Startup and BasicOperation

Things discussed in Part B:

• What happens during thestartup procedure.

• Measuring signals and doingsome special measurements.

• Generating/simulating signals.• Step and Ramp functions.• Alarm limits.

Startup and Basic Operation

Starting CL560

Startup ProcedureWhen CL560 is started, a startup picture appears. After a self test,some basic information of the calibrator at hand appears in the lowerpart of the screen. If you want to view the calibrator information fora longer period, press the D/Wait function key. Then the calibratorinformation is visible until you press the D/Continue function key.

www.beamex.com

If a module’s version number cannot be seen, the module is notincluded in the CL560 at hand.

The calibration due date that is listed in the startup window is theearliest calibration due date for all connected modules. If the cali-brator requires recalibration, CL560 stops at the calibrator informa-tion window and the text “Calibrate Soon” appears below the cali-bration due date row.

35

Basic Mode, DefinedEvery time CL560 is switched on, the startup procedure ends inBasic Mode.

All non-calibration related measurements and generations are per-formed in the Basic Mode. Briefly: in Basic Mode CL560 works likea high quality multimeter. When returning from CL560’s higher leveloperations (calibration, viewing of calibration results, calibrator anduser configurations), you always return to the Basic Mode.

Where should I go today...

Basic Mode: Measurement Generation...

In Basic Mode, the two available measurement/ generation/simulation windows have default settings based either on factorysettings or settings defined when CL560 was previously used.

The first time the D/Menu key is pressed, the Window 1 Setupmenu is available. Other possible menus can be selected from thefunction keys: B/Window 2 Setup and C/Others. The latter functionkey opens a menu with some special functions and also includesthe possibility to go to higher level operations.

Example of a Basic Mode screenwith pressure measurement config-ured in Window 1 and current mea-surement configured in Window 2:

What can be done in Basic Mode

• Measure signals (*• Generate signals (*• Simulate signals (*• Start special measurement (min/max value etc.)• Perform a Limit Switch Test• Set alarm limits• Use the ramping function• Use the stepping function

*) Available options depend on the installed modules.

Measuring

All measurements in Basic Mode require that you first select theWindow to be used (Commands: Start with D/Menu and continueeither with A/Window 1 Setup or B/Window 2 Setup). Each mea-surement has its own unique 1/Quantity and 2/Function/Port set-tings in their window’s menu. The other window menu settings, e.g.measuring unit, refine the measurement characteristics.

When presenting measurements in this manual, the first paragraphtells the module (or modules) that is/are required for the measure-ment. Because of CL560’s modularity you may or may not have therequired module. If the module is not included in your CL560, the1/Quantity and 2/Function/Port settings needed for the measure-ment are not available as choices in the pop-up lists.

Each measurement also has at least one picture with a circle aroundsome of CL560’s terminals, like the one below.

The circle indicates active terminals for each 1/Quantity and2/Function/Port setting in the window menu.

If the picture has more than two terminals circled, then the lighterpart is somehow optional. In the following picture, the HART termi-nal is optional during current measurement.

Connecting and Removing External Pressure Modules

An external pressure module may be connected and removed atany time. If a removed module was part of an active measurement,CL560 automatically changes the measurement to a suitable inter-nal pressure module. CL560 also emits a “beep” to inform you ofthe fact that the external pressure module used for pressure mea-surement was disconnected.

Configuring a Supply Voltage or Current to the Pressure Sensor

To configure the pressuresensor supply setting, Openthe appropriate windowsetup menu (select D/Menu,A/Window 1 Setup orB/Window 2 Setup). Con-tinue to the third submenuby pressing the numericalkey twice. The adjacentpicture displays all thesubmenus available whenthe selected Quantity isPressure.

Select 2/Sensor Supply and choose either Current or Voltage sup-ply. A field for entering the supply Voltage/Current value appears inthe pressure measurement window.

Zeroing a Pressure Module

If the selected pressure module does not display zero gauge pres-sure when the applied pressure is zero, the module has to be ze-roed.

Open the appropriate window setup menu (D/Menu, A/Window 1Setup or B/Window 2 Setup) and select menu option7/Zero Pressure Module. If a secondary pressure module is ac-tive in the selected window, a pop-up menu will appear for choosingeither to zero the primary or the secondary pressure module.

NOTE!

Zeroing a pressure module is especially important when theoperating position of CL560 is changed or the location of CL560is changed in the vertical direction. Both of the above men-tioned factors affect notably on the pressure measurement mod-ules. Measuring pressure below 100 mbar (approx. 40 iwc)should be done with a firmly mounted CL560 (e.g. placed on atable top).

CL560 displays the measured low voltage in the selected window.

Hint!

Low voltage measurement can be used for non-standard thermo-couple measurement. You will see the measured temperature inmillivolts and need a table to convert the measured millivolt value tocorresponding temperature values. In this case, use copper exten-sion cords to connect the non-standard thermocouple to CL560’sterminals.

Limit Switch TestA limit switch test displays the opening and closing point of a limitswitch. CL560 supports limit switch testing of any type of limitswitches as long as CL560 is able to either measure or generate/simulate the switch’s input signal and is also capable of detectingthe switch state.

Notes.

Basic Mode’s limit switch test is a restricted version compared tothe limit switch test available in Calibration Mode. This test givesyou the approximates of the latest opening and closing points andalso the current switch status. The limit switch test in CalibrationMode offers more accurate results and additionally, statistical dataof repeated switch tests. More of the limit switch test in CalibrationMode in Part D of this manual.

In Basic Mode CL560 does not support limit switch testing whensimulating resistance or an RTD sensor. The limit switch test inCalibration Mode also supports resistance and RTD sensor input.

Performing the Limit Switch Test

Configure, e.g. Window 1 to either mea-sure or generate/simulate the switch’s in-put signal (Function keys D/Menu andA/Window 1 Setup in Basic Mode) andWindow 2 for switch state detection (Func-tion keys D/Menu and B/Window 2 Setupin Basic Mode). It doesn’t matter which win-dow is assigned for which function as longas both the switch’s input signal and theswitch state are available for CL560.

Slowly change the switch’s input signal andwatch how the “Opened @” and “Closed@” data is updated as the switch changesits state.

Special Measurements

Special measurements are extra utilities that can be activated toperform a special function alongside the normal measurement.

Only one of the special measurements may be activated at a giventime for each window/quantity. Activating another special measure-ment deactivates the earlier special measurement in the same win-dow (or the earlier special measurement using the same quantity).

All special measurements are started similarly:

• Select D/Menu followed by B/Window 2 Setup if needed.

• As the special measurement setting command is located inthe window setup’s submenu, select either the numerical key

or the cursor key to open the submenu.

• Then select 1/Special Measurements and the type of spe-cial measurement from the provided pop-up list (or deactivatea special measurement by selecting the option “None”).

Some of the special measurements do not require any additionalinformation. They start immediately after they are activated. Rateof Change Measurement, Special Filtering and Resolution,Redundant Measurement and Deviation Measurement do how-ever need some additional information. Therefore when you acti-vate them you will have to enter the required additional informationbefore the special measurement is started.

Notes.

Special measurements are only available in Basic Mode.

If you change any of the main settings of the measurement (Quan-tity, Funct/Port), the defined special measurement is deactivated.

To zero/restart a special measurement without altering any mainmeasurement settings, do the same menu commands you used forstarting the special measurement.

Generating/Simulating

GeneralThis chapter and the subchapters describe only how to generate/simulate signals using CL560’s own modules. Part C discusses theuse of external devices connected to the auxiliary interface.

CL560 is capable to perform the following generation/simulationfunctions:

• Voltage generation• Current generation• Frequency and pulse generation• Thermocouple simulation• RTD and resistance simulation

Generation/simulation in Basic Mode require that you first selectthe Window to be used (Commands: Start with D/Menu and con-tinue either with A/Window 1 Setup or B/Window 2 Setup). Eachgeneration/simulation has its own unique 1/Quantity and 2/Func-tion/Port settings in their window’s menu. The other window menusettings (generation/simulation unit etc.) refine the generation/simu-lation characteristics.

The presentation of each generation/simulation begins with a para-graph defining the modules that include terminals required for thegeneration/simulation (Most generated/simulated signals are donewith the ET module but current generation may also be done withthe E module). Because of CL560’s modularity you may or may nothave the required module. If the module is not included in yourCL560, the 1/Quantity and 2/Function/Port settings needed forthe generation/simulation are not available as choices in the pop-up lists.

Each generation/simulation also has at least one picture with a circlearound some of CL560’s terminals, like the one below.

The circle indicates active terminals for each 1/Quantity and2/Function/Port setting in the window menu.

Warnings!

When selecting a generation/simulation function, CL560 alwaysstarts with zero output (not when simulating a resistance). Thisis done to prevent damages in the connected instrument.

Be careful when increasing the generated/simulated signal. If aninstrument that cannot withstand the generated signal is con-nected to CL560, the instrument may get seriously damaged.

Changing the Value of the Generated/Simulated Signal

Move the field indicator on the display until it surrounds the value ofgenerated/simulated signal (use the B/Field Function Key or thecursor keys).

Enter the new value using the numeric keys. You may cancel theediting by pressing the A/Cancel Function Key. The C/çDeleteFunction Key removes the rightmost digit.

Accept the new value by pressing either the key or the D/OKFunction Key.

Note.

The dual function of the keys: , and is not available in ageneration field. The keys only represent numbers.

Fine Tuning the Generated/Simulated Signal

Press either of the left or right arrowkeys ( or ) to start the Fine Tun-ing of the selected numeric field.Then one of the digits in the num-ber in underlined indicating which digit can be fine tuned. If needed,press the left or right arrow buttons again to select another digit forFine Tuning.

To change the value of the undelined digit, use the up and downarrow keys ( ). The changes take effect immediately..

To end Fine Tuning, press either the key or the D/Close Func-tion Key. The C/Edit Function Key ends Fine Tuning and allows youto enter a number using the numeric keys.

Notes.

You cannot exceed the minimum/maximum limit of the quantity withthe Fine Tuning utility.

The fine tuned value follows the resolution properties of the gener-ated/simulated quantity.

Current GenerationCL560 can generate current both with the E and the ET module. Additionally the E modulecan be used both in source and sink mode.


Quantity CurrentFunct/Port ET: I(gen) or E: I(control)

Using the ET module’s outputterminals

When generating current from the ETmodule’s output terminals, select Funct/Port option ET: I(gen). The following pic-ture displays the active terminals:

Notes.

If you are simultaneously using the ET module’s output terminalsand some of the ET module’s measuring terminals, there is no gal-vanic isolation between the measuring circuit and the current gen-eration.

The voltage between the output connectors of the ET module islimited to ±15 Volts. There is no sinking possibility in the ET mod-ule.

Using the E module’s outputterminals

When generating current from the Emodule’s output terminals, you can eitheruse CL560’s internal 24V supply (sourcemode) or use an external supply and letCL560 control the current (sink mode).

Note.

The output current of the E module is a “pure” analog signal withoutany embedded HART signal.

Notes applying to both the ET: I(gen) and the E: I(control) ports:

Check the polarity of your connections. The arrows in the previouspictures describe the correct flow of current.

If the loop resistance of the external circuit is too high or infinite, themessage “O.LOAD” is displayed until the load is reasonable.

Warnings!

Make sure that you don’t exceed the maximum current allowedby the instrument under test.

If you open the mA generation loop, CL560 tries to maintain thecurrent by increasing the output voltage. If you then close theloop again, the current is first too high, but returns quickly tothe correct level. If this current peak could damage the compo-nents of the loop, make sure that the loop will not open or pro-tect it against overcurrent. For the same reason, always enter0 mA output before connecting the loop.

Voltage GenerationThe ET module has terminals for voltage generation within ±12 V range and terminals forlow voltage sensor simulation with the range ±500 mV. The low voltage terminals arealso used when measuring/simulating thermocouples using an external Reference Junc-tion.


Quantity VoltageFunct/Port ET: V(gen) or ET: LowV(sim)

Generating Voltages up to ±12 V

Select Function/port ET: V(gen) andchoose a suitable unit.

CL560 displays both the set value and theinternally measured value for the generatedvoltage in the selected window. Max. out-put current depends on the voltage levelas follows: 10 mA if the Voltage is within±10 V or 3 mA if the Voltage is outside of±10 V.

Low Voltage Generation

Select Function/port ET: LowV(sim) andchoose a suitable unit. The max. outputcurrent is 5 mA.

CL560 displays both the set value and theinternally measured value for the generatedvoltage in the selected window.

Note.

If the resistance of the external circuit in voltage generation is verylow (obvious short circuit), the message “O.LOAD” is displayed untilthe load is reasonable.

Hint!

Low voltage generation can be used when calibrating instrumentswith millivolt input. You can use it also to simulate special thermo-couples not defined in CL560. If you simulate a thermocouple inmillivolt mode, you must convert from temperature to millivolts manu-ally.

Warning!

If you short circuit the voltage output, CL560 tries to maintainthe voltage by increasing the output current. If you then removethe short circuit, the voltage is first too high, but returns quicklyto the correct level. If this voltage peak could damage the com-ponents of the circuit, make sure that the circuit can not beshorted or protect the circuit against overvoltage. For the samereason, always enter 0 V output before connecting the circuit.

RTD and Resistance SimulationCL560 mimics the RTD or the resistor to be measured by the instrument under test. Theinstrument under test generates the current for the resistance measurement. CL560 con-trols the voltage across its terminals so that the resistance (voltage to current ratio) cor-responds to the simulated temperature or resistance. CL560 can simulate resistancebetween 1 to 4000 ohm.

RTD and resistance simulation terminals are located in the ET module.


Quantity RTD-Temp. (for RTD simulation)Resistance (for resistance simulation)

Funct/Port ET: RTD(sim) (for RTD simulation)ET: R(sim) (for resistance simulation)

Sensor Type Available RTD sensors. Only neededwhen doing RTD simulation.

The correct resistance value is between theresistance simulation terminals of the cali-brator. Use of 2-, 3- or 4-wire connection isup to the receiver instrument. Use only thetwo leftmost R, RTD terminals with everywiring option. Connect the possible thirdand fourth wire according to the require-ments of the connected instrument, but useonly the two leftmost R, RTD terminals.

Notes.

In RTD and resistance simulation CL560monitors the resistance measurement cur-rent. If the current is too high, it cannotsimulate the right resistance value. In thatcase it shows the message “H.CURR”. Re-spectively, if the measurement current isso low that it may affect the accuracy, themessage “L.CURR” is displayed.

Accurate operation of the simulation elec-tronics requires that the current suppliedby the instrument under test does not varyrapidly. The simulation result is not accu-rate if the instrument under test uses ACcurrent. If the instrument under test usespulsed measurement current it should waita few milliseconds before starting the mea-surement after setting the current.

Thermocouple SimulationCL560 is able to mimic a thermocouple at given temperatures. This property is calledthermocouple simulation. It enables checking and calibration of temperature indicators,recorders, transmitters and other equipment related to temperature measurement with athermocouple probe.

In thermocouple simulation the original thermocouple is disconnected from the instru-ment under test and replaced with CL560. To the instrument under test CL560 appearsas a thermocouple at the given temperature.

Thermocouple simulation terminals are located in the ET module.


Quantity T/C-TempFunct/Port ET: TCi(sim) (for the internal Reference Junction), or

ET: TCx(sim) (for other RJ compensation methods)Sensor Type Available thermocouple typesReference Junction Depends on the Function/Port setting.

See subsequent chapters.


CL560’s Internal Reference Junction Mod-ule is an optional module. To use the Inter-nal Reference Junction, select Function/Port ET: TCi(sim). The Reference Junctioncompensation method Internal is auto-matically selected.


To use an External Reference Junction,select Function/Port ET: TCx(sim) andchoose one of the available ReferenceJunction compensation methods: Entered,0°C or available RTD sensors.

Notes.

If the resistance of the external circuit in thermocouple simulation isvery low (obvious short circuit), the message “O.LOAD” is displayeduntil the load is reasonable.

Check that the instrument under test is set for the same thermo-couple type as selected in CL560. If the type is not one of the avail-able types, you should simulate in millivolt mode and convert fromtemperature to millivolts manually. More information concerningmillivolt generation is in chapter Voltage Generation on page 62.

