Pneumatic Transmitters Calibration Procedure
PT - Pressure Transmitter
1. Check the PT (Pressure Transmitter) Diagram.
2. Make the necessary connections (verify that they are well connected before
energizing).
3. Apply a 20 psi power supply.
4. With Variable Zero the transmitter should give an output signal of 3 Psi if not, adjust
by the Zero screw (Represented in the picture as a). Out 3 Psi.
5. Then 100% of the variable is generated, the output signal should be 15 Psi, otherwise
it is adjusted by the Span wheel (Represented in the image as a). Out 15 Psi.
6. Repeat the steps until the transmitter is calibrated.
Electronic Transmitter Re-configuration Procedure
PT-E (Electronic Pressure Transmitter)
1. Regulate the power supply to 24V DC.
2. Rectify with the multimeter that it is delivering 24V DC.
3. Check the PT-E Diagram ( Electronic Pressure Transmitter ).
4. Make the connections (with the power supply off).
5. Verify that everything is properly connected.
6. Apply 24V DC power supply .
7. With variable Zero the transmitter should give us an output signal of 4 mA otherwise it
is adjusted by the Zero setting. Out 4 mA.
8. Then 100% of the variable is generated, the output signal must be 20 mA otherwise it
is adjusted by the Span setting. Out 20 mA.
9. Repeat the steps until the transmitter is Re-configured.
Level Transmitter Calibration Procedure
LT
1. To calibrate a level transmitter, you can follow the steps outlined in the search results.
The procedure may vary depending on the type of level transmitter, but here are some
general steps to follow:
2. Prepare the installation site: Ensure the tank or container is clean and free from any
residue that could affect measurement accuracy.
3. Mount the radar level transmitter: Securely affix the transmitter to a suitable location
using appropriate brackets and fasteners. Ensure it is positioned vertically or as per
the manufacturer's guidelines.
4. Connect power and signal cables: Carefully connect the power and signal cables to
their designated terminals. Adhere to safety standards and guidelines while handling
electrical connections.
5. Grounding and earthing: Ensure proper grounding and earthing of the radar level
transmitter to maintain electrical safety.
6. Set the zero reference point: Set the zero reference point by aligning it with the empty
vessel. This ensures accurate measurements even when the tank is empty
7. Introduction of calibration liquid: Gradually fill the tank with a calibration liquid,
ensuring a steady and known flow rate. Allow the instrument to stabilize and record
the measurements at various levels.
8. Configure the transmitter: Use the recorded measurements to configure the
transmitter settings. Adjust the span, damping, and other calibration parameters
based on the specifications provided by the manufacturer.
9. Verify and fine-tune: After initial calibration, double-check the measurements by
introducing the calibration liquid once more. Fine-tune the settings as necessary to
achieve maximum accuracy
Calibration of temperature measurement devices
The simplest way to calibrate a temperature sensor is to check how the device reads the
temperature of two physical constants: the melting point of ice and the boiling point of
water (although the latter has to be corrected for atmospheric pressure).
The Procedure for calibrating Temperature Sensors consists of comparing a Standard with
the Temperature Sensor by making several measurement points in its range of use and
repeating the first one again at the end to determine the repeatability error of the
Temperature Sensor.
