OPERATING DISTANCE SELECTION
The maximum operating distance is based on installing the con-
trol in a relatively clean environment. Normal industrial environment
actually ranges from moderately Dusty to extremely Dirty.
Greater operating margin (excess gain) may be required, which
can be obtained by reducing the operating distance of the control.

CALIBRATION PROCEDURES
Before starting the calibration procedures for Analog Output or
Setpoint Output, be sure the control is at the same temperature as it’s
environment; it adjusts after approximately 15 minutes. Setpoint Cal-
ibration is best performed after calibration of the Analog Output has
been completed.
