NOTES:
THIS EQUIVALENT CIRCUIT IS TYPICAL FOR ALL TYPES OF TRANSMITTERS.
GENERALLY, IF A PORTION OF THE CIRCUIT IS NOT USED, IT IS OMITTED.
RECEIVING DEVICE MAY BE ANALOG CURRENT INPUT TO DISTRIBUTED CONTROL SYSTEM,
PROGRAMMABLE LOGIC CONTROLLER OR INDICATING DEVICE. INDICATING DEVICE CAN BE A
VOLTMETER ACROSS 250 OHM RESISTOR OR A CURRENT METER.
FIELD WIRING FOR POSITION SWITCHING CIRCUITS CAN BE A TWO OR THREE WIRE SYSTEM
DEPENDING ON THE APPLICATION REQUIREMENTS.
SEPARATE RETURN REQUIRED FOR RELAYS. RETURN WIRE MUST BE CONNECTED EVEN IF
RELAY OUTPUTS ARE NOT USED.

Figure 9. Transmitter Operation
3. Apply power to the instrument.
4. Ensure that the low position switch potentiometer
(LOW, R6, figure 5) is fully counterclockwise as
previously instructed.
5. Turn the low position switch potentiometer (R6)
slowly clockwise until the low position switch trips,
the ohmmeter changes from a high to a low
resistance reading.
6. The low position switch is now set.
Setting the Low Position Switch
Deadband
1. Slowly stroke the actuator or device between the
tripped and reset point of the low position switch.
Observe this by the changing readings on the
ohmmeter. Note the differences in travel between
the trip point and reset points. This is the deadband
of the low position switch.
2. If necessary, increase the deadband, by turning
potentiometer (DBL, R5, figure 5) clockwise.
3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 until the desired deadband
setting is obtained.
4. If adjustments are complete, remove power from
the instrument and disconnect the ohmmeter.
5. Perform the installation and/or operating
procedures to place the transmitter in service and
replace the transmitter covers.
Position Switch Circuit Shutoff
Refer to figure 5 for location of adjustments.
Certain conditions may require the position switch
circuit capabilities to be shut off. To shut off the
