on the conduit dimensions. The cable shapes and the number of wire cores should be
your guides when selecting functions.
Note 4: Ground the main unit to Class 3 or higher.

4-2. Adjustment of Pneumatic Pressure Output (Figure 4-2)
Perform zero and span adjustments of pneumatic output with mechanical stoppers for upper and lower
limits (between the 56T helical gear and base) in contact.
Use the fine-zero adjustment screw and fine-span adjustment nuts on the transmitter.
1) At the lower contact with mechanical stopper
Pneumatic pressure output: 16kPa (-5%F.S.) ±1%F.S.
2) At the upper limit of contact with mechanical stopper
Pneumatic pressure output: 104kPa (105%F.S.) ±1%F.S.
Repeat zero and span adjustments until conditions (1) and (2) are met.
• Turn off power and remove the pulse motor connector, so that coupling can be done easily by hand.
• Pneumatic pressure output is measured by connecting a tube to the pneumatic pressure output check
plug.
Note 1 : Upper and lower limits are set to -3+/-1%F.S. and 103+/-1%F.S. The output value
must not exceed the mechanical stopper range.

4-3. Adjustment of Current Output (Figure 4-3)
4-3-1. For direct feature
Conduct wiring and piping as shown in Figure 3-2-1.
1) Adjust input up and down so that pneumatic pressure output is about (*1) 20kPa (0% F.S.), then zero-
adjust the P/I converter to attain current output corresponding to pneumatic pressure output (*2).
2) Adjust input up and down so that pneumatic pressure output is about 100kPa (100% F.S.), then span-
adjust the P/I converter to attain current output corresponding to pneumatic pressure output.
Repeat steps (1) and (2) until the specified accuracy is achieved.
For reverse characteristics, start from step (3) below.
(*1): Pneumatic pressure output cannot be set precisely since it changes with a pulse motor.

4-6. Manual Operation (with A/M switch)
A manually-operated unit has a reducing valve for manual pneumatic-pressure setting and auto/manual
switch.
From this unit, switch A →M and M →A following the procedure below.
Under automatic operation (lever set to A), the automatic adjustment output pneumatic pressure is
displayed on the output pneumatic-pressure manometer. Pressing the check button displays output
(manual adjustment output pressure) of the reducing valve. To switch to manual operation, operate the
setting knob of the reducing valve to set the manual output to be the same as the automatic output, then
switch the mode.
Under manual operation (lever set to M), the reducing valve output is displayed on the output pneumatic-
pressure manometer, and remote operation of the valve is enabled. Pressing the check button displays
automatic adjustment output. To switch to automatic operation, set automatic output to the same as
manual output, then switch the mode.
