On-site Operation and Display
Explanations to example (Figure 11, p. 85):
A: We have a transmitter with a measuring span of 0 to 16 bar. It should be set to a
measuring span of 2 to 14 bar. A reference pressure of 11 bar is available.
B: The current to be adjusted is first calculated for the desired start of scale (2 bar)
at the applied reference pressure using the formulae (Figure 10, p. 85). The cur-
rent to be adjusted is first calculated for the desired start of scale (2 bar) at the
applied reference pressure using the formulae.
C: The current to be adjusted is first calculated for the desired full scale (14 bar) at
the applied reference pressure using the formulae (Figure 10, p. 85) and then ad-
justed (16 mA).
