Example of an application
The
current is to be measured as a voltage drop from 1 to 5 V at a resistance of 250 Ohm +/-
5%. To trim the tolerance of the resistance, set the current transmitter so that the voltage drop
at 4 mA is exactly 1 V and at 20 mA is exactly 5 V.
● Trim at 4 mA:
Use the current transmitter trim menu option to instruct the transmitter to output 4 mA. Read
the measured value at an ammeter and input it. The transmitter uses this value for offset
correction of the current.
● Trim at 20 mA:
Use the current transmitter trim menu option to instruct the transmitter to output 20 mA.
Read the measured value at an ammeter and input it. The transmitter uses this value for
gradient correction of the current. The value for 4 mA is not affected by this.
Note
If a multimeter is used, it must always be sufficiently accurate.
