MAINTENANCE
9.1 Overview
WARNING
Since the accumulated process fluid may be
toxic or otherwise harmful, take appropriate care
to avoid contact with the body, or inhalation of
vapors during draining condensate or venting
gas in transmitter pressure-detector section and
even after dismounting the instrument from the
process line for maintenance.
Maintenance of the transmitter is easy due to its
modular construction. This chapter describes the
procedures for calibration, adjustment, and the disas-
sembly and reassembly procedures required for
component replacement.
Since the transmitters are precision instruments,
carefully and thoroughly read the following sections
for proper handling during maintenance.
IMPORTANT
• As a rule, maintenance of this transmitter
should be implemented in a maintenance
service shop where the necessary tools are
provided.
• The CPU assembly contains sensitive parts
that may be damaged by static electricity.
Exercise care so as not to directly touch the
electronic parts or circuit patterns on the board,
for example, by preventing static electrification
by using grounded wrist straps when handling
the assembly. Also take precautions such as
placing a removed CPU assembly into a bag
with an antistatic coating.
9.2 Calibration Instruments Se-
lection
Table 9.2.1 shows the instruments required for calibra-
tion. Select instruments that will enable the transmitter
to be calibrated or adjusted to the required accuracy.
The calibration instruments should be handled carefully
so as to maintain the specified accuracy.
9.3 Calibration
Use the procedure below to check instrument operation
and accuracy during periodic maintenance or trouble-
shooting.
1) Connect the instruments as shown in Figure 9.3.1
and warm up the instruments for at least five
minutes.
IMPORTANT
• To adjust the transmitter for highest accuracy,
make adjustments with the power supply
voltage and load resistance including leadwire
resistances set close to the conditions under
which the transmitter is installed.
• If the measurement range 0% point is 0 kPa or
shifted in the positive direction (suppressed
zero), the reference pressure should be applied
as shown in the figure (low pressure side open
to atmosphere). If the measurement range 0%
point is shifted in the negative direction (el-
evated zero), the reference pressure should be
applied on the low pressure side (high pressure
side open to atmosphere).
2) Apply reference pressures of 0%, 50%, and 100% of
the measurement range to the transmitter. Calculate
the errors (differences between digital voltmeter
readings and reference pressures) as the pressure is
increased from 0% to 100% and is decreased from
100% to 0%, and confirm that the errors are within
the required accuracy.
