8. Adjustment of zero point
8. Adjustment of zero point
The UHP-Transducers are maintenance free. The transducer is factory calibrated and does not normally
EN
need field adjustment.
WARNING!
For equipment with Ex nA ic and Ex ec ic certification, or if operated under nA ic or ec ic
conditions: Do not separate when energised.
For verification and adjustment of the zero point, vent the transducer to zero (0)PSI for gauge reference
transducers. Use a 0.040" to 0.060" (1 to 1.5 mm) jeweler's screwdriver for adjustment.
For instruments with absolute pressure measuring ranges or +/- measuring ranges, a
■
sufficient calibration equipment as well as a vacuum pump are also necessary for the
zero point adjustment.
Span adjustment is not necessary after zero point correction.

Procedure
1. Restore power to the transducer.
2. Lift the sticker.
3. Adjust the zero point by means of the potentio-
meter in pressureless state. Check the zero point
by means of a suitable instrument. Clockwise
rotation means an upward zero offset, anti-clock-
wise rotation means a downward zero offset.
4. Push the sticker on.