Wire-wound thermocouple temperature indicators and record-ers are calibrated with known loop resistance, commonly ten ortwenty ohms. The required resistance of the conductors is usuallymarked on the device. When calibrating such a device, tune theloop resistance to the nominal value with an additional resistor.

Use CL560’s 2-wire resistance measurement to tune the loop re-sistance of a wire wound device. Short circuit the measuring devicefor the time of resistance measurement. The resistance measure-ment may damage the device, if you do not install the short circuit.For more information on resistance measurement, see chapterResistance Measurement on page 44.

Warning!

If you short circuit the thermocouple simulation output, CL560tries to maintain the voltage by increasing the output current.If you then open the output again, the voltage is first too high,but returns quickly to the correct level. If this voltage peak coulddamage the components of the circuit, make sure that the cir-cuit can not be shorted or protect the circuit against overvolt-age. For the same reason, always enter 0°C output before con-necting the circuit.

If you connect an RTD sensor to the ET module’s R, RTD con-nectors, there is no galvanic isolation between the thermo-couple and the RTD sensor.

Special Generations

Manual change of generated signals is sometimes a restriction.Therefore CL560 includes Stepping and Ramping as standard utili-ties for creating automatically alternating output signals (specialgenerations).

To be able to start the definition of a special generation, a suitablegeneration/simulation field has to be active in the Basic Mode Win-dow. If a generation/simulation is not started, select D/Menu andeither A/Window 1 Setup or B/Window 2 Setup to configure ageneration/simulation. For more information on how to configure ageneration/simulation, see chapter Generating/Simulating on page58 and its subchapters.

Notes.

Only one of the special generations may be active at a given time.

Special generations are available only in Basic Mode.

Stepping

Configure the Stepping settings accordingto your needs. The following pictures areexamples of stepping configurations. Thegraph below the configuration window dis-plays the result of the settings.

Note that because of the Starting pointsetting, the first repeat of the leftmost ex-ample is limited to a small starting step andonly two full steps. Generally: if the step-ping settings limit the first repeat to only afraction of a full repeat it is still calculatedas one repeat.

You may enter either the Step Size or theNumber of Steps. Because these valuesdepend on each other, the value of the otherfield is calculated whenever you make anychanges. Also, you can only enter an inte-ger as the Number of Steps value. If you

enter a step size that results in a non-inte-ger value for the Number of Steps field,CL560 displays a dashed line instead of avalue for the Number of Steps field. Thisindicates that the size of the step thatreaches the 100 % range limit is smallerthan the defined step size. See therightmost example.

To stop stepping press the function keyC/Stop Stepping. This applies for both acontinuous stepping (Repeats field set tozero) and a stepping with a predeterminedamount of repeats (max. value 65535).

Start the Error Display Mode as described in chapter Display ModeSettings on page 80. Enter the Measured Range for both the in-put and the output signal, the Error Calculation Method and theTransfer Function (input/output correlation).

The true output value is displayed in the Extra Info row.

Note.

The Error Display Mode is only available for a Basic Mode windowset for measuring a quantity.

Transmitter/Switch SimulationCL560’s Basic Mode includes apossibility to simulate a transmit-ter and a switch. To start a Trans-mitter or as Switch simulation, con-figure Window 1 to measure a sig-nal (transmitter input) and and Win-dow 2 to either generate or simu-late a signal (transmitter output),then select D/Menu, C/Others and6/Transmitter/Switch Simula-tion. A pop-up list appears whereyou can select whether you wantto simulate a transmitter or aswitch.

Note.

To be able to start the Transmitter/Switch Simulation, both Ba-sic Mode windows need to be configured accordingly. If, e.g.window 2 is not assigned for generating/simulating a signal,CL560 can not start transmitter simulation.

Data Logging

General

The Data Logging utility is a firmware option that allows you to col-lect data using CL560. The collected data may then be viewed,transferred to a personal computer (PC) and printed using a utilityshipped together with CL560 if the Data Logging option is purchased.

The maximum amount of measuring channels can be up to seven(valid only if your CL560 includes a sufficient amount of measuringmodules/ports).

Data Logging may be configured to collect data using different trig-gers and saving methods as described further on.

Configuring

To start configuring the Data Log-ging (starting from Basic Mode),press

D/Menu,C/Others,5/Data Logging.

The upper part of the Data Loggingconfiguration window is reservedfor seven measurement channelsand the lower part for general set-tings. The following subchaptersdescribe how they are configured.

Assigning Measurement Ports to Channels

Move the cursor to one of the meas-urement channel rows in the DataLogging configuration window.Press C/Edit to open the followingchannel settings window: Select themeasurement port first. The othersettings depend on the port setting.

Generating Signals Using External DevicesTo be able to utilize devices connected to the auxiliary instrumentinterface (AUX) you need to have the required firmware option. Thefollowing paragraph explains how to activate CL560 to use a con-nected external device. The instructions are also valid when theconnected device is changed.

To select an external device, open either Window 1 or Window 2setup menu (select D/Menu and either A/Window 1 Setup orB/Window 2 Setup in Basic Mode). Make sure the quantity settingof the window corresponds to the external device’s quantity require-ments. Continue to the third submenu by pressing the numericalkey twice. The following picture displays all the submenus avail-able when the selected Quantity is Pressure.

Pressure Controller Settings

The following pressure controllers were supported when this UserGuide was written:

• Beamex POC4 and • Druck DPI510 equipped with the RS232 communication op-

tion (only gauge pressure type models). • Druck DPI 515

The following settings apply in general to all supported pressurecontrollers. If certain controllers have device specific data, it is men-tioned in the general description.

Control Mode

Possible settings: Shut Off and Continu-ous.

Shut Off means that the Pressure Control-ler shuts down after the desired pressurelevel is reached. When Continuous is se-lected, the Pressure Controller is active allthe time. Even after the setpoint value isreached.

The first method is to be preferred becauseit minimizes the amount of disturbances inthe system, provided there are no notablepressure leaks in the system.

Notes.

Although the pressure controller does measure the generated pres-sure, it is not passed on to CL560 in CL560’s Basic Mode. There-fore you should always connect the generated pressure also to apressure measurement module in CL560.

When a controller is used in Calibration Mode, Input Mode “Con-trol” is used when the instrument’s input signal is measured withCL560 and Input Mode “Ctrl/Mea” when the controller communi-cates the generated pressure to CL560.

Zero the pressure controller using its own user interface or pro-gram it to zero itself every time it generates zero pressure.

Device Address

Device address is needed if the PressureController is in addressed mode. Ad-dressed mode also allows daisy-chain con-necting several Pressure Controllers.

Serial communication settings

The communication settings shown in thewindow are the ones required by CL560.The settings vary depending on the con-nected pressure controller (usually the de-fault communication settings of the pres-sure controller). If the settings have beenchanged afterwards, refer to the pressurecontroller’s manual on how to change thecommunication settings.

Temperature Controller Settings

The following temperature controller manufacturers have modelsthat communicate with CL560 (the list was valid when this UserGuide was written):

• TekKnow, • Isotech,• Ametek/Jofra SE, ATC, CTC and ITC models and • HART Scientific, most Industrial Models.

When in doubt whether your controller type or model communi-cates with CL560, contact Omega’s support.

The following settings apply in general to all supported temperaturecontrollers. If certain controllers have device specific data, it is men-tioned in the general description.

Device AddressThe Device Address of TekKnow TC1200and Isotech is either 1 or 2, depending onthe device configuration.

The Device Address field is not visible fortemperature controllers that do not needthe setting.

Serial communication settingsThe communication settings shown in thewindow are the ones required by CL560.The settings vary depending on the con-nected temperature controller (usually thedefault communication settings of the tem-perature controller). If the settings havebeen changed afterwards, refer to the tem-perature controller’s manual on how tochange the communication settings.

Note.

Although the temperature controller does measure the tempera-ture of the bath/dry block it is not passed on to CL560 in CL560’sBasic Mode. Therefore it may be of use to also connect a tempera-ture sensor to a suitable port in CL560.

When a controller is used in Calibration Mode, Input Mode “Con-trol” is used when the instrument’s input signal is measured withCL560 and Input Mode “Ctrl/Mea” when the controller communi-cates the temperature to CL560.

