1. Zero Adjustment Procedure
1.1 Side Mounting Type
-
Close the isolating valve completely.
-
Open the drain & test plug fully to release trapped liquid.
-
Wait for at least 3-5 minutes before proceeding.
1.2 Submersible Type
-
Remove the pressure transmitter or ensure the tank is empty.
-
Inspect the cable for any defects.
-
Measure the loop current using a multimeter. The output current should read 4.00mA when the tank is empty.
-
If the reading deviates from 4.00mA (±0.02mA):
-
Adjust the zero potentiometer on the PCB using a minus (-) screwdriver.
-
Do not touch the span potentiometer.
-
-
If a KFDO type barrier is installed, adjust the zero potentiometer to 3.80mA to compensate for current consumption.
2. Span Adjustment Procedure
2.1 Calibration Setup
-
Submersible Type:
-
Connect a pressure calibrator to the calibration adapter using a 1/8" connector and urethane tube after completing the zero adjustment.
-
-
Side Mounting Type:
-
Verify that the I.S. valve for the relevant tank is closed after completing the zero setting.
-
Loosen the test plug and connect it to a 1/8" connector.
-
Attach the pressure calibrator to the 1/8" connector using a urethane tube.
-
2.2 Span Adjustment
-
If the pressure transmitter’s range is 0-20 mH2O:
-
Apply 20.00 mH2O pressure using the calibrator.
-
Adjust the span potentiometer on the amplifier PCB to read 20.00mA on the ammeter.
-
3. Final Validation
1. Comparing Actual Level with C.R.T Display
- After setting zero, compare:
- Actual tank level (volume)
- C.R.T level (volume)
- Current output from PCB
- If there is a large difference, voltage values should be checked.
2. Voltage Measurement (With & Without Sensor)
- Measure the voltage between sensor wires in both connected and disconnected conditions.
- Record the Brown-Blue, Blue-Red, and Brown-Red voltage values for analysis.
3. Resistance Check for Sensor Cable
-
- Using a multi-meter, measure and record resistance values for:
- Brown-Red
- Brown-Blue
- Blue-Red
- Brown-Earth
- Red-Earth
- Blue-Earth
- These resistance values help diagnose faulty transducers or amplifiers.
- Using a multi-meter, measure and record resistance values for:
4. Troubleshooting Guidelines
-
Zero Adjustment Issues:
-
If zero output does not stabilize at 4.00mA, check the wiring and connections.
-
Ensure there is no residual pressure in the system before calibration.
-
-
Span Adjustment Errors:
-
If the span reading is inaccurate, verify that the calibrator is applying the correct pressure.
-
Ensure the span potentiometer is adjusted precisely to 20.00mA.
-
-
Signal Fluctuations:
-
Inspect the cable and grounding connections for potential faults.
-
Confirm the power supply voltage is stable within the specified range.
