electrical connection and field calibration of SOR
Transmitters. The 534CR Pressure Transmitter consists of a field-proven
ceramic pressure transducer and a reliable electronic circuit. The housing
features external adjustments and stainless steel construction.
The 534CR is capable of powering long cable lengths. See Formulas on
pages 2 and 4 for maximum loop resistance.
NOTE: This instrument is non-repairable. If you suspect that it is defective,
contact the factory or the SOR representative in your area for a return
authorization number.

Installation
Ensure that wiring conforms to all applicable local and national
electrical codes and install unit(s) according to relevant national and
local safety codes.
Normally, line mounting provides adequate support for the instrument.
When the installation is complete, the external adjustments must be
accessible. (See and p) Determine whether the process connection or the electrical
connection will be made first.

Making the Process Connection First
The process connection is threaded onto a fitting within an adequately supported process
piping system. Use two open end wrenches when connecting the pressure port to a

process piping system: one wrench to hold the hex flats of the pressure connection, the
other to tighten the process fitting. Electrical connection may be rigid or flexible conduit
Making the Electrical Connection First
The electrical connection may be installed on an adequately supported rigid conduit
system. Use suitable locknuts (not provided) when mounting the instrument to an
unthreaded (knockout) hole. Process connection pipe or tubing may be rigid or flexible.
Securely connect the conduit pipe or fitting by holding the hex on the electrical connection
while tightening.
Units in Hazardous Locations— Prior to removal from service, make sure the
work area is declassi ed. Failure to do so could result in severe personal
injury or substantial property damage.

Calibration
Two calibration screws (zero and span) are located underneath the adjustment cover. (See
) Loosen the cover screws slightly (do not remove) and rotate the cover to reveal the
adjustment screws.
Numbers on the enclosure identify the adjustment screws: 1, 2 and 3.
Adjustment #1: Zero
Adjustment #2: Span
Adjustment #3: Not used
Unless specified otherwise, the transmitter is factory calibrated to 4 mA @ 0 psi and 20 mA
at the upper limit of the adjustable range specified on the nameplate.
The zero and span calibration procedure should be performed under ambient process
temperature conditions.
A pressure source with a calibrated reference gage, a milliammeter and a DC voltage
supply are required. Note the adjustable range on the instrument nameplate. For both
zero and span adjustments, turn the adjustment screw clockwise to increase,
counterclockwise to decrease.

Calibration Procedure
The zero and span calibration procedure should be performed under ambient process
temperature conditions.
A pressure source with a calibrated reference gage, a voltmeter and a DC voltage supply
are required. Note the adjustable range on the instrument nameplate. For both zero and
span adjustments, turn the adjustment screw clockwise to increase, counterclockwise to
decrease.
Connect the transmitter as shown in . Case ground must be connected to earth
ground to ensure EMI/RFI protection.
Apply pressure at which 1 VDC output is desired. (Zero may be adjusted ±10% of the
upper range limit.)
With pressure source steady at the desired zero level, rotate the zero adjustment (#1)
for a 1 VDC indication on the voltmeter.
Apply pressure at which 5 VDC output is desired. Span may be adjusted from 25 to
100% of the upper range limit. (Maximum turndown is 4:1.)
With pressure source steady at the desired span level, rotate the span adjustment
slowly (#2) for a 5 VDC indication on the voltmeter.
Repeat steps 2 through 5 as needed if offsetting 1 VDC from the normal zero point.
If interaction occurs, turn zero and span 15 turns counterclockwise. Repeat Steps 2
through 6 above.
When calibrating the 534CR, be sure to turn the adjustment magnets slowly.
If the magnets are spun too fast, damage to the unit may occur.
