information concerning the Range and Span limits in relation to
the model and the sensor code.
The terminology currently used to define the various
parameters is as follows:
URL: Upper Range Limit of a specific sensor. The highest
value of the measured value that the transmitter can
be adjusted to measure.
LRL: Lower Range Limit of a specific sensor. The lowest
value of the measured value that the transmitter can
be adjusted to measure.
URV: Upper Range Value. The highest value of the measured value to which the transmitter is calibrated.
LRV: Lower Range Value. The lowest value of the measured value to which the transmitter is calibrated.
SPAN: The algebraic difference between the Upper and Lower Range Values. The minimum span is the minimum value that can be used without degradation
of the specified performance.
TD: (or Turn Down Ratio)is the ratio between the maximum span and the calibrated span.

5.1 General
Study these installation instructions carefully before proceeding.
Failure to observe the warnings and instructions may cause a
malfunction or personal hazard. Before installing the transmitter,
check whether the device design meets the requirements of the
measuring point from a measurement technology and safety
point of view.
This applies in respect of the:
— Explosion protection certification
— Measuring range
— Gauge pressure stability
— Temperature
— Operating voltage
The suitability of the materials must be checked as regards
their resistance to the media. This applies in respect of the:
— Gasket
— Process connection, isolating diaphragm, etc.
In addition, the relevant directives, regulations, standards, and
accident prevention regulations must be observed (e.g., VDE/
VDI 3512, DIN 19210, VBG, Elex V, etc.). Measurement
accuracy is largely dependent on correct installation of the
pressure transmitter and, if applicable, the associated
measuring pipe(s). As far as possible, the measuring setup
should be free from critical ambient conditions such as large
variations in temperature, vibrations, or shocks.
Important. If unfavorable ambient conditions cannot be avoided for
reasons relating to building structure, measurement technology, or
other issues, the measurement quality may be affected. If a remote
seal with capillary tube is installed on the transmitter, the additional
operating instructions for remote seals and the related data sheets
must be observed.
5.2 IP protection & designation
The housings for 266 transmitters are certified as conforming to
protection type IP66 / IP67 (according to IEC 60529).
The first number indicates the type of protection the integrated
electronics have against the entry of foreign bodies, including
dust.
“6” means that the housing is dust-proof (i.e., no ingress of
dust). The second number indicates the type of protection
the integrated electronics have against the entry of water.
The 266 pressure transmitter in your hands has been factory
calibrated to reflect the published declared performance
specification; no further calibration is required in normal
condition. ABB typically configures 266 pressure transmitters
according to the user requirements. A typical configuration
includes:
— TAG number
— Calibrated span
— Output linearization
— LCD display configuration
5.3.2 Hazardous area considerations
The transmitter must be installed in hazardous area only if it is
properly certified. The certification plate is permanently fixed on
the neck of the transmitter top housing. The 266 Pressure
Transmitter Line can have the following certifications:
ATEX INTRINSIC SAFETY
— II 1 G Ex ia IIC T4 and II 1/2 G Ex ia IIC T4
COMBINED ATEX, ATEX FM and FM Canada
— See detailed classifications
FM Approvals US and FM Approvals Canada:
— Intrinsically safe: Class I, II, III, Div. 1, Groups A, B, C, D
— Class I, Zone 0, AEx ia IIC T6/T4 (FM US)
— Class I, Zone 0, Ex ia IIC T6/T4 (FM Canada)
IEC (Ex):
— See detailed classifications
Warning - General risks. Unused port plug must be in accordance
with the intended type of protection (e.g. intrinsically safe, explosion
proof, etc.) and degree of protection (e.g. IP6x according to IEC EN
60529). See also the addendum for “EX SAFETY” ASPECTS AND
“IP” PROTECTION. In particular, for explosion proof installation,
remove the red temporary plastic cap and plug the unused opening
with a plug certified for explosion containment
Warning - General risks. Model 266 enclosure contains aluminium
and is considered to present a potential risk of ignition by impact or
friction. Care must be taken into account during installation and use
to prevent impact or friction.
The second number indicates the type of protection the hosing
has against the entry of water.
“6” means that the housing is protected against water;
specifically, powerful jets of water under standardized
conditions.
“7” means that the housing is protected against water;
specifically, against the effects of temporary immersion in
water under standardized water pressure and temporal
conditions.

