Operation
The ActionI/Q model Q404-3 operates as a four-wire transmitter; it derives its power from an independent, transformer isolated, DC to DC power source (10.8 to 26.4VDC). Typically a 12 or 24VDC source is used for power.

The Q404-3 has fixed input and output ranges. Standard output ranges in Table 1 are calibrated to rated accuracy.

Calibration
  1. To check calibration, connect the input to a calibrated DC source. Connect the output to a DC voltage or current meter and the input power to DC source (between 10.8 and 26.4V) capable of providing up to 0.5 Amps.
  2. Set the calibrator to 4mA and adjust the zero potentiometer for minimum (e.g. 4mA) output.
  3. Set the calibrator to 20mA and adjust the span potentiometer for maximum (e.g. 20mA) output.
  4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 to validate calibration to the output load.
