266CRH / 266CRT, 266CSH / 266CST MULTIVARIABLE PRESSURE TRANSMITTER  |  OI/266CXX/MODBUS-EN REV. A  37 
 
Setting precalibrated devices 
 
Note 
266Cxx transmitters do not support this function if the ‘Level 
measurement’ calculation function has been activated. In this 
case, the correction must be made using the optional LCD 
indicator or the DTM. 
•  For this purpose, the DIP switch on the electronics board 
must be set to position ‘0’, see DIP switches on the 
secondary electronics on page 38. 
 
A PV Bias / Offset correction can be performed via the local push 
buttons as follows: 
1. Separate the transmitter from the process and equalize 
the pressure in the two measuring chambers by adjusting 
the bypass valve in the manifold. 
2. Check the transmitter output signal: 
•  If it is PV = 0, zero point correction is not required. 
•  If the output is not at zero, proceed as follows: 
3. Unscrew the screws attaching the name plate to the top 
of the transmitter housing. 
4. Rotate the name plate so that the push buttons can be 
accessed. 
5. Check that the write protection rotary switch is set to 
write enable. 
6. Press and hold down the zero button (Z) on the top of the 
transmitter for at least 3 seconds. 
•  The output signal switches to PV = 0 and the message 
‘OPER DONE’ appears on the LCD display (if there is one). 
•  If nothing happens, check the write protection rotary 
switch. 
  It is probably set to write protection. For all other 
diagnosis notices, refer to the instructions. 
7. As soon as zero point correction is complete, reconnect 
the transmitter to the process. 
8. Open the pressure equalization valve on the manifold. 
9. Open the shut-off valve of high-pressure side. 
10.Open the pressure equalization valve on the manifold. 
11. Open the shut-off valve on the low-pressure side.

The write protection prevents unauthorized users from 
overwriting the configuration data. 
•  With activated write protection the operating buttons 
‘0% (Z)’ and ‘100 % (S)’ have no function. 
•  A change of parameters with the integral LCD indicator, via a 
handheld terminal, or the user interface (DTM) are not 
possible either. 
However, the configuration data can be read out via the graphic 
user interface (DTM) or a comparable communication tool. If 
needed the operating device can also be sealed with a lead seal. 
 
Write protection can be activated as follows (see also the 
symbols on the plate). 
1. Remove the nameplate by releasing the holding screw lying 
on the bottom left corner 
2. Use a suitable screwdriver to press the switch all the way 
down. 
3.  Turn the switch 90° clockwise. 
 
Note 
To deactivate write protection, press the switch down slightly 
and then turn it counterclockwise 90°. 
 
 
Note 
The product has an ABB service account that can be disabled 
with this write protection switch.
