8.1 Factory settings 
Transmitters are calibrated at the factory to the customer’s 
specified measuring range. The calibrated range is provided on 
the name plate whereas the tag number on the additional tag 
plate. The calibrated range and tag number are provided on the 
name plate. If this data has not been specified, the transmitter 
will be delivered with the following configuration: 
Parameter Factory setting
Lower Range Value (LRV) (1V) Zero
Upper Range Value (URV) (5V) Upper Range Limit (URL)
Output transfer function Linear
Damping 1 second
Transmitter failure (alarm) Upscale (5.4V)
Optional LCD HMI scale 1 line PV
Important. Every configurable parameters listed here above can 
easily be modified with an HART handheld terminal running proper 
EDD file. Information regarding materials, filling liquid type, etc. is 
stored inside the non-volatile memory of the device. 
8.2 Configuration types
Pressure transmitters can be configured as follows:
  — Configuration of the parameters for the lower and upper   
    range values via LCD keys.
  — Configuration with a handheld terminal
8.3 Configuring the transmitter with LCD keys
The “lower range value” and “span” parameters can be set 
directly on the transmitter using the LCD keys.
The transmitter has been calibrated by the manufacturer based 
on the order information. The tag plate contains information on 
the “lower range value” and “upper range value” set. In general, 
the following applies:
The first pressure value (e.g., 0 mbar) is always assigned to the 
1V signal (or 0%), while the second pressure value (e.g., 400 
mbar) is always assigned to the 5V signal (or 100%). To change 
the transmitter ranging apply the pressure for the “lower range 
value” and “upper range value” to the measuring equipment. 
Make sure that the measuring limits are not exceeded.
Important. Reducing station with adjustable pressure and 
reference displays can be used as pressure generators. 
When making the connection, please ensure that there are no 
residual fluids (for gaseous testing materials) or air bubbles (for fluid 
testing materials) in the impulse lines, since these can lead to errors 
during inspection. Any potential measuring error for the pressure 
generator should be at least three times smaller than the desired 
measuring error for the transmitter. It is recommended that the 
damping is set to 1 second.
8.4 LRV and URV configuration (1 ... 5 V ranging)
  — Apply the lower range value for pressure (1 V) from the    
    process or from a pressure generator. The pressure must  
    be stable and applied with a high level of accuracy    
    << 0.05 % (observing the set damping value).
  — Remove instrument windowed cover.
  — Press “Z” LCD key for two seconds to set the output    
    signal to 1 V. Operator will be asked about proceeding    
    with the operation in progress. By depressing “Yes” a    
    small screwdriver icon will appear on the bottom of the    
    LCD. A confirmation string (“Oper Done”) will be shown on  
    device main screen on button release (for additional string  
    messages, refer to section ”8.6 HMI as feedback of the    
    local push button operations”). The span will remain    
  unchanged.
  — Apply the pressure for the “upper range value” and wait    
    approx. 30 s until it has stabilized.
  — Press “S” LCD key to set the output current to 5V and    
    adjust the Span. As described above, operator will be    
    asked about proceeding with the operation in progress. A  
    confirmation message will be shown at the end of Span    
  adjustment. 
  — Record the new settings. The respective parameter will be  
    stored in the non-volatile memory 20 seconds after the    
    confirmation has been given.
