6.4 Third Current Output Calibration
Introduction
Calibrate the controller so that the output provides the proper amount of current over the
desired range. The controller can provide a current output range of from 0 mA to 21 mA.
The controller is usually calibrated at 4 mA for 0 % of output and 20 mA for 100 % of
output, but it may be calibrated for any other values between 0 mA and 21 mA. It is not
necessary to re-calibrate the controller in order to change from 4 to 20 mA operation over
to 0 to 20 mA operation; a simple configuration change is all that is required. See the CO
RANGE configuration for Third Current Output in
Sub-section 3.22
for details.
Equipment Needed
You will need a calibrating device with whatever accuracy is required, capable of
measuring 0 to 20 mA.
Calibrator Connections
Refer to Figure 6-3 and wire the controller according to the procedure given in Table 6-5.
Table 6-5 Set Up Wiring Procedure for the Third Current Output
Step
Action
1
Apply power and allow the controller to warm up 30 minutes before you calibrate.
2
Set LOCK in the Tuning Set Up group to NONE.
3
Tag and disconnect the field wiring, at the rear of the controller, from terminals 7 (+)
and 9 (–). See Figure 6-3.
4
Connect a milliammeter across these terminals.
