HD9408.3B - 3 - V1.2
1 INTRODUCTION
HD9408.3B is a barometric transmitter that uses a piezoresistive high accuracy and
temperature-compensated sensor. It allows measuring the atmospheric pressure in
the range 0…1350 hPa (digital outputs) or 500...1200 hPa (analog outputs), providing
extreme accuracy and time stability, with excellent repeatability, low hysteresis, and
excellent temperature behavior.
The superior performances are obtained thanks to the employment of a piezoresistive Silicon sensor that integrates both a pressure sensitive as well as a temperature sensitive
element. The measurement of pressure and temperature are processed by a microprocessor to obtain an output signal that is compensated over the transmitter’s whole, wide
temperature operating range: -40…+85°C.
The sensor is factory calibrated at several points at different temperatures in the
range of use.
The transmitter is available in three versions which differ in the output type:
• HD9408.3B.1: configurable 0…5 V or 1…5 V analogue voltage output and digi-
tal RS232, RS422 or RS485 output. Standard MODBUS-RTU and NMEA 0183
protocols.
• HD9408.3B.2: active configurable 0…20 mA or 4…20 mA current output and
digital RS232, RS422 or RS485 output. Standard MODBUS-RTU and NMEA 0183
protocols.
• HD9408.3B.3: digital SDI-12 output, compatible with version 1.3 of the proto-
col.
The digital output enables the transmission of the measurements over long distances
and connects the transmitter to sensor networks.
The pressure measured and transmitted with MODBUS RTU and SDI-12 protocols can
be expressed in different user-selectable measuring units.
The watertight housing with IP 67 protection degree allows the use of the instrument
even in harsh environments.
The instrument is particularly suitable for meteorological applications (AWOS - Automated Weather Observing Systems), environmental monitoring systems, meteorological and environmental data logging, measurement laboratories, atmospheric pressure
compensation in the performance of internal combustion engines, barometric pressure
compensation in clean rooms, vehicle emission test.
Its low power consumption makes it ideal for remote acquisition systems such as automatic weather stations powered by solar cells.
DC power supply 10…30 Vdc.

HD9408.3B - 5 - V1.2
3 INSTALLATION
The sensor and electronics are housed in a sturdy metal housing with IP 67 degree of
protection. The transmitter can be mounted in any position, but typically is attached
to a vertical wall with the outlet pressure facing downward. The two holes on the
housing’s sides allow you to secure the base of the transmitter directly to a panel or a
wall. See the chapter “
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS” for the dimensions of the mounting
holes.
3.1 ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS OF THE MODELS HD9408.3B.1 AND HD9408.3B.2
The transmitters HD9408.3B.1 and HD9408.3B.2 have an 8-pole M12 male connector.
On request, CP18… cables with 8-pole M12 female connector and 2 or 5 m
standard length are available (other lengths on request).

3.1.1 RS485 CONNECTION
The RS485 connection of the transmitter is made over a screened twisted-pair cable for
the signals and a third grounding wire.
At the beginning and at the end of each segment you should apply the line terminator.
The maximum number of devices that can be connected to the (Bus) line 485 depends
on the load characteristics of the devices to be connected. The RS485 standard requires
that the total load does not exceed 32 unit loads. The load of a transmitter is equal to 1
unit load. If the total load is greater than 32 unit loads, divide the network into segments
and then put a signal repeater between a segment and the next. At the beginning and
end of each segment of the line, terminations should be applied. The RS485 output of the
transmitter is not isolated.

The cable maximum length depends on baud rate and cable characteristics. Typically,
the maximum length is 1200m. The data line must be kept separated from any power
lines in order to prevent interferences on the transmitted signal.
Each transmitter placed on the network is univocally identified by an address. Trans-
mitters having the same address shall not be present in the network.
NMEA, MODBUS-RTU and Delta OHM proprietary protocols can be used with RS485
connection. Before connecting the instrument to the network, configure address and
Baud Rate (see paragraph 4.5).
3.1.2 RS422 CONNECTION
The RS422 standard is used for the point-to-point connection over long distances. The
instrument is connected to the PC by means of a screened cable with two twisted-pair
cables for the signals and an additional wire for grounding. It is necessary to provide
for line terminations at the ends of the connections.

