V)
5 V (3 to 7 V)
10 V (9 to 11 V)

• mV inputs:
0 mV (-1 to +1 mV)
35 mV (25 to 45 mV)
70 mV (63 to 77 mV)

• Cold Junction compensation: T-type thermocouple and a
reference junction, for example an
ice bath.

definable. You can also define if you want to check the inputs by just
measuring them, adjust and calibrate or to measure, adjust and then
calibrate the electrical inputs.

Cold Junction compensation requires a special setup, using a
calibrated thermocouple and temperature source, for example an ice
bath. This and the measurement principles are shown briefly below:
