Technical
Description The calibration mode is divided into three main areas of calibration.
ON DEMAND Functions
On demand functions are functions activated by pressing and holding the PROGRAM button
for 4 to 5 seconds after the required function has been configured in the calibration mode. This
mode is suitable for many applications where end users often need to:
• Calibrate the meter at regular intervals.
•Manually enter input compensation values.
• Manually adjust analog output signal values for control purposes.
Note:
See Figure 3.
The following calibration procedures can not be carried out on a signal (Result, or
CH1 to CH4) if the signal has an active linearization table. The table or tables must
be disabled before calibration and then re-activated when calibration is complete:
•On demand single-point calibration.
• On demand two-point calibration.
• Manual calibration.
• Two-point calibration.

Texmate, Inc. Tel. [phone] • www.texmate.comCalibration Mode (NZ203) Page 7
On Demand
Functions All on demand functions are accessed by setting the 1st digit in the calibration mode to 0
[CAL] [0XX].
The 2nd digit selects one of the following on demand functions:
• On Demand Tare [01X].
• On Demand Single-point Calibration [02X].
• On Demand Two-point Calibration [03X].
• On Demand Primary Input Compensation [04X].
• On Demand Manual Loader Mode [05X].
The 3rd digit selects the required object to be programmed for on demand activation and
depends on the on demand function selected.
On Demand Tare
On demand tare is used for weighing applications or when the meter is required to display
a % deviation from a primary value.
Setting the 1st and 2nd digits to [01X] selects the on demand tare function.
By selecting a number in the 3rd digit, tare can be programmed to activate on demand for
one of the following signals:
• Result [010].
• Channel 1 [011].
• Channel 2 [012].
• Channel 3 [013].
• Channel 4 [014].
See Calibration Mode Programming Codes on Page 5.
See Page 19 for detailed procedures.
On Demand Single-point Calibration
This procedure is used where only the span (HIGH input signal) setting requires adjusting to
a calibrated value. For example, optical sensors or pH meters with one known solution.
Setting the 1st and 2nd digits to [02X] selects the on demand single-point calibration
procedure.
By selecting a number in the 3rd digit, single-point calibration can be programmed to activate
on demand and calibrate one of the following signals:
• Result [020].
•Channel 1 [021].
• Channel 2 [022].
• Channel 3 [023].
• Channel 4 [024].

On Demand Primary Input Compensation
On demand primary input compensation is used where measurement applications require an
operator entered programmable offset.
Fluctuations on an input signal due to changes in the process conditions pressure, tempera-
ture are compensated for by manual adjustment.
This function allows the operator to use the UP and DOWN buttons increase or decrease the
primary input signal (normally programmed for CH1) through a secondary channel (normally
CH2). The primary and secondary channels are processed and the resultant display shows a
signal compensated for variations to the primary input signal.
When the PROGRAM button is pressed for 4 to 5 seconds during normal operation, the
compensation offset amount can be adjusted. If the meter has been configured for channel
1 (CH1) plus channel 2 (CH2), entering a positive value increases the compensation offset
amount. If the meter has been configured for CH1 minus CH2, entering a positive value
decreases the compensation offset amount.
Setting the 1st and 2nd digits to [04X] selects on demand primary input compensation.
By selecting a number in the 3rd digit, primary input compensation can be programmed to
activate on demand and compensate the signal on one of the following signals:
• Channel 1 [041].
• Channel 2 [042].
• Channel 3 [043].
• Channel 4 [044].
See Figure 6.
On Demand Two-point Calibration
This procedure is used where a LOW and HIGH input signal value needs to be adjusted.
Setting the 1st and 2nd digits to [03X] selects the on demand two-point calibration proce-
dure.
By selecting a number in the 3rd digit, two-point calibration can be programmed to activate
on demand and calibrate one of the following signals:
• Result [030].
•Channel 1 [031].
• Channel 2 [032].
• Channel 3 [033].
• Channel 4 [034].

