Essentially, 1-4 pen recorders trace their measured variables on a 12-inch (30-24 cm) diameter round chart. Indicating recorders provide the same function but also include a pointer that tracks the #1 pen reading on a 12-inch horizontal scale. Recording controllers are furnished in both pump controller and pneumatic con- troller models. The former provides on-off sequencing operations for external pump @ireuite, while the latter provides analog control for an external pneu- matic valve. Dial indicator models do not perform recording functions. A highly visible pointer indicates the value of the measured variable on a round, 12-inch diame~ ter scale. The scale values are easily viewed from long distances. A complete list of standard models and options 1s presented in Table 1-A.

INSTRUMENT OPTIONS © Electric Alarm Units Recorders with electric alarm units (Figure 1-4) provide alarm contacts to activate an external device euch as a lemp, buzzer, bell, or horn. Units may be specified with Hi or Lo, or Hi-Lo contacts. Alarm setpoints are adjustable over the full instrument range. © Pump Control Units ‘These units are furnished for applications where one or more pumps are used to maintain the level of liguid in a tank. Pump Control Units (Figure 1-5) are on-off type controllers that activate relays to operate and sequence the pumps. Two independent setpoint adjustments are used to set the desired operating range. © Integrator Boards These boards (Figure 1-4) accept an analog input signal from a 4-20 mA transmitter and provide two outputs. The first output is a 0-10 Vde instantaneous flow signal that feeds the into the Servo Module which, in turn, drives the pen or pointer. The second output is a pulse count signal (counts/hour or counts/minute) that is applied to a totalizing counter to display the accumulated flow. Integrator Boards may be specified for linear or square root integration. © Pneumatic Control Units Pneumatic control units (Figure 1-6) maintain a measured variable (DC input to servo) at a determined setpoint using standard gain, and optional inte~ Introduction | 1-5 cI-4330 Figure 1-5 Interior of Pump Control Recorder (Chart Plate Removed) 1-6 J Introduction cI-4330 : =o “eran / tease gate |_| —— enn nn car os ecxroecen —T] | __—ennar one saree —] +4 sezegaren —T we we Figure 1-6 Interior of Recording Pneumatic Control ler (Chart Plate Removed --Servos Omitted for Clarity) Introduction | 1-7 c1-4330 gral and derivative control algorithms. These units provide a 3-15 psi or 3-27 psi output to a pneumatic control operator. Two gauges are furnished with each unit to monitor supply and output pressures. A setpoint adjustment knob positions the setpointer over the input range. © Manual-Automatie Station This station (not shown) may be specified with recording pneumatic con- trollers to provide switching between manual end automatic control modes. It is typically assembled to the bottom of the recorder case. An optional, MODEL NUMBER BREAKDOWN A data plate affixed to the inside of the instrument door provides the model and serial numbers, and the measurement range of each pen or pointer. Other pertinent data may also be included. A goneral breakdown of instrument model numbers is given in Table I-A. This table identifies the types of Series 4330 instruments. A more detailed break- down that identifies specific features of each model is contained in Table 3-A of Section 3 Field Wiring. This table also references diagrams that relate to the wiring of the appropriate features. 1-8 | Introduction Section 2 INSTALLATION UNPACKING THE INSTRUMENT Carefully remove all protective cushioning material, cardboard guards, and shipping tape. Check the accessory mounting kit (4f included) for complete ness. Your instrument will be shipped with pens or pointers secured in a fixed posi- tion. Remove any tape, elastics or packing material as required. Do not apply excessive force to linkages or mechanisms while unpacking as you may upset calibration or cause linkage damage. SELECTING A LOCATION When choosing a site for the instrument, select one that is convenient to both the process and operator. You should avoid areas where dirt, dust, and corro- sive fumes are excessive, and areas where vibration is encountered. Also, make eure that ambient temperature conditions are within the specified range (see Section 6 Specifications), If ambient conditions exceed this range, excessive errors and poor performance may result. | Prolonged operation under extreme environmental conditions may also cause instrument failure. ‘WARNING Do not install or operate these instruments in environments containing flammable gases or volitile dust particles. These instru- ments contain electrical devices which, under certain conditions, could generate sparks and result in flash fire or explo- ston. INSTALLING THE INSTRUMENT Before you install the instrument, make sure that the area provides good illu- menation for the operator. You should also allow sufficient clearance for the door to swing open and for any back or bottom connections to enter the instru~ ment. Since some measuring systems furnished by us are position sensitive, you must install the instrument so that it is reasonably level on both its horizontal and depth axis (x and z). This will insure that the instrument operates in its factory-calibrated position. c1-4330 Installation / 2-1 c1-4330 yonstwr wont - evens Figure 2-1 Wall Mounted Unit Figure 2-2 Panel Mounted Unit Figure 2-3 Rear Pipe Mounted Unit 2-2 | Installation cI-4330 The overall mounting dimensions for various types of instruments are contained in Figures 2-5 through 2-8.

