Setting of Zero, Span and Gain
Figure 8: Setting zero, span and gain
1. Apply 4 mA to Input.
2. Turn potentiometer P3 for zero point (ZERO) until actuator just
begins to move from its end position.
Rotate P3 to the right: zero point is increased.
Rotate P3 to the left: zero point is reduced.
3. Apply 20 mA to Input
4. Turn potentiometer P2 for span (S) until actuator exactly reaches its
end position.
Rotate P2 to the right: span is increased.
Rotate P2 to the left: span is reduced.
5. The loop amplication of the positioner is set via potentiometer P4.
Trim the gain so that the actuator will not swing at constant given
input value.
6. Re-check zero and span settings.
SETTING AND STARTUP OF POSITION TRANSMITTER 420MA
Verify the electronic connection of the position transmitter. Both LED’s are then light up.
Adjusting the Start of the Measuring Range (4 mA)
7. Move the actuator to the starting position.
8. Press push-button S1 "Cong Output 4mA“ longer than 2 seconds. During this time, LED 1lights up. After 2seconds, both
LED’s light up again and the value for 4 mA is stored.
Adjusting the End of the Measuring Range (20mA)
9. Move the actuator to the end position.
10. Press push-button S2 "Cong Output 20 mA“ longer than 2 seconds. During this time, LED 2lights up. After 2seconds,
both LED’s light up again and the value for 20 mA is stored.
