Range Menu

Range, measuring range or working range is a set of values of the measured variable
that are comprised between the minimum and maximum values of the measuring,
transmission, or control capability of the instrument. It is expressed by setting its
extreme values, for example 0 to 100 mm, but this scale can be configured.
3-1 - ZERO: It is always the starting point of the measuring scale. This parameter allows
adjusting the ZERO point from 0 to 20% of the total travel of the valve.
Figure 8-16 Example of Range
3-2 - SPAN: This parameter allows adjusting the end point of the measuring scale from
80 to 100% of the valve stroke.
Consider if a valve has a stroke of 0 of 100 mm (SPAN = 100mm), but our application
requires that the valve has a stroke of 20 to 80 mm (SPAN = 60 mm). We then set the
ZERO point at 20% and SPAN at 80%. See Figure 8-16: Example of Range
Range 0 to 100 mm (0 to 100%)
ZERO point set to 20% (in the example 20 mm)
SPAN point set to 80% (in the 80 mm example)
SPAN: 80 mm - 20 mm = 60 mm
