From [BAS SETUP] menu, enter the [CALIB Z S] sub-menu.b. Enter specific gravity of calibration in level application [SG CALIB] or the low and high specific gravities in interface application[LSG CALIB] and [HSG CALIB].Actual volume and weight of the displacer can be read using HART communication (if data have been previously saved intothe 12400 instrument memory). Otherwise actual volume of the displacer is marked on the firm plate and displacer weight canbe measured by weighting of it.c. Low Level [ZERO]c1. Liquid application:Attach to the torque arm a set of weights equivalent to the true displacer weight (i.e. 1362 g for a standard displacer) tosimulate the low level.c2. Interface application:Attach to the torque arm a set of weights equivalent to the displacer weight completely immersed in the liquid of LowerSpecific Gravity used for calibration [LSG CALIB] using the following formula:c3. Enter and validate the [ZERO]: the [LEVEL:%] value indicated on the display must equal to 0.0%. If not, restart theprocedure until very close to this value. See Appendix B.Standard displacer characteristics S.I Units English UnitsDisplacer weight 1362 g 3 lbsDisplacer volume 907 cm3 55.34 in3Fluid specific gravityCAUTION:During the dry calibration without mechanism chamber, DO NOT ATTACH SPECIAL INTERFACE DISPLACER(OR ITS EQUIVALENT EFFECTIVE WEIGHT) on the torque arm. Indeed, these displacers being heavier thanthose for liquid level service and no mechanical stop being available without of mechanism chamber, thetorque tube and/or the instrument mechanism would be damaged.Displacer Apparent Weight for REF B =Displacer Actual Weight - (Displacer Actual Volume X [LSG CALIB])
