2.8.2 Rerange the transmitter
The range values command sets each of the lower and upper range analog values (4 and 20
mA/1–5 Vdc points) to a pressure. The lower range point represents 0% of range and the
upper range point represents 100% of range. In practice, the transmitter range values may
be changed as often as necessary to reflect changing process requirements. For a complete
listing of Range & Sensor limits, refer to “Functional specifications” on page 74.
Select from one of the methods below to rerange the transmitter. Each method is unique;
examine all options closely before deciding which method works best for your process.
Rerange by manually setting range points with a Field Communicator, AMS Device
Manager, or LOI.
Rerange with a pressure input source and a Field Communicator, AMS Device Manager,
LOI, or local zero and span buttons
