  • Page 29: Calibration Overview

    Rosemount Nuclear with questions regarding calibrations that are not explained in this manual. Rosemount 2151N transmitters are factory calibrated to the range shown on the nameplate (see Figure 1-1). This range may be changed within the limits of the transmitter. Zero may also be adjusted to elevate (for all models except absolute pressure reference) or suppress (for all models).
  • Page 30: Definitions

    Reference Manual 00809-0000-4851 Rev AD Rosemount 2151N December 2023 For large amounts of zero adjustment, a coarse zero select jumper is provided.
