$SSOLFDWLRQ5DQJH
The SITRANS P, Series DS III transmitter measures the pressure, the differential
pressure, the absolute pressure or the filling level of non-corrosive and corrosive
gases, vapors and liquids depending on the version. The output signal is a load-
independent direct current of 4 to 20 mA.
Transmitters with intrinsic safety and explosion-proof degrees of protection can be

used in areas where there is an explosion hazard (zone 1). The devices have EC test
certification and fulfil the appropriate harmonized European standards of CENELEC.
The transmitters are available with remote seals of different designs for special
applications, e.g. measuring high viscous substances.
The transmitter can be parameterized locally with three input keys or externally via
HART. The following table describes the basic parameters. Other parameters are
accessible via HART for special applications.

1.1.1 Pressure
This version of the device measures the pressure of non-corrosive and corrosive
gases, vapors and liquids. Measuring spans between 0.01 mbar and 400 bar are
possible.
1.1.2 Differential pressure and flow
This version of the device is used to measure
• the differential pressure, e.g. the active pressure,

• of a small positive or negative excess pressure,
• of the flow q ~ ∆p (together with a flow control valve)
• of non-corrosive and corrosive gases, vapors and liquids.
Measuring spans between 1 mbar and 30 bar are possible.

12 A5E00047092-01
1.1.3 Filling level
This version of the device with mounting flange measures the filling level of non-
corrosive and corrosive liquids in open and closed containers. Measuring spans
between 25 mbar and 5 bar are possible. The nominal diameter of the mounting
flange is DN 80 or DN100 or 3 or 4 inch.
In the filling level measurement on an open container the low pressure connection of
the measuring cell remains open (measurement ”compared to atmospheric”), in the
measurement on a closed container this connection is usually connected to the
vessel to compensate the static pressure.
The wetted parts are made of different materials (see Chapter 9) according to the
required corrosion resistance.
1.1.4 Absolute pressure
This version of the device measures the pressure of non-corrosive and corrosive
gases, vapors and liquids.
There are two series: one ”differential pressure” series and one ”pressure” series.
The ”differential pressure series” is characterized by a high overload capacity.
Measuring spans between 8.3 mbar and 30 bar are possible.

A5E00047092-01 13
1.2 Design and functional principle
The SITRANS P, Series DS III transmitter is ready for operation immediately after
installation (Chapter 7). The settable measuring span corresponds to the
specification on the rating plate (see Figure 1). If a customized setting is made at the
factor, the start of scale and full scale are specified on the measuring point plate.
If necessary, the parameters can also be changed during commissioning (Chapter

9) by simple operating procedures.
1.2.1 Design
The device consists of different components depending on what the customer has
specified in the order. The possible variants are listed in Chapter 11.
The rating plate (Figure 1 and 1, Figure 3) with the order number is on the side of
the housing. You can determine the optional constructional details and the possible
measuring range (physical properties of the built-in sensor element) with the
specified number and specifications in Chapter 11.

Figure 2 Example of a license plate
The electronics housing is made of diecast aluminum or stainless steel precision

casting. There is an unscrewable, round cover on the front and rear. The front cover
(4, Figure 3) can be designed as a window in order to be able to read measured
values directly from the digital display. The inlet (2, Figure 3) to the electrical
connection box is located on the side, either left or right. The opening which is not
used is sealed by a blanking plug (e.g. 5, Figure 4). The PE conductor terminal
(2, Figure 4) is mounted at the front of the housing.
The electrical connection box is accessible for power supply and screen when
the rear cover (1, Figure 4) is removed. The bottom part of the housing contains
the measuring cell with process connection (8, Figure 3). This is secured turning by
a locking screw (7, Figure 3). The modular concept of the SITRANS P, Series DS III
allows the measuring cell and electronics to be exchanged as required. The set
paramter data are retained. The procedure for exchanging the electronics is
explained in Chapter 6.
At the top of the housing you can see a plastic cover (3, Figure 3) which can be
opened. The input keyboard is beneath this.

1.2.2 Mode of operation
This chapter describes how the transmitter operates and what protection and safety
measures you need to observe. First of all the electronics are described on a
functional diagram level, then the sensors used for the individual measuring modes
in the various device versions.
The process variable to be measured is referred to generally in the sections which

follow as the input variable.
1.2.2.1 Mode of operation of the electronics
The sensor signal is amplified by an instrument amplifier (2) and converted into a
digital signal in an analog-digital converter (3). This is evaluated in a microprocessor,
its linearity and temperature behavior corrected and converted into the 4-20 mA
output current in a digital-analog converter (5). A diode circuit (10) provides reverse
polarity protection. An external display (voltage drop < 0.5 V) can also be connected
here. The measuring cell-specific data of the electronics and the data for transmitter
parameterization are stored in two non-volatile memories (6).
You can parameterize the transmitter directly at the measuring point with the three
input keys (8) and view measuring results, error messages and modes of operation
on the digital display (9). The HART modem (7) enables parameterization by a
protocol according to HART specifications.

1.2.2.2 Pressure
The pressure pe is fed in through the process connection (3, Figure 6) of the
measuring cell (2). It is passed further through the seal diaphragm (4) and the filling
liquid (5) to the silicon pressure sensor (6) and its measuring diaphragm flexes as a
result. Four piezo-resistors in bridge circuit doped in the measuring diaphragm
change their resistance as a result. The change in resistance causes a bridge output
voltage proportional to the input pressure.
The transmitters with measuring spans ≤ 63 bar measure the input pressure
compared with atmospheric, those with measuring spans ≥ 160 bar compared with a
vacuum.

