Overview
Simulation of Current (4 - 20 mA)
The transmitter can be used as a simulator of a current between 4 - 20 mA.
This can be done in P110 with the push buttons
h
and
i
.
The user can perform a current simulation (Curr) or a pressure simulation (Unit).
Current-simulation (Curr)
To perform a current-simulation follow the next steps:
1. Push [PROG] until “100” is shown on the display.
2. Push
h
/ SPAN 10 times until “110” appears on the display.
3. Confirm with [PROG].
4. The display will readout ‘Curr’
5. Confirm with [PROG].
6. The display shows ‘4.00’. Push [PROG] and the output changes to 4.00 mA.
7. By pushing
h
/ SPAN or
i
/ ZERO, you can change the value on the display. The output value will change as soon as
the
h
/ SPAN OR
i
/ ZERO button is released.
8. Pressing the [PROG]-button again will exit the simulation.
Pressure-simulation (Unit)
To perform a pressure-simulation follow the next steps:
1. Push [PROG] until “100” is shown on the display.
2. Push
h
/ SPAN 10 times until “110” appears on the display.
3. Confirm with [PROG].
4. The display will readout ‘Curr’
5. Press
h
/ SPAN once
6. The display will readout ‘Unit’.
7. Confirm with [PROG].
8. The display shows a pressure value. Push [PROG] and the output changes to a mA-output corresponding with the
range entered in menu P101 and P102.
9. By pushing
h
/ SPAN or
i
/ ZERO, you can change the value on the display. The output value will change as soon as
the
h
/ SPAN OR
i
/ ZERO button is released.
10. Pressing the [PROG]-button again will exit the simulation.
Note:
• The values that can be entered using the pressure-simulation are related to the adjustments in menu P101 and P102.
These values are also the minimum and maximum values.
• For HART-transmitters: this menu will not work when the device is operating in multi-drop mode.