These models are furnished with one unit for one pen (single control) or two units for two pens (dual control). Pneumatic options include a Man-Auto Station and a remote setpoint input. General Installation Notes Your controller requires a clean, dry and regulated pressure source to minimize maintenance procedures and operational failures. | The use of supplemental items such as those shown in the installation of Figure 2-9 will help you meet these objectives and also guard your equipment against accidental overpressure. You should take note of the following items when installing your controller: Regulator and Filter. Your installation could include these as separate items or as a combination regulator/filter assembly. The filter protects your pneumatic instrument from entry of dirt and oil while the regulator maintains the supply pressure at the proper operating level. WARNING The supply pressure of the instrument must be maintained within specified limits at all tdmes (18-20 psd for 3-15 psi models or 30- 35 psi for 3-27 pet models). If the supply pressure is incorrect, the control unit may provide an erroneous signal to the final control element. For some critical applica- tions, this could cause a loss of control and result {a injury to persons and damage to property. Shutoff Valve. A shutoff valve installed in the supply line provides you with added safety and convenience when servicing your instrument. When you close the valve, the instrument or filter can be serviced without disrupting the supply pressure. Slope of Lines. Your SUPPLY and OUTPUT lines should be dressed so that they slope downward from the instrument. In this way any condensate trapped in the lines drains away from the instrument. Size of Lines. For most short run installations the size of the connecting lines fe not critical. However, if your lines are stretched out over long distances, a noticlable delay in controller response will occur due to fric~ tionel losses... Table 2-Acprovides some ~ typical weleys. that can occur with 3/16, 1/4 and 3/8 4nch type tubing. | The use of the proper size line will save time in the long run.

During operation the pneumatic control unit will bleed air into the instrument case. To prevent a buildup of internal pressure, your instrument includes a vent hole at the bottom of the case. If this hole becomes clogged, it could cause erratic controller operation. We recommend that you check this vent ona regular basis to insure that it is clear. WARNING Recording Pneumatic Controllers must never be connected to flammable gas pressure sup- plies. These models contain electrical devices that could, under certain condi- tions, generate sparks and result in fire or explosion. Control Unit I£ your instrument is furnished with a single pneumatic control unit, its SUP- PLY and OUTPUT ports will be connected as shown in Figure 2-9. If it hes two units, each pair of SUPPLY and OUTPUT ports will be connected as shown in Fig- ure 2-10. Internal Man-Auto Station Recording Pneumatde Controllers having an internal Manual-Automatic Station assembly provide a 1/4 inch NPT female SUPPLY port at the bottom of the case. These ports have the same locations and functions cited in Figure 2-9. Remote Setpoint If your. recording controller -4s--specdfied with this feature, its input will typically be a signal from a pneumatic manual loading station. The connections for this application are shown in the block diagram of Figure 2-11.

