3.3.4. CONNECTING THE CONTROL INPUTS
If you wish to use the analyzer to remotely activate the zero and span calibration modes, several digital control
inputs are provided through a 10-pin connector labeled CONTROL IN on the analyzer’s rear panel.
There are two methods for energizing the control inputs. The internal +5V available from the pin labeled “+” is
the most convenient method. However, if full isolation is required, an external 5 VDC power supply should be
used.

A
REMOTE ZERO CAL
The analyzer is placed in Zero Calibration mode. The mode field of the
display will read ZERO CAL R.
B
REMOTE SPAN CAL
The analyzer is placed in span calibration mode as part of performing a low
span (midpoint) calibration. The mode field of the display will read LO CAL
R.

5 VDC output
Internally generated 5V DC power. To activate inputs A – F, place a jumper
between this pin and the “U” pin. The maximum amperage through this port
is 300 mA (combined with the analog output supply, if used).