1.2.2.3 Differential pressure and flow
The differential pressure is transmitted via the seal diaphragms (7, Figure 7) and the
filling liquid to the silicon pressure sensor (5). On exceeding the measuring limits, the
overload diaphragm (6) flexes until one of the seal diaphragms (7) comes into
contact with the body of the measuring cell (4) and protects the silicon pressure
sensor (5) against overloading. The seal diaphragm is deflected by the resulting
differential pressure. Four piezo-resistors in bridge circuit doped in the measuring
diaphragm change their resistance as a result. The change in resistance causes a
bridge output voltage proportional to the differential pressure.

1.2.2.4 Filling level
The input pressure (hydrostatic pressure) acts through the seal diaphragm (10,
Figure 8) at the mounting flange hydraulically on the measuring cell. The differential
pressure applied at the measuring cell is transmitted via the seal diaphragms (6) and
the filling liquid (7) to the silicon pressure sensor (3). On exceeding the measuring
limits, the overload diaphragm (5) is deflected until one of the seal diaphragms (6)
comes into contact with the body of the measuring cell (4) and protects the silicon
pressure sensor (3) against overloading. The measuring diaphragm is flexed by the
differential pressure. Four piezo-resistors in bridge circuit doped in the measuring
diaphragm change their resistance as a result. The change in resistance causes a

1.2.2.5 Absolute pressure from the differential pressure series
The absolute pressure is transmitted via the seal diaphragm (6, Figure 9) and the
filling liquid (7) to the silicon pressure sensor (3). On exceeding the measuring limits,
the overload diaphragm (5) is deflected until the seal diaphragm (6) comes into
contact with the body of the measuring cell (4) and protects the silicon pressure
sensor (3) against overloading. The pressure difference between the input pressure
(pe) and the reference pressure (8) on the low pressure side of the measuring cell
flexes the measuring diaphragm. Four piezo-resistors in bridge circuit doped in the
measuring diaphragm change their resistance as a result. The change in resistance
causes a bridge output voltage proportional to the absolute pressure.

Local operation and display
3
3.1 General operating instructions
You operate the device with the keys [M], [↑] and [↓] (Figure 16). These are
accessible when you loosen the two screws of the protective cover (3, Figure 3) and
lift it up. The cover must be closed again after operation.
The device is normally in the measured value display mode. You can then select an
option with the [M] key and change a value with [↑] and [↓]. You accept the selected
option or changed value by pressing the [M] key again. Exceptions to this procedure
are described in the explanations of the individual device functions.
It generally applies that:
• If more than 2 minutes have passed since last pressing a key, the setting is saved
and the measured value display is returned to automatically.
• Numerical values are always set from the least significant digit still displayed. In
the case of an overflow in the key repetition mode it switches to the next
significant digit and only this continues to be counted. This procedure serves for
fast rough setting over a wide numeric range. For fine setting you have to release
the desired key ([↑] or [↓]) and press it again. Exceeding of the upper or lower
measured value limits are shown on the display with ↑ or ↓
• The keylock must be released for keyboard operation.
• When you operate the transmitter locally, write accesses via HART are refused
during this time – it is possible to read data, e.g. measured values, at any time.

A5E00047092-01 25
3.1.1 Digital display
A plug-in standard display is used for local display of the measured value (1,
Figure 12) with unit (2), sign (6), status (5, 7) and mode (4). The root sign (3) is used

3.1.3 Unit display/bargraph
The unit display consists of five 14-segment fields to represent the type of unit as a
percentage, physical unit or current value. A bargraph which represents the percentage
pressure value in the range from 0 to 100% can be displayed alternately with the unit. The
”bargraph” function is switched off in the standard setting.

A5E00047092-01 27
3.1.4 Error signaling
If hardware or software errors occur in the transmitter, the ”Error” message appears
in the measured value display.
A message text runs through the unit display indicating the type of error. This
diagnostic information is also available via HART.
Figure 14 Error message, example ”Senso(r)”
3.1.5 Signal range
The output signal is divided into defined areas (Figure 18).
The transmitter converts the measured pressure into an output current which is
normally in the range from 4 mA (start of scale) to 20 mA (full scale).
Measured values below and above the range limits are displayed correctly when the
measuring limits are exceeded. The ”UNDER” message or ”OVER” message for the
selected unit appears alternately in place of the bargraph. The possible overflow
range can be set via HART. If the upper or lower range limits are exceeded, the
output current remains constant. "↑" or "↓" appears on the digital display.
+
Note
The setting of the overflow range and fault current range can be selected freely by
HART (see Chapter 5, ”Functions/Operation by HART”). Useful setting possibilities
are shown in Figure 24.

3.1.6 Mode display
The currently selected mode is shown in the mode display. In the following example
(Figure 15) a damping of 0.2 s has been set in mode 4.

3.2 Operation with the keyboard
The transmitter can be parameterized locally with the keyboard (Figure 16). You can
select and execute all the functions described in the Table 3 with settable modes
(M-key). These are available in an extended scope of functions via HART (see

3.2.1 Cancel keyboard disable and write protection
You can cancel a set keyboard disable (LA, LO, LS) or a write protection for HART
(L) with the input keys. To do this, press the [M] key for 5 s.
Another keyboard disable (LL) is possible in HART (see Table 6; pg. 51)
3.2.2 Set/adjust start of scale, full scale
You can set or adjust the start of scale and full scale with the input keys. Modes 2
and 3 from Table 3 are available for this. This allows implementation of rising or
falling characteristics.
3.2.2.1 Theoretical relationships
Setting
In setting, a desired start of scale and/or a desired full scale is assigned to the
standard current values (4 mA/20 mA). Prerequirements: Two reference pressures
(pr1, pr2) provided by the process or generated by a pressure transmitter. After
setting, the measuring span specified on the measuring point plate may no longer
match the setting.
A turn-down up to a maximum 1:100 (span ratio = r, turn down) can be reached

depending on the series and measuring range.
+
Note
The measuring span is not changed by setting the start of scale. By setting the full
scale the start of scale remains unchanged, you should therefore set the start of
scale first, then the full scale.
The relationship between the measured pressure and the generated output current
is linear (exception: square rooting characteristic in differential pressure
transmitters). You can calculate the output current with the following equation
(Figure 17).
I = output current
p = pressure p - MA
I= * 16 mA + 4 mA
MA = start of scale
ME - MA
ME = full scale

