ZERO ADJUSTMENT:
The Zero button will adjust the output signal and display to the •
base reading range.
Ensure the product is in a non-hazardous environment.•
Remove the front display cover by hand to access the “Zero” •
button.
Connect the AST46DS using standard wiring instructions with an •
8-28VDC power supply.
Do not remove power from the product during the Zero •
adjustment process. If “Checkbyte Error” displays, contact factory
Make sure that the process connection is not pressurized and •
is open to atmosphere to reset to 0 PSIG. If the zero pressure
is adjusted with pressure, it can be calibrated up to 5% of the full
span (i.e. 5 PSI for a 100 PSI transmitter). “Zero adjustments
above or below 5% will result in an “OUT OF RANGE” condtion
displayed on the LCD.
Press the “Zero” button until the display reads “• ZERO”. The
AST46DS will then read 0.0 for pressure units if the calibration was
started in units, 1.000 for a 1-5V output, or 4.00 for a 4-20mA output.
(compound and bi-directional transmitters will “zero” to the factory
calibrated zero offset).
Re-install the front display cover.•
UNITS
Ensure the product is in a non-hazardous environment.•
Remove the front display cover to access the “Units” button.•
Connect the AST46DS using standard wiring instructions with an •
8-28VDC power supply.
Press the Units” button to cycle between the display options until •
you reach the desired units.
Re-install the front display cover.•
OVER PRESSURE DISPLAY
At 5% over-pressure, the display will begin to blink at 1/2Hz.
REMOVING POWER
If you power off AST46DS, it will default back to the last setting for the display and zero calibration.
