PT-510/PT-510W series submersible pressure transmitters oer reliability in harsh industrial

conditions. The small size, and all welded, all stainless steel body make the durable PT-510/PT­510W the perfect instrument for static and dynamic pressure measurement. The PT-510 comes
with a Delrin nose cone, suitable for clean water use, while the PT-510W has a stainless steel cage
for additional transducer protection in wastewater environments.

How To Read Your Label

2

Each label comes with a full model number, a part number, and a serial number. The model
number for the PT-510 will look something like this:

 SAMPLE: PT-510-C-20-L01-60

The model number correlates with all the congurable options and tells you exactly what you have.
Compare the model number to the options on the datasheet to identify your exact conguration.

You can also call us with the model, part, or the serial number and we can help you.

The label also includes the pinout, as does this installation guide.

Your pressure transmitter is very low maintenance and will need little care, as long as it was
installed correctly. However, in general, you should:

• Avoid applications for which the sensor was not designed, such as extreme temperatures,

contact with incompatible corrosive chemicals, or other damaging environments.

• Avoid touching the diaphragm. Contact with the diaphragm, especially with a tool, could

permanently shift the output and ruin accuracy.

• Cleaning the diaphragm or the diaphragm bore should be done with extreme care. If using a

tool is required, make sure it does not touch the diaphragm.

 IMPORTANT: Any contact with the diaphragm can permanently damage the sensor. Use

extreme caution.

Repair Information

9

Condensation in the vent tube can damage the electronics in your sensor, resulting in unreliable

readings. APG oers two methods of preventing vent tube condensation: a venting cap and a

desiccant drying cartridge.

The venting cap is a PVC tube with a hydrophobic patch that allows moisture to pass out of the

tube without allowing water in. The cap is sealed by an o-ring, and is easily installed in the eld.

The desiccant drying cartridge with vent tube adapter absorbs any moisture in the vent tube to
keep vapor from condensing. The installation of the desiccant drying cartridge is quick and easy.
Common installation methods are cable tie, Velcro, and cable clamps.

 NOTE: Desiccant crystals change from blue to pink as they become saturated. Cartridge
must be replaced when all crystals have saturated.

 IMPORTANT: Do NOT use desiccant cartridge in the presence of vapors of liquids
containing phosphate esters, synthetic lubricant, hydrocarbon solvents, methanol, acetone,
lacquer solvents, or other organics.

If your pressure transmitter needs repair, contact us via email, phone, or on-line chat on our
website. We will issue you an RMA number with instructions.

Removal Instructions

Removing your PT-510/PT-510W from service must be done with care. It’s easy to damage your
sensor if you are not careful to follow these guidelines:

• Retrieve the sensor from the vessel. Follow any and all procedures for safely isolating any
media contained inside the line or vessel.

• Carefully clean the sensor’s tting and diaphragm of any debris (see General Care) and

inspect for damage.

• Store your sensor in a dry place, at a temperature between -40° F and 180° F.
