FRER MCOMV;48VDC Calibration Description

Conclusão: Metrological calibration is available for certification; No external zero/span trim potentiometer on unit. On-site opening and adjustment of zero/span are prohibited. It is a factory-calibrated analog isolation transducer.

1. Classe de Precisão & Calibration Differentiation

Nameplate marked Class 0.5: Maximum permissible full scale error ±0.5%FS under reference condition 25℃.

✅ Metrological Calibration (Permitted):

Use standard DC voltage source + high precision milliammeter for multi-point comparison test at 0%, 25%, 50%, 75%, 100%. Can be sent to 3rd-party metrology laboratory for calibration certificate, to verify whether performance remains within Class 0.5.

❌ On-site trimming (Not Supported):

No external Zero / Span access hole on MCOMV legacy housing; PCB trim potentiometers are factory locked. Manufacturer does NOT recommend opening housing for on-site adjustment. Opening voids factory warranty and damages insulation isolation structure, degrading 2.5kV isolation safety rating.

2. Calibration Test Procedure (Lab / Site Comparison, Test Only, No Adjustment)

DUT: MCOMV;48CCV (0~48VDC Input →4~20mA Output)

1. Connect auxiliary power 20~60V DC, warm up ≥15 minutes
2. Apply DC voltage sequentially via standard source: 0V, 12V, 24V, 36V, 48V

0V → Theoretical output 4.000 mA

48V → Theoretical output 20.000 mA

3. Insert high precision milliammeter in series into current loop, record As-Found error for each point
4. Pass Criterion: Error ≤ ±0.5%FS for all test points

Full scale span: 16mA corresponds to 48V; 1%FS = 0.16mA

3. Remedial Actions If Drift Exceeds Tolerance

If calibration shows error out of Class 0.5 tolerância:

1. Replacement preferred (MCOMV discontinued). Recommended upgrade MCOVC1;48CCV, alfinete & dimension compatible;
2. Return to FRER factory for re-calibration (alto custo & long lead time);
3. Domestic alternative transducers: Equipped with external Z/S potentiometer, field zero & span adjustment available.
4. Calibration Feature of New MCOVC (MCOMV Replacement)

MCOVC series also has no external zero/span potentiometer, factory calibrated only, metrological verification permitted, no hardware trimming on site.

5. Recommended Calibration Interval

For DC panel, telecom -48V battery monitoring, power plant applications requiring traceable metrology: Annual calibration every 12 meses.

FRER MCOMV;48VDC Accuracy Calibration Precautions

Core Recap: Only metrological verification allowed (accuracy validation). No external zero/span trim potentiometer. Opening enclosure for adjustment forbidden; Aula 0.5, tolerance ±0.5%FS full scale.

1. Condições Ambientais (Invalid Calibration If Not Satisfied)
2. Temperatura ambiente: Prefer 25℃±2℃ constant temperature; record actual temperature if test off-nominal. Temperature drift ≤100ppm/℃ will introduce extra error.
3. Umidade: 5%~95% UR, condensação proibida. Condensation reduces isolation voltage, causes leakage error or permanent damage.
4. EM Environment: Keep away from VFD, contatores, high-power cables and strong magnetic field. Heavy interference leads to 4~20mA jitter and false failure judgement.
5. Stabilization: Mount transducer on DIN rail, power on and warm up ≥15min until thermal stabilization before reading.
6. Standard Instrument Requirements (Reference instrument accuracy better than DUT)

For Class 0.5 transducer, follow the 1/3 rule (instrument uncertainty ≤1/3 of DUT allowable error)

1. Standard DC Voltage Source: Accuracy better than 0.15 aula, 0~48VDC output, low ripple
2. Standard Milliammeter: DC current measurement accuracy better than 0.15 aula, connected in series in current circuit
3. General multimeter cannot be primary standard (insufficient accuracy), only auxiliary reference

Instruments must be within valid calibration period with certificate to ensure metrology traceability.

III. Fiação & Power Supply Notes

1. Alimentação Auxiliar: Stable 20~60V DC supply with low ripple. Avoid unstable switching power supply for temporary test. Fluctuating supply introduces output drift.
2. Circuito de entrada: Strict polarity for input +/-; limited reverse protection exists but long-time reverse energizing not recommended. Keep input wiring short; shielded cable with single-end grounding to reduce common-mode interference.
3. Output Current Loop

Insert standard ammeter in series within 4~20mA loop

Total loop resistance shall not exceed 750Ω (ammeter internal resistance + cable resistance). Excessive load prevents reaching 20mA full scale and leads to false failure.

Tight wiring terminals; loose contact causes reading fluctuation.

4. Aterramento: Avoid multiple grounding for transducer, standard source and meters to prevent ground loop and common-mode voltage measurement error.
5. Pontos de calibração & Diretrizes de Operação

Recommended test points: 0V, 12V, 24V, 36V, 48V (0%, 25%, 50%, 75%, 100%FS)

1. Upscale test: Ramp input from 0V up to full scale 48V, record output for each point
2. Downscale test: Ramp down from 48V to 0V for return test and hysteresis error inspection
3. Wait 3~5 seconds at each test point for reading stabilization before recording
4. Do not continuously apply full 48V for long duration. Though 50% continuous overload is supported, long overvoltage accelerates aging. Transient 2× overload only for impulse test and not used for accuracy calibration.
5. Error Calculation: FS =16mA full scale span. Error=(Measured Value − Theoretical Value)/FS ×100%. Criterion ±0.5%FS.
6. Segurança & Equipment Protection
7. Three-way Isolation: Entrada, output and power isolated at 2.5kV. Do NOT short input and output during test, isolation structure will be damaged.
8. Enclosure opening prohibited: Internal PCB potentiometer factory locked. Opening destroys insulation, voids warranty and compromises isolation rating with safety hazard. Even if trimmed, FRER factory does not recognize field adjustment, and metrology certificate will not accept on-site hardware modification.
9. Moderate torque on terminal screws; avoid over-tightening which strips threads and damages PCB.
10. Gravação de dados, Judgement & Disposition
11. Record items: Temperatura ambiente & umidade, instrument ID/certificate number, auxiliary supply voltage, forward/backward readings of all points and calculated error
12. Pass Criterion: All forward & return test point errors ≤ ±0.5%FS to be qualified; hysteresis error recorded together
13. Out-of-tolerance handling: No on-site correction possible for this device. Opções: Replace with MCOVC1;48VDC compatible model or return to factory for recalibration. Do NOT use PLC AI channel software offset compensation as substitution of transducer calibration (only temporary engineering compensation and not accepted as metrology compliance evidence).

VII. Armadilhas Comuns

❌ Use PLC built-in AI reading as calibration reference: PLC AI module has inherent error and cannot serve as metrology standard

❌ Neglect load resistance: Loop total resistance＞750Ω, full scale cannot reach 20mA and false failure occurs

❌ Read data without warm-up: Components thermally unstable, temperature drift error introduced

❌ Multiple grounding, ground loop interference and output fluctuation

❌ Open housing and adjust internal potentiometer: Not accepted by metrology and isolation invalidated
