Auto-verification/Auto-calibration
The XDP provides long-term, hands-off operation with this optional feature. When initiated, the XDP controls solenoid valves in the sample system to bring zero and span gases to the transmitter. Then the XDP software compares calibration gas readings with factory data to verify proper calibration. If an adjustment is necessary, the XDP makes corrections automatically and notifies the user via the front panel display and alarm contacts.
The Panametrics TMO2D is an optional display and control module that enhances the performance and operation of transmitters such as the XMO2, XMTC, or oxy.IQ.
It provides a two-line x 24-character backlit LCD display, display and option programming via keyboard, recorder outputs, alarm relays, and relays for driving sample system solenoids for automatic zero and span calibration, as well as a 24 VDC power supply for the transmitter.

- Two-line x 24-character backlit LCD
- Single or dual isolated, 4 to 20 mA outputs
- Up to four field-configurable process alarms
- Automatic calibration relays
Optional Autoverification/Autocalibration
The TMO2D provides long-term, hands-off operation with this optional feature. When initiated, the TMO2D controls solenoid valves in the sample system to bring zero and span gases to the transmitter.
