COURSE OVERVIEW:

The purpose of this course is to provide practical technical proficiency in the lifecycle management of electronic instrumentation, from the initial physical installation to long-term maintenance and precision calibration. Electronic instruments are the foundation of process automation, and their reliability is directly linked to the quality of their installation and the accuracy of their calibration. This program focuses on the hands-on skills required to ensure that transmitters and sensors perform to their manufacturer's specifications in industrial environments.

The scope of this training encompasses the mechanical and electrical requirements for installing pressure, temperature, level, and flow transmitters. Participants will explore the diverse range of calibration techniques, including the use of dry-block calibrators, deadweight testers, and high-precision digital multimeters. The curriculum is designed to address the systematic approach to maintenance, focusing on preventive and predictive strategies that minimize process downtime and enhance measurement integrity.

Coverage includes the configuration of smart instruments using HART and digital communicators, the management of impulse lines, and the proper use of gaskets and seals. Attendees will learn how to troubleshoot complex electronic loops, interpret error codes, and document calibration results for regulatory and quality compliance. By focusing on the practical "how-to" of instrument care, the course ensures that participants can maintain a fleet of instruments that are accurate, reliable, and safely integrated into the process.

COURSE OBJECTIVES:

After completion of this course, the participants will be able to:

• Analyze the physical and electrical installation requirements for transmitters.
• Execute precision calibration for pressure, temperature, and level instruments.
• Utilize HART communicators to configure and diagnose smart devices.
• Differentiate between 2-wire, 3-wire, and 4-wire instrument connections.
• Implement effective impulse line installation and winterization techniques.
• Utilize Deadweight Testers and Dry-Block Calibrators correctly.
• Perform Loop Checks and verify signal integrity from the field to the control room.
• Troubleshoot electronic component failures and signal noise issues.
• Document calibration results and maintain traceability to NIST/International standards.
• Implement Preventive Maintenance (PM) schedules for instrumentation.
• Identify signs of sensor degradation, erosion, and chemical attack.
• Apply safety protocols for working in hazardous and pressurized areas.

TARGET AUDIENCE:

This course is intended for Instrumentation Technicians, Calibration Specialists, Maintenance Engineers, and Field Service Technicians responsible for the upkeep of process instruments.

TRAINING COURSE METHODOLOGY:

A highly interactive combination of lectures, discussion sessions, and case studies will be employed to maximize the transfer of information, knowledge, and experience. The course will be intensive, practical, and highly interactive. The sessions will start by raising the most relevant questions and motivating everybody to find the right answers. The attendants will also be encouraged to raise more of their questions and to share in developing the right answers using their analysis and experience. There will also be some indoor experiential activities to enhance the learning experience. Course material will be provided in PowerPoint, with necessary animations, learning videos, and general discussions.

The course participants shall be evaluated before, during, and at the end of the course.

COURSE CERTIFICATE:

National Consultant Centre for Training LLC (NCC) will issue an Attendance Certificate to all participants completing a minimum of 80% of the total attendance time requirement.
