2. HART COMMUNICATOR OPERATION
CAUTION
1. Test output is held for approximately 10
minutes, and then released automatically
after the time has elapsed. Even if the HART
Communicator power supply is turned off or
the communication cable is disconnected
during test output, it is held for approximately
10 minutes.
2. Press the
(OK) key to release test output
immediately.
(13) Sensor Trim
Each DPharp EJA Series Transmitter is factory
characterized. Factory characterization is the process of
comparing a known pressure input with the output of
each transmitter sensor module over the entire pressure
and temperature operating range. During the character-
ization process, this comparison information is stored
in the transmitter EEPROM. In operation, the transmit-
ter uses this factory-stored curve to produce a process
variable output (PV), in engineering units, dependent
on the pressure input. The sensor trim calibration
procedure allows you to make corrections to the
calculated process variable.
There are two ways to trim the sensor: full sensor trim
and zero trim. A full sensor trim is a two point process,
in which two accurate end-point pressures are applied
(equal to or greater than the range values), and all
output is linearized between them. A zero trim is a
one-point adjustment typically used to compensate for
mounting position effects or zero shifts caused by static
pressure. (See section 1.1.1)
