Capillary Fill Fluid Density Compensa-
tion
For transmitters with diaphragm seals, this function is
used to compensate the zero shift caused by the
ambient temperature effect on the capillary tubes.
The following equation indicates the relationship
between the calculated output value and the compen-
sating constant K (%/C) with the measured ambient
temperature at the capsule module.

(1) Temperature Compensation Mode Setup
When using this function, set T.Z. Cmp mode to ON
to enable or OFF to disable. To set to ON, follow the
procedure below.

Note 1: The function is performed using a built-in temperature sensor
in the transmitter body. The temperature deviation between
the transmitter body and capillaries should be minimized to
achieve optimal performance of the function.
Note 2: When the span changes, reenter the newly obtained value of
K to Temp Zero.
