1 General
Warning: This device may only be assembled and operated after qualified per-
sonnel has ensured, by providing suitable power supplies, that no haz-
ardous voltages can get into the device in normal operation or in the
event of a failure of the system or parts thereof.
Warning: The device may be operated with high pressure and corrosive media.
Therefore serious injuries and/or considerable material damage can-
not be ruled out in the event of improper handling of the device.
The perfect and safe operation of this equipment is conditional upon proper handling,
installation, and assembly as well as on careful operation and commissioning.
2 Technical description
2.1 Application
Measuring spans are possible between 1 mbar and 30 bar depending on the type. The
output signal is a load-independent direct current of 4 to 20 rnA. A linear (proportional
to the differential pressure) or square rooting characteristic (proportional to the rate of
flow) can be selected.

Figure 1 shows a function diagram of the SITRANS P differential pressure and flow
transmitter. The item numbers referred to in the following description are those men-
tioned in the in the figure.
The differential pressure is applied via the diaphragms (4) and the filling liquid (3) to
the silicon pressure sensor (7). If the measuring limits are exceeded, the overload di-
aphragm (6) is flexed until one of the diaphragms (4) rests on the measuring cell body
(2), thus protecting the silicon pressure sensor (7) from overloading.
The measuring diaphragm of the silicon pressure sensor is flexed by the applied dif-
ferential pressure. The resistance of four piezo-resistors fitted in the diaphragm in a
bridge circuit th+us changes. This change in resistance results in a voltage output from
the bridge proportional to the differential pressure. This voltage is amplified and con-
verted into a frequency by means of a voltage-to-frequency converter (9). This signal
is evaluated by a micro controller (10), and its linearity and temperature effect cor-
rected.
The data specific to the measuring cell as well as the parameters of the transmitter are
stored in a non-volatile memory (EEPROM).
The cable termination point and the electronics are arranged opposite one another.

3 Installation
The transmitter can be installed above or below the pressure tapping point. When
measuring gases, it is recommended to install the transmitter above the pressure tapping
point and the pressure pipe to be laid so it runs down to the pressure tap. This will
permit any condensation in the pipe to drain off and not affect the measurement. When
measuring liquids, the transmitter should be installed below the pressure taping point
and the pipe laid so it rises up to the pressure tap, thus enabling any gas in the pipe to
dispersed.
The point of installation should be easily accessible, preferably close to the measuring
point and free from vibration. The permitted ambient temperature limits must not be
violated. Protect the transmitter from direct heat sources. Before installing the trans-

mitter, compare the process data against the data on the rating plate. Keep the trans-
mitter closed during the installation process.
The transmitter can be fitted directly to the valve manifold or secured with a mounting
bracket.

Figure 3
If necessary, the measuring cell of the transmitter can be rotated in relation to the
electronics housing, so that the digital display is visible and/or access the input keys
and the current connection for an external measuring instrument is possible.
Only a limited rotation is permitted. The range of rotation (7), see Figure 4, is marked
at the base of the electronics housing. At the neck of the electronics housing there is
an orientation mark (6) which always must be within the marked range when rotated.

Warning: Check that the auxiliary power supply matches that specified on the
rating plate.
The transmitter should be powered from a SELV (safety extra-low voltage) source. If
other power sources are used, it is recommended to earth the transmitter housing and
PE connection. The earth terminal in the connection box must be connected internally
to the PE connection.
• The sealing caps in the cable entries have to be replaced by relevant cable glands
or blanking plugs, which must be certified when using transmitters conforming to
protection type "Flame-proof enclosure".
• The following general guidelines apply when laying terminal (maximum cross
section 2.5 mm 2)/signal cables:
lay the signal cable separately from cables carrying voltages> 60 V
use twisted-pair cables
do not lay cables close to large electrical systems, or use screened cable

5.1 General
The differential pressure and flow transmitter is adjusted in the field by three input
keys, located on the outside of the instrument, with which the start of scale and full
scale values are set or adjusted. By means of the digital indicator (optional) additional
parameters can be adjusted. The input keys can be accessed, by undoing the two screws
holding the protective cover in place, which can then be moved out of the way.