93

PrintingWhen using the optional printer you may print out screenshots ofany user interface screen (e.g. calibrations results) in CL560.

You can print the screenshot by pressing the key and the key simultaneously. CL560 responds with a long beep to indicatethat the screen is dumped to the printer.

The printer can not be used at the same time as CL560 is con-nected to a computer because the printer and the computer usesthe same interface (the COMP/PRT connector).

Notes.

If you press the and keys and no printer is connected, theserial port is unavailable for PC communication for about a minute.

The printer is configured for communication with CL560 when de-livered. If you inadvertently alter the configuration, please contactOmega for instructions on how to restore the settings.

Warning!

Only use the printer provided by Omega. Using any other print-ers may damage the printer or CL560 or even both of them.

Use only cables provided by Omega when connecting CL560to a PC or a printer.

Additional Information

Most of the measurements, generations and simulations presentedin this manual are straight forward: Just make the required windowsettings and connect the instrument under test in the active termi-nals and that’s it!

Some cases require additional settings and things to check beforeyou can be certain that the measurement, generation or simulationworks as expected. A typical example of this is temperature mea-surement using a thermocouple. It is not enough to select the cor-rect quantity and port in CL560. The Sensor type and the Refer-ence Junction Mode has to be set accordingly, too. Wrong settingsgive erroneous results.

Whenever this additional information may be of use in a measure-ment, generation or simulation, text describing the function refersto one of the following chapters. An experienced user need not jumpto read this supplemental text, but for a beginner we highly recom-mend it.

The main subjects described here are:

Things to Consider when Measuring Pressure on page 95,Thermocouple Measurement/Simulation, Connections andTroubleshooting on page 97,Resistance and RTD Measurement, Connections on page 101Current Measurement Parallel to a Test Diode, Connectionson page 103 andParallel Functions in CL560 on page 104.

Things to Consider when Measuring Pressure

General

CL560 can measure pressure with its internal pressure modules, orwith external pressure modules. If a barometric module is present,the measurement results of other modules can be shown either asabsolute pressure or as gauge pressure.

Pressure Type

Every pressure measurement is in fact a pressure difference mea-surement: a given pressure value is compared against a referencepressure. In certain cases the reference pressure has a specialmeaning (like the atmospheric pressure) and the pressure mea-surements with reference to against these points are given a spe-cial name:

• Absolute pressure measurement uses vacuum as the refer-ence pressure.

• Barometric pressure (or atmospheric pressure) is the ab-solute pressure of the surrounding atmosphere. It is speciallytitled because of its importance.

• Gauge pressure measurement uses the atmospheric pres-sure as the reference. Gauge pressure may be zero, negativeor positive. Most of CL560’s pressure modules actually mea-sure gauge pressure although they may be used for measur-ing other pressure types too.

• Differential pressure measurement requires a special dif-ferential pressure module that has an input available for boththe reference pressure and the given pressure.

To be able to measure absolute pressure with CL560’s gauge pres-sure modules, you need a barometric pressure module. Certainhigh pressure modules may approximate absolute pressure mea-surement by adding an entered barometric pressure to the mea-sured gauge pressure.

CL560 may use two standard pressure modules to measure differ-ential pressure: One module measures the reference pressure andanother the given pressure. The pressure difference is calculatedby subtracting the reference pressure from the given pressure. Moreof this in Part B, chapter Special Measurements.

Always ensure that the pressure type setting of your pressuremeasurement is what you intended it to be. The pressure typesetting is crucial for getting meaningful pressure measurementresults.


96


Pressure Modules and their Naming Conventions

CL560’s software refer to pressure modules as follows:Port: Module Name, e.g. P1: INT400m

which means that there is an internal pressure module in port P1with a 0 to 400 mbar (0 to 6 psi) pressure range.

The names of internal pressure modules start with the letters INT.The names also include numbers and possible additional letters asfollows:

1. The number defines the max. nominal pressure in the SI pres-sure unit bar.

2. If the number is followed by a small “m”, the given max. nomi-nal pressure is given in mbar.

3. If there is an additional letter C, the pressure module is a com-pound module with an ability to also measure negative gaugepressures.

Examples: Name Max. nominal pressure in psi

INT100m 100 mbar 1.5INT400mC ± 400 mbar ± 6INT2C -1 … 2 bar -14.5 … 30

Notes.

Compound modules with a max. nominal pressure above 1 bar (e.g.INT2C) are able to measure negative pressures down to -1 bar.Compound modules with a max. nominal pressure below 1 bar (e.g.INT400mC) are only able to measure as deep negative pressuresas positive pressures.

The name of the internal barometric pressure module is B.

Eternal pressure modules have a name that starts with the lettersEXT. The name includes numbers and possibly an additional lettersimilar to internal modules (does not apply to old XPMs).

Square Rooting

Pressure transmitters or converters used for flow measurement of-ten have square rooting character. To enable correct percentageerror calculation of square rooting transmitters, select “square root-ing” as the Transfer Function.

Square rooting is required when entering instrument data for a pres-sure instrument (see Part D, Calibration). Standard pressure mea-surement in Basic Mode does not require any Transfer Functioninformation.

97

Thermocouple Measurement/Simulation, Connections andTroubleshooting

To accurately measure the thermovoltage caused by the tempera-ture to be measured, the second thermovoltage caused by the Ref-erence Junction needs to be compensated. This is done using oneof the Reference Junction compensation methods described in thesubsequent chapters.

The Reference Junction compensation method has to be chosenboth when measuring and simulating thermocouples.


CL560’s Internal Reference Junction Mod-ule is an optional module. To be able to uti-lize Internal Reference Junction compen-sation this optional module has to be in-stalled into your CL560. If the measuring/simulating port is set to the Internal Refer-ence Junction Module (ET: TCi(mea) orET: TCi(sim)), CL560 automatically selectsthe Internal Reference Junction compen-sation method. No other Reference Junc-tion compensation methods are availableunless the measuring/simulating port ischanged.

Connection when measuring/simulatingthermovoltage using Internal ReferenceJunction Mode:

Note.

The range of the Internal Reference Junction’s temperature com-pensation is -10 … +50°C (14 … 122 °F).

When using an external Reference Junction, CL560 measures or simulates thethermovoltage using the “T/C Low V” terminals in the ET section. If the measuring/simu-lating port is set to the External Reference Junction (ET: TCx(mea) or ET: TCx(sim)),the following Reference Junction compensation methods are available:

0°C:To be used when:• The Reference Junction temperature is

fixed to 0°C (using, e.g. ice) and CL560is not used for measuring the ReferenceJunction temperature.

• The Reference Junction temperature iscontrolled with 0°C set point.

• A compensation box is used and theReference Junction temperature settingis 0°C.

• There is no Reference Junction compen-sation in the measuring/simulation cir-cuit but 0°C is a good enough approxi-mation.

Entered:To be used when:• The Reference Junction temperature is

fixed to a temperature that differs from0°C.

• The Reference Junction temperature iscontrolled and the controller’s set pointis not 0°C. Note: this method is of useonly if the accuracy of the controller isbetter than CL560’s own ReferenceJunction Module.

• A compensation box is used and theReference Junction temperature settingis other than 0°C.

• There is no Reference Junction compen-sation in the measuring/simulation cir-cuit, but you want to manually enter an-other Reference Junction temperaturethan 0°C.

Warning!

If you connect an RTD sensor to the ETmodule’s R, RTD connectors, there is nogalvanic isolation between the thermo-couple and the RTD sensor.

PROBLEM CAUSE

CL560 (or the instrumentunder test whensimulatingthermovoltages)measures thetemperature/millivoltsignal, but the displayedtemperature reading is allwrong.(The error may vary from0 to about ±50°Cdepending on the type ofthe error)

• The thermocouple type selected inCL560 does not correspond with theused thermocouple.

• The selected Reference Junctionmode is not in accordance with theused wiring.

• Extension or compensation cable typeor connections are incorrect.

• The polarity of the cables areincorrect.

CL560 (or the instrumentunder test) displaysrandom readings duringthermocouplemeasurement.

• Incorrect connections.• The wiring is broken.• Interference from a mobile phone or a

radio transmitter affects themeasurement.

CL560 displays unstablereadings duringthermocouple simulation.

