NOTE

Test output continues for approximately 10

minutes, then is released automatically. Even if

the HART communicator power supply is turned

off or the communication cable is disconnected,

test output will continue for approximately 10

minutes.

3.5.7 Sensor Trim

Each DPharp EJX series transmitter is factory

characterized. Factory characterization is the

process of comparing a known pressure input with

the output of each transmitter sensor module over

the entire pressure and temperature operating

range. During the characterization process, this

comparison information is stored in the transmitter

EEPROM. In operation, the transmitter uses this

factory-stored curve to produce a process variable

output (PV), in engineering units, dependent on the

pressure input.
The sensor trim procedure allows you to adjust

for local conditions, changing how the transmitter

calculates process variables. There are two ways

to trim the sensor: a zero trim and a full sensor trim.

A zero trim is a one-point adjustment typically used

to compensate for mounting position effects or

zero shifts caused by static pressure. A full sensor

trim is a two-point process, in which two accurate

end-point pressures are applied (equal to or greater

than the range values), and all output is linearized

between them.

(1) Zero Trim
a. Zeroing—Pres Zero trim

Pres Zero trim carries out the zero adjustment

and automatically sets the applied “0” input

values to the output value of “0,” keeping the

span constant. Use this setting when the LRV is

known to be 0 mmH

b. Level Adjustment—Auto, lower Pt

This zero adjustment calibrates the transmitter

output corresponding to the actual tank level. To

perform this adjustment, first use a glass gauge

or the like to determine the actual tank level,

then enter the correct data as shown below.
