6.2 Calibrating an I/P Device

The following steps show how to calibrate a device that controls
pressure:

1.

Select upper display from the Main Menu, and select pressure
from the primary parameters.

2.

Switch to lower display from the Main Menu, and select current
source [mA out] from the primary parameters.

3.

Connect the calibrator to the device as shown in Figure 20. The
calibrator will simulate the transmitter current and measure the
output pressure.

4.

Enter a current using the keypad.

6.3 Calibrating a Transmitter

To calibrate a transmitter both the upper and the lower displays will
be used; one for measuring and the second a source. This section
covers all but the pressure transmitters. A thermocouple temperature
transmitter is used in this example.

The following steps show how to calibrate a temperature transmitter:

1.

From the Main Menu select upper display, and choose current
loop [mA LOOP].

2.

Switch to lower display from the Main Menu, and select [TC]
from the primary parameters. Choose output [OUT] from the
input/output control, and select TC type.

3.

Set the 0 % and 100 % span points using the keypad and the
0% and 100% keys (refer to Setting 0 % and 100 % Parameters
section).