Recorders are offered with electric single-speed chart drives that operate from 120 Vac supply sources. These drives may be specified for 50 or 60 Hz sup- plies. The type of drive furnished with your recorder is listed on the speci- fications data plate. | ——— sue stor TIME INDEX _-CHART PLATE STANDARD FOUNTAIN PEN INKING SYSTEM — | cant Hus cue to “SPRING CLIP SPRING CLIP Figure 4A-1 Operating Components Operation of Chart Drives / 4A-1 c1-4330 INSTALLING THE CHART The circular paper chart (12-inch diameter) is held against the chart plate as shown in Figure 4A-1, Installation is as follows: 1, Open the recorder door to gain access to the interior. The door latch lifts up to unlock the door. 2, Release the pen lifter rod from the upper guide slot holder and move it downward to raise the pen/s from the chart. CAUTION Never force a pen arm toward either side of its resting position because some arms may be coupled to measuring devices with little or no give. Damage to the pen arm or link- age may result if the applied force is ex- cessive. 3. Slide the chart hub clip (Figure 4A-1) toward its rounded end and flip it upwards to unlock it. 4, Lift the old chart from the bottom to clear the hub and remove it from the recorder. 5. Insert the new chart beneath the pens while maneuvering its center hole, over the hub. Position the chart so that the upper part is under the guide slot and the left part is under the time index. 6. Rotate the chart by hand until the desired starting time on the chart is indicated by the time index. NOTE On multi-pen recorders the time index cor- responds to the are traced by the #1 pen. The other pens will trace slightly different arcs because of their longer lengths. Flip the chart hub clip down and slide it horizontally to lock the chart into position. 7. Push the pen lifter rod upward to lower the pens on the chart. Place the pen lifter back in its holder (upper guide slot). The chart Anstallation procedure is complete. 4h-2 | Operation of Chart Drives c1-4330 OPERATING CHART DRIVE Electric chart drives are driven by a synchronous motor through an internal gear train, This drive is illustrated in Figure 44-2. The drive motor begins operating when power 4s applied to the L1 and 12 termi- nals, Some recorders may be furnished with an optional power switch on the instrument panel to turn the drive ON or OFF. If the drive is turned OFF, be sure to raise the pen/s from the chart to prevent ink blots. REMOVAL OF CHART PLATE The chart plate must be removed to gain access to the chart drive, wiring ter- minals, and other internal components. The removal procedure is as follows: WARNING Dangerous voltages (120 Vac) are present in the recorder. Remove all power from the recorder including any external power ap- plied to electrical options such as alarms, pump controllers, and integrators before performing any maintenance procedures or service checks. 1. Unlatch the pen lifter from the upper guide slot and move it downward to raise the pen/s from the chart. Figure 4A-2 Electric Chart Drive (120 Vac) Operation of Chart Drives / 4A-3 cI-4330 2. Remove the paper chart (1£ present) as previously described under the topic, INSTALLING THE CHART on page 4A-2. 3. Depress the spring clips on each side of the chart plate while simultaneously lifting the bottom of the plate outward. Once the chart plate is disengaged, release the clips. Maneuver the chart plate downward and outward to clear the chart hub and pens. Carefully place the chart plate aside. 4. Perform interior service adjustments or checks as required. 5. When replacing the chart plate, slowly guide the upper part of the plate into the upper hook brackets while simultaneously pushing the lower part inward to engage the spring clips. | The chart plate snaps into place when pushed inward. 