2.1 Unpacking

When moving the transmitter to the installation site, keep it in its original packaging. Then, unpack
the transmitter there to avoid damage on the way.

2.2 Models and Specifications Check

The model name and specifications are indicated on the nameplate to the case. Please check your
specification and wanted model.

2.3 Storage

The following precautions must be observed when storing the instrument, especially for a long period.

(1) Select a storage area that meets the following conditions:

(a) It is not exposed to rain or water.
(b) It suffers minimum vibration and shock.
(c) If possible, it is preferable at normal temperature and humidity (approx. 25°C, 65% RH).

However, it has an ambient temperature and relative humidity within the following ranges.

● Ambient Temperature: -40 ~ 85°C (without LCD module)

-30 ~ 80°C (with LCD module)

* General Use -20 ~ 60°C (CSA Explosionproof)

● Relative Humidity: 5% ~ 98% RH (at 40°C)

(2) When storing the transmitter, repack it as nearly as possible to the way it was packed when

delivered from the factory.

(3) If storing a transmitter that has been used, thoroughly clean diaphragm surfaces (the pressure-

detector sections) of the diaphragm seals, so that no measured fluid remains on them. In addition,
make sure before storing that the pressure-detector and transmitter assemblies are securely
mounted.

2.4 Selecting the Installation Locations

The transmitter is designed to withstand severe environmental conditions. However, to ensure stable
and accurate operation for many years, the following precautions must be observed when selecting an
installation location.
(1) Ambient Temperature

Avoid locations subject to wide temperature variations or a significant temperature gradient. If the
location is exposed to radiant heat from plant equipment, provide adequate insulation or
ventilation.

(2) Ambient Atmosphere

Avoid installing the transmitter in a corrosive atmosphere. If the transmitter must be installed in a
corrosive atmosphere, there must be adequate ventilation as well as measures to prevent intrusion
or stagnation of rainwater in conduits. Moreover, there should be appropriate ventilation
preventing corrosion by rain gathered on conduit.

(3) Shock and Vibration

Select an installation site suffering minimum shock and vibration (although the transmitter is
designed to be relatively resistant to shock and vibration)

(4) Installation of Explosion-protected Transmitters

Explosion-protected transmitters can be installed in hazardous areas according to the gas types

for which they are certified.

APT3500 Smart Pressure Transmitter Operation Manual M3500-EO1G

12 DUON System Co., Ltd.

(5) Select a place that transmitter maintenance is very easy.

2.5 Calibration on Spot after Installation

(1) Sensor Zero Trim should be done after transmitter is installed on spot, because zero point is not

accurate as to mounting status.

(2) For Sensor Zero Trim, make differential pressure of transmitter for zero in advance. Then, make

Sensor Zero Trim after pressure is sufficiently stabilized (after approximately 10 seconds).

(3) There are two ways for making differential pressure for zero. One is to apply zero differential

pressure (making same pressure both high and low side pressure). The other is to close Hign and
Low side of stop valve of 3 valve manifold and to open its equalizing valve.

(4) Sensor Zero Trimming is to use HHT (ACONF312 or 275/375/475 HART Communicator), PC or PDA

configurator, and to use Zero/Span button. Make sure all details on this manual.

(5) Refer to On-line Operation for configuring another parameters except Sensor Zero Trim

2.6 Pressure Connections

The following precautions must be observed in order to safely operate the transmitter under pressure.
(1) Never apply a pressure higher than the specified maximum working pressure.
(2) Confirm the option of pressure connection of transmitter. Necessarily use standardized and quality-

approved parts.

(3) In case of being needed by hard circumstances and regulations, there should be seal equipment

for leakage.

2.7 Waterproofing of Cable Conduit Connections

Apply a non-hardening sealant (silicone or tape, etc.) to the threads to waterproof the transmitter
cable conduit connections.

2.8 Restrictions on Use of Radio Transceivers

▲ Warning

◈ Instrument installed in the process is under presure. Never loosen or tighten the flange bolts as it may

cause dangerous spouting of process fluid.

◈ If the accumulated process fluid may be toxic or otherwise harmful, take approriate care to avoid contack

with the body of inhalation of vapors even after dismounting the instrument from process line for
maintenance.

2.9 Insulation Resistance Test and Dielectric Strength Test

Since the transmitter has undergone insulation resistance and dielectric strength tests at the factory

before shipment, normally these tests are not required. However, if required, observe the following

precautions in the test procedures.

(1) Do not perform such tests more frequently than is absolutely necessary. Even test voltages that

do not cause visible damage to the insulation may degrade the insulation and reduce safety margins.

(2) Never apply a voltage exceeding 500 Vdc (100 Vdc with an internal lightening protector) for

the insulation resistance test, nor a voltage exceeding 500V AC (100V AC with an internal lighting

protector) for the dielectric strength test.

(3) Before conducting these tests, disconnect all signal lines from the transmitter terminals.

Perform the tests in the following procedure.

(4) Insulation Resistance test

(a) Short-circuit the + and - SUPPLY terminals in the terminal box.

(b) Turn OFF the insulation tester. Then connect the insulation tester plus (+) lead wire to the

shorted SUPPLY terminals and the minus (-) lead wire to the grounding terminal.

(c) Turn ON the insulation tester power and measure the insulation resistance. The voltage

should be applied short as possible to verify that insulation resistance is at least 20M.

(d) After completing the test and being very careful not to touch exposed conductors disconnect

the insulation tester and connect a 100k resister between the grounding terminal and the short-

circuiting SUPPLY terminals. Leave this resistor connected at least three second to discharge any static

potential. Do not touch the terminal while it is discharging.

(5) Dielectric Strength Test

(a) Short-circuit the + and - SUPPLY terminals in the terminal box.

(b) Turn OFF the dielectric strength tester. Then connect the tester between the shorted SUPPLY

terminal and the grounding terminal. Be sure to connect the grounding lead of the dielectric strength

tester to the ground terminal.

▲ Warning

◈ Although the transmitter has been designed to resist high frequency electrical noise, if a radio transeiver is

used near the transmitter of its external wiring, the transmitter may be affected by high frequency noise
pickup. To test for such effects, bring the transceiver in use slowly from a distance of several meters from
the transmitter, and observe the measurement loop for noise effects. Thereafter, always use the
transceiver outside the area affected by noise.

APT3500 Smart Pressure Transmitter Operation Manual M3500-EO1G

14 DUON System Co., Ltd.

(c) Set the current limit on the dielectric strength tester to 10mA, then turn ON the power and

gradually increase the tester voltage from '0' to the specified voltage.

(d) When the specified voltage is reached, hold it for one minute.

(e) After completing this test, slowly decrease the voltage to avoid any voltage surges.

(2) Open the housing front side covers. In case Power Supply, don't open the covers of

transmitter
(3) After turn off Jumper, turn on at wanted position.
(4) Close the housing covers. You must fully engage to meet explosion proof requirements

3.7 Configuration of Zero and Span Procedures

This product is designed to enable basic set-up only by Transmitter own buttons without additional

devices. Because progression of button manipulation is displayed on LCD, button manipulation can be

used only in products containing LCD module. Opening the Name Plate cover in the housing top, you

can see ZERO and SPAN buttons. This product uses contactless magnetic buttons, which are

completely separated from the Transmitter interior. Hence, this is suitable for the case, such as

flameproof environment, that Transmitter interior should be sealed.

ZERO & SPAN Button

[Note1] ZERO and SPAN button are designed to be active by finger push but, depending on use

environment, tools such as pen or screw driver should be used to push deep for accurate
action.

[Note2] If magnetic screw driver is used, button may not be active. Hence, non-magnetic screw