4 CONFIGURATION
When powered, the transmitter always starts to operate with the set operating protocol. The models HD9408.3B.1 and HD9408.3B.2 are factory set with MODBUS-RTU
protocol, RS485 physical interface, Baud Rate 19200 and communication parameters
8E1. To change the settings of the transmitter, see the next paragraphs.
4.1 CHOOSING THE DIGITAL OUTPUT TYPE IN HD9408.3B.1 AND HD9408.3B.2 MODELS
The models HD9408.3B.1 and HD9408.3B.2 allow selecting the type of digital output
(RS232, RS422 or RS485) on hardware level, by means of dip switches on the electronic board, or at software level, by means of an appropriate serial command. By default, the RS485 output via the dip switches is set. To access the dip switches, unscrew
the screws fixing the housing cover, remove the cover and set the dip switches as
shown in figure 4.1.1.
Fig. 4.1.1: selecting the digital output by means of the dip switches
The setting via the dip switches has priority over the setting via serial command. By
selecting the option "SW set", the transmitter uses the digital output set at software
level with the serial command CPI described in paragraph 4.5.
4.2 CHOOSING THE PROTOCOL IN HD9408.3B.1 AND HD9408.3B.2 MODELS
In the models HD9408.3B.1 and HD9408.3B.2, NMEA 0183 and MODBUS-RTU standard protocols and Delta OHM proprietary protocol are available. The selection of the
protocol is done via the serial command CPI described in paragraph 4.5. If the transmi
tter digital output is set by means of the dip switches, the choice of the protocol
must be compatible with the selected physical interface, as reported in table 4.2.1. By
d
efault, the MODBUS-RTU protocol with RS485 physical interface is set.

