OPERATION
The transmitter is perfectly factory-calibrated with standardized sensors, not
requiring any adjustment by the user.
The sensor offset can be also changed through the TxConfig software. The
USB connection can be made even with the transmitter connected to the
process and operating without causing errors in the measurement. See item
Zero Correction in the chapter CONFIGURATION of this guideline.
The uer must choose the most suitable sensor and range to the process. The
chosen range must not exceed the maximum range of measurement defined
for the sensor and should not be smaller than the minimum range for the
same sensor.
It is important to note that the accuracy of the transmitter is always based on
the maximum range of the sensor used, even when a mid-range was set.
Example:
•
The sensor Pt100 has a max. range of –200 to +650 °C and total
accuracy of 0.2 %, thus we can have an absolute error up to 1.7 °C (
0.2 % of 850 °C).
•
The absolute error is the same for a wide range as the maximum (-
200 to 650 ° C), to a narrower band User-defined. (For example: 0 to
100 °C.)
Note: When measurements are made at the transmitter, see if the Pt100
excitation current required by the calibrator is compatible with the Pt100
excitation current used in the transmitter: 0.17 mA.