The meter is usually configured so that:
• The display is set up in Code 1 to [X50] to display the result of CH1 and CH2 (CH2 added to
CH1, or CH2 subtracted from CH1).
• The input signal is via CH1 and set up in Code 2.
• The compensation value is entered in CH2, which is set up in Code 4 to [000].
• Processing the result is set up in Code 7 to either [003] for CH1 plus CH2, or [004] for CH1
minus CH2.
• The primary input compensation function is activated by setting the calibration mode to [042].
See Calibration Mode Programming Codes on Page 5.
See Pages 22 and 23 for detailed procedures.
Before configuring the meter as an on
demand manual loader:
• Make sure the ANALOG OUTPUT
SELECTION HEADER is correctly select-
ed for the output signal type: volts or mil-
liamps.
See Analog Output Module Supplement
(NZ200) for details.
• Connect a multimeter to pins 16 and 17 on
the meter’s analog output connector block.
• Scale and calibrate the analog output
using the multimeter.
See Analog Output Calibration Procedure
on Page 36 for details.
On Demand Manual Loader Mode
The meter can be programmed for precise and repeatable manual control from the digital
display via the analog output. This is known as the manual loader mode.
The meter is configured so that the display (in engineering units) accurately relates to the ana-
log output. The analog output is adjusted using the UP and DOWN buttons on the front panel.
Setting the 1st and 2nd digits to [05X] selects the on demand manual loader mode.
By selecting a number in the 3rd digit, either [051] or [052], the manual loader mode is pro-
grammed to activate on demand (by pressing the PROGRAM button for 4 to 5 seconds) and
adjust one of the following analog output signals:
• Analog Output 1 [051].
• Analog Output 2 [052].
The analog output via the manual loader mode can be used to control valves, motor speed, gate
position, or any control unit requiring precise manual control using a 0-10 V or 0/4-20 mA input.
The analog output can be locked by connecting the COMMON pin (pin 11) and the HOLD pin
(pin 9) at the rear of the meter. See Figure 7.

Thermocouple Calibration
This is an initial thermocouple calibration mode using a K type thermocouple source as a ref-
erence and is suitable for all thermocouple types. For increased accuracy, the manufacturer
recommends that further calibration using the two-point calibration procedure and inputing a
LOW and HIGH signal for the required thermocouple type should be carried out.
Before calibration, configure the meter for a K type thermocouple for the required channel:
• For CH1 enter Code 2 and select [X11].
• For CH2 enter Code 4 and select [11X].
• For CH3 enter Code 5 and select [X21].
• For CH4 enter Code 6 and select [021].
Connect a temperature simulator using a connector of the required thermocouple type to the
input module terminal pins (normally pins 1 and 2, or 1 and 3).
See I-Series Input Module Supplement for connection details.
Short the input at the terminal pins to simulate a 0.0 V reference signal.
Enter the calibration mode. Setting the 1st and 2nd digits to [12X] selects the thermocouple
calibration procedure.
By selecting a number in the 3rd digit one of the following signals can be calibrated:
• Result [120].
• Channel 1 [121].
• Channel 2 [122].
• Channel 3 [123].
• Channel 4 [124].
Carry out an initial calibration of the thermocouple input on the selected channel. The meter
applies a 0.0 V internal reference signal. When complete, remove the short across the input
module terminals. Continue and apply a 32 °F and then a 2500 °F input to the meter.
Enter the programming code for the selected channel and select the required thermocouple
type. For example, an S type thermocouple for CH1 would be set up as [X13] in Code 2.
Decide on the measurement system required: °F or °C. As standard, the meter is configured
in °F. If °C is required, convert the display to °C.
Enter the calibration mode again and calibrate the selected channel for the required thermo-
couple type by applying a LOW and HIGH input signal in the relevant measurement system.

