Note
For a flow turndown of greater than 10:1 it is not recommended to perform a square root
extraction in the transmitter. Instead, perform the square root extraction in the system.
3.9.3 Rerange
The Range Values command sets each of the lower and upper range analog values (4 and 20 mA
points and 1 and 5 Vdc points) to a pressure. The lower range point represents 0% of range and
the upper range point represents 100% of range. In practice, the transmitter range values may
be changed as often as necessary to reflect changing process requirements. For a complete
listing of Range & Sensor limits, refer to “Range and sensor limits” on page 108.
