3.7 Configuration of Zero and Span Procedures

The ZERO and SPAN Buttons are under the transmitter’s
nameplate. The ZERO, SPAN, ZERO TRIM, ZERO ADJ, Units,
Range, Dampening, LCD and decimal set functions are configurable
using the ZERO / SPAN buttons. 

Zero/Span Configuration Process

Remove both name plate screws on the upper part of transmitter. 
Remove top name plate to access the Zero and Span Buttons. 
(following Figure 3-4)
1. Zero Configurations

Set the current process value for Lower Range Value (4 mA).
Apply zero pressure for 10 seconds and push the Zero Button 
for 5 seconds. The LCD should display “Zero”. Push the Zero 
button for 3 seconds, after 1 second the LCD should display 
“-ZE-”. This message means the zero configuration is 
finished. If the zero configuration failed, the LCD will display 
“SPEr” or “SEtE”, try repeating the zero configuration steps.

2. Span Configurations

Apply the desired pressure for 10 seconds and push the Span 
Button for 5 seconds. The LCD should display “Span”. Push 
the Span button for 3 seconds, after 1 second the LCD should 
display “-SP-”. This message means that the span 
configuration is finished. If the span configuration failed the 
LCD will display “SPEr” or “SEtE”, try repeating the span 
configuration steps.

• Please refer to Appendix 1 for the button error and LCD display 

message.
The other functions supported by the ZERO / SPAN Buttons are 
below. 

[Menu Tree for Zero+Span Button Function]
1. Moving between menus: Zero
2. Enter or moving to sub menu: Span
3. Moving to top menu: Zero+Span

Press the button for 3 seconds to execute each function. After
3 seconds press the Zero+Span buttons, the LCD display 
will change from Menu to Trim. To see the next menu, press 
the Zero button for 3 seconds. Use the Zero button to move 
down the directory. 

Use the Span button to select the displayed menu. The same
procedure will be used for the sub menus.

Caution: 30 seconds without any action, the button function will
return to normal operation. 

4. How to select a numerical value

A Functions use numerical values: 12 Zero Adjustment, 22 

Change Upper Range Value, 23 Change Lower Range Value, 
24 Dampening Second

B How to select numerical value: First, select an increasing rate

(10

n

), then change each decimal value to increase or 

decrease as wanted. For example, select 3810 : Select 
increasing rate 1000 -> Increase 3 times -> Select 
increasing rate 100 -> Increase 8 times -> Select 
increasing rate as 10 -> Increase 1 time

C To select the increase / decrease steps: SelInc message will 
be displayed on the bottom of the LCD. Select parameter and  

press the Zero button : The decimal value will be changed 
when the Zero button is pressed. After set, press the span 
button to execute the parameter.

D To set the required values using Zero/Span buttons: VALUE 

message will be displayed on the bottom of the LCD. 

1. Press the Zero button, the menu will increase 1 item.
2. Press the Span button, the menu will decrease 1 item.
3. After setting, save the parameter by pressing the 

Zero+Span buttons.

E To set the final value, repeat C and D.
F

After setting the final parameter, exit the menu by pressing the 
Zero+Span buttons. 

5. Exercises for each function

ZERO TRIM

1. Access the menu by pressing the Zero+Span buttons.
2. Move to the sub directory using the Span button until the 

1 TRIM message appears on the display.

3. Change the Zero Trim Function by using the Span button

until the 11 Z-TRIM message appears on the display.

ZERO ADJUSTMENT : Change the PV value to 14

1. Exit the menu by pressing the Zero+Span button. 
2. Moving thru the sub directory using the Span button 

until 1 TRIM message appears. 

3. Moving thru the sub directory using the Zero button 

until 11 Z-TRIM message appears.

4. Access the Zero Adjustment function by pressing the  

Span button until the 12 Z-ADJ messages appears.

5. When the SelInc message appears, press the Zero button 

repetitively until the 10.0 message appears on the LCD. 
Set the value by pressing the Span button.

6. When VALUE message appears, change the LCD value 

to 10.0 and press the Zero button, then press the 
Zero+Span buttons.

7. When Sellnc message appears, change the LCD value to 

1.0 and press the Zero button, then set the value and 

press the Span button. Press the Zero+Span buttons after 

the LCD value changes to 14.0.

8. To save the settings, press the Zero+Span buttons until 

the SelInc message appears. 

CHANGE UNITS

1. Access the menu by pressing the Zero+Span buttons.
2. Moving to next menu by pressing the Zero button until the 

1 TRIM message appears. 

3. Moving thru the sub directory press the Span button until 

the 2 SETUP message appears.

4. Press the Span button to access 21 UNIT, press Span 

again to access Change Unit.

5. Save the values by pressing the Span button when the 

desired value is displayed on the LCD.
