CALIBRATION SETUP
9.0 Procedure
9.0 Instruction Details
Check calibration validity of master instruments before use
9.1 The calibration equipment needs to be put in a place that doesn’t have any Vibrations
or electromagnetic interference. In addition, the place must be well-ventilated and
light. The test bench has to be clean, solid, and level, Install the transmitter on the
test bench with stand.
9.2 One end of the tube should be connected to the high pressure side (HP) side of the DP
transmitter, and the other end should be attached to the output of the pressure
calibrator. Check the connections to make sure they are tight and leak-free. The low-
pressure side (LP) of the transmitter is always maintained with an open vent to the
surrounding atmosphere.
The transmitter and the 24-volt power supply are connected in series with a digital
multimeter equipped to measure milli ampere current. Also connect the 250 ohms
resistance series with the transmitter for impedance matching.
Attach the HART communicator to the DP transmitter’s terminal
9.3 Make that the output wire connections and input tubing connections on the DP
transmitter are secure. Set the power supply unit to 24 v dc to turn on the DP
transmitter. Before turning on the circuit, use a multimeter to verify the voltage level
in the power supply output.
Record Findings: ………………………………………………………………….
9.5 Set the transmitter’s 0% Lower Range Value (LRV) to the LRV of the calibration
range. Set the upper range value (URV) of the calibration range for the transmitters’
span to 100%.
9.6 As an example, the transmitter’s 0% LRV is 4mA and it is calibrated to 0 psi if you
are using a differential pressure transmitter with a power output of 4-20mA to
monitor pressure in the range 0-50 psi. The 100% URV is 20mA and will be
calibrated to 50 psi similarly
9.7 Consult the instruction manual to find the transmitter’s ZERO and SPAN/RANGE
adjustments in the display menu.
9.8 Apply the LRV 0% on the high side of the transmitter by pressure calibrator, and 0%
on the low side that is vented.
Record findings:………………………………………………………………….
9.9 While focusing on the 4mA reading on the multimeter, adjust the ZERO adjustment
menu in display or zero adjustment potentiometer of the transmitter. This is your
transmitter’s LRV output.
Record findings:………………………………………………………………….
9.10 Then, apply pressure to the high side of the transmitter to raise the reading to the
calibration range’s 100% higher value (URV).
Record findings:………………………………………………………………….
9.11 While focusing on the 20mA reading on the multimeter, adjust the SPAN adjustment
menu in display or SPAN adjustment potentiometer of the transmitter. This is your
transmitter’s URV output.
Record findings:………………………………………………………………….
9.12 For SMART transmitters, we must use a HART communicator. After connecting the
communicator and the transmitter, choose the lower range value trim and higher
range value trim options from the HART Communicator Menu.
Record findings:………………………………………………………………….
9.13 You will need to perform the method of calibration as many times as necessary until
the DP transmitter is calibrated to the appropriate tolerance.
Record findings:………………………………………………………………….
9.14 Depending on the specific pressure calibrator and DP transmitter being used, the
calibration process may change. As a result, please make sure you follow the
instructions provided by the manufacturer before starting up.
Record findings:………………………………………………………………….
9.15 Do linearity tests in the upscale and downscale directions at 0%, 25%, 50%, 75%, and
100% to make that the DP transmitter is producing the correct output values.
Record findings:………………………………………………………………….
9.16 If the output value does not fall within an acceptable range, calibration is required.
Once again, if the output values have deviated from the allowed range, a DP
transmitter must be serviced or replaced
Record findings:………………………………………………………………….
9.17 No extra calibration is required if every output value (+/- %) falls within acceptable
bounds.The output data should be entered into the as found/as left column of the
blank calibration report.
