7. MAINTENANCE

The product starts running immediately when the power is turned on;
however, it needs 10 to 15 minutes of warm-up before it meets the
specified performance.

7.1 Calibration Apparatus

● A DC voltage/current standard (Yokogawa 7651 or the equivalent)

● A digital mutimeter (Yokogawa 7561 or the equivalent)

● A precision resistor of 250 Ω ± 0.01%, 1 W

● A setting tool for adjustment

(Refer to “ 4.2 Connector for Communication” in this manual.)

7.2 Calibration Procedure

(1) Connect the instruments as shown below. First adjust the output-1

signal and then the output-2 signal.

(2) Use the DC voltage/current standard and apply input signals

equivalent to 0, 25, 50, 75, and 100% of input span to the distribu­tor. When “with square root extractor” is selected, apply input sig­nals equivalent to 0, 6.25, 25, 56.25, and 100% of input span to
the distributor.

(3) Check to see the corresponding output voltages are 0, 25, 50, 75,

and 100% respectively and within the specified accuracy rating.
“R” is used for current output.

● Use the setting tool (VJ77 Parameter Setting Tool or JHT200
Handy Terminal) or the switches on the front panel (selection
switch and adjustment switch) to adjust the input/output signals.

Input Adjustment Procedure

(1) Input the value equivalent to 0% value of input range.
(2) Call the display item (A: DISPLAY1) to check the input value in

A01: INPUT1.

(3) If the adjustment is necessary, call the adjustment item (P: AD-

JUST).

(4) Select P08: IN1 ZERO ADJ to enter the adjustment mode. Select

EXECUTE (adjustment) for adjustment. (If RESET is selected,
the adjusted value is reset to the factory-set default.)

(5) Input the value equivalent to 100% value of input range.
(6) Call the display item (A: DISPLAY1) to check the input value in

A01: INPUT1.

(7) If the adjustment is necessary, call the adjustment item (P: AD-

JUST).

(8) Select P09: IN1 SPAN ADJ to enter the adjustment mode. Select

EXECUTE (adjustment) for adjustment. (If RESET is selected,
the adjusted value is reset to the factory-set default.)

Output Adjustment Procedure

(1) When adjusting 0% value of output-1, call the adjustment item (P:

ADJUST) to select P26: OUT1ZERO ADJ.

(2) If it slips out to (+) side, set (−) value equivalent to slipout; if slips

out to (−) side, set (+) value equivalent to slipout.

*: The 100% value of output-1 and the 0% value and 100% value of

output-2 can be adjusted by the same operation as the above.
For adjustment using a setting tool, refer to the User’s Manual for

each setting tool and “6. List of Parameters” in this manual.