Explanations to the example (Figure 18):
A: Given a transmitter with a measuring span of 0 to 16 bar. Set to a measuring

span of 2 to 14 bar.
B: Apply 2 bar process pressure. Set the device to mode 2 with the mode key [M].
The display shows the set mode at the bottom left. Set the start of scale by
pressing the [↑] and [↓] keys on the value for about two seconds. An output
current of 4 mA is then generated at 2 bar input pressure.
C: Apply 14 bar process pressure. Set the device to mode 3 with the mode key [M].
The full scale is set by pressing the [↑] and [↓] keys on the value for about 2
seconds. An output current of 20 mA is then generated at 14 bar input pressure.
D: You can calculate the output current for any input pressure with the specified
equation (Figure 17).
Adjusting
When adjusting, you can assign the start of scale and/or the full scale to any desired
current value using one reference pressure. This function is particularly suitable if the
pressures necessary for start of scale and full scale are unavailable. After adjusting,
the measuring range specified on the measuring point plate may no longer match the
setting.
Requirements: Applied pressure (reference pressure), the set start of scale and full
scale are known.

calculate the current to be adjusted for the desired start of scale (2 bar) at the
applied reference pressure and then adjust it with the [↑] or [↓] (13 mA) keys.
C: Set the device to mode 3 with the [M] key. Using the equations (Figure 19) first
calculate the current to be adjusted for the desired full scale (14 bar) at the
applied reference pressure and then adjust it with the [↑] or [↓] (16 mA) keys.

3.2.2.2 Practical application
Set start of scale and full scale
The device sets the output current for the start of scale to 4 mA and the full scale to
20 mA when the input keys are pressed according to the following instructions.
• This is how to set the start of scale:

− Apply reference pressure
− Set mode 2
− Set start of scale to 4 mA with [↑] and [↓]
− Save with [M]
• This is how to set the full scale:
− Set mode 3
− Set full scale to 20 mA with [↑] and [↓]
− Save with [M]
Set start of scale and full scale
If the output current is not set but adjusted continuously, you have to calculate the
currents to be adjusted mathematically (Chapter 3.2.2.1, pg. 31). It is possible to
make an adjustment for the start of scale, the full scale or both values one after the
other.
Warning!
Only certified ammeters may be used in intrinsically safe circuits.
The housing cover may not be unscrewed from ”explosion-proof” transmitters type
in hazardous areas.

− Set mode 2
− Set the output current of the start of scale with [↑] or [↓]
− Save with [M]
− Set mode 3
− Set the output current of the full scale with [↑] or [↓]
− Save with [M]

34 A5E00047092-01
3.2.3 Electric damping
You can set the time constant of the electric damping in steps of 0.1 s between 0 and
100 s with the input keyboard. This damping acts additionally to the device-internal
basic damping.
• This is how you set the electric damping:

− Set mode 4
− Set the desired damping with [↑] and [↓]
− Save with [M]
3.2.4 Blind setting of start of scale and full scale
In modes 5 and 6 you can set/adjust the start of scale/full scale with the input keys
and without applying pressure. It is also possible to change between rising and falling
characteristics here.
3.2.4.1 Theoretical relationships
First select the desired physical unit. Then you can set/adjust two pressure values
with the [↑] and [↓] keys and save them in the device. These theoretical pressure
values are assigned to the standard current values 4 mA and 20 mA. After adjusting,
the measuring span specified on the measuring point plate may no longer match the
setting.
A turn-down up to a maximum 1:100 (span ratio = r, turn down) can be reached

depending on the series and measuring range.
The relationship between the measured pressure and the generated output current
is linear (exception: square rooting characteristic in differential pressure
transmitters).

A: Given a transmitter with a measuring span of 0 to 16 bar Adjust it to a measuring

span of 2 to 14 bar without applying pressure.
B: Set the device to mode 5 with the mode key [M]. Set the start of scale to 2 bar by
pressing the [↑] and [↓] keys. If 2 bar input pressure are applied later, an output
current of 4 mA is generated.
C: Set the device to mode 6 with the mode key [M]. Set the full scale to 14 bar by
pressing the [↑] or [↓] keys. If 14 bar input pressure are applied later, an output
current of 20 mA is generated.
3.2.4.2 Practical application
Set start of scale and full scale (blind)
The device sets the start of scale to the lower and the full scale to the upper sensor
limit when you operate the keys as follows:
• This is how to set the start of scale (blind):

− Set mode 5
− Press [↑] and [↓] simultaneously and hold for 2 s. The start of scale is set to
the lower sensor limit.
• This is how to set the full scale (blind):
− Set mode 6
− Press [↑] and [↓] simultaneously and hold for 2 s. The full scale is set to the
upper sensor limit.

