Zero Adjustment Based on Actual Level During Liquid Level Measurement
To adjust the zero point while they liquid level is being measured, without actually draining the 
liquid to the zero level, it is possible to make adjustment using an output value correlated with the 
actual level as measured by a level gauge (etc.). In conjunction with this operation manual, see the 
operation manuals for the respective communicators.

3-8  Zero/Span Adjustment Based on Range-Equivalent Input Pressure
By applying the pressure corresponding to the desired range to the transmitter, the lower range 
value (LRV, the input pressure during 0% output) and upper range value (the input pressure during 
100% output) can be set to values that correspond to the actual pressure. The lower range value 
and upper range value are automatically set using the desired liquid level or input pressure, and 
the zero/span adjustment can be completed. In conjunction with this operation manual, see the 
operation manuals for the respective communicators.

(1) Notes for Zero Adjustment
When performing zero adjustment in a case where the upper range value will exceed the upper 
sensor limit (USL), note that there are differences in behavior between HART 5 and HART 7.
-   HART5 
The present liquid level or input pressure is set as the lower range value. The upper range value is 
set while maintaining the span unchanged.
-   HART7 
The present liquid level or input pressure is set as the lower range value. The upper range value is 
cut off at the upper sensor limit. Since the new upper range value may not be appropriate, change 
it as necessary.
