1. Procedure to open the housing
Carefully insert a proper screwdriver tip into the side slots. By pressing

inward and rotating, the plastic locker will release.
Gently pull out the unit's front panel.

To close the unit, insert the printed
circuit board in the proper side guiding
slots and push it all the way until
the front panel clicks with the body box.

2. Calibration instructions

2.1 Switch Setting
Inside the enclosure are located six DIP switches for coarse range, and two

multiturn trimmers are located on the transmitter panel for fine tuning.
a.

Define the desired range limits:
Tmin - the temperature at which the output
current is 4mA.
Tmax - the temperature at which the output
current is 20mA.
Tspan - the difference between Tmax and Tmin.

b.

Open the transmitter according to para. #1.
According to the following tables, set switches

c.

no. 4 to 6 for the Zero (Tmin), and set switches
1 to 3 for the Span (Tspan).

Note: "1" represent the switch "ON" state.

3. High accuracy DVM

4. Small screwdriver

Connect the transmitter to be calibrated according to Fig #3.
a. Set the Pt­b. Adjust with the Zero trimmer to obtain

an output current of 4.000mA.
c. Set the Pt­d. Adjust the Span trimmer to obtain an

output current of 20.000mA.
e. Repeat steps a. to d. until satisfactory

results are achieved.