36 A5E00047092-01
Adjusting start of scale and full scale (blind):
If the pressure for the start of scale and full scale is not to be set but adjusted
continuously, you have to operate the keys as follows:
• This is how to adjust the start of scale (blind):

− Set mode 5
− Adjust the pressure value of the start of scale with [↑] or [↓]
− Save with [M]
• This is how to adjust the full scale (blind):
− Set mode 6
− Adjust the pressure value of the full scale with [↑] or [↓]
− Save with [M]
3.2.5 Zero adjustment (position correction)
You can correct the zero error resulting from the installation position with a zero
adjustment. To do this, ventilate the device (pressure, differential pressure, flow,
filling level) or evacuate it (absolute pressure, <0.1‰ of the measuring span). Then
correct the existing offset so that the value 0 bar appears in the display.
+
Note
The settings of start of scale and full scale remain the same. Correction is possible
by calling the factory setting via HART.
Caution!
The start of scale is in a vacuum in absolute pressure transmitters! The zero

• This is how to set the zero adjustment:

− Vent transmitter (pressure, differential pressure, flow, filling level) or evacuate
(absolute pressure, <0.1‰ of the measuring span)
− Set mode 7
− Set zero with [↑] and [↓]
− Save with [M]

A5E00047092-01 37
3.2.6 Current transmitter
You can switch the transmitter to constant current mode with the [M] key. In this case
the current no longer corresponds to the process variable. The following output
currents can be set independently of the input pressure. Intermediate values can also
be set via HART (see Chapter 5.8, pg. 49).
• 3.6 mA
• 4.0 mA
• 12.0 mA
• 20.0 mA
• 22.8 mA
You cancel the current transmitter function again with the [M] key.
• This is how to set the constant current:

− Set mode 8
− Activate constant current with [↑] and [↓] simultaneously
− Activate constant current with [↑] or [↓]
− Turn off constant current with [M]
− Exit constant current mode with [M]
3.2.7 Failure current
In mode 9, select whether the upper or lower fault current is to be output in the event
of a fault or an alarm. The default is the lower fault current. The value of the upper
and lower current can be altered via HART (see Chapter 5.9, pg. 49). Here the
default values are 3.6 mA and 22.8 mA.
• This is how to set the fault current:

− Set mode 9
− Select the fault current with [↑] and [↓]
− Save fault current with [M]
Fault currents can be caused by:
• HW/FW alarm (see also Chapter 5.9, pg. 49)

• Diagnostic alarm (see also Chapter 5.20, pg. 56)
• Sensor break

38 A5E00047092-01
3.2.8 Key and/or function disable
In mode 10 you can disable several functions which are generally possible with
keyboard operation. In addition you can activate a write protection to protect the
saved parameters. The following settings are possible:
Table 4 Meaning of the mode displays
Symbol Explanations
0 No disable
LA Input keys disabled, operation via HART possible. Input key function ”Release
keyboard disable” (see Chapter 3.2.1, pg. 31)
LO Input keys partly disabled, only start of scale can be set (see Chapter 4),
operation via HART possible. Input key function ”Release keyboard disable”
(see Chapter 3.2.1, pg. 31)
LS Input keys partly displayed, only start of scale and full scale can be set
(see Chapter 4), operation via HART possible. Input key function ”Release
keyboard disable” (see Chapter 3.2.1, pg. 31)
L Write protection, operation by HART not possible. Input key function ”Release
write protection” (see Chapter 3.2.1, pg. 31)
If the disable modes LS or LO are active, the keyboard operation works as described
in Chapter 4. Another keyboard disable (LL) is possible in HART (see Table 6; pg. 51)
+
Note
If the LO or LS disable is selected, it is recommended to select the measured

value display ”Current” in ”mA” or ”%” first in mode 13. Otherwise a change in the
output variable is not detected when pressing the [↑] and [↓] key
• This is how you set the key disable and write protection:
− Set mode 10
− Select the disable mode with [↑] and [↓]
− Save disable mode with [M]
+
Note
When delivered with a blanking cover, the disable mode LS is active, i.e. only zero
and span can be changed. If you operate the device permanently with a blanking
cover, make sure the disable mode LS remains set.

)ORZPHDVXUHPHQW RQO\GLIIHUHQWLDOSUHVVXUH
You can select the characteristic of the output current as follows:
• linear (proportional to the differential pressure)

• square rooting (proportional to the flow)
Below the application point of the square rooting characteristic the output current can
either be output linearly or switched off (see Figure 22).
• This is how to set the characteristic:

− Set mode 11
− Select the characteristic type with [↑] and [↓]
− Save with [M]
• This is how to set the root application point:
− Set mode 12
− Select the application point between 5 and 15 % with [↑] and [↓]
− Save with [M]

Mode 12 cannot be selected when the "linear" measuring mode 11 is set.
If the input pressure is selected as a display in mode 13 and the square rooting
characteristic in mode 11, the differential pressure corresponding to the flow and
the root sign are displayed.

3.2.10 Measured value display
In mode 13 you can set one of three display types with the input keys.
• Display in mA
• Display in % (of the set measuring range)
• Display in a unit of pressure (selectable in mode 14)
• This is how to set the unit type:

− Set mode 13
− Select the unit type with [↑] and [↓]
− Save with [M]
3.2.11 Selection of unit of pressure
In mode 14 you can select a desired unit of pressure for the display from a list with
the input keys (see also Figure 23). The unit of pressure set via HART is not
influenced by this (see Chapter 5.13, pg. 51).
• This is how to set the unit of pressure:

− Set mode 14
− Select the unit of pressure with [↑] and [↓]
− Save with [M]
If the display capacity of the digital display is exceeded, ”9.9.9.9.9” appears in the
display.
In the measuring mode the selected unit is only visible in the display if you have
selected a unit of pressure display in mode 13. Otherwise ”mA” or ”%” is displayed.

