Bench Calibration Tasks
1. Set output configuration parameters:
a. Set the range points.
b. Set the output units.
c. Set the output type.
d. Set the damping value.
2. Optional: Perform a sensor trim.
(Accurate pressure source required)
3. Optional: Perform an analog output
trim. (Accurate multimeter required)
1. Set output configuration parameters:
a. Set the range points.
b. Set the output units.
c. Set the output type.
d. Set the damping value.
2. Optional: Perform a sensor trim if
equipment available (accurate absolute
pressure source required), otherwise
perform the low trim value section of
the sensor trim procedure.
3. Optional: Perform an analog output
trim (Accurate multimeter required)
NOTE:
A Field Communicator is required for all sensor and output trim procedures.
Rosemount 3051S_C Range 4 and Range 5 transmitters require a special
calibration procedure when used in differential pressure applications under
high static line pressure (see "Compensating for Line Pressure (Range 4 and
Range 5)" on page 4-10).
Rosemount 3051S_TG Range 5 transmitters use an absolute sensor that
requires an accurate absolute pressure source to perform the optional sensor
trim.
Complete calibration of the 3051S pressure transmitter involves the following
tasks:
Configure the analog output parameters
• Set Process Variable Units (page 3-8)
• Set Output Type (page 3-8)
• Rerange (page 3-9)
• Set Damping (page 3-11)

Field Calibration Tasks
1. Reconfigure parameters if necessary.
2. Zero trim the transmitter to
compensate for mounting effects or
static pressure effects.
1. Reconfigure parameters if necessary.
2. Perform low trim value section of the
sensor trim procedure to correct for
mounting position effects.
