Step 12 Zero adjustment

This adjustment trims the display to
read exactly -10.0

o

C and the output

current to be exactly 4.000mA when the
type J  thermocouple is at  -10

o

C.  This

can be achieved by cooling the
thermocouple to  -10

o

C or by inputting

the voltage which the thermocouple
should theoretically produce.  If a
voltage is used the transmitter cold
junction compensation (see section
5.3.4) should be turned off during the
calibration, or the input voltage should
be corrected for ambient temperature,
although this may be less accurate.

With the transmitter displaying the
'ZEro' prompt and the correct input
connected to the transmitter, push 

P

which will cause the transmitter to
display the thermocouple temperature.
Adjust the display with the 

Up

 and

Down

 buttons until it is -10.0   

Note:  Immediately the 

Up

 or 

Down

button is operated the annunicator in the
top left hand corner of the display will
be activated to warn that any change in
the input signal will be ignored while this
display correction is being made.  

Operating the  

 push-button will lock

the transmitter display at -10.0

 

and

allow the output current to be trimmed
using the 

Up

 or 

Down

 button.  When the

output current measured by a DVM is
4.000mA, the 

E

 push-button should be

operated to return the transmitter to the
'ZEro' prompt.
This completes calibration at -10.0

o

C.

Step 13 Span adjustment

With the transmitter displaying the
'ZEro' prompt select 'SPAn' by pressing
the 

Up

 or 

Down

 button.  With the

thermocouple heated to 240

o

C, or an

equivalent voltage input, push 

P

 which

will cause the transmitter to display the
thermocouple temperature. Adjust the
display with the 

Up

 and 

Down

 buttons

until it is 240.0   

Note:  Immediately the 

Up

 or 

Down

button is operated the annunicator in the
top left hand corner of the display will
be activated to warn that any change in
the input signal will be ignored while this
display correction is being made.  

Operating the  

 push-button will lock

the transmitter display at 240.0

 

and

allow the output current to be trimmed
using the 

Up

 or 

Down

 button.  When the

output current measured by a DVM is
20.000mA, the 

E

 push-button should be

operated to return the transmitter to the
'SPAn' prompt.
This completes calibration at 240.0

o

C.

Pressing the 

push-button again will

return the transmitter to the display
mode.

8.  MAINTENANCE

8.1 Fault finding during commissioning

If the BA574C transmitter fails to function during
commissioning the following procedure should be
followed:

Symptom         Cause               Solution

No display

Incorrect 

Check wiring 

or output

wiring or no

and power

current

power supply

supply polarity

Check that voltage  

 between 

terminals

5 & 6 is between 10
and 30V with terminal
5 positive.

BA574C 

Positive

The transmitter input

displays 1

display

exceeds the upper 

over-range

operating range of the 
selected THC or RTD.
For voltage inputs,

calibrated.
Check calibration.

BA574C

Negative 

The transmitter input

selected THC or RTD.
For voltage inputs,