RTD Calibration
This is an initial RTD calibration mode using a type 385 RTD source as a reference and
is suitable for all RTD types. For increased accuracy, the manufacturer recommends that
further calibration using the two-point calibration procedure and inputing a LOW and HIGH
signal for the required RTD type should be carried out.
Before calibration, configure the meter for RTD type 385 for the required channel:
• For CH1 enter Code 2 and select [X21] or [X31].
Note: the second digit must be set to suit the RTD type:
– 3-wire = [X21].
– 2/4-wire = [X31].
• For CH2 enter Code 4 and select [21X].
• For CH3 enter Code 5 and select [X31].
• For CH4 enter Code 6 and select [X31].
If using input module models IT03 / IT04 / IT05 make sure the header is set to the correct position
for 3-wire or 2/4-wire applications.
Connect a temperature simulator using a connector of the required RTD type to the input
module terminal pins (normally pins 1 and 2, or 1 and 3).
See I-Series Input Module Supplement for connection details.
Enter the calibration mode. Setting the 1st and 2nd digits to [13X] selects the RTD calibra-
tion procedure.
By selecting a number in the 3rd digit one of the following signals can be calibrated:
• Result [130].
• Channel 1 [131].
• Channel 2 [132].
• Channel 3 [133].
• Channel 4 [134].
Carry out an initial calibration of the meter. The meter applies a 32 °F internal reference sig-
nal.
Enter the code for the selected channel and select the required RTD type. For example, a
type 120 3-wire RTD for CH1 would be set up as [X23] in Code 2.
Decide on the measurement system required: °F or °C. As standard, the meter is configured
in °F. If °C is required, convert the display to °C.
Enter the calibration mode again and calibrate the selected channel for the required RTD
type by applying a LOW and HIGH input signal in the relevant measurement system.

Analog Output Calibration & Scaling
Analog output calibration is a two part procedure covering scaling and calibration. The output
calibration part of the procedure can be changed independently of the scaling part and vice
versa.
Scaling
Scaling requires setting the zero [ZEro] and full scale [F_SCL] span parameters of the
analog output.
Zero is the display setting at which the analog output is required to be at its calibrated low
output. Full scale is the display setting at which the analog output is required to be at its
calibrated high output.
There are no limits to the difference between the zero and full scale settings. The difference
can be anywhere between 1 count and the entire display range of the meter.
Setting the 1st and 2nd digit to 25 [CAL] [25X] accesses the analog output signal span
scaling procedure.
By selecting a number in the 3rd digit, one of the following analog output signals are avail-
able for scaling:
• Analog Output 1 [251].
• Analog Output 2 [252] (under development).
Calibration
Calibrating the analog output means ensuring the LOW and HIGH analog output signals are
correct using a calibration device such as a multimeter.
Calibration requires setting the [CAL_L] and [CAL_h] parameters. [CAL_L] is used to set the
calibrated low analog output, and [CAL_h] is used to set the calibrated high analog output.
The calibrated low and high outputs can be set anywhere between –0.3 to 21 mA for current,
or –0.3 to 10.5 V for voltage.
Before calibrating the analog output:
• Select the data source for the selected analog output in Code 1.
• Set the ANALOG OUTPUT SELECTION HEADER to the appropriate position (VOLTAGE or
CURRENT).
• Connect a multimeter to the analog output connector at the rear of the meter (pin 16 positive,
pin 17 negative).
• Make sure the multimeter is set to read the appropriate signal type: volts or milliamps.
Enter the calibration mode and calibrate the analog output module.
Setting the 1st and 2nd digits to [15X] selects the analog output calibration procedure.
By selecting a number in the 3rd digit, one of the following analog output signals are avail-
able for calibration:
• Analog Output 1 [151].
• Analog Output 2 [152] (under development).
See Figure 11.

