application and problem and identify any hazardous material used with
the product.

ADJUSTMENTS
The Series 647 transmitters are adjusted for the specified range at the
factory and should not require further adjustments. If necessary or
desireable, the zero and span may be adjusted, however, the requested
full scale range as shipped is established with fixed resistors minimizing
the range of adjustment. The average full scale adjustment is ±10% fo
the range shipped.