6. Replace the chart and lower the pens, Place the pen lifter back into its holder. SETTING THE TIME INDEX ‘The time index shown in Figure 4A-1 must point to the are traced by the pen. On multi-pen recorders, the time index must correspond with the arc of the #1 pen (shortest length pen arm). All other pen arcs on multi-pen models will offset from this point by a fixed amount. a Both a screw-type and a snap-on type time index are used with recorders. To set the screw type, loosen the screw, position the index on the edge of the chart plate as required, and finger-tighten the screw to secure the position. To set the snap-on type, pry it off the edge of the chart plate, align it with the proper pen, and press it back firmly into the plate edge. CHART DRIVE MAINTENANCE NOTES ‘The motors contained in these drives are factory-sealed and do not require lubrication. If the motor fails to turn with power applied, check for an Incorrectly set power switch or blown fuse. If motor overheating occurs, check for binding in the chart hub or drive gears. Internal binding of the gear mechanism will necessitate repair or replacement of the drive. 4A-4 | Operation of Chart Drives Section 4B OPERATION OF PEN SYSTEMS GENERAL, Recorders may be furnished with two types of pen systems: fountain or fiber tip. The fountain pen is a compact pen assembly with a refillable ink reser- volr. The fiber tip pen is a factory-filled cartridge that is discarded when the ink supply 4s consumed. Details on both types follow. FOUNTAIN PEN INKING SYSTEMS Fountain pen inking systems may be furnished in flat or barrel types. The flat types shown in Figure 4B-1 are used on multi-pen recorders where clearance between pen arms limits their ink capacity. The barrel types, not shown, are used only on single-pen recorders. These pens are physically larger and hold more ink than the flat type. Fountain Pens operate by gravity feed. The recorder must be installed reason- ably level to insure proper ink delivery. Fountain pens can be removed from pen arms for general cleaning and mainte~ nance. A special cleaning wire is supplied in the accessory kit to ream out hardened deposits in the pen orifice. Starting Ink Flow ‘The procedure for filling and priming a fountain pen system is as follows: Place a piece of scrap paper under the Pen tip. 2. Using an eydropper, F411 the Fountain Pen reservoir to the 2/3 eee level shown in Figure 4B-1. For ~ aulti-pen recorders, be sure to match the ink color with the color~ coded dot on the pen arm. RESERVOIR 3. Move the scrap paper back and forth on until the pen provides a clean FOUN Tat PEN trace on the accep paper. Unhook ULF the pen lifter from its holder and MIN. Ya~ — raise the pen/s from the chert. BEN TIP Discard the serap paper and rotate the chart to the desired timing Figure 48-1 Fountain Pen Assy. Operation of Pen Systems / 43-1 c1-4330 £ / ) & Figure 48-2 Priming Fountain Pen Figure 48-3 Using Cleaning Wire mark. Lower the pen/e and put the pen lifter back in its holder. However, if the pen fails to write, proceed to the next step. If thé ink does not flow, it will be necessary to prime the Fountain Pen, Siphon out all the ink in the pen reservoir and unclip the fountain pen from the pen arm. | Remove the pen by holding the flexible pen arm with one hand and pulling on the Fountain Pen with the other. With the pen removed, refill the reservoir to about the 1/4 level shown in Figure 4B-1. Hold the pen as shown 4n Figure 4B-2 and alternately pump the top with the thumb. Repeat this procedure until ink squirts from the tip. Do not pump all the ink out. Add more ink, if necessary, to maintain 1/4 level. If the pen cannot be primed, it may be clogged with hardened deposits. Refer to next subtopfe titled, “Flushing and Cleaning." Otherwise continue on to next step. Once the pen is primed, do not empty out the reservoir. Maintain the ink at the 1/4 level. Carefully slip the Fountain Pen back into the pen arm, Once the pen is installed, add sufficdent ink to bring the ink back up to 2/3 level and operate the recorder as required. Cleaning and Flushing Fountain Pen assemblies should be cleaned and flushed on a regular basis to achieve clear and steady ink flow. Proceed as follows: 4B-2 | Siphon out any ink in the Fountain Pen reservoir with an eyedropper. While securing the pen arm with one hand, pull off the Fountain Pen with the other. Rinse the Fountain Pen thoroughly with hot water. Operation of Pen Systems cI-4330 4. Fill the reservoir with hot water and place the thumb against the top as shown in Figure 4B-2. Alternate pump the top of the reservoir with the thumb until clear water squirts from the pen tip. 5. T£.the pen is clogged, obtain the cleaning wire from the accessory kit and insert it into the pen orifice as shown in Figure 4B-3. Move the cleaning wire in and out to work out caked deposits. Once the orifice is open, repeat step 4. 