5.5 Mounting a DP sensor transmitter
(266DS/266DR)
The pressure transmitter model 266DS can be mounted directly
on the manifold. A mounting bracket for wall or pipe mounting
(2” pipe) is also available as an accessory. For model 266DR
always mounting brackets should be used. Ideally, the pressure
transmitter should be mounted in a vertical position to prevent
subsequent zero shifts.
piping so that gas bubbles, when measuring liquids, or
condensate when measuring gases, will flow back to the
process and not enter the transmitter measuring chamber.
Optional Vent/drain valves (code V1/V2/V3) on the transmitter
are located on the sensor flanges.
The transmitter has to be positioned so that these drain/vent
valves will be located higher than the taps on liquid service in
order to allow the venting of entrapped gas or below the taps
on gas service in order to allow the air to vent off or
condensate to drain off. For safety reasons, take care of the
drain/vent valves position so that when the process fluid is
removed during the drain/vent operation it is directed down
and away from technicians. It is recommended to mount the
transmitter to prevent this possible source of damage for
unskilled operators.
Important. In case of a High Static differential pressure transmitter,
please notice that the Vent/Drain valves can be configured only on
the process axis (V1).
Important. If the transmitter is installed inclined with respect to the
vertical, the filling liquid exerts hydrostatic pressure on the
measuring diaphragm, resulting in a zero shift. In such an event, the
zero point can be corrected via the zero push-button or via the “set
PV to zero” command. Please refer to the [configuration section] for
further details. For transmitters without diaphragm seals, please
read the following considerations on the Vent/Drain.
Attention − Potential damage to transmitter. In case of a High
Static differential pressure transmitter (266DSH.x.H) please always
open the equalization valve of the manifold (if installed) before
applying pressure to the transmitter. High Static pressure can
damage the sensor causing a zero shift and a serious decrease of
the total performance in terms of accuracy. In this case, please
perform a full sensor trim.
It is important to mount the transmitter and to lay the process

5.7 Transmitter housing rotation
To improve field access to the wiring or the visibility of the
optional LCD meter, the transmitter housing may be rotated
through 360° and fixed in any position. A stop prevents the
housing from being turned too far. In order to proceed with
housing rotation, the housing stop tang-screw has to be
unscrewed by approximately 1 rotation (do not pull it out) and,
once the desired position has been reached, retightened.
Figure 18: Housing rotation
5.8 Integral display rotation
In case an optional integral display meter is installed, it is
possible to mount the display in four different positions rotated
clockwise or counterclockwise with 90° steps. To rotate the
LCD, simply open the windowed cover (Hazardous area
prescriptions must be respected), pull-out the display housing
from the communication board.. Reposition the LCD connector
according to the new desired position. Push back the LCD
module on the communication board. Be sure that the 4 plastic
fixing locks are properly in place.
5.10 Impulse piping connection for standard
instruments
In order for the pipes to be laid correctly, the following points
must be observed:
— The measuring pipes must be as short as possible and
free from sharp bends.
— Lay the impulse piping in such a way that no deposits
accumulate in them. Gradients should not be less than
approx. 8% (ascending or descending).
— The measuring pipes should be blown through with
compressed air or, better yet, flushed through with the
measuring medium before connection.
— Where a fluid/vaporous measuring medium is being used,
the liquid in both measuring pipes must be at the same
level. If a separating liquid is being used, both measuring
pipes must be filled to the same level (266Dx).
— Although it is not absolutely necessary to use balancing
vessels with vaporous measuring media, measures must
be taken to prevent steam entering the measuring
chambers of the measuring equipment (266Dx).
— It may be necessary to use condensate vessels, etc., with
small spans and vaporous measuring media (266Dx).
— If using condensate vessels (steam measurement), you
should ensure that the vessels are at the same elevation
in the differential pressure piping (266Dx).
— As far as possible, keep both impulse lines at the same
temperature (266Dx).
— Completely depressurize the impulse lines if the medium
is a fluid.
— Lay the impulse lines in such a way that gas bubbles
(when measuring fluids) or condensate (when measuring
gases) can flow back into the process line.
5.9 Antenna rotation
Usually the antenna should be turned into a vertical or
horizontal positions. The antenna must not be rotated more
than 360° in order to not prevent HF wires inside the
transmitter from damaging. Please refer to the pictures below
to identify wireless signal coverage areas.
— Ensure that the impulse lines are connected correctly
(High and Low pressure sides connected to measuring
equipment, seals...).
— Make sure the connection is tight.
— Lay the impulse line in such a way that prevents the
medium from being blown out over the measuring
equipment.
Caution. Process leaks may cause harm or result in death. Install
and tighten process connectors and all accessories (including
manifolds) before applying pressure. In case of toxic or otherwise
dangerous process fluid, take any precautions as recommended in
the relevant Material Safety Data Sheet when draining or venting.
Use only a 12 mm (15/32“) hexagonal spanner to tighten the
bracket bolts.

