Reference accuracy example (HART only)
When using a Pt 100 (= 0.00385) sensor input with a 0 to 100 °C span: Digital Accuracy would
be ±0.10 °C, D/A accuracy would be ±0.02% of 100 °C or ±0.02 °C, Total = ±0.12 °C.
Differential capability exists between any two sensor types
(dual-sensor option)
For all differential configurations, the input range is X to Y where:
X = Sensor 1 minimum – Sensor 2 maximum and
Y = Sensor 1 maximum – Sensor 2 minimum.
Digital accuracy for differential configurations (dual-sensor
option, HART only)
Sensor types are similar (e.g., both RTDs or both T/Cs): Digital Accuracy = 1.5 times
worst case accuracy of either sensor type.
Sensor types are dissimilar (e.g., one RTD, one T/C): Digital Accuracy = Sensor 1
Accuracy + Sensor 2 Accuracy.

(1) No minimum or maximum span restrictions within the input ranges. Recommended minimum span will hold noise within accuracy specification with damping at zero
seconds.
(2) Digital accuracy: Digital output can be accessed by the Field Communicator.
(3) Enhanced accuracy can be ordered using the P8 Model Code.
(4) Total Analog accuracy is the sum of digital and D/A accuracies.
(5) Applies to HART / 4-20 mA devices.
(6) Total digital accuracy for thermocouple measurement: sum of digital accuracy +0.25 °C (0.45 °F) (cold junction accuracy).
