Equipment Electrical Safety Testing Procedure
To ensure that a gauge does not become an electrical hazard to the operator, servicing agent or builder Versatile
Technology, an electrical safety test must be performed on the gauge prior to commissioning and a test record must
be completed and shipped to the customer.
Test Equipment Required.
Insulation and Earth Resistance Tester. Lutron DI6200 or equivalent.
Testing standards. Based on Australian Standards AS 3760:2001.
Test Procedure.
Part A: Insulation Test.
Connect the Tester as shown in the following diagram. The tester applies 500 volts and measures the resistance
between the mains circuit and the gauge earth, which is the gauge case. Record all results on Electrical Safety
Certificate
The Minimum Resistance allowed between the Active supply and case is 1 M.
Note: If the resistance is below 5 M then the gauge should be
serviced as there may be an electrical fault.

Software Updates
Performing A Software Update
Updates to the gauge software may be made available by Versatile Technology. Updates may add new gauge
functionality or resolve gauge problems.
To update the gauge you will need a USB stick (thumb drive, jump drive).
It is recommended you do a backup of the current gauge software and gauge files before performing a software
update (See “Backup Gauge Settings To USB” on page 33.).
Use the following steps to update the software on the gauge.
1. Obtain binary file (*.bin) from Versatile Technology.
2. Copy binary file to USB stick.
The naming and location of the binary file on the USB stick is critical for the gauge to recognise the file and perform
an update.
• Plug the USB stick into computer.
• Create a folder on the USB stick called ‘UPDATE’.
• If the USB stick already had an UPDATE folder delete any files currently within it.
• Copy the binary file to the UPDATE folder. There should only be one file in the UPDATE folder.
• Rename the binary file to be less than 6 characters.
Versatile Technology will usually supply a binary file with the following naming format.
“AES098_29_1D.bin” where AES098 is the gauge name, 29 is the VT internal identification number
and1D is the software version.
Once copied to the USB stick the file can be renamed to “AES1D.bin”, “1D.bin”, “Gauge.bin”
or “New.bin”. Any name is ok as long as it is less than 6 characters (excluding the .bin extension).
• Remove the USB stick from Computer.
3. Perform gauge software update
• Plug the USB stick into SERVICE PORT of
gauge.
• Reset the gauge by turning off the gauge power
then turning it back on again.
• The gauge screen will display the prompt for
user verification to update once the gauge detects
the USB stick (shown in Fig. 1).
• Press ENTER on the keypad to update the
gauge software from the USB stick.

Calibration Overview
All gauges used for the purpose of process control and acceptance inspections should be regularly tested to ensure
they are accurate, within calibration and capable of measuring the process.
Ensure that all equipment used to calibrate the gauge has been laboratory calibrated and its certification is traceable
to national measurement standards.
Calibration Report and Sticker
At the completion of the calibration the results should be studied to ensure all parts of the gauge operate within
specifications and a ‘calibrated’ sticker applied to the gauge indicating when the next calibration is due. Calibration
reports should be filed for future reference.
When and how often should I calibrate?
Calibration of the gauge should be conducted annually. It is recommended calibration be checked when the gauge is
first commissioned, when any repair work has been performed that would affect calibration or if test results are
suspect.
Can Enamel Rater Calibration
The following procedure is straightforward, however the procedure should be carefully followed to avoid damage to
the gauge and personal injury.
Please read the warning notice on page 2 before performing
any work on this equipment.
