Page 81: Adjusting The Recorder Zero/Span Values
Chapter 4. Troubleshooting and Maintenance 4.7 Adjusting the Recorder Zero/Span Values The measured value of the recorder output can vary from the programmed value due to resistance caused by the load (e.g., chart recorder, display, etc.) or by long wire runs or small gauge connecting wire. This menu option lets you adjust the recorder zero and span values to compensate for such variations.
Page 82 Chapter 4. Troubleshooting and Maintenance 4.7.1 Adjusting the Recorder Zero (cont.) Note: The recorder output cannot be adjusted to a value of 0.00 mA or 0.000 V due to limits imposed by electronic noise. The recorder output typically is 0.01 mA at a zero reading. Therefore, when checking for the zero value, the MMS35 automatically uses 5% of span for ranges of 0-20 mA and 0-2V (see Table 13).
Page 83 Chapter 4. Troubleshooting and Maintenance 4.7.1 Adjusting the Recorder Zero (cont.) Example: A test of a 0-20 mA output results in a meter reading of 1.3 mA. This is 0.3 mA higher than the desired meter reading (1 mA) shown in Table 13 on page 71.
Page 84: Adjusting The Recorder Span
Chapter 4. Troubleshooting and Maintenance 4.7.2 Adjusting the Recorder Span Note: The zero adjustment is an offset adjustment, while the span adjustment is a slope adjustment. As a result, the zero and span adjustments affect each other. Therefore, after you adjust one value you should re-adjust the other.
