1. INTRODUCTION

The ABUS DP Series features high performance with high degree of precision.
Differential pressure measurement can be used to measure flow, level, density and viscosity.
This versatile primary measurement can provide high accuracy results even in harsh
environmental conditions. It is considered on the basis of the proven and reliable sensing
technology and extensive digital technology.

16-bit single chip is adopted as its core element, with its powerful function and high­speed processing capacity, ensures the excellent accuracy with stability of the transmitter. The
whole design frame focuses on its reliability, stability and high precision, meeting the growing
demand of on-site industrial use. To achieve this goal, digital signal processing is used by the
software to ensure minimum disturbance effects and zero point stability. Meanwhile, it has the
Zero Stability Capacity (ZSC) and Temperature Supplementing Capacity (TSC).

The powerful interface guarantees an excellent interaction rarely needing manual
operator. Keypad operation can accomplish the basic settings of zero, range setting, damping
setting under the circumstances of no standard pressure, and proving to be very convenient for
the on-site adjustments.

By connecting with module RS485, it can realize the remote transmission of digital signal
or the building up of RS485 industrial LAN.

Transmitter has an optional HART module. Transmitter added the HART module has
HART communication capabilities, with the conventional operations being controlled by the
manual operator. Transmitter can be widely used in the sectors such as petroleum, chemical,
iron & steel, power supply, light industry and environmental protection, capable of realizing the
measurement of various pressures, differential pressures, flows and fluids, can adapt for all kinds
of harsh and hazardous environment and corrosive processes.

2.2 Working Principle

As indicated in the working principle diagram, the outside pressure or differential pressure
will cause some change in the sensor capacitance value. Through the digital signal conversion, it
will change into the frequency signal, which is sent to the microprocessor. After the calculation by
microprocessor, a current control signal will be output to the current control circuit, converted into
analogue 4-20mA current output. Meanwhile, the microprocessor is responsible for the
interactive and other actions (display and setting). The communication port used for digital
communication needs the special port of our company. HART module will realize the transmitter
HART communication.

2.4.1 Push Button Functions

1. Zero & Span Shift

Zero Shift : push key S & Z at the same time (key S on the left while key Z on the right) for 6
seconds, the screen indicates “Hart”, means zero and span adjustment status is activated; push
key Z for 5 seconds, “Hart” on the screen disappeared; zero shifts successfully and exits the
status of activation.
Span Shift: push key S & Z at the same time (key S on the left while key Z on the right) for 6
seconds, the screen indicates “Hart”, means zero and span adjustment status is activated; after
confirming the pressure of equipment is span pressure, push key S for 6 seconds; then “Hart” on
the screen disappeared; span shifts successfully and exits the status of activation.
Note: After entering the status of activation, if you don’t want to adjust, push key S & Z together;
after loosing the key, “Hart” on the screen disappears; it means having exit the status of
activation

2. Parameter Setting

2-1 keys : Push key S & Z = exit key; exit key comes into force after loosing key S & Z; push key

Z for 4 seconds to shift
2-2 Parameters : After pushing key S for 6 seconds, the screen indicates “PASS”; then push key
Z, the screen indicates value and the cursor flickers. The flickering bit is modifier bit; push key Z
the value increases 1 but not carry. Push key Z for 4 seconds the cursor shifts. Follow the above
mentioned operation to revise the value to be 160, then push key S to enter adjustment procedure

of next parameter. Meanings of parameters are as follows

(Note 1: User can install the distributor or safe barriers per the on-site and design
requirements. For details, see the usage of distributor and safe barrier.)

It is recommended to choose the explosion-proof impulse terminal with the cable
diameter of ö8 – 12. The connection terminal is set with test terminal, convenient for the online
test of the operator.

Signal terminal is situated in a separate housing of the electrical box. Screw up the meter
cover for wiring. The upper end is for signal, while the lower end is for test meter. Fig. 2-13
indicated the terminal location. The test terminal is used for connecting any optional indicator

head or test. The power supply goes to the transmitter through the signal line, with no need of

Special Attention

:

additional wiring.

Do not connect the power signal line to the test terminal; otherwise the
diode inside the test terminal would be destroyed

In case of the diode being damaged unfortunately, connecting the test terminal can keep
the transmitter working on, except the indicator unable to connect.

No need to shield the signal wire, and litz wire can be used for better effect. Do not lay
together the signal wire and other power wires, to get near to the strong electricity equipment.

The wiring orifice on the housing body of transmitter should be sealed or inserted in a
plug smeared with seal glue to prevent the humidity being accumulated in the housing. In the
case of the wiring not being sealed, the transmitter should be mounted with the wiring orifice
upside down to discharge the moisture.

The signal line may ignore the grounding (hanging) or get to ground at any point on the
loop line. The transmitter housing can have grounding or not, and the power has no need of
being stabilized, even if the power ripples has a peak-to-peak value of 1V. And the output ripples
of transmitter can also be ignored.

Since the transmitter gets grounded by way of capacitance coupling, it is not appropriate
to use a high-voltage mega-ohm meter to check the insulation resistance. The voltage used for
checking the line should be no more than 100 V.

The transmitter circuitry is designed as intrinsic safe circuitry, limiting the output current
below 30 mA DC (35 mA DC under the condition of high temperature or high voltage).
