1.      Purpose


Ø  To provide a Standardized set of Guidelines for the calibration of 248/644/3144 Temperature transmitter.
2.          Scope

Ø  This Calibration procedure is applicable for all 248/3144 SMART type Rosemount Temperature Transmitters.

3.            Permit to Work & General safety


Ø  Obtain the necessary work permit.
Ø  Ensure appropriate PPE used.
Ø  Make sure whether any safety personal assistance is required.
Ø  Make sure whether the concerned loop is related to control or any trip systems, take necessary action before proceeding to attend the transmitter.

4.       Tools & Materials Required.

Ø  Multimeter.
Ø  Temperature Calibrator.
Ø  HART communicator.
Ø  Required tools.
 




For oxygen service use oxygen clean calibrator & oxygen clean  tubes and fittings



 5.          Calibration Procedures 

5.1. On line Hart communicator

Ø  Note down the transmitter range & unit from master document in the work shop.
Ø  Before checking/adjusting the transmitter, record the actual temperature indication in the control room.
Ø  Before proceeding to check the transmitter, aware of the service conditions.




  •  

OXYGEN SERVICE
Ø  Do not use stain gloves.
Ø  Do not use oil & grease.
Ø  Do not use Non –IS Calibrator and electronic devices.


Ø  Ensure the temperature is having Trip; follow the procedure for Trip Override.
Ø  Ensure sensor is Thermocouple / RTD.
Ø  Remove the sensor leads & insulate.
Ø  Ensure the grounding connection.
Ø  Connect the calibrator leads in the sensor terminals.
Ø  Connect the Hart communicator in transmitter loop terminals.
Ø  Refer HART menu tree for guidance.

 
Ø  Select Device Setup & enter
Ø  Select Diag/ Service & enter
Ø  Select Calibration & enter
Ø  Select sensor 1 trim & enter
Ø  Select sensor 1 Input trim & enter
Ø  Set the control loop manual & O.K
Ø  Adjust the calibrator to the desired lower trim value.
Ø  Select O.K once the temperature stabilizes
Ø  If deviation is observed, do the Trim procedure again.
Ø  Adjust the calibrator to the desired upper trim value.
Ø  Select O.K once the temperature stabilizes
Ø  If deviation is observed, do the Trim procedure again.
Ø  Verify the reading with control room operator.
Ø  In case of field mounted display is not applicable Ensure that the HART reading is the same as calibrator reading.
Ø  If the accuracy is not with in the limits do the calibration again. 
Ø  Ensure the power supply voltage to the transmitter



Ø  Repeat the calibration and observe the repeatability of the transmitter readings in the multimeter by up scale and down scale.

Accuracy is +/- 0.5 deg C  for 248 Transmitter

Accuracy is +/- 0.12 deg C  for 3144 Transmitter with RTD sensor

Ø  Record all the calibration readings and transmitter manufacturer’s informations in the calibration report.
Ø  If the loop under MANUAL or TRIP override, observe the loop stability
     And normalize to auto and remove the trip Over ride.          
Ø  Close the work permit.
Ø  Submit work order for supervisor approval and file the same.


  •  

Report to supervisor if error is not with in the limits after calibration. Remove transmitter to shop for further investigation.

5.      Shop Calibration Procedure

Ø  Verify the transmitter range & unit from master document in the work shop
Ø  Clean the transmitter.
Ø  Connect 24Vdc from calibrator with 250 ohms loop resistance in series.
Ø  Connect multimeter in series with the transmitter.
Ø  Connect HART communicator and check LRV & URV.
Ø  Apply the temperature corresponding to LRV and note down the mA in the multimeter.In case of any error, follow the procedure in step 5.
Ø  Apply the temperature corresponding to URV and note down the mA reading, In case of any error, follow the procedure in step 5.


  •  

Report to supervisor if error is not with in the limits after repeat calibration.

Ø  If abnormal found, replace the transmitter or repair it accordingly
Ø  Do the calibration procedure again.
Ø  Apply temperature corresponding to intermediate values and note down the readings.
Ø  Record all the calibration readings and transmitter manufacturer’s informations in the calibration report.