5.11 Process connections considerations
266 differential pressure transmitter process connections on
the transmitter flange are 1/4 - 18 NPT, with a centers distance
of 54mm (2.13in) between the connections. The process
connections on the transmitter flange are on centers to allow
direct mounting to a three-valve or five-valve manifold.
Flange adapter unions with 1/2 - 14 NPT connections are
available as an option. Rotate one or both of the flange
adapters to attain connection centers of 51mm (2.01in), 54mm
(2.13in) or 57mm (2.24in).
To install adapters, perform the following procedure:
1. Position the adapters with the O-ring in place.
2. Bolt the adapters to the transmitter using the bolts
supplied.
3. Tighten the bolts to a torque value of 25Nm (stainless
steel bolts) or 15Nm (for Stainless steel NACE bolts).
For high static model (266DSH.x.H) tighten the bolts to a
torque value of 40 Nm (regardless of the material of the bolts
used). In case of PTFE O-rings, pretightening to 10Nm and final
tightening to 50 Nm.
5.12 Kynar inserts connection
When connecting Pressure transmitters equipped with kynar
inserts tighten the bolts to 15 Nm max.

5.13 Installation recommendations
Impulse piping configuration depends on the specific
measurement application.
Important. Wireless pressure transmitters are equipped with
antenna and extended rear cover. The following installation
sketches are shown for convenience only. Please consider the
antenna and the battery seat while planning installation schemes.
5.13.1 Steam (condensable vapor) or clean liquids flow
measurement
— Place taps to the side of the line.
— Mount beside or below the taps.
— Mount the drain/vent valve upward.
— In case of steam application fill the vertical section of the
connecting lines with a compatible fluid through the filling
tees.
The process fluid must enter the transmitter primary:
1. Open equalizing valve (C)
2. Close low pressure (B) and high pressure (A) valves .
3. Open gate valves
5.13.2 Gas or liquid (with solids in suspension) flow
measurement
— Place the taps to the top or side of the line.
— Mount the transmitter above the taps.
The process fluid must enter the transmitter primary:
1. Open equalizing valve (C)
2. Close low pressure (B) and high pressure (A) valves .
3. Open gate valves
4. Slowly open high pressure (A) valve to admit process fluid
to both sides of primary.
5. Vent or drain the primary unit and then close the valves.
6. Open the (B) valve and close the equalizing valve.
4. Slowly open high pressure (A) valve to admit process fluid
to both sides of primary.
5. Vent or drain the primary unit and then close the valves.
6. Open the (B) valve and close the equalizing valve.
Figure 23: Gas or liquid flow measurement (transmitter and manifold)
Caution. Manifolds can be supplied both mounted on pressure
transmitters and loose. In case of integral mounting, consider that:
— All adjustments should be carried out by qualified personnel with
the valve without pressure.
— End connections must not be removed from the body.
— Do not use handle wrenches or extensions to operate the
valves.

— Head units must not be removed once installed.
— Do not cover or remove body marking.
Important. The maximum working temperature of the whole
assembly (manifold and instrument) corresponds to the temperature
limit of the pressure transmitter.
Important. When the manifold is assembled to a 2600T pressure
transmitter with NACE compliance A4-50 Stainless Steel bolts
(available on request), please note that the maximum working
pressure is limited to 210 bar (3045 psi).
