2-10 VDC Transmitter Calibration Procedure

1.  Test Equipment

 1.1   Digital multimeter - set multimeter to read DC 

voltage.

 1.2   

Make sure Output Signal type is set to 2-10 
VDC.

2.  Interconnect wiring

 2.1  

 

Validate the power is OFF on the DC power 
supply and the Sure-Aire electronics.

 2.2  

 

Validate the multimeter is set to read DC 
voltage.

 2.3   

Interconnect the multimeter (+) probe to TB3-6.

 2.4   

Interconnect the multimeter (-) probe to TB3-7.

 2.5   

Apply power to the Sure-Aire electronics.

 2.6   

Press the “Setup” button on the touch panel 
interface.

 2.7   

Keep pressing the “Next” button until you reach 
the Transmitter Min Value screen.

 2.8   

Press “Edit”, then “Inc” or “Dec” until the digital 
multimeter reads exactly 2.00 VDC.

 2.9   

Press “Enter” to store the new value.

On the Transmitter Max Value screen, press 
“Enter”, then “Inc” or “Dec” until the digital 
multimeter reads exactly 10.00 mA.

2.12 Press “Enter” to store the new value.
2.13  Press “Exit” to return to the main screen.

The 2-10 VDC transmitter calibration is complete.

NOTE

Apply a vacuum to the Low Port and the 2-10 VDC 
transmitter to track the span of the pressure range. 
For example, the Sure-Aire electronics with a pressure 
sensor of 0 - 41.51 in. wg installed, 2 VDC = 0 in. wg, 
10 VDC = 41.52 in. wg.
