Calibrating a Supported HART Transmitter

Output Trim

An Output Trim adjusts the tranmitter’s Output stage. You can perform an Output Trim on both generic and supported transmitters.

To perform an Output Trim:

1.From the Active Device screen Press the Service softkey, followed by Output Trim.

Sensor Trim

You can only perform a Sensor Trim on a supported transmitter. A Sensor Trim adjusts the Input stage of a HART transmitter. If your application does not use the Output stage of the transmitter, Sensor Trim is the only adjustment you need to make.

A Sensor Trim may involve one or more trim points. This is controlled by the transmitter’s software. You can only perform a Sensor Trim on a supported transmitter.

To perform a Sensor Trim, proceed as follows:

1.From the Active Device screen, press the Service softkey, followed by Sensor Trim.
