START-UP AND CALIBRATION
6.2.5 Temp Slope
1. Press NEXT to enter the tEMP SLOPE menu.
The correct temperature slope must be entered into the transmitter to ensure an acceptable process variable measure-
ment under fluctuating process temperature conditions. Enter the slope in measured conductivity units per degree tem-
perature change using the IRC’s arrow keys. Press ENTER to enter the slope into memory; then press EXIT to return
to the main screen.
2. If the temperature slope of the process is not known but you wish to approximate it, refer to the following guide and press
ENTER to proceed on to tEMP SLOPE sub-menu with flashing prompt. Utilize the IRC editing keys to generate the
desired slope value. Press ENTER then EXIT to return to the main screen.
Acids: 1.0 to 1.6% per °C
Bases: 1.8 to 2.2% per °C
Salts: 2.2 to 3.0% per °C
Water: 2.0% per °C
6.2.6 Output Cal
Although the transmitter outputs are calibrated at the factory, they can
be trimmed in the field to match the reading from a standard current
meter. Both the 4 mA and the 20 mA outputs can be trimmed. During
output calibration the transmitter is in Hold. The output current will go
to the value programmed in Section 7.2.
PROCEDURE
1. Wire an accurate milliammeter as shown in Figure 6-2.
2. Press CAL on the remote controller.
3. Press NEXT until the OUtPUt CAL submenu appears. Press ENTER.
4. Use the arrow keys to change the display to match the reading from the mil-
liammeter. Press ENTER.
5. Use the arrow keys to change the display to match the reading from the mil-
liammeter. Press ENTER. Press RESET to return to the main display.
