Calibrating the Meter with Strain Gauge/Load Cell (Cal)

To scale the meter without a signal source

refer to Scaling the Meter (SCALE), page 44.


The meter can be calibrated to display the process variable in
engineering units by applying the appropriate input signal and following
the calibration procedure.
The use of a calibrated signal source is strongly recommended to
calibrate the meter.

Warm up the meter for at least 15 minutes

before performing calibration to ensure

specified accuracy.


Multi-Point Calibration & Scaling
The meter is set up at the factory for 2-point linear calibration. The
number of points for multi-point calibration/scaling is set up in the
Advanced

Features menu. Up to 32 linearization points may be selected

for PV1 and up to 8 linearization points may be selected for PV2. See
page 78 for details.