Local operation without display
or with activated keylock 4
If the digital display has been removed or the keyboard is locked or partially locked
(as-delivered state in devices with a cover without window, see also Chapter 3.2.8,
pg. 39), restricted operation with the keyboard is still possible. In addition to the
”Cancel keyboard disable and write protection” function with the [M]-key (see also
Chapter 3.2.1, pg. 31), you can also set or adjust the start of scale and full scale. The
different modes can no longer be selected.
4.1 Set start of scale, full scale
The differences between set and adjust start of scale/full scale have already been
described in Chapter 3.2.2.1, pg. 31. The same conditions and mathematical
relationships apply as for operating the display.
The SITRANS P, Series DS III transmitter sets the output current for the start of
scale to 4 mA and the full scale to 20 mA when the input keys are pressed according
to the following instructions. An ammeter is not required.

− Apply reference pressure corresponding to the start of scale
− Press [↑] and [↓] simultaneously so that the start of scale is set to 4 mA and
saved
− Apply reference pressure corresponding to the full scale
− Press and hold [M]
− Press [↑] and [↓] simultaneously in addition so that the full scale is set to 20 mA
and saved
If the output current is not set but adjusted continuously, you have to calculate the
currents to be adjusted mathematically (Chapter 3.2.2.1, pg. 31). It is possible to
make an adjustment for the start of scale, the full scale or both values one after the
other.

For operation via HART it is necessary to use a HART Communicator (see the
foldout in the appendix) or a PC software such as SIMATIC PDM. Please consult the
appropriate operating instructions or online help to find out how to operate this tool.
The full scope of functions of the SITRANS P, Series DS III is available via the HART
communication.

5.2 Measuring operation
In measuring operation the process variables pressure and temperature are

provided as digital information via the HART interface. The HART communication is
signaled using the communication character (see Figure 12).
See Chapter 3.1.1, pg. 26 for further information about the measured value display.
5.3 Setting start of scale, full scale
You can set start of scale and full scale via HART. You can implement rising or falling
characteristics with this function (see also Chapter 3.2.2, pg. 31).
The pressure unit can be set independently for the display and the HART
communication.
5.4 Blind setting of start of scale and full scale
The start of scale and full scale can be set without applying a reference pressure.
Both values are freely selectable within the sensor limits. The maximum turn down is
1:100 depending on the series and measuring range.
5.5 Zero adjustment (position correction)
You can correct the zero error resulting from the installation position with a zero
adjustment. To do this, ventilate the device (pressure, differential pressure, flow,
filling level) or evacuate it (absolute pressure, <0.1 ‰ of the measuring span).
Caution!
The start of scale is in a vacuum in absolute pressure transmitters! The zero

Note
The useful measuring range is reduced by the pre-pressure. Example: At a pre-
pressure of 100 mbar the useful measuring range of a 1 bar transmitter is reduced
to 0 to 0.9 bar.
5.6 Electric damping
You can adjust the time constant of the electric damping within a range of 0 to 100 s.
5.7 Fast measured value acquisition (fast response mode)
This mode is designed exclusively for special applications such as fast acquisition of
pressure jumps, e. g. pressure drop in the event of a burst pipe. Here, the internal
measured value acquisition is accelerated at the cost of accuracy. You get an
increased low-frequency noise of the measured value. For this reason, good
accuracy can only be achieved when setting to maximum measuring span.
5.8 Current transmitter
The transmitter can be switched to constant current operation for test purposes. In
this case the current no longer corresponds to the process variable. A ”C” appears
in the mode indicator of the digital display.
5.9 Fault current
With this function you can adjust the value of the lower (< 4 mA) and upper (> 20 mA)
fault current (Figure 24). Both indicate a hardware/firmware error, a sensor break or
reaching an alarm limit (diagnostic alarm). In this case "Error" appears in the digital
display (see Chapter 3.1.4, pg. 28). You can obtain a detailed list from SIMATIC PDM
or the HART Communicator.

5.10 Setting the current limits
The value of the upper and lower fault current and the upper and lower limit of the
linear modulation range are freely selectable within the given limits of the current
modulation range (see Figure 24).
The specified accuracy of the current output signal only applies within the current
limits 4 to 20 mA.

5.11 Disabling of input keys and write protection
With this function you can disable the input keys or activate a write protection to
protect the saved parameters. The following settings are possible:

LL Input keys fully disabled. The disable can only be released via HART
For operating the device keyboard with activated write protection see also Chapter
3.2.8, pg. 39
5.12 Measured value display
You can set one of three types of units for the device display with this function:
• Display in ”mA”
• Display in ”%” (of the set measuring range)
• Display in a unit of pressure, e.g. ”bar”, ”mbar”, ”Pa” etc.
5.13 Selection of unit of pressure
With this function you can select a desired unit of pressure (see also Figure 23) from
a list of defined units.
The unit of pressure can be set independently for the display and the HART
communication. You can couple the setting of both units optionally.

A5E00047092-01 51
5.14 Display/bargraph
Here you can switch on the ”Bargraph” function which is displayed in alternation with
the unit display. The ”bargraph” factory setting is ”off”.
5.15 Sensor adjustment
With the sensor adjustment it is possible to set the characteristic of the transmitter at
two adjustment points. The results are then correct measured values at the
adjustment points. The adjustment points are freely selectable within the nominal
range.
Devices not turned down at the factory are adjusted at 0 bar of the upper nominal
range limit, devices turned down at the factory at the lower and upper limit of the set
measuring range.
Application examples:
1. The typical measured value of a not turned down device (e.g. 63 bar) is 50 bar.
In order to achieve the greatest possible accuracy for this value you can make
the upper sensor adjustment at 50 bar.
2. A 63 bar transmitter is turned down to 4 to 7 bar. You achieve the greatest
possible accuracy when you select the lower sensor adjustment point at 4 bar
and the upper one at 7 bar.
+
Note
Pressure transmitters must always be sufficiently accurate.
5.15.1 Trimming the lower sensor adjustment point
The pressure at which the lower sensor adjustment is to be made is applied to the
transmitter. With SIMATIC PDM or the HART Communicator you instruct the
transmitter to accept this pressure. This represents an offset shift of the characteristic
(1., Figure 25).

