Calibrations (Voltage and Current)
See Figure 3-43. The Calibration screen is used to
calibrate the hardware in the controller that measures AC
voltages and currents. They are calibrated in the factory
but may require fine tuning at site.
Figure 3-43. Calibrations
There are three general buttons:
• The Reset All button resets all calibration values to
one (no calibration).
• The Restore button sets all calibration values back
to the settings saved when this screen was
opened.
• The Util-Gen Volts button will automatically cali-
brate the utility voltage readings to be the same as
the generator voltage readings in a Utility monitor-
ing system. The generator voltages must first be
calibrated. The utility voltages can still be manually
calibrated if desired.
Each of the channels can be manually calibrated with the
aid of a CALIBRATED true RMS voltage meter or current
clamp meter. Choose which channel to calibrate from the
eight options. For example, if calibrating the Generator
Line to Line (L-L) voltage, see Figure 3-44 and follow the
procedure below.
1. Select “Generator L-L” (A).
2. Start in the A-B voltage column (B). The Power
Zone A-B voltage reading is dynamically displayed
on the screen.
3. Use the meter (C) to read the A-B voltage
manually.
4. Enter the meter reading onto the screen (resolution
of 0.1 volts).
5. Click “Calibrate” (D). Calculations will be performed
and a new calibration stored for that channel.
6. Repeat for readings B-C and C-A.
The same procedure can be used for all other channels,
however for the Amp readings, a calibrated clamp meter
is required.
NOTE: As the calibrations change for the voltages, the
voltage on the meter will change due to the AVR targeting
the new voltage.
NOTE: It is best to calibrate voltages at no load and
currents a full load or the site expected full load.
NOTE: It is not normal for the meter reading to be more
than 20% from the generator reading. If this occurs, verify
all other related settings and parts are proper such as CT
ratios.
