3. Test the TPS output.
a) Attach a frequency counter, oscilloscope, digital multimeter (DMM), or digital voltmeter (DVM)
to the TPS output loop.
b) Compare the reading to the Sensor Time Period process variable at your meter.
Postrequisites
•
If the mA Output readings are within 200 microamps of each other, you can correct this discrepancy by
trimming the output.
•
If the discrepancy between the mA Output readings is greater than 200 microamps, or if at any step the
reading was faulty, verify the wiring between the transmitter and the remote device, and try again.
•
If the Discrete Output readings are reversed, check the setting of
Discrete Output Polarity
.
•
If the TPS output readings do not match, contact customer service.
14.6.3 Perform loop tests using a field communicator
Prerequisites
Before performing a loop test, configure the channels for the transmitter inputs and outputs that will be used
in your application.
Follow appropriate procedures to ensure that loop testing will not interfere with existing measurement and
control loops.
