2.1 Adapting the MagMaster
Transmitter
To enable a MagMaster system to be tested
by the CalMaster it is necessary to initially fit
a small adaptor board to the MagMaster
transmitter. This adaptor is provided with the
CalMaster Unit.
Once the adaptor is fitted to the MagMaster
transmitter, the CalMaster can be easily
connected to the transmitter for testing at any
time.
Extra adaptor kits are available from the
Company
The adaptor is supplied in the form of a PCB
fittedwithconnectorswhichfitintothesensor
connection terminals of the MagMaster
transmitter.
A connection socket is also provided, which
after termination with the sensor cable, is
connected with the plug on the adaptor PCB.
This provides a flexible means of inserting
connecting leads from the CalMaster, when
testing is required, and reconnecting the
MagMaster sensor wiring when the testing is
complete.
1 PREPARATION 2 INSTALLATION
1.1 Unpacking
Unpack and visually inspect the CalMaster.
Also packed with the CalMaster are:
a) CalMaster sensor test lead set.
b) CalMaster to MagMaster communication
lead set (includes three test probes for
frequency measurement).
c) Adaptor PCBs incorporating a plug to
accept the socket in item d) below.
d) Socket which fits into item c) above.
The socket is first terminated with the
sensor cable.
e) One lead to interconnect the CalMaster
and a computer (Serial Data Connection).
f) Screwdriver for terminals.
g) Two 'CalMaster Software' Disks.
h) This Instruction Manual.
i) Mains operated battery charger
j) Lead for charging battery from12 Volts.
Save packing materials for any re-shipment,
or to support any claim of shipment damage.
All damage claims are made against the
carrier and are the responsibility of the
customer.

2.2.2 Fitting the Adaptor Board
(Fig. 2.3 and 2.4)
a) Turn off the power to the MagMaster.
b) Record the position of the sensor cable
wiring and remove the wiring from the
terminals. Slacken the terminal screws
by at least 6 turns.
c) Carefully ease the sensor wiring to one
side and arrange the adaptor board so
that the extended pins fit into the
terminals previously occupied by the
sensor wiring – see Fig.2.4.
d) Fit and tighten the securing screw to the
corner of the adaptor board.
e) Tighten the associated terminal block
screws.

2.2.3 Wiring theAdaptor Socket
(Fig. 2.5)
The wires in the sensor cable must now be
wired to the 8-way adaptor socket which will
then connect to the plug on the adaptor
board.
1Adjust the wire lengths of the sensor
cable to allow for termination and
subsequent removal of the adaptor
socket.
2Insert the sensor cable wiring into the
socket as shown in Fig 2.5, and tighten
the plug screws with the screwdriver
provided.
Caution. Ensure that no bare
wires touch each other; in particular,
ensure that there is no connection
between the screens of the grey and
white coaxial wires.
3Insert the adaptor socket into the plug on
the adaptor PCB.
Warning. Testing the MagMaster
involves operation with the MagMaster
terminal cover removed, exposing live
terminals. Take precautions to avoid
electric shock hazard.
Switch on the power to the MagMaster and
check that the system operates correctly.
If the MagMaster operates correctly, either
the transmitter covers can be replaced for
normal working or the MagMaster can be
tested by the CalMaster.

2.2.4 System Setup (Fig. 2.6)
Warning. Care is needed when
CalMaster is used with cathodically protected
MagMasters.
Cathodically protected installations, wired as
directed in the MagMaster manual, which
isolate the sensor using earthing flanges, are
electricallyearthedanddonotposeanysafety
issues.
When apparatus, such as CalMaster or the
PC,areconnected to systemswhich'float'the
sensoratthecathodicpotential,thisapparatus
will also float at the cathodic potential and
therefore must not be grounded or
accidentally grounded.
With the adaptor PCB installed in the MagMaster
Transmitter as detailed in Section 2.2.2, and the
sensor cable plugged into the adaptor as for
normal operation:

CalMaster
a) Connect lead 3 of the CalMaster to the
MagMaster 9-pin D-Type socket. The three
small probes should not be connected until
requestedtodosobytheCalMastersoftware.
For details of when to connect these probe
leads, follow the instructions on the provided
software – see Section 3.2. For details of
where to connect the probe leads, follow the
'on-line help' under the heading, 'test lead
connections'.
b) Connect the 9-Pin D-Type socket on the
CalMaster to a computer (Serial Comms
Connection).
✶
Note.The use of CalMaster with a line
powered desktop PC, as opposed to a
portable, battery powered PC, is not
recommended,astheresultingground(eqrth)