• The instrument under calibration usesvoltage pulses to detect open sensor.When CL560 detects these pulses, ittries to compensate for them, whichcauses the unstable output. Preventthese pulses for the time ofcalibration. Refer to the servicemanual of the instrument undercalibration on how to prevent theseopen sensor detection pulses.

Error situations

The easiest way to avoid errors in thermocouple measurement andsimulation is to check carefully the used wiring and the ReferenceJunction mode. The following table describes the typical error situ-ations and possible causes/corrections when working with thermo-couples:

101

Resistance and RTD Measurement, ConnectionsThe two main problems in resistance and RTD measurement arethe effects of wiring resistances and thermovoltages in the resis-tance measurement circuit. If possible, use 4-wire connection toeliminate the effect of wiring resistance. The special resistance mea-surement sequence of CL560 eliminates the thermovoltages of theresistance measurement circuit.

CL560 continuously checks the connection type during resistanceand RTD measurement. The found connection type is displayed onthe resistance or RTD measurement window.

3-wire System

CL560 sources current through the resis-tor from the two left side terminals. CL560measures the voltage drop across the en-tire current loop and across the low sideconnection wire. If both left side connec-tion wires are identical, CL560 can com-pensate for the resistance of the connec-tion wires.

4-wire System

CL560 sources current through the resis-tor from the two left side terminals. CL560measures the voltage drop across the re-sistor from the two right side terminals. The4-wire method gives the resistance be-tween the terminals of the resistor, it is in-sensitive to the resistance of the connec-tion wires.

Using a Compensation Loop

CL560 sources current through the resis-tor and the compensation loop from the twoleft side terminals. CL560 measures thevoltage drop across the entire current loopand across the compensation loop. If thecompensation loop and the connectionwires of the resistor are identical, CL560can compensate for the resistance of theconnection wires.

When the compensation loop wiring sys-tem is used, CL560 displays the text “3-wire”.

Parallel Functions in CL560This chapter explains what kind of simultaneous tasks you can dowith CL560.

Every module in CL560may simultaneouslyhave their own tasks.Also every availableoutput connector (ENV,AUX and COM/PRT)may have their own in-dependent tasks.

The ET module has adouble action ability: When one of the sensor measure & generatesection terminals (T/C INT RJ, T/C Low V, or R,RTD terminals) isused for measuring purposes. Then an electrical output signal maybe generated from the ET module’s output terminals. This feature isnot available when generating a signal from the sensor measure &generate section terminals.

The ET module is also capable of doing the following double tasks:

• Measuring Low Voltages or thermocouples (connected to anyterminal used when measuring thermocouples) and at the sametime either measuring or simulating an RTD with the RTD sen-sor terminals.

• Generating Low voltages or simulating a thermocouple (con-nected to any terminal used when simulating thermocouples)and at the same time measuring with the RTD sensor termi-nals.

Warning!

There is no galvanic isolation between the ET module’s mea-suring terminals and generating terminals.

Calibration

Things discussed in Part D:

• General presentation of whatcalibration is and the phasesof a typical calibration proce-dure.

• A description of a calibrationprocedure using CL560.

• Some application examples onhow to perform the calibrationof certain instruments.

• Creating, editing and deletingInstruments.

• Viewing calibration results.

Calibration

General

CL560 is a stand-alone calibrator as well as a calibrator communi-cating with calibration software.

CL560 supports stand-alone calibration and off-line calibration.The following list briefly describes these methods:

• In stand-alone calibration, all instrument and calibration resultdata is stored in CL560’s memory. No external calibration da-tabase is used.

• In off-line calibration (sometimes also called batch calibration),the instrument data is downloaded from a calibration software.The calibration is done just as in stand-alone calibration, butcalibration procedures are downloaded from a software andthe saved results are uploaded to the calibration software.

107

Phases of Instrument Calibration

The picture gives a general view of the phases in a calibrationprocedure. CL560 supports three separate guide texts (whiteblocks in the picture):

One is displayed when starting the calibration.Another when the adjustment utility is started.The third text is displayed when ending the calibration.

The guide texts may be entered in CL560 or they may be down-loaded from a PC with a calibration software.

Calibration

As Found Calibration

The As Found calibration documents the state of the instrumentbefore carrying out any adjustments. The calibration states theamount of drift in the instrument during the calibration period.

CL560 supports multiple As Found tests. There is no fixed upperlimit for the number of repeats except the available free memory.

CL560 does not require you to save any As Found calibrations. Ifyou do not want to save information of the instrument’s state beforeadjustment, just do the adjustments needed and perform as manyAs Left calibrations as is needed.

Adjustment

CL560 calculates (among other figures) the maximum error foundduring the calibration. Depending on the value of the maximum er-ror, you decide whether you adjust the instrument or not. CL560supports four different error limit settings:

Reject if > acceptance limit for found maximum error,Adjust if > the instrument need to be adjusted if this

limit is exceeded,Do not adjust if < adjusting the instrument is not

necessary / of use andAdjust to < after adjusting, the maximum error should

not exceed this limit.

CL560 has a special adjustment utility tool that can be used whenthe input signal of the instrument is generated/simulated with CL560.See chapter CL560’s Support for Instrument Adjustment on page127. We recommend you use the utility whenever possible. In allother situations, use the error graph and its error value to have aview on how the adjustment affects the accuracy of the instrumentand how close the output signal is from the target value.

Use the instrument’s ZERO adjustment at lower end of the range.Adjust the higher end of the range with the instrument’s SPAN ad-justment. The two adjustment points do not necessarily need to bethe end points of the instrument range. You may want to use other

points to optimize the calibration at the most important part of therange. Note, however, that if the points are very close to each other,the error at other points of the range may be quite big (see As LeftCalibration on page 109).

As Left Calibration

Multiple As Left calibrations are allowed just as they are for As Foundcalibrations. The As Left calibrations document the state of the in-strument after the possible adjustment.

CL560 does not require you to save any As Left calibrations. If theAs Found calibration proves to be good and no adjustment isneeded, you may omit the As Left calibrations.

The pictures above display different As Left calibration graphs aftertwo different kinds of adjustments.

In the leftmost picture, the error is minimized at the end points of theinstrument range. This results in a relatively notable error in themiddle of the span. If the middle of the span is the area, where themeasurement is usually situated, then this method is not recom-mended.

The rightmost picture displays the error graph when the maximumerror is minimized by “lowering the graph”. As a result, the errorminimum is at approx. 30 % and 70 % of the span.

Note that these adjustment strategies are just examples. There isan unlimited amount of “correct” ways to adjust an instrument.

Calibration

Required Modules for Different Input/Output Signal CombinationsConsider the type of your instrument before doing a calibration:

• What are the input and output quantities/ports?• Is the input signal measured, generated/simulated, controlled

or keyed (Input method)?• Is the output signal measured or keyed (Output method)?

Use the following tables find out the required modules for each sup-ported input/output quantity and method:

The general principle is: The same module may not be used forboth the input and the output signal. There are however some ex-ceptions to that rule:

• If the input signal is a current signal measured or generatedusing the E module, then any quantity with the output methodHART may also be connected to the E module.

• If when checking the required modules both the input and theoutput module is ET, but the cells are grayed, check the tablebelow. It presents all supported combinations where both theinput signal and the output signal is connected to the ET mod-ule.

Each row is a supported combination.

Calibration

A Calibration Procedure Using CL560The Calibration Windows:

A typical calibration procedure using CL560 is as follows:

We assume you have already selected the instrument to becalibrated and are viewing/editing the selected instrument’s datapages. See Selecting the Instrument to Be Calibrated on page112 for information on how to enter Calibration Mode and se-lecting instruments for calibration.

1. Make the required connections and test them by altering theinput signal in with the Instrument Adjustment utility (if youhaven’t done the connections and testing in Basic Mode).

2. Start the calibration run by pressing B/Start. The way CL560passes through all calibration points depends on the Calibra-tion Method setting:In Automatic calibration CL560 generates/simulates (or com-municates with an external device capable of generating/simu-lating) the input signal. See chapters

About Automatic Calibration on page 116 andAbout Manual Calibration on page 116.

Note.

You can pause a calibration run whenever you want bypressing the A/Stop Function Key. Then you are providedwith the following (self-explanatory) choices:

Note.