4.3 SELECTING THE UNIT OF MEASUREMENT
The pressure measured and transmitted via the digital output with MODBUS-RTU and
SDI-12 standard protocols can be expressed in a user selectable unit of measurement
among: Pa, hPa, kPa, mbar, bar, atm, psi, mmHg, inHg, mmH
2
O, ftH2O, kg/cm2, Torr.
The default unit is hPa. The unit setting is done with the serial command CPU described
in paragraph 4.5. Table 4.3.1 shows the resolution of the measurement as a function of
t
he selected unit.
TAB. 4.3.1: measuring unit and resolution with Modbus and SDI-12 protocols
Unit of measurement Resolution
Pa 1 Pa
hPa 0.01 hPa
kPa 0.001 kPa
mbar 0.01 mbar
bar 0.00001 bar
atm 0.00001 atm
psi 0.0001 psi
mmHg 0.001 mmHg
inHg 0.0001 inHg
mmH2O 0.1 mmH2O
ftH2O 0.0001 ftH2O
kg/cm2 0.00001 kg/cm2
Torr 0.001 Torr
With the NMEA 0183 standard protocol, the pressure value is transmitted in two fixed
units: Pa and bar. With the Delta OHM proprietary protocol, the pressure is transmitted in the fixed units mbar, psi and hPa.
4.4 CONFIGURING THE ANALOG OUTPUT
The analog output in the models HD9408.3B.1 and HD9408.3B.2 is factory preset to
have the output signal corresponding to the 500…1200 hPa measuring range. The
analog output can be configured so as to have the output signal corresponding to a
different measuring range by using the serial commands CAI (sets the initial value of
the measuring interval) and CAF (sets the final value of the measuring interval).
To reverse the operation of the analog output, so that the output signal decreases as
the measured pressure increases, use the serial command CAiE. To cancel the inver-
sion and restore the output normal operation, use the serial command CAiD.
HD9408.3B - 11 - V1.2
To add or remove an offset to the minimum value of the output signal, so that to pass
from the range 0…5 V or 0…20 mA to the range 1…5 V or 4…20 mA and vice versa,
use the serial commands CAOE (adds the offset) and CAOD (remove the offset). The
default mode is without offset.
The details on the use of the serial commands are described in paragraph 4.5.
4.5 SERIAL COMMANDS OF DELTA OHM PROTOCOL FOR HD9408.3B.1 AND HD9408.3B.2
All the operating parameters can be set by connecting the transmitter to the PC and
sending, via a standard serial communication program, the serial commands of the
Delta OHM proprietary protocol.
The Delta OHM proprietary protocol can be used with RS232, RS485 and RS422 digital
outputs. If the RS232 output is used and the PC has only USB ports, place between
the PC and the instrument a RS232/USB converter. If the RS422 or RS485 digital output is used, place between the PC and the instrument a converter from RS422 or
RS485 to RS232 or USB. For the wiring diagrams, see chapter “
INSTALLATION”.
If a USB converter is used, it is necessary to install the relevant USB drivers
in the PC.
NOTES ON THE INSTALLATION OF UNSIGNED USB DRIVER: before installing unsigned USB driver into
operating systems starting from Windows 7, it is necessary to restart the PC by disabling the
driver signing request. If the operating system is 64-bit, even after installation the request of
driver signing have to be disabled each time the PC is restarted.
PROCEDURE FOR SETTING THE PARAMETERS:
1. Connect the transmitter to the PC according to the selected digital output (the fac-
tory-set digital output is RS485) and power the transmitter. The transmitter always
starts to operate with the set operating protocol.
2. Start a serial communication program, as Hyperterminal for instance. In the pro-
gram, set the COM port number to which the transmitter is connecting and set the
communication parameters the same as those of the protocol currently operating in
the instrument: “57600 8N2” for proprietary protocol, “19200 8E1” for MODBUS RTU (default settings, the MODBUS -RTU parameters are configurable), “4800 8N1”
for NMEA.
3. If the set operating protocol is different from the Delta OHM proprietary protocol
(the factory-set protocol is MODBUS-RTU), send the command ||| (sequence of
three 124 decimal code ASCII characters followed by the Enter key). The transmitter replies with the sequence &|.
4. Within 10 seconds from the previous command, send the command @ (64 decimal
code ASCII character followed by the Enter key) to confirm the switch to the Delta
OHM proprietary protocol. The transmitter replies with the sequence &|. Switching
to the Delta OHM proprietary protocol, the previous communication parameters
(baud rate, data bits, parity and stop bits) are maintained.
Note: if the transmitter does not receive the command @ within 10 seconds from
the command |||, the previous protocol is automatically restored.
5. Send the command CAL USER ON.
Note: the command CAL USER ON is disabled after 5 minutes of inactivity. The
command is necessary only for the configuration writing commands, it is not necessary for the configuration reading commands.
HD9408.3B - 12 - V1.2
6. Send the serial commands reported in table 4.5.1 to configure the transmitter or
read the current settings.
7. To go back to the operating protocol, send the command # (35 decimal code AS-
CII character followed by the Enter key) or power cycle the instrument.

5 MODBUS-RTU PROTOCOL
In MODBUS-RTU mode (only models HD9408.3B.1 and HD9408.3B.2), the instrument
sends the acquired measurements only if specifically requested by the PC, PLC or data
logger.
The protocol is available with RS485 and RS422 serial connections.
5.1 MEASUREMENTS READING
In MODBUS mode, the function code 04h (Read Input Registers) allows reading the
values measured by the instrument. Table 5.1.1 lists the MODBUS input registers
av
ailable:
TAB. 5.1.1: MODBUS Input Registers
Register
number

