Shunt Calibration
Shunt Calibration provides a customer accessible
connection which, when applied, causes a shift
in output of 80% FS in order to simulate applied
pressure. It is fitted to the mV, Configurable 4-wire
and Configurable 3-wire versions as standard. It is
not available with DIN, M12 x 1 or M20 x 1.5 electrical
connectors (options 7, D, G and R).
Shunt calibration is activated in different ways
depending on the electrical connector and version:
• mV versions: connect Shunt Cal to -ve Supply
or where available, connect both Shunt Cal
connections together.
• Configurable 4-wire and Configurable 3-wire
versions: connect Shunt Cal to -ve Output or, where
available, connect both Shunt Cal connections
together.
Note: Not available with reverse output.

each direction separately.
