3. MAINTENANCE
3.1. Periodic control

Honeywell Marine recommends yearly checking of:
● Transducer:
- Visual inspection of cable (except for Atmospheric Pressure model).
- Ceramic membrane is not obstructed by any dust.
● Remote box:
- Visual inspection of cables.
- Flexible pipes are not damaged (if any).
- Cable glands are correctly tightened.
- Venting pipe is not obstructed by any dust (for gage pressure models).
● Zero and span calibration:
- See procedure § 3.2.

3.2. Zero and Span calibration
RECOMMENDATION:
As calibration equipment, HONEYWELL MARINE recommends to use the
"HONEYWELL MARINE Test and Calibration kit", which includes a
vacuum/pressure generator and all necessary accessories.

● Zero calibration (gauge sensor application):
To check Zero, transducer must be placed to atmospheric pressure.

- Immersed installation :
Remove any liquid or pressure (inert gas) from tank.
- Flange installation :
Close isolating valve.
If test flange, remove 1/8 '' NPT plug.
If no test flange dismount the transducer from isolating valve.
- Check mA readings :
If readings = 4, 00 mA, correct.
If readings <> 4.00 mA ± 0.3%, adjust the “Zero” potentiometer.

● “Zero” calibration (absolute sensor application):
If test flange, remove 1/8 '' NPT plug.
If no test flange dismounts the transducer from isolating valve, connect test pressure
equipment with adapted test flange.
Reading will indicate atmospheric pressure converted in mA.
Before any calibration check existing value from atmospheric pressure.
Example:
PL3700 absolute range: 900 to 1100 mbar.
- 4.00 mA = 900 mbar
- 20.00 mA = 1100 mbar
- Span = 1100 – 900 = 200 mbar
- Actual value from atmospheric pressure = 996 mbar
- Current must be : {16 mA x (996 - 900) / 200 + 4 mA} ± 0.3%
- Calibration using test pressure equipment :
To test or calibrate absolute pressure sensor, using vacuum test pressure equipment is
recommended. Gauge test pressure equipment can be used (depending on its capability to
generated vacuum pressure).
Connect test pressure equipment.
Pressure test to apply = 900 mbar (abs. pressure) or -100 mbar (gauge).
If readings = 4.00 mA, correct.
If readings <> 4.00 mA ± 0.3%, adjust “Zero” potentiometer.
● “Span” calibration (gauge sensor application):
Connect test pressure equipment
If test flange, connect test pressure equipment into 1/8 NPT test connection.
Apply full range of pressure indicated on transducer or remote box.
If readings = 20,00 mA, correct.
If readings <> 20,00 mA ± 0.3%, adjust “Span” potentiometer.

● “Span” calibration (absolute application):
Connect test pressure equipment
If test flange, connect test pressure equipment into 1/8 NPT test connection.
Example:
To test or calibrate absolute pressure sensor, using vacuum test pressure equipment is
recommended. Gauge test pressure equipment can also be used.
PL3700 absolute range: 900 to 1100 mbar.
- 4,00 mA = 900 mbar
- 20.00 mA = 1100 mbar
- Span = 1100 – 900 = 200 mbar
Actual value from atmospheric pressure = 996 mbar.
- Pressure test to apply = 200 mbar -96 mbar = 104 mbar (gauge pressure) or 1100 mbar
(absolute pressure).
If readings = 20,00 mA, correct.
If readings <> 20,00 mA ± 0.3%, adjust “Span” potentiometer.
4. CALIBRATION CHANGE
4.1. General
In case of change the calibration on an existing tank (zero position or maximum tank
height or specific gravity have changed), you can use the same PL3700 only if new
calibration is still inside 50% of full range.
If it is not the case, you have to exchange to a new, adapted PL3700 (refer to table in
NT5090 § 3.1).

Example of full range of pressure calculation :
● The measuring range is indicated in gauge mbar on transducer and associated remote box.
● The indicated value corresponds to the maximum hydrostatic pressure calculated as follow
(for help use PTDQ § 8).
P = (H-hz) x Sg x 0,981
P = Hydrostatic pressure. (mbar)
H = Total height to gauge. (cm)
Hz = Zero line. (cm)
Sg = Specific gravity of liquid.
● Existing PL3700 has been calibrated for following tank:

H = 370 cm.
Hz = 5 cm
Sg = 1.025. (Sea water)
P = (370-5) x 1.025 x 0,981 = 367 mbar.
● Tank is modified with the following values:
H = 350 cm.
Hz = 5 cm
Sg = 1.025 (sea water).
P = (350-5) x 1.025 x 0,981 = 346 mbar.
For span correction, adjust the “span” potentiometer in order to get 20 mA for new high
pressure value. Check the “zero” calibration (4 mA) by setting off the calibration
pressure.
4.2. Calibration
● Connect test pressure equipment as explained § 3.2.
● Connect ammeter on PL3700 terminal block as explained § 3.2.
● Powering ON PL3700.
- Apply pressure requested for 4mA if any.
- Adjust “Zero” potentiometer to get 4,00 mA ± 0,3%.
- Apply pressure requested for 20 mA (example above).
- Adjust “Span” potentiometer to get 20,00 mA ± 0,3%.
- Apply again pressure of zero point, and check again if 4.00 mA still correct.
- If no, adjust again “Zero” potentiometer to get 4,00 mA ± 0,3% and repeat previews
operations until calibration become correct.

5. TROUBLESHOOTING
Trouble Possible trouble Action
Indication Error - “Zero” setting - Adjust “Zero”

- “Span” setting - Adjust “Span”
- Specific gravity - Check if specific gravity is same
used than for calibration
- Breather venting pipe
- Check if venting pipe is not
blocked or crushed
Indication still “Zero” - Power supply failure - Check voltage on PL3700
- Isolating valve closed - Check zener output and input
voltage
- Faulty sensor
- Open the valve
- Replace sensor
Indication still - Faulty sensor - Replace sensor
“Maximum”
