Adam 4017 Calibration

Hi everyone,

 

I am having trouble with calibrating my ADAM-4017 Data Acquisition Module.

 

I have accidentaly given it the commands for Offset Calibration and Span Calibration when I was testing out the different commands available to it. Now all the readings it shows is completely wrong. I have another working ADAM 4017 Module so I can verify if the reading is correct or not.

 

I have tried following the instructions for proper calibration using the Manual but I found the readings are still off.

 

The steps that I have done for recalibration in 10V so far are

  1. Input 10V DC through Channel 0 + and -.
  2. Connected 125ohm Resistor through Channel 0 + and -.
  3. Typed in the command for Offset Calibration $011 ($AA1, 01 is my hex address),
  4. Typed in the command for Span Calibration $010.
  5. Checked if it was working after this point using a voltage sensor connected through Channel 0. Incorrect Voltage Reading. Off by 5V.
  6. Removed all connections at Channel 0.
  7. Connected 125ohm Resistor through Channel 0 + and -. Found the Voltage Reading to be -10v.
  8. Typed in the command for Offset Calibration $011.
  9. Typed in the command for Span Calibration $010.
  10. Checked if it was working using a voltage sensor. Incorrect voltage reading of 3v, off by 1v. (Voltage reading on the working ADAM 4017 was around 2v)

 

Please advise what I can do next to bring back my ADAM 4017 to working condition.

 

Thank You! 🙂