If the maximum error of thecalibration results exceed theAdjust if > error limit, a mes-sage window with the follow-ing text:

”The calibrated instrumentneed to be adjusted.”

4. Enter the environmental dataand save the results using oneof the options provided in theFunction Keys B to D.

Note.

Some of the temperature datamay be pre-entered by CL560,provided the data is availablefor CL560 (pressure modules,the E module, the ET moduleor the optional ENV sensorwas used during the calibra-tion).

5. Continue either with anothercalibration run or end the calibration procedure. In the lattercase you will see the possible Finishing Guide text beforeyou are back viewing the Instrument Data.

Note.

If you are calibrating instruments using off-line method then pleasekeep in mind this: When you upload the results from CL560 to thecalibration software, the results are by default also left in CL560’smemory. To free memory in CL560 by deleting the results, see De-leting Instruments on page 132.

Calibration

About Automatic Calibration

Automatic calibration is possible when CL560 is able to generate/simulate the input signal. Another way to automate the calibrationis allowing CL560 to control a connected external device capableof generating/simulating the input signal, e.g. a POC4 Pressure Out-put Controller connected to CL560.

Automatic calibration is selected in the Calibration Method fieldon the Instrument Data pages. More information on editing instru-ment data is in chapter Editing Instrument Data on page 129.

In Automatic calibration CL560 generates/simulates (or commu-nicates with an external device capable of generating/simulating)the input signal. When the input signal is within the Maximum Al-lowed Calibration Point Deviation limits, CL560 waits for the out-put signal to stabilize (the Setpoint Delay setting). Then the cali-bration point is accepted automatically and CL560 continues withthe next calibration point.

If the input signal never stabilizes (the symbol is visible con-tinuously), but you want CL560 to save the results anyhow, pressthe B/Force Accept Function Key.

About Manual Calibration

In manual calibration, you will have to manually set the input signalto a level that the next calibration point requires. Manual calibrationis possible in almost all situations. Even for calibrations that couldbe done automatically.

If the input signal is measured, the input signal window displays a“Desired Input Value X.xxxx” text to help you remember what isthe next target value.

If the input signal is generated/simulated, CL560 automaticallychanges the input signal to the next target value, but does not con-tinue until you manually accept the point.

Use the B/Accept Readings Function Key to save the point dataand continue to the next point until all points are accepted.

Notes.

If the calibration points are defined for the output signal, set theinput signal to such a level that the instrument to be calibrated cre-ates the required output signal.

See also Autocapture Feature on next page

117

Autocapture Feature

The Autocapture Feature makes it possible to make a manual cali-bration that is semi-automatic when the input signal in measured.To be able to utilize the Autocapture Feature the instrument datahas to be set as follows:

• Input Method field set to “Measured”,• Calibration Method field set to “Automatic” and• Maximum Allowed Calibration Point Deviation field set to

greater than zero.

Then CL560 tracks the input signal and once the input signal isinside the Maximum Allowed Calibration Point Deviation limitfor a time period defined in the Setpoint Delay, the input and out-put values are automatically saved.

Activate the Autocapture Feature from the menu available whenviewing the calibration windows. When activated and a calibrationpoint is about to be captured (CL560 is waiting for the SetpointDelay time to pass while the measurements are stable enough andwithin the Maximum Allowed Calibration Point Deviation limit),an hourglass is shown in the input measurement window’s lowerright corner.

When autocapture “snatches” the input and output signal values,CL560 emits a beep and the next target value for the input is dis-played.

Examples of Instrument CalibrationThis User Guide has only a few examples of how to calibrate aninstrument. Many calibration procedures not presented here areeither very similar to the ones presented in the following chaptersor they can be “combined”, e.g. the calibration of a Pressure Indi-cator/Recorder is partly done as a Pressure Transmitter and partlyas a Temperature Indicator/Recorder calibration.

Use the information presented in Part B of this manual when con-necting/calibrating instruments that do not have a separate calibra-tion procedure presented in this part.

The following calibration examples are presented in this manual:

Pressure Transmitters on page 118,Temperature Sensors on page 120,Temperature Indicators and Recorders on page 122 andElectrical Limit Switches on page 124.

Calibration

Pressure Transmitters and Sensors

This procedure suits all instruments with a pressure input and anykind of electrical output signal. Both the input and output signalrange should be measurable with CL560. To be able to perform anautomatic calibration, CL560 needs to have the firmware optionneeded to communicate with the pressure controller.

Required modules• An internal or external pressure module.• The E module for measuring the electrical output signal.

Preparations

1. Connect the input signal of the instru-ment to the pre-selected pressure mod-ule (INT, EXT, XPM). If you are calibrat-ing a pressure sensor, and have con-figured CL560 to provide the supplyvoltage or current, connect the ETmodule’s output terminals (marked witha circle in the picture) to the sensor’ssupply terminals. For more informationon sensor supply configuration, seechapter Instrument Input Page onpage 130.

2. Connect the pressure source both to theinstrument’s input and to the pre-se-lected pressure module (INT, EXT,XPM). If a pressure output controller isused, connect it to CL560’s AUX inter-face.

3. Connect the instrument’s output signalto the chosen electrical input port inCL560.

4. Test the connections in Basic Mode ifneeded. To quickly configure the BasicMode’s windows, go to CalibrationMode, select the instrument to be cali-brated and the Function Key C/Cali-brate but immediately return to BasicMode.

Calibration

1. Move to Calibration Mode and select theinstrument to be calibrated. If appli-cable, activate the pressure controllercommunication as described in chap-ter The Instrument Window on page113.

2. Start the calibration as presented inchapter A Calibration Procedure Us-ing CL560 on page 114.

3. Set the pressure manually using, e.g.a pressure pump. If a pressure control-ler is connected to CL560, the pressurecontroller generates the pressure basedon CL560’s requests.

4. In manual calibration: Accept the pointsusing the B/Accept Readings FunctionKey. The calibration proceeds automati-cally if a pressure output controller isavailable and the Calibration Mode isset to Automatic. Additional CalibrationMethod specific data is in chaptersAbout Automatic Calibration andAbout Manual Calibration, both onpage 116.

5. Save or reject the results as is de-scribed in chapter A Calibration Pro-cedure Using CL560 on page 114.

6. Either do another calibration run or re-turn to the Instrument window.

Hint!

These instructions can be adapted for pneumatic pressure trans-mitters and converters, too. Instead of connecting the output sig-nal to a terminal in the E module, connect the pressure output sig-nal to a suitable pressure module.

Warning!

Working with pressure instruments can be hazardous. Onlyqualified personnel may use pressure instruments and pres-sure sources.

Calibration

Temperature Sensors

This procedure suits temperature sensors no matter if they are RTDsor thermocouples. The sensor’s output signal is measured with CL560or it is keyed into CL560. The reference temperature is either mea-sured with CL560 or it is entered or communicated (Input MethodControlled/Meas) to CL560. Automatic calibration requires the firm-ware option for communicating with the calibration bath / dry block.

If you measure the reference temperature using CL560, rememberthe following conditions:

• If the sensor to be calibrated is a thermocouple, the referencethermometer needs to be an RTD sensor.

• If the sensor to be calibrated is an RTD sensor, the referencethermometer needs to be a thermocouple.

Required modules• The ET module for measuring the sensor’s output signal and

possibly also for measuring the reference temperature.

Preparations

1. Connect the calibration bath / dry blockto CL560’s AUX connector (if appli-cable) using the communication cableprovided with CL560. Place the sensorof the instrument (and the sensor of thereference thermometer) into the calibra-tion bath/dry block. Connect it/them tosuitable terminals in CL560 (RTD orT/C). If the sensor is a thermocouple,select one of the available referencejunction methods:

• The internal Reference Junctionmodule is in use.

• The reference junction is fixed to0°C.

• The reference junction tempera-ture is entered.

• The reference junction tempera-ture is measured externally usingan RTD connected to the RTD ter-minals.

See Part C for additional informationconcerning the reference junction meth-ods.

2. Start the calibration as presented inchapter A Calibration Procedure Us-ing CL560 on page 114.

3. Set the temperature of the bath/dryblock to the required calibration point.If the temperature bath/dry block com-municates with CL560, CL560 controlsthe temperature of the bath/dry block.Wait until the temperature stabilizes.

