Series 634ES Pressure Transmitter

Specifications - Installation and Operating Instructions

The Series 634ES Pressure Transmitter senses a single air, compati-
ble gas or liquid pressure and converts it into a standard 4-20 mA output
signal. Ranges are available from 0-10 through 0-6000 psi. All models
are field adjustable so any range within these limits can be achieved by
recalibration using the easily accessible span and zero potentiometers.

Positive pressure can be measured within an accuracy of ±0.5% of span.
The Series 634ES uses an isolated piezoresistive pressure sensor to
produce a resistance change across a wheatstone bridge. The signal is
conditioned and converted into a 4-20 mA output signal.

For applications requiring direct pressure or percent of full span read­ings, the optional A-701 digital readout makes an ideal companion
device, providing a bright .6” high, 3-1/2˝ digit LED and supplying power
to the Series 634ES Transmitter.

INSTALLATION

LOCATION: Select a location where temperature of the unit will be

between 20°F and 120°F. Distance from the receiver is limited only by
total loop resistance. See “Electrical Connections.” The tube feeding the
pressure to the instrument can be run practically any length required, but
long lengths will slightly increase response time. Avoid surfaces with
excessive vibration.

POSITION: A vertical position is recommended, as all stocked models
are spanned and zeroed at the factory in this position. They can be used
at other angles, but final spanning and zeroing must be done while trans­mitter is in the alternative position.

PRESSURE CONNECTIONS: A single pressure connection is provided
at the bottom of the transmitter housing. It has1/4” female NPT and 1/2”
male NPT threads. Attach positive pressure to this port.

MOUNTING: The Series 634ES Transmitter can be mounted three ways:

(A) Supported directly by pipe providing pressure.

(B) Attached to a mounting surface with 10-32 x 1/4” machine screws
(included). The machine screws are installed through the mounting sur­face into tapped holes on back of unit.

(C) Mounted with “Z” brackets (included). Attach “Z” brackets to tapped
holes on back of unit and fasten to front of mounting surface.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

CAUTION: DO NOT EXCEED SPECIFIED SUPPLY VOLTAGE RAT-

INGS. PERMANENT DAMAGE NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY WILL
RESULT. THIS UNIT IS NOT DESIGNED FOR AC VOLTAGE OPERA­TION.

Electrical connections to the Series 634ES Transmitter are made inside
the enclosure. Remove the cover, feed stripped and tinned leads through
the conduit opening and connect to terminal block screws marked + and

-. See Figure A for locations of terminal block, span and zero adjust
potentiometers. See Figure B (Pg. 3) for schematic diagram.

FIG. A

An external power supply delivering 12.3 to 35 VDC with minimum cur­rent capability of 40 mA must be used to power the control loop in which
the Series 634ES Transmitter is connected. See Figure B for connection
of the power supply, transmitter and receiver.

The range of appropriate receiver load resistance (RL) for the power sup­ply voltage available is given by the formula and graph in Figure C on Pg.

3.

Shielded 2-wire cable is recommended for control loop wiring, and the
cable shielding may be grounded if desired. Note also that the receiver
may be connected in either the negative or positive side of the loop,
whichever is most convenient.

Should polarity of the transmitter or receiver inadvertently become
reversed, the loop will not function properly, but no damage will be done
to the transmitter.

20mA DC

Series 634ES Transmitters can be used with receivers requiring 1-5 volt
input rather than 4-20 mA. If the receiver requires a 1-5 volt input, insert a
250 ohm, 2 watt resistor in series with the current loop but in parallel with
the receiver input. Referring to Figure B, RLbecomes the 250 ohm resis­tor and points X and Y are connected to the receiver input, point X being
positive (+) and point Y negative (-) or ground. The resistor should be
connected at the panel end of the transmitter current loop close to the
receiver input to take advantage of the immunity of the current loop to
electrical noise pickup. Most electronic component distributors stock a
249 Ω, 2 watt, ± 1% tolerance metal film resistor which is adequate for
this application.

WIRE LENGTH - The maximum length of wire connecting transmitter
and receiver is a function of wire size and receiver resistance. Wiring
should not contribute more than 10% of receiver resistance to total loop
resistance. For extremely long runs (over 1000 feet) choose receivers
with higher resistances to minimize size and costs of connecting leads.
When wiring length is under 100 feet, lead wire as small as 22 AWG can
be used.

PRESSURE RANGING - Each Series 634ES Transmitter is factory-cal­ibrated to the range given in the model number chart. However, special
calibration is also available. If this is the case, the transmitter will be so
marked. For purposes of clarification in these instructions, range is
defined as that pressure which, applied to the transmitter, produces 20
mA of current in the loop. Zero pressure is always assumed to be 4 mA.
If a transmitter pressure range other than that supplied is required, fol­low the re-ranging procedure described on Pg. 4.

FIG. C

PRESSURE RE-RANGING PROCEDURE

1. With the transmitter correctly connected to the companion receiver, an
accurate milliameter with a full scale reading of approximately 30 mA
should be inserted in series with the current loop. A controllable pressure
source capable of achieving the desired range should be connected to
the pressure port of the transmitter and teed into an accurate reference
pressure gauge or manometer. The instrument must be ranged in the
same position in which it will be used. Vertical mounting is recommend­ed.

2. Apply electrical power to the system and allow it to stabilize for 10
minutes.

MULTIPLE RECEIVER INSTALLATION

An advantage of the standard 4-20 mA output signal provided by the
Series 634ES Pressure Transmitter is that any number of receivers can
be connected in series in the current loop. Thus, an A-701 Digital
Readout Accessory, an analog panel meter, a chart recorder, process
controlling equipment, or any combination of these devices can be oper­ated simultaneously. It is only necessary that these devices all be
equipped with a standard 4-20 mA input and that proper polarity of the
input connections be observed when inserting the device in the current
loop. If any of the receiving devices displays a negative or downscale
reading, this indicates that the signal input leads are reversed.

3. With no pressure applied to the transmitter, adjust “zero” control so
that loop current is 4 mA.

4. Apply full range pressure and adjust loop current to 20 mA using
“span” control.

5. Relieve pressure and allow transmitter to stabilize for two minutes.

6. Zero and span adjustments may be interactive, so repeat steps 3
through 5 until zero and full range pressures consistently produce loop
currents of 4 and 20 mA respectively.

7. Remove the milliameter from the current loop and proceed with final
installation of the transmitter and receiver.

MAINTENANCE

Upon final installation of the Series 634ES Transmitter and the companion
receiver, including the A-701 Digital Readout, no routine maintenance is
required. A periodic check of system calibration is recommended. The
Series 634ES Pressure Transmitter is not field serviceable and should
be returned, freight prepaid, to the factory if repair is required. The A-701
Digital Readout should be returned to the manufacturer if service is
needed. Refer to the A-701 instruction sheet.
