Publication 1414-IN014A-EN-P - October 2005 Differential Liquid/Gas Pressure Transmitter 3 Install the Differential Liquid/Gas Pressure Transmitter The transmitter mounts on a vertical surface with the pressure ports and cable entrance on the bottom using the two screw holes on the base of the unit. Ensure there is enough space around the unit to make the pressure and electrical connections. Avoid locations with severe vibrations or excessive moisture. The enclosure has a standard ½” conduit opening and may be installed with either a conduit coupler or a cable gland type fitting. In this position the High port is on the left and the Low port is on the right as shown on the printed circuit board. Wire and Connect the Differential Liquid/Gas Pressure Transmitter Use twisted-pair 18 to 22 AWG shielded wiring for all connections and do not locate the device wires in the same conduit with wiring used to supply inductive loads such as motors. Disconnect the power supply before making any connections to prevent electrical shock or equipment damage. Make all connections in accordance with national and local electrical codes. This device is a 3-wire sourcing type transmitter. Connect the positive dc voltage or the hot side of the ac voltage to the terminal marked PWR. The power supply common is connected to the terminal marked COM. The device is reverse voltage protected and will not operate if connected backwards. The analog output signal is available on the OUT terminal. This signal is jumper selectable for either voltage or 4 to 20 mA output (factory default). In voltage mode, either 0 to 5 or 0 to 10V dc can also be selected. These options are indicated on the circuit board. The remote zero feature may be used by wiring a dry-contact (relay only) digital output to the ZERO terminals. Do not apply voltage to the ZERO terminals. Plumbing The two pressure ports are labeled High and Low. The output signal indicates a positive value when the pressure is higher on the High port than the Low port so ensure these ports are connected correctly. Use an appropriately rated pressure tubing and arrange it to minimize stress on the connections. Do not allow material to fall into the pressure ports as contamination could damage the sensors. Configure the Differential Liquid/Gas Pressure Transmitter As shown on the printed circuit board diagram, push-on jumpers and switches are used to select the output signal type, the input pressure range and several features. The device is factory configured to operate in the 4-20 mA output mode but can be changed to voltage mode by moving the two jumpers from the positions marked Publication 1414-IN014A-EN-P - October 2005 4 Differential Liquid/Gas Pressure Transmitter Current to the positions marked Voltage. Always note the current jumper position first and then move them to the new position. If the jumpers are rotated 90 degrees and installed incorrectly the product will not work and damage may occur. In voltage mode the output scale may be changed to either 0-5 or 0-10 Vdc by moving the single jumper to the 5V or 10V position. The Range and Options switches can be changed while the unit is operating. However, the output jumpers can only be changed while the power is removed. The jumper marked Light is not used. The input pressure range (as shown on the product label) is set by moving the 4- position slide switch marked RANGE. Bidirectional operation, port swap, slow damping and analog reverse functions are available by switching the appropriate DIP switch position to ON. • Bidirectional This switch changes the range from 0 to full scale differential pressure to minus full scale to plus full scale differential pressure. The analog output will read ½ when the differential pressure is zero. The example below shows the results when Range 1 (0 to 100 psi) and bidirectional mode (-100 to 100 psi) are selected. HIGH port LOW port Differential Pressure 4-20 mA 0-5 V 100 PSI 50 PSI 50 PSI 16 mA 3.75 V 50 PSI 100 PSI -50 PSI 8 mA 1.25 V 50 PSI 50 PSI 0 PSI 12 mA 2.5 V 100 PSI 0 PSI 100 PSI 20 mA 5V • Port Swap This switch reverses the polarity of the pressure ports. It makes the HIGH port ‘low’ and the LOW port ‘high’. This is useful to correct plumbing errors. • Slow Damping This switch provides an 8-second averaging for surge dampening (normally it is 4-seconds). • Output Reverse This switch reverses the output signal polarity. In reverse mode the analog output is maximum when the pressure differential is zero and decreases as pressure increases. Publication 1414-IN014A-EN-P - October 2005 Differential Liquid/Gas Pressure Transmitter 5 Operation For normal operation such as 0-100 PSI, the pressure applied to the High port must be higher than the pressure applied to the Low port. If the pressure connection is reversed then the transmitter will always output 4 mA or 0 V. If the Low port is left open to ambient pressure, then the High port is used to measure a positive pressure and 0 PSI = 4 mA and 100 PSI = 20 mA. For bidirectional operation such as +/-100 PSI, the pressure applied to the High port should be higher than the pressure applied to the Low port for a positive output response. Negative pressure is indicated if the High pressure is less than the Low pressure. In this case –100 PSI = 4 mA and +100 PSI = 20 mA. Since the transmitter is linear 0 PSI = 12 mA. Calibration With both ports open to the ambient pressure (or with both ports equalized at 0 pressure), press and hold the auto-zero button or provide contact closure on the ZERO terminals for at least 3 seconds. Release the button or terminals and the device will calculate and store the new zero point. To protect the unit from accidental zeroing this feature is enabled only when the detected pressure on both ports is less than 5% of the full range. It is not recommended that the span calibration be performed in the field unless a high quality calibrator is available.
