Testing and Recalibrating
Please observe that testing and recalibration of sensors mounted in hazardous arias shall be carried out of Ex qualified personnel.
Testing
Before dispatch, the MAS2600 transmitter is calibrated in accordance with the requirements specified in the order.
The transducer and the amplifier are calibrated together and must, therefore, always be used together.
A programmable measuring range transmitter will in conditions of no pressure (empty tank) give an output signal of 4 mA, and in conditions of maximum pressure (full tank) an output signal of 20 mA.
The transmitter should be tested by applying to the transducer a known pressure from a calibrator and reading the equivalent milliamp signal on a milliamp meter.
The
Recalibrating Gauge Transmitter using Test Cup type G022S100
When recalibrating the MAS2600 Gauge Transmitter a pressure calibrator with a range of
1.Set the calibrator to pressure mode.
2.Connect the pressure calibrator to the transducer via MAS2600 Test Cup, type G022S100.
3.Check that the range select switch on the amplifier is correctly set.
4.In conditions of no pressure (atmospheric pressure) the output signal should be adjusted to 4.00 mA on the zero potentiometer.
5.Increase the pressure to maximum and adjust the output signal to 20.00 mA on the span potentiometer.
6.Remove the pressure and check the zero point
7.Check the linearity at
8.If necessary, repeat the steps 4 to 7.
