### Smart Setup Registers

The Tiger meter uses three smart setup registers to configure all smart input modules. The IST5 input module requires only smart register 1 (SMT1) to be configured. See Figure 3.

IST5-6 Data Sheet (NZ359)

Input module IST5 has tw o RTD inputs: RTD1 and R TD2. RTD1 is ph ysically connected to input 1 and RTD2 is physically connected to input 2 of IST5 s dual channel, 16-bit A to D con vertor. See Figure 4.

SMT1 resides in IST5 s microcontroller and allo ws you to select the R TD type to suit y our input. SMT1 applies a Pt 385 or Pt 392 linear ization table to both input 1 and input 2.

The IST5 input module produces two output registers, one for the averaged signal output from each RTD.

The data from one of these registers can be tr ansferred to a channel in the Tiger meter. All four channels can be selected for either RTD1 or RTD2, or a combination of both inputs can be selected, f or example:

RTD1 to CH1.

RTD2 to CH2.

CH3 not used.

CH4 not used.

The channels are selected through the codes in the Tiger meters main programming mode:

RTD1 or RTD2 to CH1 via Code 2.

RTD1 or RTD2 to CH2 via Code 4.

RTD1 or RTD2 to CH3 via Code 5.

RTD1 or RTD2 to CH4 via Code 6.

### Programming Procedures

The following programming procedures cover all the steps required to configure smar t input module IST5.

Steps 1 to 7 describe how to select the line frequency and the RTD type through SMT1.

Steps 8 to 12 describe how to select the output registers f or channels 1, 2, 3, or 4 as required.

Press the

and

buttons at the same time to enter the main programming mode.

Press the

button three times to enter Code 2. Set Code 2 to [X77].

This setting enters the smart register 1 code setup menu.

Note the output registers in the 3rd digit are specific to the dual R TD input module.

These registers vary for each different smart input module.

### Calibration Procedures

Calibrating the IST5 dual RTD smart input module is done in the f ollowing two steps:

Perform a simulated RTD input calibration procedure.

Perform a full scale calibration procedure.

Simulated RTD Input Calibration Procedure To gain the best performance from and linearization of RTD signals, the input module should be initially calibrated using a sim ulated RTD input signal of 32 F (0 C). Fine calibration is a means of initially calibr ating the input module using tw o 100 precision resistors to simulate an RTD input signal of 32 F. This is normally done before the input module leaves the factory. But, if recalibration is required, connect two 100 precision resistors to the input module according to the connection diagram shown in Figure 6 and carry out the following steps.

1) Ensure that the line frequency rejection and R TD type settings for SMT1 have been set. See Steps 2 and 3

of the Programming procedures.

2) Enter the main programming mode in your Tiger meter and set the offset setting to 0 (zero) and the span set-

ting to 1 (one) for CH1 and CH2 using the f ollowing codes:

for CH1 select

then press the

button.

Leave the offset setting [OFF_1] at [0] and press the

button.

Display toggles between

Adjust the full scale setting [SCA_1] to [1] and press the

button.

Display returns to

for CH2 select

then press the

button.

Carry out the same steps as f or CH1 to to set the offset and full scale settings f or CH2.

3) While still in the main prog ramming mode set CH1 to displa y RTD1 and CH2 to displa y RTD2 using the f ol-

lowing codes:

for CH1 enter Code 2 and select R TD1 in the 3rd digit. See Step 9 on Page 4.

for CH2 enter Code 4 and select R TD2 in the 2nd digit. See Step 10 on Page 5.

4) While viewing CH1, adjust the trimpot until the display reads 3200 counts. This represents 32.00 F.

Both CH1 and CH2 are now calibrated.

Full Scale Calibration Procedure The RTDs can be calibrated in F or C. A calibration source is the easiest method to calibr ate a zero and full scale setting, otherwise, the known resistance values for the temperatures must be used:

RTD Pt 385:

0 C is equivalent to 100 .

100 C is equivalent to 138.5 .

For example:

Offset (low setting) is zero (0 C).

Full scale setting is 100 C.

Enter the calibration mode and carry out the procedure on Page 7 for both CH1 and CH2.
