For monitoring and control in marine and industial applications
The high accuracy pressure transmitter EMP 2 is
designed for monitoring and control in marine
and industial applications and oers a reliable
pressure measurement, even under harsh
environmental conditions.
The exible pressure transmitter programme
covers absolute or gauge (relative) versions
with zero and span adjustment with a 4 – 20
mA output signal.
It has all the necessary marine approvals.
Special versions with integrated pulse-snubber
available, designed for use in hydraulic
applications with severe medium inuences
like cavitation, liquid hammer or pressure
peaks.

Applications
Application and media conditions
Figure 1: Pressure range
In cases where valves are closed momentarily, surges of a value in excess of that for which the pressure element is
designed can occur. To avoid damage to the pressure element, a damper should be tted.
The device can consist of a exible pipe, a throttle, a shock valve, or a combination of these items. The amplitude of
surges should never exceed the maximum pressure range of the pressure transmitter.

Identication
The type designation and code number of the transmitter is embossed on the side of the housing at the bottom
close to the pressure connector.
Installation conditions

Mounting
Type EMP 2 is equipped with a 3 mm stell bracket for mounting.
Pressure connection
Connector with outside cylindrical thread G ½, some types available with G ⅜ A mano, and inside cylindrical thread
G ¼, to ISO 228.
The primary insertion length of the connector corresponds to EN 837. Connection to the transmitter is made
through a connector with a spanner at, 14 mm across ats.
When tting or removing pressure lines, the spanner ats on the pressure connector should be used to apply
counter-torque.
Water in the pressure element is not harmful, but in the event of frost a water-lled pressure element may burst. To
prevent this the transmitter should be allowed to operate on an air cushion.
Steam plant
To protect the pressure element against temperatures in excess of the maximum temperature for the medium (100
°C), the insertion of a water-lled loop is recommended. In the example, Figure 3: Insulation against radiant heat,
insulation against radiant heat is also shown.
Electrical connection
Figure 4: Wiring diagram
The transmitter has a wiring diagram, see above gure. Terminals P (positive) and N (negative) are connection
terminals for the supply voltage.
The same leads are used for supply voltage and output signal. A function test can be performed between terminals
N and T without cutting o the current loop.
EMP 2 with the pressure range 0 – 6 bar and 0 – 10 bar at extended test pressure is provided with an integrated
pulse snubber for protection of the sensor element against cavitations and air bubbles in the media due to extreme
pressure peaks and pulsations. Such conditions may be caused by pumps or fast operation valves in both high and
low pressure systems.
The integrated pulse snubber is designed as an 0.3 mm orice mounted in the pressure connection. The medium
should not contain particles which may clog up in the orice.
The viscosity has only little eect on the response time. Even at liquid viscosities up to 100 Cst the response time will
not exceed 4 ms.
