CALIBRATION
The following text details the calibration procedures of the position
transmitter options. There are two procedures for calibration; one for
the potentiometric option (AV
1 ) and another for the four to 20
milliamp option (AV
2 ).
Calibrating the Potentiometric Position Transmitter
The following text provides a calibration example using the potentio-
metric position transmitter. This example can be used as a guide for
other applications. Final calibration of the potentiometric position
transmitter option depends on the application. Field connections to
the potentiometer are shown on a label located inside the positioner
cover, and is shown in Figure
The nomenclature and terminal connections of Figure
are
described as follows:
AV23
The positive (+) and negative (-) connections at position TB1-4 and
TB1-5 refer to the four to 20 milliamp signal to the I/P converter.
AV33
The positive (+) and negative (-) connections at position TB1-4 and
TB1-5 refer to the four to 20 milliamp signal to the servo assembly.
AV44
The positive (+) and negative (-) connections at position TB1-1 and
TB1-2 refer to the output signal from the four to 20 milliamp position
transmitter. The connections at TB1-3, TB1-4 and TB1-5 go to the
servo assembly.
AV
1
Depicts the connections for the potentiometric position transmitter
option (not available on Type AV44 positioners).
AV
2
The positive (+) and negative (-) connections at position TB1-1 and
TB1-2 refer to the output signal from the four to 20 milliamp position
transmitter.