6. Slip the Fountain Pen assembly back into the pen arm. If necessary, refer back to the subtopic, "Starting Ink Flow." Preventative Maintenance Check the ink level of the Fountain Pen reservoir each time a chart is changed. Do not allow the recorder to sit idle for long periods as the ink will dry and cause the pen to clog. When shutting down the recorder, be sure to drain and clean the pen reservoir. Avoid overfilling the pen reservoir as splashing may result during recording. For best results, keep the reservoir filled between the 1/4 and 2/3 level shown in Figure 4B-1, Splashing can also result from recording a measured variable that dscillates excessively or is subject to violent excursions. If this is the case, check your measurement application and apply corrective demping techniques. When filling the reservoir, do not use old ink that has been exposed to-air for prolonged periods as evaporation will affect its composition. Furthermore, do not dilute old or dried ink with fresh ink since this will contaminate the new mixture. Always discard old or questionable ink. FIBER TIP PEN CARTRIDGES Fiber Tip Pens (Figure 4B-4) provide the user with the convenience of disposa~ ble cartridges. Each cartridge has a capacity of approximately 700 feet (213 meters) of writing. A fresh supply of ink is obtained each time the cartridge ds changed. The fiber tip pen provides uniform ink flow, high clarity and reliable writing. No cleaning or maintenance is required. Conversion from Fountain Pen to Fiber Tip Cartridge Fiber Tip Pen Cartridges can also be installed in recorder models equipped with fountain pen assemblies. A holding clip furnished with the fiber tip pen is used to secure the cartridge. On certain models the pen arm will not accom- modate the cartridge, due to.a. ridge . running..along the. arm length. For these models, the arms must be re-mounted inward so that the ridge faces inside the recorder enclosure. Excessive Ink Consumption If it ds found that the recorder is consuming an excessive amount of car- tridges, the measurement application could be the problem. High ink consump- tion can sometimes be traced to a measured variable that generates continuous - Operation of Pen Systems / 4B-3 cr-330 CO voxois CLIP ~ J-SLOT Figure 48-4 Instal lat n of Fiber Tip Pen Cartridge wide swings or one that oscillates or jitters. Continuous wide swings can be caused by an untuned or poorly controlled process. Oscillation may indicate an oversensitive control valve that requires damping. Replacing Cartridges Fiber Tip Pen Cartridges are furnished in packages of six in the color speci~ fied by the purchaser. When replacing cartridges of multi-pen recorders, make sure that the ink color matches the color dot on the pen arm. ‘The procedure for replacing cartridges is given below. A small, flat-edge tool such as a screwdriver may be required to pry off the holding clip. 1. Unpack a new Fiber Tip Pen Cartridge and carefully remove the cap covering the pen tip. Do not touch the pen tip. 2. Unlock the pen lifter from its holder and pull it downward to raise the pen/s from the chart. 3. Unsnap the holding clip shown in Figure 4B-4, Use a small screw-driver to pry out an outer edge of the clip. Discard the clip and the empty cartridge. 4. Position-the’new cartridge-on the arm, “Fit the nib’ ofthe pen into the *y? slot of the pen arm. 5. While holding the cartridge in place, position the new holding clip Dehind the pen arm and snap it in place. Make sure the outer end of the holding clip snaps over the outer ridges of the pen cartridge. 6. Raise the pen lifter and place it back into its holder. The pen should begin tracing on the chart. 43-6 | Operation of Pen Systems cI-4330 REMOVAL OF PEN ARM The flexible pen arm can be removed for service or replacement. This is accom- plished by loosening the detachment screw on the pen mounting assembly (Figure 4B-5) and pulling the arm downward to free it from the mounting. Once the arm ie removed, inspect it for dirt or film. If necessary, clean the arm using using hot water and detergent. Rinse the arm thoroughly and dry. When reinstalling the pen arm, push it snug against the shoulder head on the pen mounting. Make sure the notch in the arm fits into the shoulder head so that the travel are of the pen is maintained. Tighten the detachment screw moderately to secure the arm position.