4. If the reading of the reference tempera-ture sensor is entered manually, enterthe value and press B/Accept Read-ings Function Key. If the reference tem-perature sensor is connected to CL560and the Calibration Method is Manual,accept the readings using the B/AcceptReadings Function Key. In automaticcalibration the calibration proceeds au-tomatically. More information on Cali-bration Methods is in chapter AboutAutomatic Calibration and AboutManual Calibration, both on page 116.



Hint!

With small changes, this procedure should also suit all tempera-ture instruments with a fixed sensor. In that case, use a referencesensor that can be connected to CL560 to measure the input signaland either measure or enter the output signal of the instrument.

Use one of the following examples for the output signal:

• Temperature Transmitter with sensor. See the examplePressure Transmitters on page 118.

• Temperature Indicators/Recorders with sensor. See theexample Temperature Indicators and Recorders on page122.

• Temperature switches (thermostats) with sensor. See theexample Electrical Limit Switches on page 124.

Temperature Indicators and Recorders

This procedure suits Temperature Indicators/Recorders no matterif the sensor is an RTD or a thermocouple. The instruments inputsignal is simulated using CL560 and the output reading is enteredinto CL560.

Required modules• The ET module for simulating the temperature sensor. The

Base Unit takes care of entered output signal.

Preparations

1. Connect suitable terminals in CL560 tothe input connectors of the indicator/recorder.

2. If the sensor to be simulated is a ther-mocouple, select one of the followingreference junction methods:

• The internal Reference Junctionmodule is in use.

• The reference junction is fixed to0°C.

• The reference junction tempera-ture is entered.

• The reference junction tempera-ture is measured externally usingan RTD connected to the RTD ter-minals.

See Part C for additional informationconcerning the reference junction meth-ods.

3. If the sensor to be simulated is an RTD,the used wiring system depends on theinstrument to be calibrated. Rememberto only use the two leftmost RTD termi-nals in CL560.

Calibration

1. Move to Calibration Mode, select theinstrument to be calibrated and start thecalibration as presented in chapter ACalibration Procedure Using CL560on page 114.

2. CL560 simulates the output signal of thetemperature sensor for each calibrationpoint. The middlemost window displaysthe default value for the reading. Youhave two possibilities on how to con-tinue:

• Adjust the simulated signal untilthe reading of the indicator/re-corder is exactly the same as thedefault value displayed in CL560.This method is useful when cali-brating analog indicators/record-ers and the input signal sourcesupports fine adjustment.

• Select the field displaying the de-fault value and enter the actualreading. This method is usefulwhen calibrating indicators withdigital display or when the inputsignal cannot be fine adjusted.

3. Accept the points using the B/AcceptReadings Function Key.



Hint!

This procedure can be used as a reference when calibrating anykind of indicators/recorders. Adapt the input signal connections/set-tings according to the instruments input signal.

When calibrating a temperature instrument with a detachable sen-sor (the input signal is simulated with CL560), use this example asthe source for the input signal part.

Calibration

Electrical Limit Switches

This procedure suits limit switches with an electrical input. The in-put signal is generated with CL560.

Required modules• The ET module for generating the required electrical signal

(Voltage or Current).

• The E module for detecting the switch’s state.

Preparations

1. Connect the ET module’s terminalsmarked “OUTPUT” to the input of theswitch.

2. Connect the switch contact to the switchterminals in the E module.


Calibration

1. Move to Calibration Mode and select theinstrument to be calibrated.

2. Start the calibration as is presented inchapter A Calibration Procedure Us-ing CL560 on page 114. CL560 doesthe Prescan if it is enabled. During theprescan, CL560 searches for approxi-mate values for the actuating anddeactuating point. This speeds up thefinal test without sacrificing accuracy.The prescan test is done only once in acalibration.

• By default, the Prescan is set to on.If you do not want CL560 to performa prescan, disable it (commandsD/MENU and 2/Prescan). WhenPrescan is set to off, CL560 usesthe whole scan range also duringthe actual test.

3. The actual test is done automatically:CL560 slowly increases the input sig-nal until the switch actuates and con-tinues by decreasing the input signaluntil the switch deactuates. CL560’sscreen displays the obtained data asthe test advances.

• If for some reason the calibrationcannot be done automatically (be-cause the input signal is measured,not generated/simulated), you willhave to change the input signalmanually. The slower you raise theinput signal the more accurate theobserved actuation point is. Beequally careful when decreasing theinput signal in order to get thedeactuation point.



Notes.

Selecting Calibration Method Manual when the input signal is gen-erated/simulated with CL560 means that each pair of actuation/deactuation points have to be accepted manually.

If the prescan stops and displays an error message, try wideningthe scan range. It is also advisable to have the scan range sym-metrical in relation to the actuation/deactuation points.

Hint!

This procedure also suits other types of switches. How to calibrateother types of switches may be adapted by combining the informa-tion of this example with the input signal information from one of thefollowing examples:

• Pressure switches. See the example Pressure Transmit-ters on page 118.

• Temperature switches with a fixed sensor. See the exampleTemperature Sensors on page 120.

• Temperature switches with a detachable sensor. See theexample Temperature Indicators and Recorders on page122.

Calibration

Using External Devices in Calibration ModeIn order to utilize external devices when calibrating an instrument,the following things need to be set/available before the calibrationis started:

• The required firmware option has to be installed in CL560 (andwhen applicable, in the connected external device).

• The Instrument’s Input Method field has to be set either toControlled or Controlled/Meas. About the settings:

∗ Controlled: The input signal (pressure or temperature)is measured using one of CL560’s measurement inputports.

∗ Controlled/Meas: The input signal is measured by theexternal device and communicated to CL560.

In both cases: CL560 sends the set point values to the exter-nal device via the communication cable connected to the AUXconnector

• The Instrument’s Calibration Method field has to be set toAutomatic.

• In the Instrument Window:Select the D/Menu and 7/Con-troller Settings to select theController type and activatethe communication.

Notes.

The Input Method option Con-trolled is available for the follow-ing Input Quantities: Pressure,RTD temperature and TC tem-perature.

The Input Method option Con-trolled/Meas is available for thefollowing Input Quantities: Pressure, Temperature, RTD Tempera-ture and TC Temperature.

More information on how to create instruments into CL560’s data-base and how to edit the settings of an existing instrument is avail-able in chapter Maintaining CL560’s Instrument Database on page128 and its subchapters.

Chapter Generating Signals Using External Devices on page 81contains a description on how to utilize external devices in BasicMode and also information on controller settings.

CL560’s Support for Instrument AdjustmentCL560 includes a special utility foradjusting instruments.

This tool is of use when CL560 gen-erates/simulates the input signal orcontrols an external device thatgenerates/simulates the input sig-nal (automatic calibration). Use thestandard calibration screen whenadjusting instruments that are cali-brated manually.

When viewing the three CalibrationWindows, open the adjustment util-ity by pressing the C/Adjust Func-tion Key.

Press the Function Keys B, C and D to quickly change the value ofthe input signal.

Additionally, the input signal field is editable during instrument ad-justment. This makes it possible for you to enter generation/simula-tion values other than the ones available via the Function Keys.

Hint.

Maintaining CL560’s Instrument Database

This chapter and its subchapters describe how to create instruments,edit instrument data and delete instruments.

Adding instruments to CL560’s database by downloading the in-struments from an external calibration database software is not pre-sented here. When using such a software, consult the InstructionManual of the software.

CL560’s memory is dynamic. There are no fixed amount instrumentsand calibration data that you may keep in CL560’s memory. It alldepends on how many calibration repeats and how much historydata is kept in the memory.

Normally, you can safely store some hundreds of instruments andtheir calibration results without having “out of memory” messages.

If you want to delete instruments or calibration data from CL560’smemory, see chapters Deleting Instruments on page 132 andDeleting Calibration Results on page 134.

Adding New InstrumentsIf you go to Calibration Mode, butthere are no instruments in CL560’sdatabase, the Position ID list isempty except for the possibility tocreate a new instrument. Select the

or the key to create a newinstrument.

If the Position ID list is not empty,you can add new instruments byselecting D/MENU and 1/CreateNew Instrument.

Switches have an altogether differ-ent group of settings as shown inthe adjacent picture.

