Performance
Criteria DLC3020f
(1)
Independent Linearity
$0.1% of output span
Accuracy
$0.15%
Repeatability <0.1% of full scale output
Hysteresis <0.10% of output span
Deadband <0.05% of input span
Humidity
$0.10% (RH9.2% to 90%)
Note: At full design span, reference conditions.
1. To lever assembly rotation inputs.
Minimum Differential Specific Gravity
0.1 SGU with standard volume displacers
Ambient Temperature Effect
The combined temperature effect on zero and span is
less than 0.01% of full scale per degree Celsius over
the operating range -40 to 80_C (-40 to 176_F)
Process Temperature Effect
Temperature compensation can be implemented to
correct for fluid density changes due to process
temperature variations. See page 25 for information
on how to correct with temperature compensation.
Electromagnetic Compatibility
Meets EN 61326-1 (First Edition)
Immunity—Industrial locations per Table 2 of the
EN 61326-1 standard. Performance is shown in table
7 below.
Emissions—Class A
ISM equipment rating: Group 1, Class A
Lightning and Surge Protection—The degree of
immunity to lightning is specified as Surge immunity
in table 7. For additional surge protection
commercially available transient protection can be
used.
