8. Adjustment of zero point / span

8. Adjustment of zero point / span (only for pressure transmitter with
clamping nut)
We do not recommend to adjust the span potentiometer. It is used for adjustment ex
factory and should not be adjusted by you unless you have adequate calibration equip-
ment at your disposal (at least three times more accurate than the instrument being
tested).
Make sure wires are not cut or pinche
„
during disassembly and reassembly of
the connector.
„ Remove the female connector. Open
the pressure transmitter by detaching
the clamping nut (see Fig. A ). Carefully
remove the male connector from the
case.
„ Adjust the zero point (Z) (see Fig. B ) by
generating the lower limit of the pressure
range.
Adjust the span (S) by generating the
„
higher limit of the pressure range.
Check the zero point.
„
If the zero point is incorrect, repeat
„
procedure as required.
Reassemble the instrument carefully.
„
Make sure all sealings and o-rings are
„
not damaged and correctly installed to
assure the rated moisture ingress protec-
tion.
Recommended recalibration cycle: 1 year