All other related calibration functions are accessed by setting the 1st digit in the calibration
mode to 2 [CAL] [2XX]:
• Serial Output Module Settings.
• Auto Zero Maintenance Settings.
• Totalizer Settings.
• 32-point Linearization Table Settings.
• Analog Output Scale Settings.
Serial Communications Properties
Setting the 2nd digit to 0 [CAL] [20X] accesses the serial communications output module com-
munications properties.
Baud Rate
The baud rate range is selectable from 300 to 19200. The default baud rate is 9600.
Parity
Parity can be set to [oFF], [odd], or [EVEn].The default parity setting is [oFF].
Address
For RS-485 serial communications the default address setting is 1, but can be set to any-
where between 1 and 255.
Transmit Time Delay
The transmit time delay restricts the meter from transmitting a reply to a slow or busy master
device (PC, PLC, etc.) by providing time delays of 2, 20, 50, or 100 milliseconds for all serial
modes except ASCII (Code 3 set to XX0). The ASCII Mode uses message terminating char-
acters: *= 2 ms and $= 50 ms.
See Calibration Mode Programming Codes on Page 5.
See Pages 39 and 40 for detailed procedures.
Auto Zero Maintenance Settings
Setting the 2nd digit to 1 [CAL] [21X] accesses the auto zero maintenance settings for weigh-
ing applications applied to the channel selected in the 3rd digit:
• Result [200].
• Channel 1 [201].
• Channel 2 [202].
• Channel 3 [203].
• Channel 4 [204].
There are three programmable auto zero maintenance settings:
• Auto Zero Capture Band [AZ_C].
• Auto Zero Motion [AZ_M].
• Auto Zero Aperture Window [AZ_A].

Auto Zero Capture Band
The auto zero capture band [AZ_C] is the programmable band in counts that the auto zero
motion compensates within. This is usually set to a value of, for example, 20 counts.
Slowly adding small weights to the load cell maintains zero until the AZ_C value is reached,
then the meter stops maintaining zero and the true weight is displayed.
Auto Zero Motion
Auto zero motion [AZ_M] is the programmable maximum rate of change in counts per second
allowable. This is usually set to a low value of, for example, 5 counts.
This means that if changes less than 5 counts per second are added to the meter, the meter
auto zeroes. But if 5 counts per second are exceeded, the meter stops auto zeroing and the
true weight is displayed.
Auto Zero Aperture Window
The auto zero aperture window [AZ_A] is the maximum counts that the zero output can drift
before the auto zero maintenance settings [AZ_C] and [AZ_M] cease to function (Note: the
industry standard is 1.9% of span).
The auto zero aperture window is programmed into the meter to control the maximum zero drift
of the load cell. This prevents the auto zero maintenance band from shifting the zero beyond
programmed limits and therefore exceeding the span range of the application beyond the linear
operating range of the load cell.
See Calibration Mode Programming Codes on Page 5.
See Pages 40 and 41 for detailed procedures.
Averaging Samples / Window Settings
Setting the 2nd digit to 2 [CAL] [22X] accesses windowed averaging. Windowed averaging
allows you to average a selected number of input signal samples within a selectable averag-
ing window in display counts applied to the channel selected in the 3rd digit. This allows you
the benefit of a stable signal, with fast response to change when required.
The number of input signal samples to average over is selected in the [AV_S] menu.The size
of the averaging window in input signal display counts is selected in the [AV_W] menu.
While the signal is being monitored by the controller, the averaging window tracks the input
signal, looks at the samples, and when it locates a group of samples within the size of the
window, averaging takes place. As each new sample comes into the controller, the last
sample in the group is dropped off. Provided the sample group remains within the averaging
window, the controller constantly averages the sample group.
If a sample moves out of the averaging window, the controller responds quickly to the change
by displaying the non-averaged signal value. When the signal stabilises, a new averaging
window is established around a sample group and averaging resumes.
The number of samples to average the input signal over can be programmed from 1 to 255
samples. The averaging window can be set to between 1 and 65535 counts.

Totalizer Settings
For the totalizer to perform the K factor calculations and provide a total, the following settings
must be programmed into the meter in the totalizer settings mode of the calibration mode.
To enter the totalizer settings mode, enter the calibration mode and select [23X].
Selecting 2in the 1st digit selects related calibration functions, selecting 3in the 2nd digit
selects the totalizer settings mode. Select 1in the 3rd digit to select totalizer 1 or 2to
select totalizer 2.
Entering the totalizer settings mode allows you to configure the following settings for the
selected totalizer:
• Input Rate.
• Running Time.
• Required Total.
• Cutoff.
• Rollover.
Input Rate
The input rate has a default setting of 10,000 counts. This can be adjusted to suit the known
input rate of an application.
So, using our 350 GPM flow rate example, to display in units of 1 gallon we can adjust the
input rate from 10,000 counts to 350 counts. Or, if we wanted to display the total in tenths of
a gallon, we can adjust the input rate to 3500 counts, making sure the totalizer resolution is
set for tenths (0.1). This gives us a display of 350.0 for 350 GPM.
Running Time
The running time is the period over which the input rate is accumulated in the totalizer. The
following running times are selectable in the meter:
Total Required
This is the total you wish to see after a selected running time.The unit input rate is normally
selected as the running time.
So once again, using our 350 GPM flow rate, the unit input rate is gallons per minute. This
means that when we set the required total, it is with the understanding that the total is
expressed as a unit of gallons per minute. For example:
If we wish to display 1 kilogallon for every 1,000 gallons totalled, we would set the
required total to 1.
But, if we wanted the totalizer to display to the nearest 100 gallons, we would have to
move the decimal point to add an extra unit. Therefore, instead of setting the required
total as 1, we would set it to 10. The 1,000 gallons would then display as 1.0 on the
totalizer as long as the input signal resolution is set to 0.1 (tenths).
Cutoff
This is normally set to 0 to prevent counts being subtracted from the total, but it can be set
anywhere from –19999 to 32767 counts, depending on the application.
Rollover
When set to ON, rollover automatically resets the total to 0 when the total value exceeds
the maximum count possible on the display (99,999 for 5-digit, 999,999 for 6-digit, and
99,999,999 for 8-digit meters). It resets the totalizer to 0, but does not increment any other
register to record the rollover.

32-point Linearization Table Settings
This is the mode for configuring all available linearization tables.
Setting the 2nd digit in the calibration mode to 4 [CAL] [24X] accesses the setup 32-point
linearization tables mode. Depending on the options selected during purchasing, the meter
has either 1 or 4 linearization tables available.
There are two modes available to configure the linearization tables: auto setup mode or
manual setup mode.
Auto Setup Mode
The auto setup mode allows a sensor output to be directly applied to the meter. The cor-
responding data is entered into the selected linearization table and stored in the meter.
Manual Setup Mode
The manual setup mode allows known or calculated values to be entered into a selected
linearization table and stored in the meter.
Initialize Mode
All four linearization tables are programmed into the meter at the factory with a default
straight line. Selecting the initialize mode [init] re-initializes a reconfigured linearization table
back to the default settings. Select the table to be re-initialized, adding the correct date and
serial number if applicable, and then press the PROGRAM button. Reset CAL to [000].
Linearization Table Identity
As a reference, the table number, the date, and a serial number can be entered before the
linearization points in either mode. See Figure 13.
Table Number
If the four table option was selected during purchasing, any table from 1 to 4 can be selected
for setup. Tables 1 to 4 are available for use with channel 1 and channel 2. Channels 3 and
4 use Table 1 only.
Date
A date displaying the year and week the linearization
table was set up can be added to each table.

Serial Number
A serial number using up to five digits from
0 to 65535 can be set for each table.
Applying a Selected Table to a Channel
Applying the linearization table or tables to a particular channel or the result is set up in one
of the following codes in the main programming mode:
• For CH1 select Code 3.
Selecting one of the following numbers in the 2nd digit of Code 3 applies the selected linear-
ization table to CH1:

Activation Procedure
The following example demonstrates the use of the on demand tare
mode using a basic tare application.
For Example:
Texmate installed a Tiger DI-50 320 Series meter connected to a
weighbridge. The meter is calibrated to read in the appropriate engi-
neering units and configured for the on demand tare mode.
The output from the weighbridge is fed to the meter. The meter is
configured to tare the weight of the empty truck on the weighbridge
before weighing the truck and its payload. The truck and its payload is
then weighed providing a payload weight only.
The weight of the empty truck is 17000 pounds. The nett weight of
the load is 8000 pounds. The gross weight of the truck and the load is
25000 pounds (25000 – 17000 = 8000).
