1. Adjust the zero: With 0 inH
2
O applied to the transmitter, turn the
Zero adjustment until the transmitter reads 4 mA.
2. Adjust the span: Apply 100 inH

O to the transmitter high side
connection. Turn the Span adjustment until the transmitter output
reads 20 mA.
3. Check to assure desired outputs are achieved and repeat steps 1
and 2 if necessary.

Calibration (SI Units)
Range 2 for a calibration of 0 to 24,9 kPa (24,9 kPa span)
1. Adjust the zero: With 0 kPa applied to the transmitter, turn the Zero
adjustment until the transmitter reads 4 mA.
2. Adjust the span: Apply 24,9 kPa to the transmitter high side
connection. Turn the Span adjustment until the transmitter output
reads 20 mA.
3. Check to assure desired outputs are achieved and repeat steps 1
and 2 if necessary.
Elevated or Suppressed Zero
Calibration Procedure
The easiest way to calibrate a 3150 Series pressure transmitter with
an elevated or suppressed zero is to perform a zero-based calibration
and then elevate or suppress the zero by adjusting the zero
adjustment screw and, if necessary, the Coarse Zero Select Jumper.
NOTE
For large amounts of elevation or suppression, it may be necessary to
reposition the Coarse Zero Select Jumper. Procedures for re-
positioning the jumper are described in the Coarse Zero Select
Jumper Position Selection Procedure.
Figures 3-5 and 3-6 contain examples of calibrating a transmitter with
Zero Elevated and Suppressed zeros. Figures 3-5a and 3-6a use
English units (inH
2
O) while Figures 3-5b and 3-6b use SI units (kPa)
