Calibrating a differential pressure (DP) level transmitter, especially a HART (Highway Addressable Remote Transducer) digital type, involves several steps. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you calibrate your DP level transmitter:

*Pre-calibration checks:*

1. Ensure the transmitter is properly installed and connected to the tank.
2. Verify the transmitter's range and settings match the tank's specifications:
- Tank height: 2650 mm (but the transmitter range is 0-1500 mmH2O, which might be due to the specific measurement requirements)
- Transmitter range: 0-1500 mmH2O
3. Familiarize yourself with the HART protocol and the transmitter's specific configuration and calibration procedures.

*Calibration steps:*

1. *Zero calibration:*
- Ensure the tank is empty or at a known level (preferably 0 mmH2O).
- Connect a HART communicator or a configuration tool to the transmitter.
- Set the transmitter to the "zero" or "lower range value" (LRV) setting.
- Adjust the zero point to match the known level (0 mmH2O).
2. *Span calibration:*
- Fill the tank to a known level, ideally near the upper range value (URV) of 1500 mmH2O.
- Set the transmitter to the "span" or "upper range value" (URV) setting.
- Adjust the span to match the known level (1500 mmH2O).
3. *Verify the calibration:*
- Check the transmitter's output at various levels (e.g., 0%, 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100% of the range).
- Ensure the transmitter's output matches the expected level values.

*HART configuration:*

1. Use a HART communicator or a configuration tool to access the transmitter's settings.
2. Configure the transmitter's parameters, such as:
- Range (0-1500 mmH2O)
- Units (mmH2O)
- Damping (if required)
- Output scaling (if required)

*Additional considerations:*

1. Ensure the transmitter is properly vented to the atmosphere or connected to a reference pressure.
2. Consider the density of the fluid being measured and adjust the calibration accordingly.
3. If the transmitter has a built-in temperature compensation, ensure it is properly configured.

*Documentation:*

1. Record the calibration settings and results.
2. Update the transmitter's documentation and configuration records.

By following these steps, you should be able to successfully calibrate your HART DP level transmitter. If you're unsure about any aspect of the calibration process, consider consulting the manufacturer's documentation or seeking assistance from a qualified professional.

The company where I am working, their is rosemount 5400 series radar type level transmitter, it is meant to show level of filled tank, but along with the level it is showing temperature also, so my question is how a onon-contact type radar type level transmitter can show temperature even if it does not have any contact with the fluid?
