Zeroing the Gauge

The gauge is factory calibrated while "standing upright"
(

→ "Calibration Test Report").

Perform a zero adjustment, when the gauge is operated

for the first time.

Due to long time operation or contamination, a zero drift could
occur and zero adjustment may become necessary.
For adjusting the zero, operate the gauge under the same con-
stant ambient conditions and in the same mounting orientation
as normally.
The output signal (measuring signal) is depending on the moun-
ting orientation. The signal difference between the vertical and
horizontal mounting orientation is:

If the gauge is operated via a controller, the zero of the

whole measuring system has to be adjusted on the
controller: first, adjust the zero of the gauge and then,
the zero of the controller.

<ZERO> Adjustment

The zero can be adjusted via

• the <ZERO> button on the gauge,
• the diagnostic port (→  [4]),
• the EtherCAT interface (→  [3]),
