Prerequisites

Special Equipment and/or Environment for Calibration

Typically, a smart transmitter delivered by a major manufacturer today is designed to provide a high
degree of precision throughout its operating range, and has been calibrated to a high level of accuracy
that is not easy to duplicate in your plant process areas. Moreover, the design, materials, and
manufacturing process employed will ensure that the instrument will stay within calibration limits for an
extended period.
Typically, calibration of a process-connected transmitter will degrade, rather than augment, the capability
of a smart transmitter. For this reason, the calibration procedures in this MC Toolkit User Manual
include a recommendation that the transmitter is removed from service and is calibrated only in a
controlled laboratory environment, using equipment whose precision is certified.

Software Environment
