Explanation of terms
Explanation of the terms: Turn down (TD), set span and zero based span
Case 1:
• Lower range value Upper range value
Example:
• Lower range value (LRV) = 0 mbar
• Upper range value (URV) = 100 mbar (1.5 psi)
• Nominal value (URL) = 500 mbar (7.5 psi)
Turn down:
•TD = URL /URV5:1
set span:
• URV – LRV = 100 mbar (1.5 psi)
This span is based on the zero point.
P01-xxxxxxxx-05-xx-xx-xx-001
Example: 500 mbar (7.5 psi) sensor
Case 2:
• Lower range value Upper range value
Example:
• Lower range value (LRV) = –300 mbar (4.5 psi)
• Upper range value (URV) = 0 bar
• Nominal value (URL) = 500 mbar (7.5 psi)
Turn down:
•TD = URL / (LRV) = 1,67:1
set span:
• URV – LRV = 300 mbar (4.5 psi)
This span is based on the zero point.
