15.16 Trim mA Output
Trimming an mA Output calibrates the transmitter's mA Output to the receiving device. If the current trim
value is inaccurate, the transmitter will under-compensate or over-compensate the output.
15.16.1 Trim an mA Output using the display
Trimming the mA Output establishes a common measurement range between the transmitter and the device
that receives the mA Output.
Prerequisites
Ensure that the mA Output is wired to the receiving device that will be used in production.
Procedure
1. Choose
Menu
>
Service Tools
>
mA Output Trim
and select the output to trim.
2. Follow the instructions in the guided method.
3. Check the trim results. If any trim result is less than
−
20 microamps or greater than +20 microamps,
contact customer service.
15.16.2 Trim mA Output using ProLink III
Trimming the mA Output establishes a common measurement range between the transmitter and the device
that receives the mA Output.
Prerequisites
Ensure that the mA Output is wired to the receiving device that will be used in production.
Procedure
1. Follow the instructions in the guided method.
2. Check the trim results. If any trim result is less than
−
20 microamps or greater than +20 microamps,
contact customer service.
15.16.3 Trim mA outputs using the Field Communicator
Trimming the mA Output establishes a common measurement range between the transmitter and the device
that receives the mA Output.
Prerequisites
Ensure that the mA Output is wired to the receiving device that will be used in production.
Procedure
1. Follow the instructions in the guided method.
2. Check the trim results. If any trim result is less than
−
20 microamps or greater than +20 microamps,
