9.3.2  External Temperature (RTD)
Using a thermometer resistor as input, calibration 
of the temperature transmitter is carried out via a 
3-core wire connection.
As dened the reference resistor value table of 
the thermometer resistor (RTD), obtain resistance 
values corresponding to 0, 25, 50, 75 or 100% 
of the span, and use the obtained resistance as 
the input value, then deliver it to the temperature 
transmitter by means of a variable resistor. Measure 
the resulting output signal with the voltmeter (digital 
multimeter) and check the output value relative to 
the input value.
If the output signal deviates from the given range 
of accuracy when a given input signal is delivered, 
adjust the output using the handheld terminal. 
For details of how to adjust the output, refer to 
the additional references, “HART Protocol” IM 
01C25R02-01E and the instruction manual for each 
terminal.

Note:  The above table contains the instruments capable of performing calibration to the 0.2% level. Since special maintenance and 
management procedures involving traceability of each instrument to higher-level standards are required for calibration to the 0.1% 
or higher level, there may be difculties in calibration to this level in the eld. For calibration to the 0.1% level, contact Yokogawa 
representatives from which the instrument was purchased or the nearest Yokogawa ofce.
