2.5.3Set transmitter percent of range (transfer function)

The Rosemount 2051 Wireless transmitter has two transfer functions for pressure applications: Linear and Square Root. As shown in Figure 2-2 on page 15, activating the square root options the transmitter analog output proportional to flow.

However, for DP Flow and DP Level applications it is recommended to use Scaled Variable. Refer to “Diagnostics and service” on page 24 for setup instructions.

From 0 to 0.6 percent of the ranged pressure input, the slope of the curve is unity (y = x). This allows accurate calibration near zero. Greater slopes would cause large changes in output (for small changes at input). From 0.6 percent to 0.8 percent, curve slope equals 42 (y = 42x) to achieve continuous transition from linear to square root at the transition point.
