INPUT & OUTPUT SETUP
G
Select your input and output options.
NB: Changing the input
type (ie. from RTD to T/C)
will clear the Input Zero
Adjust calibration value,
if applied (see step 10).
Click Program to write
the new changes to the

See Appendix A for information on errors & other
dialogues that may appear during programming.
TEST
H
This panel shows the
current input and output
values, and a short
duration trend graph of
the output.

When the transmitter is
only powered by the USB
connection (i.e. 4-20mA
output is not connected),
a live input reading will
be displayed the output
reading will be marked
‘Disconnected’.
Do not adjust the zero pot on the transmitter unless
advised by the manufacturer. This will upset factory
output calibration, and will not in uence the test
panel.
COMMS
I
This panel shows TX and
RX message counts, indicating good communications with the unit.
INPUT ZERO ADJUST
J
This panel allows you to apply an o set calibration value
to the input. Click Calibrate to begin calibration.
The following dialogue will appear. Use a positive value
to increase the input reading, and a negative value to
decrease the input reading.
7
The input can only be calibrated when a correct input
signal is applied. Adjustments can be made from -10.0
to +10.0°C, and 0.1 is the smallest increment that can
be used.
Click OK to write the change to the transmitter. The
display will show ‘Waiting’, and then ‘Input Updated’.
Click Close to exit the calibration screen. (It is not

Calibration information is also stored in a text le on
your computer and can be accessed by clicking Logs, or
by navigating to the folder: My Documents/TM Setup/
cal serialnumber.txt
If you change the input type (i.e. from RTD to T/C), the
calibration value will be cleared. Changing the range
scaling does not clear the calibration.
See Appendix B for information on errors & other
dialogues that may appear during zero adjustment.
