Zero Position Adjustment Description
When adjusting the Zero Position voltage, you are
defining the transducer voltage corresponding to the
position of the zero indication on a bar graph display
(refer to the adjacent figure).
For maximum amount of zero adjustment, gap the
transducer as close as possible to the ideal zero
position voltage based on the full-scale range and
transducer scale factor. For a mid-scale zero, as in
the example, the ideal gap is the center of the range.
The tables below specify the center of the range for
each transducer and monitor type.
