2.1 Unpacking

When moving the transmitter to the installation site, keep it in the
original packaging. Unpack the transmitter at the installation site to
avoid damage on the way.

2.2 Models and Specifications Check

The model number and specifications are indicated on the
nameplate. Please check the specification and model number.

2.3 Storage

The following precautions must be observed when storing the

nstrument, especially for a long period.

i

1. Select a storage area that meets the following conditions:

- is not exposed to rain or water.

- minimal vibration and shock.

- stored at normal temperature and humidity
(approx. 77°F (25°C), 65% RH).

The ambient temperature and relative humidity ratings are:

Ambient Temperature: -40 to 185°F (-40 to 85°C)

(without LCD module)

-22 to 176°F (-30 to 80°C)

(with LCD module)
General Use: -4 to 140°F (-20 to 60°C)
Relative Humidity: 5% ~ 98% RH at 104°F (40°C)

2. When storing the transmitter, repack it the way it was delivered
from the factory.

2.5 Calibration on Spot after Installation

1. Sensor Zero Trim should be done after transmitter is installed,
because the zero point is not configured for mounting status.

2. When calibrating the Sensor Zero Trim apply a pressure of zero in
advance, Sensor Zero Trim the sensor when the pressure is
sufficiently stabilized (after approximately 10 seconds).

3. Sensor Zero Trimming can also be done with the Zero/Span
button or a HHT (HART

®

Communicator), PC or PDA configurator.

4. Refer to On-line Operation for configuring other parameters.

2.6 Pressure Connections

WARNING

• Never loosen or tighten as it may cause dangerous spouting of process fluid. If the

process fluid is toxic or otherwise harmful, take appropriate care to avoid contact or
inhalation of vapors even after disconnecting the instrument from process line for

aintenance.

nstrument installed in the process under pressure.

I

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 pressure of transmitter. It is necessary to use
standardized and quality-approved parts.

3. There should be isolation valves in case of leakage.

2.7 Waterproofing Cable Conduit Connections

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

3. If storing a used transmitter, thoroughly clean the diaphragm
surfaces, so that no media remains. Make sure the transmitter
assemblies are securely mounted before storing.

2.4 Selecting Installation Locations

The transmitter is designed to withstand severe environmental
conditions. However, to ensure stable and accurate operation, 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. Precautions must be put into place
to prevent intrusion or stagnation of rainwater in conduits.

3. Shock and Vibration
Select an installation site with minimal shock and vibration
(although the transmitter is designed to be relatively resistant to
shock and vibration).

4. Installation of Explosion-Proof Transmitters
Explosion-Proof transmitters can be installed in hazardous
areas according to the gas types for which they are certified.

2.8 Restrictions on Use of Radio Transceivers

WARNING

transmitter’s external wiring, the transmitter may be affected by high frequency
noise pickup. To test for such effects, bring the transceiver in slowly from a distance
of several feet from the transmitter, and observe the measurement loop for noise
affects. Always use the transceiver outside the area affected by noise.

Although the transmitter has been designed to resist high
frequency electrical noise, if a radio transceiver is used near the

5. Select a place where transmitter can be maintenanced easily.

2.9 Insulation Resistance Test and Dielectric Strength Test

Since the transmitter has undergone insulation resistance and
dielectric strength tests at the factory, 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 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 500VDC for the insulation
resistance test, or a voltage exceeding 500VAC for the dielectric

trength test.

s

3. Before conducting these tests, disconnect all signal lines from the
transmitter terminals. Perform the tests using the following
procedure.

2. Operating Temperature : -20°C ≤ T

3. T6 for process ≤ 85°C;

4. T5 for process ≤ 100°C;

5. T4 for process ≤ 130°C;

Insulation Resistance test

1. Short-circuit the + and - SUPPLY terminals in the terminal

box.

2. 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.

3. Turn ON the insulation tester power and measure the insulation

resistance. The voltage should be applied briefly to verify that
insulation resistance is at least 20MΩ.

4. After completing the test and being very careful not to touch

exposed conductors. Disconnect the insulation tester and
connect a 100kW resistor between the grounding terminal and
the short-circuiting SUPPLY terminals. Leave this resistor
connected at least three seconds to discharge any static
potential. Do not touch the terminal while it is discharging.

Dielectric Strength Test

1. Short-circuit the + and - SUPPLY terminals in the terminal

box.

2. 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.

3. 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.

4. When the specified voltage is reached, hold it for one minute.

5. After completing this test, slowly decrease the voltage to avoid

any voltage surges.

NOTICE

Installation

1. All wiring shall comply with local installation requirement.

2. The cable glands and blanking elements shall be of a certified
flameproof type, suitable for the condition of use and correctly
installed. Also those devices should be endured at the 130°C.

3. Housing Ground must be followed to “local electrical codes”. The
most efficient ground procedure is to connect directly to the earth
as least impedance.

1. How to Housing Ground:
A. Internal Ground Connection:

Internal ground connection screw is located in terminal in
housing; the screw can be identified as ground sign.

B. External Ground Assembly:

This is located in the right side of housing and identified as
ground sign. (Grounding with a cable lug)

2. When use tubing, stopping boxes must be connected with the wall
of housing directly.

3. Tubing is installed a minimum of 5 threads.

4. Sensor is to be threaded a minimum of 7 threads and prevented
from turing by tightening the housing rotation set screw.

5. Do not disassemble flameproof Joints but in an unavoidable case
to disassemble it or need the specification of flameproof Joints,
contact the manufacturer before doing.
