Operation and Maintenance
Process temperature upper and lower sensor trim
To calibrate the Process Temperature Input using the sensor trim, follow the procedure shown
below.
1. Set up a Temperature Calibrator to simulate a Pt 100 (100-ohm platinum, alpha 385
RTD). Wire the two red wires from the 3051S MultiVariable Transmitter terminal block
to one connection, and the two white wires to the other connection. See “Install
Optional Process Temperature Input (Pt 100 RTD Sensor)” on page 14 for more
information.
2. Adjust the calibrator/RTD simulator to a test point temperature value that represents a
minimum process temperature (for example, 32 °F or 0 °C). Click on the Lower Sensor
Trim button under the Process Temperature Sensor Trim heading and follow the
on-screen prompts.
3. Adjust the calibrator/RTD simulator to a test point temperature value that represents
the maximum process temperature (for example, 140 °F or 60 °C). Click on the Upper
Sensor Trim button under the Process Temperature Sensor Trim heading and follow the
on-screen prompts.
Recall factory trim
The Recall Factory Trim button will restore the transmitter to the original factory calibration
settings.
When the recall factory trim function is used, the transmitter’s upper and lower trim values are
set to the values configured at the factory. If custom trim values were specified when the
transmitter was ordered, the device will recall those values. If custom trim values were not
specified, the device will recall the upper and lower sensor limits.
Transmitter RTD sensor matching using callendar-van dusen
constants
The 3051S MultiVariable accepts Callendar-Van Dusen constants from a calibrated RTD
schedule and generates a special custom curve to match that specific sensor Resistance vs.
Temperature performance. Matching the specific sensor curve with the transmitter
configuration enhances the temperature measurement accuracy.
Under the Sensor Matching heading, the Callendar-Van Dusen constants R
0
, A, B, and C can be
viewed. If the Callendar-Van Dusen constants are known for the user’s specific Pt 100 RTD
sensor, the constants R
0
, A, B, and C may be edited by clicking on the Callendar-Van Dusen
Setup button and following the on-screen prompts.
The user may also view the , ß, and Coefficients by clicking on the View Alpha, Beta, Delta
button. The constants R
0
, , ß, and may be edited by clicking on the Callendar-Van Dusen
Setup button and following the on-screen prompts. To reset the transmitter to the IEC 751
Defaults, click the Reset to IEC 751 Defaults button.
