How do I set upper range value and lower range value on a Siemens pressure transmitter?

A customer needed to re-range a Siemens SITRANS P DS III transmitter without applying pressure. He’d read my earlier blog post about using the pushbuttons to program the DS III (Pressure Transmitter Pushbuttons to the Rescue!), and where to find the Z-fold instruction sheet.
All was going to plan, until he started looking for the settings for lower range value (LRV) and upper range value (URV). And then, in an all-too-familiar scenario, he hit a roadblock. The instructions don’t actually mention URV and LRV, the terms he’s familiar with, by name or acronym. So what’s a guy to do?
Pressure transmitter pushbuttons to the rescue!

I took a call the other day from a contractor. He was at the construction site, on deadline, and frantic. He was trying to set the zero and range on a Siemens SITRANS P DS-III pressure transmitter‘s 4-20 mA output. He had a HART handheld communicator, but no device descriptor file (DD) that made the two talk to each other.
Could I help? Sure! I just asked, “Do you have a Phillips screwdriver?”
