• Defective 

sensor.

•  Correct sensor wiring.
•  Recycle power with all sensors connected.
•  Replace defective sensor.

Too much error

CHECK SENSOR

The value entered in Set Pressure 

fi

 eld is 

greater than 5 psi deviation from sensor 
input. (The 8450 allows a maximum of
5 psi calibration offset.).

• Con

fi

 rm calibration values.

•  Remove sensor from installation, check 

8450 reading (should be zero). If necessary, 
Set Pressure to zero, reinstall sensor, then 
recalibrate.

Reset to Factory

Calibration

Value in SET PRESSURE 

fi

 eld is -999.

Entering "-999" in this 

fi
