INTRODUCTION
A simple push button operation ranges and calibrates the SEM203P 4 to 20 mA transmitters eliminating the need for soldering jumpers.

The SEM203P in-head transmitter incorporates the latest digital technology to ensure accurate drift free linearization.  It connects to any standard RTD temperature sensor and converts the output to a linear 4 to 20 mA output signal, providing a level of performance at a cost that was not possible with earlier analogue types.

High accuracy and stability with the flexibility of reduced stock and the quick and easy way of bench re-ranging makes the SEM203P the ideal choice for the majority of RTD sensing requirements.

The SEM203P is linearized to comply with all common RTD sensor standards ie 0.00385, 0.003916 etc. without affecting accuracy as the ZERO & SPAN is set to a particular sensor type.

CALIBRATION PROCEDURE:

  1. Connect an RTD simulator/calibrator to the input and between 8 & 30 volts DC to the output of the SEM203P.
  2. Set the simulator to the desired temperature at 4 mA.  Press and HOLD the calibration button until the LED starts to blink.
  3. Set the simulator to the desired temperature at 20 mA.  Press the calibration button and release.  The LED continues blinking and then shuts off confirming that the unit is calibrated.

It's that simple and that fast.
