11.3
Calibration
If installed as recommended in an appropriate location, used cautiously and serviced conscientiously, no troubles should
appear.
The transmitter has been calibrated at factory and, usually, a re-calibration of the transmitter is not necessary.
A re-calibration is recommended if:
• the contact surface of the transducers show visible wear or
• the transducers were used for a prolonged period at high temperatures (several months > 130 °C for normal transducers
or > 200 °C for high temperature transducers)
In order to realize a recalibration under reference conditions either the transmitter, the transducers or the transmitter with
transducers have to be sent to FLEXIM depending on which part needs to be calibrated.
