Manual Configuration - Calibration

To get accurate results, do the calibration in conditions where the pressure and
temperature are stable.

Equipment

 •

A precision pressure calibrator such as the Druck DPI 605 or 
DPI 610/615. The accuracy of the supplied pressure must be better than
±0.075%.

 •

In safe areas, a 12 to 35 Volt DC power supply (separate or part of
another system).

 •

Fittings and tubing as required.

Calibration ranges

Set any span value from 1 - 100% of the URL. Refer to the 'Technical Data'
section.
