1. OUTLINE
The FCX-A2 series transmitter detects the differential pressure or pressure of various fluids, converts it
into a current signal of 4 to 20mA DC and transmits it.
All the adjustment functions are incorporated in the transmission unit for making adjustments easily and
exactly.
Transmitter settings (such as range and damping time constant, etc.) can be changed from an HHC (Hand
Held Communicator).

Principle
The operating principle of the FCX-A2 series transmitter is shown in the block diagram below.
The input pressure is changed into an electrostatic capacitance in the detecting unit. The change
proportional to the pressure undergoes conditioning and amplification in the transmission unit, and is
then output as a current of 4 to 20mA DC.

6.2 Piping
It is generally recognized that there are appropriate positioning relationship between the transmitter
and main process piping for accurate measurement to avoid harmful gas or liquid accumulation.
General recognizations are;
1 Mount transmitter below main process piping for liquid or steam measurement.
2 Mount transmitter above main process piping for gas measurement.
The standard style of FCX-A2 series transmitter correspond to the piping procedure 1 mentioned
above. Change the vent/drain plug to correspond to the piping procedure 2.
Main valve used for piping should be selected with the maximum pressure of the pro-
cess taken into account (piping parts such as main valve, etc. should be furnished by
CAUTION user). If the main valve and other parts do not meet the rating, it may result in leakage
of gas or liquid which could lead to a hazard.

6.2.1 Piping of differential pressure and flow transmitters (type: FKC.)


Check of high/low pressure sides of transmitter
The detecting unit of the differential pressure transmitter
bears symbols H and L which represent high and low pres-

protective caps. Before piping, be sure to remove the caps. When removing the caps, carefully
protect the threaded portion and sealing face from damage.
Connection of transmitter and impulse pipes
(1) When using the manifold valve, it should be fixed to the transmitter by tightening four oval
flange setbolts (7/16-20UNF), and then the impulse pipe should be connected to the manifold
valve. Tightening torque of 7/16-20UNF mounting bolt should be 30 to 40 N·m (3 to 4 kgf·m).
(2) If a manifold valve is not used, the impulse pipes can directly be screwed into the transmitter. If
thread size does not match between the transmitter and impulse pipes, an oval flange should be
used. Tightening torque of 7/16-20UNF mounting bolt in an oval flange should be 30 to 40 N·m
(3 to 4 kgf·m).
Position of process taps (Horizontal main process piping)
The position of the process tap is determined by the relationship between the condition, charac-
teristics and measuring point of the process fluid.
Note the following figures when planning and installing the piping.

(1) Protection is required to prevent dust from entering through the atmospheric
Important air inlet after installation of the manifold valve.
(2) If process pressure range is narrow (below 10kPa (1000mmH2O)), the follow-
ing should be considered.
• Pressure variation due to wind around atmospheric air inlet
• Temperature variation near process taps
• Difference in atmospheric pressure between process tap and transmitter location
To overcome this, provide atmospheric pressure-side pipe with a proper orifice
and consider accommodating the transmitter and atmospheric air inlet in a box.

Cautions on impulse piping
• For liquid, the impulse pipes should have an upward slope of 1/10 or more between the
process connection and the transmitter to prevent accumulation of gas, etc. in the detecting
unit.
• For gas, the impulse pipes should have a downward slope of 1/10 or more between the
process connection and transmitter to prevent accumulation of moisture, etc. in the detecting
unit.
• Avoid any sharp bends in impulse pipe which may cause gas or moisture to accumulate in
the impulse pipe.
• In order to prevent vibration of the transmitter body and capillary from interfering with
output, the transmitter body should be installed at a vibration-free place and the capillary
should be fixed to a stable support.
• Take care not to apply an excessive force to the transmitter during its connection.
• The impulse pipes used should be suitable for the working temperature, pressure, etc.
• When the measuring fluid is likely to freeze in the cover of the measurement chamber, the
cover needs to be warmed up with steam or a heater.

should be fixed to a stable support.
• Do not shock the seal diaphragm by hitting hard object against it, for example.
• Take care not to apply an excessive force to the flange during connection.

• In order to prevent vibration of the transmitter body and capillary from interfering with
output, the transmitter body should be installed at a vibration-free place and the capillary
should be fixed to a stable support.
• For minimizing the influence by a difference in the ambient temperature, the capillaries on
the high and low pressure sides should be laid together.
• Do not shock the seal diaphragm by hitting a hard object against it, for example.
• Water head pressure due to difference in the height of flange
When there is a difference (D) in flange mounting position between the high-pressure side
and the low-pressure side, a water pressure head “–ρ’D” is applied to the transmitter, so a
zero point shift for the water head pressure (–ρ’D) due to difference in height of flange is
required at range setting as shown in the example of typical piping.
On the FCX-A2 series transmitter, it is made by setting LRV, URV and –ρ’D with HHC (for
details, refer to Item 4 “Adjustment”, 4.1 Adjustment with HHC and operation procedure,

7. WIRING
Cautions on wiring

(1) Application of a voltage exceeding 60 V DC or 40 V AC (exceeding 33 V DC or 23 V AC when


arrester equipped) between “+” and “–” terminals may result in damage to the transmitter.
(2) Use a shielded cable for the transmission line where possible.
(3) Avoid installation of signal cable and power cable in same conduit or cable tray in order to
prevent increased noise. Also, do not bring the signal cable close to large electrical equipment.

