Analog Input Calibration  
Analog input modules can accommodate five input types: 
• 
RTD 
• 
Thermocouple 
• 
Ohms 
• 
Volt and milliVolt 
• 
4-20 mA 
Calibration values for each channel are stored in the module as numeric values paired with A/D conversion 
counts corresponding to those numeric values. The numeric values are those identified as ‘REFERENCE’ 
on the OI or HCD calibration displays; apply these values to the input terminals during the calibration 
procedure.  
For AI channels configured as thermocouple inputs, the stored calibration values are compensated by the 
measured temperature of the terminals. Because of this observe the following rules: 
• 
If you plan on calibrating the 2 cold junction compensation devices, perform this operation first before 
performing any thermocouple calibrations. However, because cold junction measurement inaccuracies 
will be compensated in each individual thermocouple calibration, cold junction calibration may be 
skipped. 
• 
After connecting the thermocouple extension wire to the terminals, you must wait for the terminal 
temperature to stabilize. 
• 
If using a compensated calibrator, input the equivalent simulated temperature values corresponding to 
the REFERENCE mV values. These will be the hi and low range values for the particular thermocouple 
configured. 
Figure 56 is an adaptation of the wiring diagram given in the installation section of this manual.  This 
figure indicates how an calibration device can be connected to the appropriate terminals of an analog input 
module.  The calibration device(s) must have the following precision characteristics: 
• 
TC, mVolts, Volts inputs:  1 microvolt resolution 
• 
Ohms, RTD inputs: .01 ohm resolution 
• 
4-20mA inputs: 4 microamp resolution
