1. Zero Calibration Procedure
-
Prepare for Calibration
- Close the isolating valve completely.
- Open the drain & test plug to release any residual pressure.
-
Check the Output Current
- Use a multi-meter to measure the loop current of the pressure transmitter.
- The output should be 4mA under atmospheric conditions.
-
Adjust Zero Setting
- If the reading is not 4mA (±0.02mA), adjust the zero potentiometer on the PCB using a minus (-) screwdriver.
- Do not adjust the span potentiometer at this stage.
-
Special Consideration for KFDO Barrier
- If a KFDO-type barrier is installed on the manifold line, adjust the zero potentiometer to 3.80mA instead of 4mA to compensate for current consumption.
2. Span Calibration Procedure
-
Confirm System Readiness
- Ensure that the I.S. valve for the manifold line is closed before proceeding.
-
Connect Calibration Equipment
- Loosen the test plug and connect a 3-way valve calibration jig to the sensor.
- Use a urethane tube to connect the pressure calibrator to the connector.
-
Apply Test Pressure
- If the sensor range is 0–20 Bar, supply 20 Bar pressure using the calibrator.
- Use an ammeter to monitor the output current.
-
Adjust Span Setting
- Adjust the span potentiometer on the amplifier PCB until the output current reaches 20.00mA.
- For systems with a KFDO barrier, adjust the span setting to 19.90mA instead of 20.00mA.
-
Fine-Tuning
- If 20mA cannot be precisely set, compare the actual pressure reading with the local display and fine-tune the span potentiometer accordingly.
3. Final Verification
- Ensure all adjustments are correct before restoring normal operation.
- Close the drain & test plug securely after calibration.
- Verify that the transmitter displays accurate pressure values under normal conditions.
