EXPLANATIONS OF TERMS

■ ACCURACY

This transmitter’s accuracy is theoretically defined as the

addition of A/D and D/A conversion errors:

Accuracy = A/D Conversion Error + D/A Conversion Error

The A/D conversion error means that measured as HART

signal which is A/D converted from the analog input signal.

The D/A conversion error of this transmitter is relatively

very small so that it does not really affect the unit’s overall

performance.

The “Accuracies” given in Table 1 therefore equals the A/D

conversion error.

The temperature drift (coefficient) or the cold junction

compensation error is not included in the “Accuracy.”

■ CALCULATION EXAMPLES OF OVERALL ACCURACY IN %

• DC Voltage

1) 0 – 200 mV

Absolute value accuracy (Table 1): 40 μV

40 μV ÷ 200000 μV × 100 = 0.02 % < 0.1 %

➠ Overall accuracy = ±0.1% of span

2) 0 – 4 mV

Absolute value accuracy (Table 1): 10 μV

10 μV ÷ 4000 μV × 100 = 0.25 % > 0.1%

➠ Overall accuracy = ±0.25 % of span

• Thermocouple

1) K thermocouple, 0 – 1000°C

Absolute value accuracy (Table 1): 0.25°C

0.1% × 1000°C = 1°C > 0.25°C

CJC error (0.5°C) added: 1 + 0.5 = 1.5°C

1.5°C ÷ 1000°C × 100 = 0.15 %

➠ Overall accuracy including CJC error = ±0.15 % of span

2) K thermocouple, 50 – 150°C

Absolute value accuracy (Table 1): 0.25°C

0.1 % × (150 – 50)°C = 0.1°C < 0.25°C

CJC error (0.5°C) added: 0.25 + 0.5 = 0.75°C

0.75°C ÷ (150 – 50)°C × 100 = 0.75 %

➠ Overall accuracy including CJC error = ±0.75 % of span

• RTD

1) Pt 100, -200 – 800°C

Absolute value accuracy (Table 1): 0.15°C

0.15°C ÷ (800 – -200)°C × 100 = 0.015 % < 0.1 %

➠ Overall accuracy = ±0.1 % of span

2) Pt 100, 0 – 100°C

Absolute value accuracy (Table 1): 0.15°C

0.15°C ÷ 100°C × 100 = 0.15 % > 0.1 %

➠ Overall accuracy = ±0.15 % of span