5.2.1 General
• Please note that the input keys might be disabled. To cancel a set keyboard disable
press the "M" key for 5 seconds.
Step A: Undo the two screws holding the protective cover in place, which can then
be moved out of the way.
Step B: On completion of calibration replace the protective cover and tighten both
screws.
5.2.2 Set/adjust start of scale and full scale
The start of scale and full scale can be set or adjusted with the input keys. Modes 2 and
3 (see Table 1) are available for this. This allows implementation of rising or falling
characteristics.
Note: The measuring span is not changed when setting the start of scale. By set-
ting the full scale the start of scale remains unchanged. Therefore the start
of scale should be set first and then the full scale.
The relationship between the measured pressure and the generated output current is
linear. Please note that this does not apply if square rooting characteristic is selected.
In case of linear relationship the output current can be calculated with the following
equation shown in Figure 11:

Example
Given a transmitter with a measuring span of 0 to 16 bar. Set to a measuring span of
2 to 14 bar.
Step A: Apply 2 bar process pressure. Set the device to mode 2 with the "M" key.
The display shows the set mode at the bottom left. Set the start of scale by
pressing the t and .,i.. keys on the value for about 2 seconds. An output current
of 4 rnA is then generated at 2 bar input pressure.
Step B: Apply 14 bar process pressure. Set the device to mode 3 with the "M" key.
The full scale is set by pressing the t and .,i.. keys on the value for about 2
seconds. An output current of20 rnA is then generated at 14 bar input pres-
sure.
Step C: The output current for any input pressure can be calculated with the specified
equation shown in Figure 11.
Adjusting (theoretical relationship)
When adjusting, the start of scale and/or the full scale can be assigned 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. Requirements:
applied pressure (reference pressure) and the set start ofscale and full scale are known.
Please note that after adjusting, the measuring range specified on the measuring point
plate may no longer match the setting. Using the following equation shown in Fig-
ure 12 the current that should be adjusted for the desired start of scale and full scale
can be calculated.

Theoretical relationship
First select the desired physical unit. The two pressure values can then be set/adjusted
with the t and ..!- keys and saved in the device. These theoretical pressure values are
assigned to the standard current values 4 rnA and 20 rnA.
The relationship between the measured pressure and the generated output current is
linear. Please note that this does not apply if square rooting characteristic is selected.
Example
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.
Step A: Set the device to mode 5 with the "M" key. Set the start of scale to 2 bar by
pressing the t or ..!- key. If 2 bar input pressure are applied later, an output
current of 4 rnA is generated.
Step B: Set the device to mode 6 with the "M" key. Set the full scale to 14 bar by
pressing the tor..!- key. If 14 bar input pressure are applied later, an output
current of 20 rnA is generated.

5.3.1 Setting start of scale and full scale without LCD display
• Please note that the input keys might be disabled. To cancel a set keyboard disable
press the "M" key for 5 seconds.
Step A: Undo the two screws holding the protective cover in place, which can then
be moved out of the way.
Set start of scale (4 rnA) and full scale (20 rnA)
Assuming the input keys are pressed as described below, the transmitter sets the start
of scale to 4 rnA and the full scale to 20 rnA. An ammeter is not required.
Start of scale
Step A: Apply a differential pressure corresponding to the start of scale to the trans-
mitter.
Step B: Press the t and ,l.. keys simultaneously for about 2 seconds.
Full scale
Step A: Apply a differential pressure corresponding to the full scale to the transmit-
ter.
Step B: Press all three input keys, making sure that the "M" key is pressed first, hold
it, and press both the other keys (t and ,l..).
Calibrate start of scale and full scale
If the output current is not to be set but freely adjusted continuously, the currents must
be calculated for mathematical adjustment. It is possible to make an adjustment for the
start of scale, the full scale, or both values one after the other.
Warning: For intrinsic safe current circuits only certified current meters are
permitted.
