Frequently asked questions

How often should the transmitter be calibrated?

To maintain maximum accuracy, we recommend calibration of the sensor once a year.

What is the recommended recalibration cycle for the BF2 pressure transmitter?

The manufacturer recommends calibrating the sensor once a year to maintain maximum accuracy.

At what temperature should zero and range adjustments be performed on the BF2 transmitter?

Adjustment of the range potentiometer must be done at a temperature between 20°C and 2K.

What is the maximum slant angle allowed when mounting the transmitter if a 90-degree angle is not possible?

A maximum slant of 30 degrees is allowed, as larger angles can result in false measurements.