The actuation and deactuationpoint errors are calculated againstthe corresponding nominal values.

Error Calculation Directions de-fine error directions to be observedwhen calculating errors.

Scan Range values define therange where CL560 searches forthe approximate actuation anddeactuation point at the beginningof an automatic calibration of aswitch. The range limits should be symmetrical in relation to theactuation/deactuation points.

Calibration Settings Page

The Setpoint Delay setting is ofuse only when the CalibrationMethod is set to Automatic. Itdefines how long CL560 waits be-fore saving the input and outputvalues after input value waschanged to the next calibrationpoint.

Maximum Allowed CalibrationPoint Deviation is a limit that de-fines how far the input signal valueof the saved point can be from thetheoretical calibration point. Thissetting is used both in manual andautomatic calibration.

Again, the settings for a switch is somewhat different:

An additional Number of Repeats field is visible but no Calibra-tion Points or Maximum Allowed Calibration Point Deviationfields.

137

General

HART (Highway Addressable Remote Transducer) is a digital com-munication protocol that uses sine waves superimposed on the stan-dard 4 - 20 mA current. Because the HART signal is small, and itsaverage value is zero it does not affect the accuracy of the analogcurrent signal.

HART is a master-slave communication protocol, which means thatduring normal operation, each slave (field device) communicationis initiated by a master communication device. Two masters (a pri-mary master and a secondary master) can connect to a HART loop.

The HART communication protocol is an open standard owned bythe member companies in the HART Communication Foundation(HCF). For additional information contact:HART Communication Foundation, 9390 Research Boulevard,Suite I-350, Austin, Texas, 8759 USA.Internet: http://www.hartcomm.org

CL560 and HARTCL560 Multifunction Calibrator’s HART communication is a firm-ware option that can be used provided an E module is included inthe CL560 at hand. The HART modem required for HART commu-nication is located in the E module and the terminals of the E mod-ule are used for connecting CL560 with the Hart instrument.

CL560 supports HART Revision 5. Earlier revisions are not sup-ported.

CL560 treats the Analog Output (AO) and the Digital Output (PV,Primary Variable) as separate instruments. To calibrate/trim bothoutput signals, an Analog Output instrument and a Digital Outputinstrument need to be created into CL560’s instrument database.This can be done manually or automatically by communicating withthe HART instrument to be calibrated/trimmed.

General

138


Connecting CL560 and a HART Instrument

How the HART instrument is connected to CL560 depends on thesupply power connection and whether there is a test diode con-nected to the transmitter. The following pictures describe the con-nections for each case.

Supply From the CalibratorCL560 supplies thetransmitter and mea-sures the output cur-rent. The HART® termi-nal is used for digitalcommunication. CL560automatically includesthe required 270 ohmresistor.

External SupplyCL560 measures theexternally suppliedoutput current of thetransmitter. TheHART® terminal isused for digital com-munication. Remem-ber to make sure thatthe loop also in-cludes a resistor witha resistance between230 to 600 ohm orthat the impedanceof the loop itself is at least 230 ohms.

Adding a HART Instrument to CL560’s Instrument Database

CL560 has a semi-automatic utilityto add HART instruments toCL560’s instrument database. Se-lect 7/Add HART instrument toDatabase from the Basic Mode’sHART Menu. Continue by select-ing which output is to be added,analog or digital. The following in-strument data is acquired from theHART instrument:

The following instrument data isacquired from the HART instru-ment:

Input Quantity Input UnitInput Range Input MethodOutput Quantity Output UnitOutput Range Output MethodTransfer Function Device IDSetpoint Delay

When the instrument is created,CL560 automatically opens the In-strument Window, from where it iseasy to either check/edit instrumentdata or start calibrating the instru-ment. It is recommended to edit theinstrument data and carefully checkthe default values assigned for in-strument data fields that do nothave corresponding fields in HARTinstrument data. To edit the instru-ment data, press the 2/Edit button.

At least the following instrument data fields should be checked:

Error Calculation Method Reject if > Input PortCalibration Method Calibration Points Output Port

Keep in mind that changing the value of some of the above men-tioned fields may also require changes in related fields.

Note.

The HART instrument’s TAG is assigned to the Device ID field in CL560. NoPosition ID is automatically assigned to the instrument.

Calibrating a HART Instrument

Selecting the Instrument to be CalibratedTo be able to calibrate the HARTinstrument, it has to be added toCL560’s instrument database. Theanalog output (AO) and the digitaloutput (PV) are treated as separateinstruments.

Adding the instruments can bedone using the utility described inchapter Adding a HART Instru-ment to CL560’s Instrument Da-tabase on page 145 or by sendingthe instrument data from a calibra-tion software. Additionally: you canalso manually enter the instrumentdata into CL560’s instrument data-base.

Select the instrument to be cali-brated from CL560’s list of availableinstruments.

If you are already connected to theHART instrument (HART commu-nication started in Basic Mode),CL560 continues directly from theInstrument Window to the Calibra-tion Windows.

If HART communication is notstarted and you are calibrating thedigital output (PV) of the HART in-strument, CL560 prompts you tostart the communication and selectthe instrument in a window similarto the adjacent picture.

CL560 accepts the HART instrument as the instrument to be cali-brated only if its instrument data matches with the data of the instru-ment selected in CL560.

The Calibration ProcedureCalibrating a HART instrumentdoes not differ from the calibrationof a non-HART instrument withsimilar input quantity, input method,output quantity and output method.Refer to the examples in CL560User Guide’s Part D.

Note.

Calibrating the Analog Output (AO) ofa HART instrument does not necessar-ily require HART communication.CL560 treats it as a standard analoginstrument during the calibration proce-dure.

Trimming a HART Instrument in CalibrationMode

There is a special utility for trimminga HART instrument duringcalibration. To start the HARTadjustment, select D/MENU and1/Start HART Adjustment.

How CL560 continues depends on the instrument previously se-lected for calibration:

• If the output signal of the previously selected instrument is thedigital output of a HART instrument, the instrument input datawindow, shown as the leftmost picture below is opened imme-diately.

• For all other output signals CL560 prompts you to start thecommunication and select the instrument to be calibrated (re-fer to the picture in chapter Selecting the Instrument to beCalibrated on page 146. Then the instrument input data win-dow shown below is opened.

Press B/Next Page Function Key to check/edit instrument outputdata and then A/Trim to start the adjustment.

CL560 opens the HART Adjustmentmenu with the Digital Output (PV)selected. To change to Analog Out-put (AO), use the menu option4/Select Output.

CL560 Datalog Viewer

GeneralCL560 Datalog Viewer is a utility for transferring Data Logging re-sults from CL560 to a personal computer (PC). The results can beviewed in CL560 Datalog Viewer and saved in the utility’s own for-mat or exported for use in other applications, e.g. Microsoft Excel®.

CL560 Datalog Viewer has two windows. One for displaying theresults in a table and another that displays a graph based on theresults.

The graph and the table have a linked cursor. Double-click any-where inside the graph area and you will see a vertical bar. Thecorresponding data row in the table is highlighted. Similarly, if youmove the highlighted row in the table (by clicking on another row orusing the arrow keys), the vertical bar in the graph window movesto the corresponding location in the graph.

Installing CL560 Datalog ViewerCL560 Datalog Viewer does not require a special installation pro-cedure. Just copy DataLog.exe to a folder that suits your needsand start the software from that location.

Communication Settings

Before connecting to CL560 Multifunction Calibrator, be sure to se-lect the correct Serial Port and Port Speed in the settings menu.

Opening Existing Data Files

Selecting the Open icon in the toolbar (or Open in the File menu)opens files in software’s own format (*.lg5). To read data saved inother supported formats, choose the Import option in the File menu.

Importing and Exporting

CL560 Datalog Viewer supports importing and exporting ofWorksheet files (*.csv) and text Files (*.txt). Both file formats arealso supported by several spreadsheet software, e.g. MicrosoftExcel®. When exporting, CL560 Datalog Viewer gives you the pos-sibility to select the CSV file separator (comma or a list separatorbased on Window’s settings).

Other UtilitiesAll of the property settings described in the subsequent chaptersare preserved only when saving data in CL560 Datalog Viewer’sown file format (*.lg5). Other file formats (*.csv and *.txt) save onlythe data, but no property settings.
