Calibration To calibrate a device, begin by clicking the “Calibration wizard” button. Simply follow the guided steps to complete the calibration. New Zero & Span Set Points can be entered to re-range the device if needed. The guided calibration wizard will provide step-by-step instructions on how to calibrate the device. Follow these instructions to guide you through the calibration process. NOTE: Take care to ensure the USB cable remains connected during calibration.
PAGE 7
After the “Finish” button is pressed, the following confirmation will be displayed to confirm the calibration process was completed successfully. VERIFyIng ThE CalIBRaTIOn To verify the calibration status of a device, begin by clicking the “Verify calibration” button. Follow the guided steps to complete the verification. If the verification results are not acceptable, start the “Calibration wizard” to either adjust the calibration or re-range the device.

05QS SWITCh CalIBRaTIOn NOTE: This section only applies to the 805QS. - for more specific information on switch operation, please refer to “805QS Electronic Pressure Switch General Instructions,” form GI1547. To calibrate the switch output of a device, begin by clicking the “Set/Verify Switch Points” button. Simply follow the guided steps to complete the switch calibration. New switch set points can be entered to re-range the device’s switch output as desired.
PAGE 10
Switch Type: Single Point: Closed -> Opened Press the “Finish” button to complete the calibration. NOTE: It may be desirable to save an archive of the device calibration when the device has been calibrated to a satisfactory zero and span output. To do this, press the “Save Report” button. You will be prompted for a directory to save the file. Once the directory is chosen, it will automatically be recalled upon subsequent saves.
PAGE 11
Re-Zero Feature The Manual Zero Adjust feature can be used to adjust the Zero Set Point to compensate for Zero Set Point shifts associated with environmental effects. For example, a pressure transmitter that was calibrated at the Lenexa, KS (USA) factory may read less than 4mA at zero pressure when placed in service at a high-altitude location. To correct this, the output at zero can be adjusted back to the factory calibrated zero output.
