SECTION 14.0

CALIBRATION - CURRENT OUTPUTS

14.1 INTRODUCTION

Although the controller outputs are calibrated at the factory, they can be trimmed in the field to match the reading from a standard current meter. Both the low output (0 or 4 mA) and the high output (20 mA) can be trimmed.

14.2 TRIMMING THE OUTPUTS

5.Select “Cal point 1” (0 or 4 mA) or “Cal point 2” (20 mA).

6.Move the cursor to “Meter” and press Enter (F4). Measure the output current with a calibrated ammeter. Use the é or ê keys to change the display to match the ammeter reading and press Save (F4).

7.Move the cursor to the other “Cal point” and select it. Repeat step 6.
