RTC
Time and date for the UD10-DCU is automatically set

by the EQP controller via the LON network. Changes

to the time on the S3 computer will be reflected at the

UD10-DCU when the controller RTC is set.

When used with the GT3000, the RTC for the GT3000

can be synchronized to the RTC of the display by going

through the Main Menu->Device Setup->RTC->“Sync

W/Disp”.

4-20 ma INPUT LOOP CaLIbRaTION
If the detector connected to the UD10-DCU is HART

enabled, its 4-20 mA output signal can be trimmed.

(A detector calibration should be performed prior to

trimming the detector output or UD10-DCU input).

Navigate down the menu to Device Test > D/A (Digital

to Analog) Trim.

Select Zero Trim. When this screen is entered, a

warning message is presented. Select ENTER to

continue. When the message “Connect Reference

Meter” is presented, install the current meter on the

mA line between the detector and UD10-DCU. Select

ENTER to continue. When the message “Set Input

Current to 4mA?” is presented, select ENTER to begin

the Zero Trim function. The detector will now set its 4

mA output value. If the value indicated on the current

meter is not 4.00 mA, enter the measured value into the

UD10-DCU using the Previous and Next switches. The

UD10-DCU calculates and corrects for the difference

between the actual and entered values. When the

current meter value is at the desired 4.00 mA, select

ENTER to accept the new zero trim value.

Select Gain Trim. Follow the same procedure for gain/

span calibration.

UD10-DCU Input Trim
When the UD10-DCU is used with a detector that

supports HART communication, an automated process

can be used to trim the UD10-DCU input. Navigate

down the menu to “Input Loop Cal”.

Upon entering Input Loop Cal, the UD10-DCU

commands the detector to output 4 mA, and then

automatically calibrates its own input. The UD10-DCU

then commands the detector to output 20 mA and

subsequently calibrates its own input.

If a non-HART detector is being used, the Input Loop

Cal may be performed with a mA current source or

loop calibrator connected to the UD10-DCU Sensor

Connector. Follow the loop calibration instructions

shown by the UD10-DCU for this procedure.
