    • Record the model and serial numbers for future reference when ordering parts. Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Handling Procedure Magnetrol ® electronic instruments are manufactured to the highest quality standards. These instruments use electronic components that may be damaged by static electricity pre- sent in most work environments.
  • Page 5: Installation Location

    Installation Location KOTRON RF Transmitters should be located for easy access for service, calibration and monitoring. Units should not be exposed to ambient temperatures below -40 °F (-40 °C) or above +160 °F (+70 °C). Special pre- caution should be made to prevent exposure to corrosive atmosphere, excessive vibration, shock or physical damage.

  • Page 9: Wiring

    Wiring The wiring directions are different depending upon the configuration of your particular transmitter. Choose the appropriate configuration from the following sections and follow the directions carefully. 1.6.1 Two-Wire Transmitter without Meter W RNING: These units are designed to operate with voltages between 14 VDC and 40 VDC only.

    1.6.4 Four-Wire Transmitter with Meter Caution: All power must be turned off until all of the wiring connec- tions have been made. All wiring between the power supply and the transmitter should be done with 14 AWG to 18 AWG wire. The con- nection is made at the terminal strip, on the vertical board, within the transmitter enclosure.
  • Page 12: Calibration

    Calibration There are two calibration methods that can be used, depending on your particular situation. Calibration Procedure A will require moving the level from the 0% point (4 mA) to the 100% point (20 mA). Calibration Procedure B allows you to start at a level greater than 0% and stop at a level less than 100%.
  • Page 13: Calibration Procedure B

    7. If 20 mA cannot be reached, individually close Span Coarse DIP switches (in sequence), #1, #2, and #3, until the loop current is close to (and not less than), 20 mA. (ONLY ONE SWITCH POSITION SHOULD BE CLOSED AT A TIME—THE OTHER TWO POSITIONS MUST REMAIN OPEN).