52 A5E00047092-01
5.15.2 Trimming the upper sensor adjustment point
The pressure at which the upper sensor adjustment is to be made is applied to the
transmitter. With SIMATIC PDM or the HART Communicator you instruct the
transmitter to accept this pressure. This corrects the characteristic slope (2., Figure
25). The lower sensor adjustment point is not affected. The upper adjustment point
must be greater than the lower adjustment point.

5.16 Current transmitter adjustment
You can adjust the current output by the transmitter independently of the pressure
measuring circuit. This function is suitable for compensating inaccuracies in the
operating sequence following the transmitter.
Application example:
The current should be measured as a voltage drop from 1 to 5 V at a resistance of

250 Ω +/− 5 %. To compensate the tolerance of the resistor, set the current
transmitter so that the voltage drop at 4 mA is exactly 1 V and at 20 mA exactly 5 V.

Note
A used multimeter must always be sufficiently accurate.
1. Adjustment at 4 mA:
Instruct the transmitter to output 4 mA under menu item Current transmitter
adjustment. Read the measured value from the ammeter and enter it for example
via SIMATIC PDM. The transmitter uses this value for offset correction of the
current.
2. Adjustment at 20 mA:
Instruct the transmitter to output 20 mA under menu item Current transmitter
adjustment. Read the measured value from the ammeter and enter it for example
via SIMATIC PDM. The transmitter uses this value for slope correction of the
current. This does not alter the value for 4 mA.

5.17 Factory calibration
You can return the transmitter to its original state with the factory calibration. You can
select the scope of the recovered parameters in a menu with SIMATIC PDM or the
HART Communicator in four steps:
1. Cancelation of the current adjustment

2. Cancelation of the sensor zero adjustment (position correction)
3. Cancelation of the pressure corrections (zero adjustment and sensor
adjustment)
4. Cancelation of all parameters relevant to measured value processing such as
start of scale, full scale, electric damping, display unit, current adjustment, zero
adjustment (position correction), sensor adjustment, measuring speed, alarm
current limits, alarm setting, overflow ranges of the current.
5.18 Static configuration data
Under another menu item in the appropriate operating program you can read and
write a series of sensor-specific material data. These values are not contained in the
”Factory calibration” function, i.e. changes in the device remain permanently stored.
List of adjustable material parameters: flange type, flange material, vent valve
material, remote seal type, filling medium, O-ring material, remote seal, seal
diaphragm material, number of remote seals, sensor filling medium, sensor seal
diaphragm material, transmitter version, housing material, tube length, process
connection, electrical connection, process flange screw material, position vent valve.
5.19 Flow measurement (only differential pressure)
You can select the characteristic of the output current via HART for the ”differential
pressure and flow” device as follows:
• linear (proportional to the differential pressure)

• square rooting (proportional to the flow)
The application point of the square rooting can then be selected between 5 and 15 %
(see also Figure 22).

A5E00047092-01 55
5.20 Diagnostic functions
Communication with the HART interface enables activation and evaluation of

numerous diagnostic functions from a central control station or locally. The
simulation of pressure and temperature measured values is possible in addition to
calibration/service timers, slave pointers and limit value monitoring components.
The diagnostic concept of the SITRANS P, Series DS III is conceived such that a
(diagnostic) warning and a (diagnostic) alarm can be parameterized for diagnostic
functions which serve for monitoring limit values (e.g. monitoring of current
saturation).
• Diagnostic warning: The device transmits the diagnostic event that has
occurred via HART. The current output value remains unaffected. The moving
text ”Diagnostic Warning” appears in the display alternately with the unit.
• Diagnostic alarm: The device goes into the fault current state. The messages
”ERROR” and as a moving text ”Diagnostic Warning” or ”Diagnostic Alarm”
appear in the display. The diagnostric event is provided additionally via HART.
The standard setting for all warnings and alarms is off. You can set either only the
diagnostic warning or diagnostic alarm and warning optionally. To do this use the
HART Communicator or SIMATIC PDM. See the foldout for operation of the HART
Communicator in the appendix or the help functions of the SIMATIC PDM software
for the necessary steps.
5.20.1 Operating hours counter
Operating hours counters for the electronics and the sensor can be read out via
HART (PDM or Communicator). The counters are activated the first time the
transmitter is started. If the device is disconnected from ist power supply the counter
readings are stored automatically in the non-volatile memories. It can therefore
access the latest counter readings the next time it is restarted. The operating hours
counters cannot be reset.
5.20.2 Calibration timer/service timer
You can wind up a two-stage timer to ensure regular calibration of the electronics and
for service work on the sensor. A calibration or service warning appears after a first
time expires. On expiry of a second time set as a time difference, a diagnostic alarm
is signaled and a fault current is output (see also Chapter 5.9, pg. 49).

56 A5E00047092-01
You must acknowledge the warnings and alarms to perform the calibration work.
Then you can reset the timers and switch off the monitoring function. The calibration
intervals for the electronics are given by the following equation:
(necessary accuracy - probable total error)

Calibration interval = -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
stability/month
5.20.3 Slave pointer
This device offers three pairs of slave pointers with which you can monitor three
measuring variables pressure, sensor temperature and electronics temperature for
negative and positive peak values. Per measured value a resettable slave pointer
saves the maximum and minimum peak values long-term in the two non-volatile
memories. The values are then reavailable after restarting the device. The slave
pointers are also updated during a simulation (see Chapter 5.21, pg. 59).

