Instrument Calibration Lab Exercise
Calibrate the instrument (“trim” both the sensor and the output) to ensure it interprets pressure accurately and outputs a 4-20 mA current.
A Series of False Pressure Alarms
An operator reports a series of false pressure alarms reported by pressure indicating controller or recorder every few minutes.