The assembly is comprised of a bridge circuity, balancing amplifier, and a DC torque motor. Servo Module types are furnished for use with RTD bulb, voltage, millivolt, and milliampere input signals. Your input circuit type and range are listed on the specifications date plate affixed to the instrument. The measuring circuit of the module is assembled on a plug-in range card that is furnished as fixed or adjustable range type. The fixed range type is cali- brated at the factory for a single operating range, while the adjustable range type can be re-calibrated in the field for different ranges. CALIBRATION EQUIPMENT In order to check calibration, it is ne- cessary to supply precise input test levels equivalent to 0%, 50% and 100% of the instrument span, Since the instrument can be specified with different measuring systems, the test device must be capable of emulating the the input signal. Some typical examples are: RID Input: Precision temperature resistance bridge. Voltage Input: Precision voltage source monitored by DMM (Digital Multimeter). Millivott Input: Precision millivolt source monitored by DMM. Milliamp Input: Same as millivolt serra nurt input but remove current loop resistor. The accuracy of control and monitoring equipment should be five to ten times Figure 5A-1 Servo Module Assembly Calibration of Servo Module / 5A-1 cI-4330 better than that given for the measuring system in the specifications section. Typical accuracy of test equipment should be from +0.1% to +.01. WARNING Be careful when disconnecting any input, output or power elreuits from the instrument terminals as some devices may be at extreme- ly high electrical potentials with respect to ground.” To prevent electrical shock, turn OFF all external sensor circuits and any powered devices wired to the instrument terminals before attempting any disconnects. Accessing the Module The Serve Module must be accessed to change range cards or perform calibration. On recorder models, access is achieved by removing the chart plate, while on dial indicator models the dial plate is removed. Accessing Module Calibration Components All modules are furnished with an upper plate that provides an opening for the Gain Adj. pot (see Figure 5A-1), This plate can also be removed (three screws) to access the slidewire shown in Figure 5A-2. Earlier version modules included a bottom plate (Figure 5A-1) that had to be removed in order to access the bridge card and the zero and span adjustments. The bridge card is shown in Figure 5A-2. Constructing a Test Chart for Recorder Models Figure 5A-2 identifies the module items associated with calibration. Since these items are blocked by the chart plate, 4t will be necessary for you to fabricate a rigid test chart with a cut-away section to permit normal operation and accessibility. Proceed as follows: 1, Paste or glue a new chart to a piece of thin, rigid cardboard or metal. Do not allow any chart wrinkles to form. 2. When dry, cut the material to conform with the circular shape of the chart. Then cut out approximately 150 degrees of chart area leaving the center hole intact. 3. Remove the chart plate from the recorder. 4. Place the test chart on the chart hub and rotate it to a starting point where the calibration adjustments are accessible and the pen has sufficient area to write. 5. Secure the chart position by lecking the chart hub clip. Proceed with calibration as required. 5A-2 | Caldbration of Servo Module c1-4330 GAIN ADJUSTMENT The gain adjustment shown in Figure 5A-1 controls the response of the pen or pointer to a change of the measured variable. A proper gain setting is essen- tial to achieve optimum response and minimal deadband. The gain must also be properly set before performing any calibration adjustments. The gain adjustment is a ten-turn potentiometer that permits pinpoint settings. It should be checked when the instrument is installed or when a range card is changed. The adjustment procedure is as follows: 1. Apply a £4xed-level test signal between 25% and 75% of the instrument span to the input terminals. 2, Increase the test signal level to about +1%. Then bring the test signal back to dts original level. Note any change in instrument reading. 3. Repeat step 2 but this time decrease the level to about -1%. 4. | Compute the deadband as follows: ROTOR OUTPUT SLIDEWIRE CONTACT. ‘ARM BRIDGE CARD.