5.20.4 Limit value components
The diagnostic functions of this device offer you the possibility of monitoring
measured values in parameterizable limits and having their violation reported by a
warning (via HART communication) or a fault current (analog) of a superior level.
5.20.4.1 Monitoring the current saturation
You can monitor the current output in the saturation range with a simple limit value
component. This component is parameterized and activated via HART (PDM or
Communicator). For this you have to parameterize two times. The first of these
determines how long the current output may be in saturation (reponse time) before
an alarm is triggered and the device outputs its set fault current. The second time
(hold time) determines the duration of the alarm.
In the first example (Figure 28) the response time begins at time t1 when the current
reaches the parameterized saturation limit for the first time. At t2 the response time
ends and the hold time begins. The alarm is canceled immediately when the
parameterized hold time has already expired (t3) and the current does not drop back
below the saturation limit before this.
In the second example the duration of current saturation is shorter than the response
time (t1, t2). In this case the device does not go into the ”fault current” state.
In the third example the current only drops below the lower saturation limit for a short
time. The fault current is not switched off until the end of the hold time (t3).

5.21 Simulation
With the ”Simulation” diagnostic function you can receive and process (simulated)
measuring data locally or in a central station without an applied process pressure or
temperature value. You can therefore run individual processes ”cold” and thus
simulate process states. In addition you can check the line from the control station to
the individual transmitters by applying simulation values.
The value to be simulated can be preset as a fixed value or in the form of a ramp
function. The simulation of pressure and temperature values is handled identically in
parameterization and function so that only the general simulation methods ”fixed
value” and ”ramp function” are explained below.
For security reasons all the simulation data are only kept in the RAM. This means
any simulation which may be activated is switched off when the device is restarted.
You can simulate the pressure and both temperature values. You must note that
changing the temperatures by simulation has no effect on the measured pressure
value.

5.21.1 Simulation as a fixed value
Under consideration of the physical unit you can parameterize a fixed simulation
value for all three possible simulation lines. You can simulate the pressure and both
temperature values simultaneously. As long as the pressure simulation is switched
on, the transmitter does not react to changes in the process pressure. The current
output value is set according to the pressure default. Simulation of the temperature
values has no influence on the current output. It can only be observed through the
HART communication interface.
5.21.2 Simulation with a ramp function
As a second possibility you can also parameterize a ramp function in addition to the
settable fixed values for all three simulation lines. A settable start and end value
determines the respective limits between which the simulation values move with a
rising and falling tendency. The step width can also be calculated with the settable
number of steps. The rise speed of the ramp is determined by the duration of the
individual ramp steps.

Note
Dear customer,
You have purchased a modular device in which you can exchange the electronics.
In the event of an exchange, please observe the instructions enclosed with the
component to be exchanged.
6.1 Relationships
The two single components measuring cell and electronics both have a non-volatile
memory (EEPROM). Each contains a data structure which is permanently assigned
to the measuring cell or the electronics. Measuring cell data (e. g.: measuring range,
measuring cell material, oil filling etc.) are stored in the measuring cell’s EEPROM.
Data of the electronics (e.g.: turn-down, electric damping etc.) are in the electronics’s
EEPROM. This ensures that the data relevant to the remaining component are
retained when the electronics are exchanged.
Before replacing components you can set, via HART, whether the common
measuring range settings are to be taken from the measuring cell or the electronics
after the exchange or whether standard parameters should be set. The measuring
accuracy in the specified measuring limits (with turn-down 1:1) may be reduced by
factor 2 under unfavorable conditions. The ”factory calibration” mode (see Chapter
5.17, pg. 55) can no longer be used after an exchange.
In the course of further development, extended functions may be implemented in the

measuring cell or electronics. This is identified by a changed firmware version (FW).
The firmware version has no influence on the exchangeability. However, the scope
of functions is restricted to the function of the respective older component.

A5E00047092-01 61
Modular design
If the combination of certain firmware versions of the measuring cell and the
electronics is not possible for technical reasons, the device detects this and goes into
the ”fault current” state. This information is also provided via th HART interface.
6.2 Practical application
Warning!
This work may only be performed by qualified personnel!
6.2.1 Exchanging the electronics
To exchange the electronics, you must:
1. remove the cover and the digital display (1 and 2, Figure 30) behind it
2. unscrew the two threaded bolts (3) holding the electronics (4) in place,
3. remove the cast electronic block carefully from the housing (6),
4. pull off the measuring cell board (5) which connects the measuring cell (7) to the
electronics and plug it to the new electronics,
5. assemble the individual parts in reverse order.

Installation
7
The installation cases described below are typical examples. Different types of
installation may be possible depending on the system configuration.
7.1 Installation (except filling level)
The transmitter can be arranged above or below the pressure tapping point.
When measuring gases we recommend installing the transmitter above the pressure
tapping point and laying the pressure line with a constant downward gradient to the
pressure tapping point so that condensation which forms can drain into the main line
and the measured value is not falsified (recommended installation see Chapter 8.1,
pg. 77).
When measuring vapors and liquids the transmitter should be installed below the
pressure tapping point and the pressure line should have a constant upward gradient
so that gas entrapped in the main line can escape (recommended installation see
Chapter 8.1, pg. 78).
The installation point should be easily accessible, if possible in the vicinity of the
measuring point and should not be exposed to strong vibration. The permissible
ambient temperature limits (see Chapter 9 for further information) may not be
exceeded. Protect the transmitter from direct radiation of heat.
The desired operating data must be compared with the values specified on the
device’s rating plate before installation.
The housing may only be opened for maintenance, local operation or electrical
installation.

