Calibration using HART

The SITRANS LC 500 transmitter can be calibrated using HART, with a HART communicator1; a laptop running Simatic PDM, or with the Host system (DCS). The local circumstances determine the manner in which calibration takes place. If the circumstances allow the product to be brought to the 0% and 100% point level, calibration is simple.

Notes:

•Use the arrow keys, up, down, forward and back, to navigate within the menus.

•Use the back arrow to return to previous screens.

Examples of calibration using a Rosemount 275 hand-held communicator, fitted with the GENERIC device descriptor:
