PD6700 Loop-Powered Process Meter Instruction Manual Scaling the Meter (SCale) The 4-20 mA input can be scaled to display the process in engineering units. A signal source is not needed to scale the meter; simply program the inputs and corresponding display values. Figure 5.
PD6700 Loop-Powered Process Meter Instruction Manual Calibrating the Meter (Cal) To scale the meter without a signal source refer to Scaling the Meter (SCale), page 21. The meter can be calibrated to display the process in engineering units by applying the appropriate input signal and following the calibration procedure.
PD6700 Loop-Powered Process Meter Instruction Manual Minimum Input Span The minimum input span is the minimum difference between input 1 and input 2 signals required to complete the calibration or scaling of the meter. The minimum span is 0.10 mA. If the minimum span is not maintained, the meter reverts to input 2, allowing the appropriate input signals to be applied.
PD6700 Loop-Powered Process Meter Instruction Manual Setting Up the Password (PASSWRD) The Password menu is used to program a five-digit password to prevent unauthorized changes to the programmed parameter settings. The lock symbol is displayed to indicate that settings are protected. Locking the Meter Enter the Password menu and program a five-digit password.
