Depending on the set measuring application, the

adjustment is carried out in different ways using
transmitters with a measuring range that begin at
zero (0) Pa, eg. 0...500 Pa, or transmitters that uses
zero-crossing ranges, eg. -50...+50 Pa.

General
The measuring range can be adjusted to correct a
measuring deviation on Micaflex PD/FD ver 3.x if
the transmitter no longer remain within specifications.

Adjusting a transmitter with a measuring range

passing 0 Pa, i.e. zero-crossing.
1 Remove the pressure tubes on the transmitter and

connect a V/mA-instrument to the selected output.

If the miniature switch no 3 is in position "OFF", the
voltage output should be connected. If the miniature
switch is in position "ON" the mA-output should be
connected.

connect a V/mA-instrument to the selected output.

If the miniature switch no 3 is in position "OFF", the
voltage output should be connected. If the miniature
switch is in position "ON" the mA-output should be
connected

Take a note of how the damping is set (miniature

switch no 4 and 5) and then place both switches in
position "OFF".

Take a note of how the damping is set (miniature

switch no 4 and 5) and then place both switches in
position "OFF".

Press and keep down the zero-setting key until the

LED goes off. Release the key and the zero-adjustment is done.

Connect a pressure pump together with a reference

transmitter to the negative [-] connection.

Connect a pressure pump together with a reference

transmitter to the positive [+] connection.

Place the miniature switch no 2 in position "ON" to

activate the adjustment keys.

Place the miniature switch no 2 in position "ON" to

activate the adjustment keys.

Increase the pressure to the transmitters max.

range and adjust the output signal using the adjustment keys 6 and 5 until the signal is 10 Volt or 20
mA.
The factory settings can be restored if both adjustment keys 6 and 5 are pressed down simultaneous for approx. 1 second.

Increase the pressure to the transmitters min. pressure.

i.e.. -50 Pa if the measuring range of the transmitter
is -50...+50 Pa.
The pressure reference transmitter will indicate a
positive pressure of +50 Pa.
Press the 6-key to store the value.

Adjust the pressure to 50% of the measuring range.

With a measuring range of -50...+50 Pa or other
similar symmetric range, 50% will correspond to
zero (0) Pa, i.e. deflated transmitter.

Press down the zero-set key to store the value.

Connect the pressure pump together with the reference transmitter to the positive [+] connection. Increase the pressure to the transmitters max. pressure acc. to the example.

Press the 5-key to store the value.

After finished adjustment, place the miniature

switch no 2 in position "OFF" and reset the damping
to earlier.
A less precise adjustment can be performed if a
pressure pump is not available using only a reference transmitter to adjust against. This adjustment
can be performed over the entire measuring range
but it is recommended that the pressure used is
more than half the measuring range. The adjustment is done in the same way as described above
using the adjustment keys.

Note ! Any adjustments will result in a no longer

valid certification protocol.
