CALCULATION EXAMPLES OF OVERALL ACCURACY
■
CALCULATION EXAMPLES OF OVERALL ACCURACY IN %
1) Pt 100, 0 – 500°C, 4 – 20 mA DC output
Absolute value accuracy (Table 1)
: 0.15°C
0.15°C ÷ 500°C × 100 = 0.03 % < 0.1%
Output span 16 mA (20 – 4) ≥ 2 mA (max. span 20 mA × 0.1) ➠ No adding 0.2 %
➠ Overall accuracy = ±0.1 % of span
2) Pt 100, 0 – 100°C, 2.0 – 2.5 V DC output
Absolute value accuracy (Table 1): 0.15°C
0.15°C ÷ 100°C × 100 = 0.15 % > 0.1 %
Output span 0.5 V (2.5 – 2.0) ≤ 0.5 (max. span 5 V × 0.1) ➠ Add 0.2 %
➠ Overall accuracy = 0.15 + 0.2 = ±0.35 % of span