In case of an explosionproof arrangement, wiring shall be made in accordance with the


DANGER relevant regulations to ensure the explosionproofing.

7.1 Wiring procedure


• Before making wiring work, be sure to turn OFF the main power to prevent electric
shocks.
• Use wiring materials of correct rating to prevent fire accidents.
CAUTION • After installing the transmitter, firmly close the covers of the transmission unit and
terminal box. If not, rain water enter the transmitter which may result in trouble or
incorrect operation.

Sealing of conduit connection

Use sealing tape, if using metal pipe screw coupling or rubber gasket and fastening gland in the case
of cable (outside diameter ø11) <0.43"> to ensure airtightness of the connection box.

1. If the connection box is located above the transmitter when using a protective tube
Important for the wiring, then moisture may enter the protective tube and have an adverse ef-
fect on the transmitter. So maintaining airtightness of the connection box is an im-
portant practice.
2. The thread of conduit tube should meet the selected size and a seal fixture should be
used.

• The unused conduit connection is of great importance to flameproofing and moisture


Important prevention. So be sure to tighten the flush screw and packing into the connection.
• When performing an insulation check after wiring, use a Megger (insulation resis-
tance meter) of 250 V DC or less and avoid applying a high voltage. If an arrester is
equipped, avoid the insulation resistance test and the dielectric strength measure-
ment.

7.2 Power voltage and load resistance

A1 BUILT-IN ARRESTER
General

An arrester is used to protect a transmitter or receiver from an abnormal voltage such as lightning
surges induced into signal lines. A built-in type arrester is mounted behind the terminal unit. A
nameplate marked “with arrester” is attached to the terminal unit of transmitter with a built-in arrester.

Installation

The built-in arrester should be used in combination with panel mounting type arrester (type PXC) for
distributor protection.

(with arrester) type arrester

Grounding

Since transmitter and arrester groundings are internally connected together, user have only to connect
the external grounding terminals to ground.
Grounding terminal must be used, in case of the explosionproof or intrinsic safety type transmitter.

1. Grounding resistance should be 100Ω or less.


Important 2. Avoid common grounding with a lightning rod.

Maintenance

Check of arrester
• Measure output current from the transmitter check terminals and output current to flow into
transmitter (see figure below).
When current is measured with an ammeter connected to CK+ and CK– terminals, the inter-
nal resistance of the ammeter should be 12Ω or less.
• If the measured two output current are the same, the arrester is normal.
• In case the measured values have a difference of 0.1% (0.016mA) or more, the arrester is not
functioning.
• In the above case, the arrester unit (terminal unit) should be replaced with a new one.
Limitation of insulation resistance and dielectric strength test
An insulation resistance and dielectric strength test should be avoided as a rule, since it may
damage the arrester.

A2 CALIBRATION
Preparation for calibration

The transmitter should be calibrated in a calibration room. For calibration of each transmitter, the
following devices are required.
• Pressure source and pressure measuring equipment (should have as high an accuracy as possible)
* Measurable ranges are listed in the table below.
• Power supply: DC power supply (24 V DC) or Fuji Electric FC series power supply unit
(type PXJ)
• Load resistor: Standard resistor 250 W (within ±0.0125 W)
• Measuring device: Digital voltmeter (capable of measuring transmitter output with an accuracy
better than 0.1%)
* Use meter having a 5-digit display.
• Hand Held Communicator (HHC) type FXW

Calibration procedure

(1) Make wiring according to the diagram below.


Connect DC power supply (power source), digital voltmeter (measuring device), standard resis-
tance and HHC (Hand Held Communicator):
When current is measured with an ammeter connected to CK+ and CK – terminals, the internal
resistance of the ammeter should be 12Ω or less.

HHC

Digital voltmeter

DC power supply
Load resistance

Standard resistance

Important For communication with the HHC, a load resistor of 250Ω is necessary.

(2) Calibration of output circuit (D/A)


Calibrate the output circuit with reference to “Calibration of output circuit” in “ADJUSTMENT”
in Chapter 4.

(3) Zero/span adjustment


Refer to “Zero/span adjustment” in Chapter 4.
(4) Accuracy test
Apply input pressures in the order of 0%, 25%, 50%, 75%, 100%, 75%, 50%, 25% and 0%, and
read output at each input pressure.
Make sure the difference between each output value and input pressure (%) is within the accu-
racy rating listed in the table below.
The voltage values in the table are dependent on use of “DC power supply + standard resistor
250Ω + digital voltmeter (measuring device).