A5E00047092-01 63
Installation
Warning!
All modifications or extensions to the devices require the manufacturer’s
permission.
Suitable tools must be used for connecting the transmitter on the pressure side. Do
not rotate on the housing!
Observe the installation instructions on the housing!
7.1.1 Mounting without mounting bracket
The transmitter may be mounted directly at the process connection.
7.1.2 Mounting with mounting bracket
The mounting bracket is fastened
• to a wall or a mounting rack with two screws

or
• with a pipe bracket to a horizontal or vertical mounting pipe (Ø 50 to 60 mm)
The transmitter is fixed to the mounting bracket with two screws (enclosed).

7.2 Mounting ”filling level”
7.2.1 Installation
Before installing, check whether the transmitter satisfies the operating conditions
(material, sensor length, measuring span).
The installation location must be easily accessible and free from vibration. The
permissible ambient temperatures may not be exceeded. Protect the transmitter
from heat radiation, rapid temperature fluctuations, heavy soiling and mechanical
damage.
The height at which the container flange for mounting the transmitter (measuring
point) must be chosen so that the lowest liquid level to be measured is always above
the flange or at its top edge.
1. Screw the flange of the transmitter (dimensions Figure 49) after fitting a seal
(e.g. flat sealing ring DIN 2690) to the counterflange of the vessel (seal and
screws are not included in the delivery). The seal must be central and may not
restrict the mobility of the flanges seal diaphragm at any point.
2. Observe the installation position!
7.2.2 Connecting the low pressure line
No line is necessary when measuring on the open container Figure 34 because the
low pressure chamber is connected to the atmosphere. The open connecting pipe
should point downwards to prevent dirt getting in.

7.3 Rotating the measuring cell in relation to the housing
If necessary, you can rotate the electronics housing in relation to the measuring cell
in the SITRANS P, Series DS III transmitter so that the digital display (in housing
covers with a window) is visible and access to the input keys and the current
connection for an external measuring instrument is possible.
Only a limited rotation is permitted! The range of rotation (3, Figure 37) is marked at
the base of the electronics housing, there is an orientation mark (4) on the neck of
the measuring cell which must stay within the marked area when rotating.
1. Loosen the locking screw ((2), hexagon socket head 2.5 mm).
2. Rotate the electronics housing in relation to the measuring cell (only within the
marked area)
3. Tighten the locking screw (torque: 3.4 to 3.6 Nm).

7.4 Electrical Connection
Warning!
The pertinent regulations must be observed for electrical installation, in explosion
risk areas in particular:
- the directive governing electrical installations in hazardous areas (Elex V)

- the regulation for erecting electrical installations in hazardous areas
(VDE 0165) and
- the EC Type Examination Certificate
Check whether the available power supply matches the EC type examination
certificate specified on the rating plate. Sealing caps in the cable inlets should be
replaced by suitable screwed glands or blanking plugs which must be certified for
explosion-proof transmitters!
The transmitter should be powered from a power source with SELV (safety extra-low
voltage). If other power sources are used, we recommend grounding the transmitter
housing at the PE connection. The screen terminal in the connection box (Figure 39)
must be connected internally to the PE connection.
+
Note
When laying the connecting cable (max. 2.5 mm2 cross section)/signal cable,
always:
- Lay cable separately from cable with voltages > 60 V

- Use cables with twisted wires
- Avoid the vicinity of large electrical installations or use screened cables
- Full HART specifications only apply with screened cables.
For error-free communication at least one load of 230 Ω must be available in the
signal circuit (see Figure 39). A load is already built into the device when using feed
isolators for SMART transmitters, e.g. Siemens 7NG4021.

The operating data must match the values specified on the rating plate. The
transmitter is in operation when the power supply is switched on.
Warning!
The housing cover may not be unscrewed from ”explosion-proof” transmitters in

hazardous areas. Please observe the appendix in Chapter 12 if the transmitter is
to be used as category 1/2 equipment.
+
Note
- The explosion protection of the transmitter depends particularly on the

tightness of the measuring cell diaphragms (wall thickness Σ 0.025 mm). For
this reason the transmitter may only be used for those combustible gases and
liquids for which the diaphragms are sufficiently resistant to chemicals and

- The transmitters must be included in the recurrent pressure testing of the
container and the pipeline.
- The following applies for equipment with protection type ”intrinsically safe” and
”pressurized” (EEx ia + EEx d): The inapplicable protection type must be
permanently deleted from the rating plate before commissioning.
- The ”intrinsically safe” protection type is no longer effective in the case of
improper feeding.
The following commissioning cases are typical examples. Different arrangements

may be advisable depending on the system configuration.

Note on 250 mbar cell
This measuring cell is designed for operation within the measuring limits 0 mbar
(absolute) to 250 mbar (absolute). When storing under normal ambient pressure of
about 1000 mbar (absolute), the measuring cell is in the overload state. An
overload error may occur in this. The overload error disappears in operation within
the measuring limits. Then the transmitter operates again within its specification,
the start of scale may have to be readjusted.
In pressure measurements with repeated exceeding of the measuring limits (e.g.

batch processes with transitions between vacuum and ventilation) a measuring
cell with a maximum range of 1300 mbar should be selected to avoid overloading.

Check the device’s start of scale from time to time.
In the event of a fault decide:
• whether the internal self-test has detected a fault, e.g. sensor break, HW/FW
error etc.
Displays:
- digital display: display ”ERROR” and moving error text
- analog output: factory setting Failure current 3.6 mA or 22.8 mA
or depending on the parameterization
- HART: detailed error list for display in the HART Communicator
or SIMATIC PDM
• serious hardware error the processor is not working
Displays:
- digital display: no defined display
- analog output: failure current < 3.6 mA
In the event of a fault you can exchange the electronics as described in Chapter 6
under consideration of the warnings.
