The calibration process runs through the following steps:
3.2.1. Initialisation: During he ini ialisa ion s age, he PIREG-D2 iden ifies he da a necessary for cali-
bra ion. In addi ion, i checks he selec ed empera ure coefficien for dynamics and con inui y wi hin he
selec ed empera ure range. Should he dynamics and con inui y exceed he permi ed limi s, he
PIREG-D2 will s op he calibra ion procedure wi h Error 133 (parame er error).
3.2.2. Calibrate input amplifier: The inpu amplifiers for Ur and Ir are adjus ed in s eps o he vol age
and curren a he hea ing conduc or. In he firs s ep, he required modula ion reserve for he sealing
ransformer/hea ing conduc or combina ion is de ermined au oma ically (from V1.00/1.23/1.30/1.25).
In his calibra ion s ep, he ac ual value display shows differen values every second and he ac ual value
ou pu is charged wi h differen vol ages every second. The measured curren or vol age value is dis-
played or issued al erna ely.
Wi h he ac ual value being shown on he display, he curren value is shown in he con roller's 0-50% se
empera ure range and he vol age value is shown in he 50-100% range. The zero poin of he displayed
values is se a 50 %. A he beginning of he calibra ion, he amplifiers (for Ur and Ir) are ini iallised wi h
minimum amplifica ion. A he end of he calibra ion procedure, if he adjus men has been made success-
fully, he range for he displayed curren value is from 16-33% and he range for he measured vol age
value is from 66–83%. The curren value is displayed accordingly in he 0-5V range a he ac ual value
ou pu and he vol age is displayed in he 5-10 V range. The measuremen s' zero poin is around 5V. The
amplifiers (for Ur and Ir) are ini ialised wi h minimum amplifica ion a he s ar of he calibra ion process.
A he end of he calibra ion procedure, if he adjus men has been made successfully, he range for he
displayed curren value is from 1.66 - 3.33 V and he range for he displayed vol age value is from 6.66 -
8.33 V.
3.2.3. Determining the phase shift: During his s ep, he phase shif s be ween Ur and Ir, caused by he
ransformer, are measured and correc ed. The con roller au oma ically se s he op imum scan imes for Ur
and Ir. The ac ual value display and he ac ual value ou pu show he phase shif . A display of approx.
50% of he con roller's se empera ure range or a signal of approx. 5V corresponds o he op imal value.
3.2.4. Determine reference resistance: The reference resis ance of he hea conduc or (Rref) is de er-
mined in his s ep. A reference empera ure of 0-50°C mus be se in he con roller ( 5.7.2.), for he cali-
bra ion process. During calibra ion, he hea conduc or mus be a he reference empera ure o ensure
ha regula ion is exac . By s andardizing he vol age signal (Ur) and he curren signal (Ir), he reference
resis ance for he differen empera ure coefficien s is always wi hin he same resis ance range. If 20 °C
has been selec ed as he reference empera ure, hen hea conduc or's R20 is direc ly de ermined as he
reference resis ance. If a hea conduc or empera ure o her han 20 °C has been selec ed for calibra ion,
hen he de ermined reference resis ance corresponds o he empera ure coefficien s above or below he
value for he R20. The reference resis ance is displayed for one second a calibra ion s age 4 as an ac u-
al value and a he ac ual value ou pu . A a reference empera ure of 20°C, 70%-80% of he se empera-
ure range is displayed as an ac ual value or he ac ual value ou pu vol age amoun s o 7-8V. For he
en ire range of he reference empera ure of 0-50°C he ac ual value display is wi hin a range of 60%-
100% and he vol age a he ac ual value ou pu is wi hin a range of 6-10V.
3.2.5. Temperature comparison time: ( 5.7.3.) The aim of he empera ure reference ime is o ensure
ha he reference resis ance can only be de emined when he hea conduc or has comple ely cooled
down. During he comparison period, he ac ual value display goes down o from 100% o 0% of he con-
roller's se empera ure range. During his reference ime, he signal a he ac ual value ou pu declines
from 10 V o 0 V. Times of 15 or 30 s can be chosen for he empera ure reference ime.
3.2.6. Check reference resistance: Here he reference resis ance is checked af er he empera ure
comparison period has expired. If calibra ion akes place on a hea conduc or ha has cooled down s ill
fur her during he course of he empera ure reference ime, he en ire calibra ion will be discarded and
he procedure au oma ically res ar ed. Once he reference resis ance has been successfully checked
from he se reference empera ure, he empera ure coefficien selec ed and he calcula ed reference
resis ance, he PIREG-D2 calcula es he hea conduc or’s R20 (resis ance a 20°C).
The reference resis ance measured is displayed for one second a he ac ual value ou pu . The same
vol age se a he ac ual value ou pu as when he reference resis ance was de ermined ( 3.2.4).
3.2.7. Determine the P-factor: The P-fac or of he sealing ransformer/hea conduc or combina ion is
de ermined by specific hea ing a a cons an ac ua ing variable. The hea conduc or is ei her warmed by a
maximum of approx. 60 K or charged for a maximum of 120 ne work periods wi h a defined con rol value.
The o al amplifica ion of he con rol sys em is calcula ed from he measuremen of he power fed in o he
hea conduc or and he measuremen of he empera ure increase of he hea conduc or. The P-fac or for
he PIREG-D2 is calcula ed from his.
In he case of highly adverse condi ions in he sealing ransformer and hea conduc or combina ions or
he mains supply, he PIREG-D2’s P-fac or can be correc ed manually wi hin a range of 30…250 % (
5.5.4.).
