For transmitters that are field installed, the manifolds discussed in “Rosemount 304, 305 and 306 integral manifolds” on page 47 allow the differential transmitter to be zeroed using the zero trim function. Both 3-valve and 5-valve manifolds are discussed. This field calibration will eliminate any pressure offsets caused by mounting effects (head effect of the oil fill) and static pressure effects of the process.

Determine the necessary trims with the following steps.

1.Apply Pressure

2.Check digital pressure, if the digital pressure does not match the applied pressure, perform a digital zero trim. See “Sensor Trim” on page 68.

Trimming with configuration buttons

Local configuration buttons are buttons located inside the housing of the transmitter. To access the buttons, remove the housing cover.

Digital Zero Trim (DZ): Used for performing a sensor zero trim. See “Recommended Calibration Tasks” on page 64 for trim instructions.

Figure 5-1shows the location of the digital zero button.

5.3.2Determining calibration frequency

Calibration frequency can vary greatly depending on the application, performance requirements, and process conditions. Use the following procedure to determine calibration frequency that meets the needs of your application.

1.Determine the performance required for your application.

2.Determine the operating conditions.

3.Calculate the Total Probable Error (TPE).

4.Calculate the stability per month.

5.Calculate the calibration frequency.