If the deadband is greater than .25%, set the gain adj. one turn clockwise and recheck per step 4, Continue to experiment with settings until the deadband is at or below .25%. A deadband setting greater than 125% will result in sluggish pen/pointer response, whereas one that 1s too elose to zero will result in pen/pointer oversensitivity or oscillation. MODULE ZERO AND SPAN CALIBRATION ‘This topie describes the: initial calibration checks, slidewire arm travel check, calibration of modules with RTD inputs, and the calibration of modules with V, mV and mA inputs. Perform checks in the sequence that follows: NOTE The calibration of the servo module must always be checked first before attempting the linkage calibration described in Section 5B. If extensive linkage adjustments are made first without verifying the Servo Mod- ule, severe miscalibration of both can re- sult. Initial Calibration Checks This check 4s made to see if any calibration errors exist. Proceed as follows: 1. Disconnect the normal input sources from the instrument terminals (if present) -and connect -a test signal-source in its- place, 2. Apply a 0% signal to the instrument and note the reading on the chart or scale. 3. Repeat the above procedure with a 50% and 100% signal. 4. Ig all readings are within +0.5% of the dnstrument span, STOP! No calibration is required. 5A-4 | Calibration of Servo Module c1-4330 HIGH END Low ENO 100%. o% PINK RETAINING RETAINING cue cup Figure 5A-3 Contact Arm Sweep 5., If it is found that all three readings are equally displaced upscale or downscale by a minor amount, you may attempt a correction by adjusting the mechanical fine zero adjustment on the pen or pointer (see Section 5B - Linkage Calibration for details). This type of error is usually ‘small enough to be corrected by a minor adjustment. If the error was corrected, STOP! No further calibration is required. 6. If it 4s found that all three readings have errors of different values and in different directions, do not attempt any further linkage adjustments. You must first verify thet the Servo Module is functioning normally and is approximately within calibration. Proceed to the next subtopic. Slidewire Arm Travel Check ‘The travel of the slidewire contact arm must be verified before any module adjustments are made. In general, the contact arm must travel a full 33 degree sweep over the slidewire surface for a corresponding 0-100% change of input signal. 1. Disconnect the pen/pointer Linkage from the servo module by opening the snap fitting on the driving arm (see Section 5B for illustration). This will dsolate the module from the pen/pointer mechanism. 2. Remove both covers of Servo Module so it appears as shown in Figure 5A~ 2. Apply a 0% signal to the instrument and observe that the slidewire contact arm 1s resting at a distance (D) between 1/16 and 1/8 inch away from the right retaining clip (see Figure 54-3). 4. Apply 2 100% signal. The results should be the same as the previous step except this time the contact arm will now be at the left retaining clip. Calibration of Servo Module / 5A-5 cI-4330 5. If the travel end points of the contact arm exceed or fall short of the distance noted above, the module is either out of calibration or it has fa defect. Re-connect linkage and proceed to subtopic "Calibration of Modules with RTD Inputs," or "Calibration of Modules with V, mV or mA Inputs" as required. Calibration of Modules with RTD Input ‘These modules perform temperature measurement using an RTD resistance bulb as the input. The range card supplied for these modules are factory-calibrated to operate at a single fixed range. Therefore these modules are not provided with electrical zero and span adjustments. If the servo module failed the slidewire travel check described above, it is probably defective and will require repairs or replacement. However, if it passed the travel test, then you may proceed with linkage calibration as des- eribed in Section 5B. Calibration of Modules with mV or mA Input Modules in this grouping may be specified for use with voltage, millivolt or milliempere signal sources. The range card for these models include electrical zero and span‘pots as noted in Figure 5A-2. ‘These modules may be specified with fixed or adjustable range cards. The zero and span on fixed range cards provide an adjustment range of approximately 5% of span, while those on adjustable range cards provide a much wider sweep to achieve custom calibration. 1. Apply a test signal equivalent to 0% of the instrument range. If the slidewire contact arm is not at the proper distance (1/16 to 1/8 inch) from the 0% end of the slidewire as shown in Figure 5A-3, adjust the zero pot to bring it into position. 2. Apply a 100% test signal. If the slidewire contact arm is not at the proper distance from the 100% end, adjust the span pot to bring it in range. 3. Alternately repeat the above steps to bring the contact arm in range. 4. As a £inal check, apply a 50% test signal. The contact arm should now be at the middle of its travel. 5. Reconnect the pen/pointer linkage. 6. Reapply test input levels of 0%, 50% and 100%. If the pen/pointer reading read within +0.5% of span, no further calibration is required. If offset is present, go on to Section 5B - Calibration of Linkage. 5A-6 | Calibration of Servo Module
