Pressure Measurement with DP Transmitter
Procedure
The procedure in Table 30 outlines the steps for starting up a differential pressure (DP) type transmitter in a
pressure measurement application. Refer to Figure 29 for the piping arrangement identification and
Figure 27 for typical communicator and meter connections.

Step
1
Connect communicator across loop wiring; turn it on and establish communications. If
possible, locate communicator where you can also view receiver instrument in control loop. If
you want to verify transmitter output, connect a precision milliammeter or voltmeter in loop to
compare readings.
Refer to Figure 27 for sample communicator and meter connections in a typical analog loop
with a differential pressure-type transmitter.
2
Close valve D.
Refer to Figure 29 for sample piping arrangement.
3
Open plug C and valve A to apply head pressure H to meter body. Then, open LP vent.
Allow system to stabilize at head pressure
4
At "Online" menu, read present LRV setting.
