Rerange the transmitter

The Range Values command sets each of the lower and upper range analog values (4 and 20
mA/1-5 Vdc points) to a pressure. The lower range point represents 0% of range and the upper
range point represents 100% of range. In practice, the transmitter range values may be changed
as often as necessary to reflect changing process requirements. For a complete listing of Range
& Sensor limits, refer to
Select from one of the methods below to rerange the transmitter. Each method is unique;
examine all options closely before deciding which method works best for your process.