address
Quantity
Format
1,2 0,1 Temperature in the set unit of measurement [x100] 16-bit integer
3,4 2,3
Atmospheric pressure in the set unit of measurement.
See table 4.3.1 for the position of the decimal point.
16-
bit integer
The measurements are signed 32-bit integer values. To read a measurement, two
consecutive 16-bit registers must be accessed. The register with lower address (for
example register number 3 for the atmospheric pressure) contains the most significant bytes.
Note: the accuracy of the temperature measurement is ± 1 °C. The resolution is hundredths.
5.2 SETTING THE MODBUS PARAMETERS
To set the Modbus address and the Modbus communication parameters, if different
from the factory default values, use the serial commands CMA (sets the address),
CMB (sets the Baud Rate), CMP (sets the parity and the stop bits) and CMW (sets
the receiving mode) of the Delta OHM proprietary protocol (see the parameters setting procedure in paragraph 4.5).
A
lternatively, the parameters can be set directly with Modbus commands by writing
their values in the Holding Registers (see table 5.2.1) with the function code 06h
(W
rite Single Register) or 10h (Write Multiple Registers).
To check if the last writing operation has been completed successfully, verify that the
Holding Register number 1 (address 0) contains the value 0, by using the 03h function
code (Read Holding Registers).
The 06h and 10h writing functions change only the value of the parameters
in the RAM memory, the change is therefore cancelled in case of power supply failure in the instrument. To make the change permanent, write the hexadeci-
mal value FF00 in the Coil Register number 3 (address 2) by using the 05h function
code (Write Single Coil). The command 05h must be sent within 10 seconds from the
last 06h or 10h command.
To check if the permanent storage has been completed successfully, verify that the
Holding Register number 2 (address 1) contains the value 0, by using the 03h function
code (Read Holding Registers).

5.4 ERROR REGISTER
The function code 03h (Read Holding Registers) allows reading the 16-bit register
number 3 (address 2) containing information on the possible error status of the
transmitter.
The bits of the register indicate the error condition according to the correspondence
shown in table 5.4.1.
TA
B. 5.4.1: error register
Bit Description

HD9408.3B - 20 - V1.2
6 NMEA PROTOCOL
In NMEA mode (only models HD9408.3B.1 and HD9408.3B.2), the instrument sends
automatically the acquired measurements at regular intervals. The interval is factoryset to 1 second and can be configured within 1 and 3600 seconds. To change the interval you should send the serial command CPD of the Delta OHM proprietary protocol
(see the parameters setting procedure in paragraph 4.5).
The p
rotocol is available with RS232, RS485 and RS422 serial connections. Communi-
cation parameters should be set in the PC or data logger as follows:
• Baud rate = 4800
• Data bits = 8
• Parity = Nessuna
• Stop bits = 1
The instrument is compatible with NMEA 0183 V4.00 protocol.
The protocol establishes that data are sent in the following format:
$PXDR,<Data>*<hh><CR><LF>
with:
<Data> = values measured by the instrument, separated by commas
<hh> = checksum, consisting in two hexadecimal characters
<CR> = character ASCII Carriage Return
<LF> = character ASCII Line Feed
The checksum is calculated by performing the exclusive OR of all characters ranging
within $ and * symbols. The 4 most significant bits and the 4 less significant bits of
the result are converted in hexadecimal. The hexadecimal value corresponding to the
most significant bits is transmitted as the first.
The instrument regularly sends the following string:
$PXDR,P,xxxxxx,P,x.xxxxx,B,xx.xx,C*hh<CR><LF>
EXAMPLE
Suppose that there are the following environmental conditions:
o Atmospheric pressure = 1023.64 hPa
o Temperature = 26.28 °C
The strings sent by the instrument are:
$PXDR,P,102364,P,1.02364,B,26.28,C*3D<CR><LF>
Note: the accuracy of the temperature measurement is ± 1 °C.

7 SDI-12 PROTOCOL
The HD9408.3B.3 transmitter is equipped with an SDI-12 communication interface
compliant with the version 1.3 of the protocol, which allows the connection to SDI-12
sensors networks.
The communication parameters of the protocol are:
• Baud rate = 1200
• Data bits = 7
• Parity = Even
• Stop bits = 1
Communication with the instrument is performed by sending a command in the following
format:
< Address >< Command >!
with:<Address> = address of the instrument the command is sent to
<Command> = type of operation requested to the instrument
The instrument reply is as follows:
< Address ><Data><CR><LF>
with: <Address> = address of the replying instrument
<Data> = information sent by the instrument
<CR> = ASCII character Carriage Return
<LF> = ASCII character Line Feed
The transmitter comes with a factory address preset to 0. The address can be modified by using the proper SDI-12 command reported in the following table.
The table below shows the available SDI-12 commands. To comply with the SDI-12
standard, the instrument address is indicated in the table with the letter a.
