You check the measured value limits.
•
Simulate various measured values and statuses.
•
You check the measuring accuracy that must be in the range of ± 2% for the safety
function.
–
You check the zero point, e.g. in a pressure-less state, for gauge and differential
pressure.
–
You check the zero point, e.g. with a defined pressure, for absolute pressure.
