Calibration: Proportional-Only Controllers
Unless otherwise indicated, key number locations are shown in figure 4.
Provide a process pressure source capable of simulating the process pressure range of the controller. If an output
pressure gauge is not provided, install a suitable pressure gauge for calibration purposes.

Connect a pressure source to the supply pressure regulator and be sure the regulator is delivering the correct supply
pressure to the controller. The controller must be connected open loop (Open loop: The controller output pressure
changes must be dead ended into a pressure gauge). The following procedures use a 0.2 to 1.0 bar (3 to 15 psig)
output pressure range as an example. For a 0.4 to 2.0 bar (6 to 30 psig) output range, adjust the values as appropriate.
1. Complete the above connections and provide a process pressure equal to the sensing element range.
3. Verify that the calibration adjuster screws (key 48) are at mid-position in the calibration adjuster (key 36) slots.
Depending upon the controller action, perform one or the other of the following procedures.
