Right click on the device and select “Calibrate,” then “D/A Trim” from the 
menu
.
1. Click Next after setting the control loop to manual.
2. Click Next after connecting the reference meter.
3. Click Next at the “Setting fld dev output to 4mA” screen.
4. Record the actual value from the reference meter, and enter it at the 
“Enter meter value” screen and click Next.
5. Select Yes, if the reference meter value equals the transmitter output 
value, or No if it does not. Click Next.
6. Click Next at the “Setting fld dev output to 20mA” screen.
7. Repeat Step 4 - Step 5 until the reference meter equals the transmitter 
output value.
8. Select Next to acknowledge the loop can be returned to automatic 
control.
9. Select Finish to acknowledge the method is complete.
Digital-to-Analog Trim 
Using Other Scale
The Scaled D/A Trim command matches the 4 and 20 mA points to a user 
selectable reference scale other than 4 and 20 mA (for example, 1 to 5 volts if 
measuring across a 250 ohm load, or 0 to 100 percent if measuring from a 
Distributed Control System (DCS)). To perform a scaled D/A trim, connect an 
accurate reference meter to the transmitter and trim the output signal to scale, 
as outlined in the Output Trim procedure.
NOTE
Use a precision resistor for optimum accuracy. If you add a resistor to the 
loop, ensure that the power supply is sufficient to power the transmitter to a 
20 mA output with additional loop resistance.
