Span
 
The basic span adjustment of the ESR-4 is 
2 volts to 6 volts dc.  This is adjustable with the 
20 turn span potentiometer.  To make the span 
adjustable from 2 to 9.5 volts dc, remove resistor 
R4.  To make the span adjustable from 9.5 to 16 
volts dc, remove R4 and cut jumper wire J-1.  To 
make the span adjustable from 12 to 16 V dc, 
remove R4 and J1.  See Figure 11, this page, for 
location of R4 and J1.
Zero (Supp.)
 
The basic zero adjustment is -20% to 100% 
of span.  This is adjustable with the zero potentio-
meter.  For 2-way split range applications, 
remove resistor R35 to shift the zero adjustment 
to 20% to 150% of span.  For 3-way split range 
operation, remove resistors R35 and R36 to 
shift the zero adjustment to 150% to 275%.  For 
other split range applications, consult factory for 
adjustment.  See Figure 11, this page, for location 
of R35 and R36.
Filter Adjustment
 
The input filter is adjusted at the factory 
for maximum attenuation of disturbances on 
the input signal (fully CW).  This introduces 
a 1% drift (with 4” travel at 16 sec./in. timing) 
in response to a loss of input signal when 
stay-in-place is selected.  If this is objectionable 
or if livelier response is desired, the filter action 
can be reduced by turning the filter adjustment 
potentiometer CCW a sufficient amount.  Full 
CCW takes the filtering out completely, but in 
some cases may lead to undesirable cycling.  If 
this happens, turn the adjustment CW until the 
cycling is damped out.
Deadband Adjustment
 
The ESR deadband values of 0.6% for CPS-2 
or  film potentiometer operation are chosen to 
satisfy the requirements of most control systems.  
If excessive process and / or signal noise is 
present, the drive may be subject to unnecessary 
cycling.  It is recommended that excessive noise 
be reduced at the source in order to prevent

unnecessary cycling.  This will improve process 
control and prolong component life.
 
If it is not possible to eliminate the excessive 
noise, the drive’s deadband can be widened; 
however, this will reduce the resolution of the 
drive.  Widening the deadband to 1% can be 
accomplished by removing resistor R39.  Further 
change of the deadband is possible—please 
contact the factory for details.
 
See Figure 11, this page, for the location of 
R39.  Higher gains (reduced deadbands) are also 
possible with the ESR-4.  Consult your factory 
representative for details.
L.O.S. TRIP POINT
 
If the input signal drops below a predetermined 
value, the L.O.S. feature is activated.  The 
standard factory setting of this feature is 
approximately 13% of the signal span below the 
minimum signal value.  For example, if the input 
signal is 4–20 mA, 13% of that 16 mA span is 
2.08 mA.  Therefore, the L.O.S. trip point would 
be 1.92 mA (4.0 mA minus 2.08 mA).  If the input 
signal is 1–5 V, 13% of that 4 V span is 0.52 V.  
Therefore, the L.O.S. trip point would be 0.48 V 
(1.0 V minus 0.52 V).
 
If it is necessary to change the L.O.S. trip 
point, this may be done by replacing resistors on 
the ESR board.  Consult the factory for details.
