The LED will continue blinking red after 8 s if

• the signal output is negative (< -20 mV) when the final pres-

sure has been attained

• the zero adjustment has failed.

4.4.2

<ZERO> Adjustment with Ramp Function

The ramp function allows to adjust the zero at a known reference
pressure within the measurement range of the gauge.

It also permits to adjust an offset of the characteristic curve in
order to
• compensate for the offset of the measuring system or
• obtain a slightly positive zero for a 0 … 10 V AD converter.
The offset should not exceed 2% of the F.S. (+200 mV). At a
higher positive offset, the upper limit of the measurement range
is exceeded.

Zero adjustment using the ramp function can be

performed via
• the button on the gauge,
• the diagnostic port (→  [3]),
• the RS232 interface (→  [2], [3]),
• the Ethernet interface (→  [1], [4]),
• the wireless network (→  [1], [4]).

Operate the gauge for at least 90 minutes under constant

ambient conditions (until the signal is stable).

Push the button with a pin (max. ø1.1 mm) and

keep it depressed. The LED starts blinking.
After 5 s, the zero adjustment value, starting at the current
output value, keeps continually changing (ramp) until the
button is released or until the setting limit (max. 25% F.S.)
is reached. The corresponding output signal is delayed by
about 1 s.
