4.1 Mounting ST 3000 Transmitter, Continued
ATTENTION
The mounting position of a model STA122 or STA922 Absolute
Pressure Transmitter or a model STD110 Draft Range Differential
Pressure Transmitter is critical as the transmitter spans become smaller.
A maximum zero shift of 2.5 mm Hg for an absolute transmitter or 1.5
in H
2
O for a draft range transmitter can result from a mounting position
which is rotated 90 degrees from vertical. A typical zero shift of 0.12
mm Hg or 0.20 in H
2
O can occur for a 5 degree rotation from vertical.

To minimize these positional effects on calibration (zero shift), take the
appropriate mounting precautions that follow for the given transmitter
model.
For a model STA122 or STA922 transmitter, you must ensure that the
transmitter is vertical when mounting it. You do this by leveling the
transmitter side-to-side and front-to-back. See Figure 6 for suggestions
on how to level the transmitter using a spirit balance.
