Configure the sensor
Use the CONFIGURE menu to enter identification information for the sensor and to change options
for data handling and storage.
1. Push the menu key, select SENSOR SETUP>CONFIGURE.
2. Use the arrow keys to select an option and push enter. To enter numbers, characters or
punctuation, push and hold the up or down arrow keys. Push the right arrow key to advance to
the next space.
Option Description
EDIT NAME Changes the name that corresponds to the sensor on the top of the measure screen.
The name is limited to 16 characters in any combination of letters, numbers, spaces or
punctuation.
SENSOR S/N Allows the user to enter the serial number of the sensor, limited to 16 characters in any
combination of letters, numbers, spaces or punctuation.
MEAS UNITS Changes the measurement units—Select the unit from the list available.
PRESSURE UNITS Sets the units for atmospheric pressure—Select the unit from the list available.
TEMP UNITS Sets the temperature units to °C (default) or °F
FILTER Sets a time constant to increase signal stability. The time constant calculates the
average value during a specified time—0 (no effect, default) to 60 seconds (average of
signal value for 60 seconds). The filter increases the time for the sensor signal to
respond to actual changes in the process.
LOG SETUP Sets the time interval for data storage in the data log—5, 30 seconds, 1, 2, 5, 10,
15 (default), 30, 60 minutes.
RESET DEFAULTS Sets the configuration menu to the default settings. All sensor information is lost.
Calibrate the sensor
About sensor calibration
The sensor characteristics slowly shift over time and cause the sensor to lose accuracy. The sensor
must be calibrated regularly to maintain accuracy. The calibration frequency varies with the
application and is best determined by experience.
Temperature calibration
It is recommended to calibrate the temperature sensor once a year. Calibrate the temperature sensor
before calibrating the measurement sensor.
1. Put the sensor in a container of water that is at a known temperature. Under agitation, measure
the temperature of the water with an accurate thermometer or independent instrument.
2. Push the menu key and select SENSOR SETUP>CALIBRATE.
3. If the pass code is enabled in the security menu for the controller, enter the pass code.
4. Select 1 PT TEMP CAL and push enter.
5. The raw temperature value is displayed. Push enter.
6. Enter the correct value if different from that displayed and push enter.
7. Push enter to confirm the calibration. The temperature offset is displayed.
Zero calibration
Because of the stability of the electrode, for most applications this calibration is not required but can
be used to define the unique zero point of the sensor.
1. Remove the sensor from the process and rinse in distilled water.
2. Push the menu key and select SENSOR SETUP>CALIBRATE.
