The Dwyer Series 7000 Spirahelic®Pressure Indicating Transmitter
provides local indication on a large, easy-to-read analog scale while also
converting that pressure into a standard two wire 4-20 mA output signal.
Positive pressure of compatible gases or liquids is measured with 1/2%
of full scale accuracy. The gage employs a triple helix Bourdon tube
movement with direct drive design to reduce friction and mass for exceptional responsiveness, repeatability and accuracy. Because there are no
gears, springs, linkages or other complicated mechanisms, wear is practically eliminated. The electrical output signal is produced by a piezoresistive pressure sensor mounted on the pressure block. The pressure
block also includes an integral filter plug to protect the gage interior from
dirt and other particulates. Safety is assured with a solid front case
design and a rear blowout hole.
INSTALLATION
1. Select a location free from excessive vibration where the temperature
limits of 20° to 120°F (-6.7° to 49°C) will not be exceeded. The mounting
surface should be vertical to match the position in which all standard
gages are calibrated. Avoid locations in direct sunlight which may cause
accelerated discoloration of the clear acrylic lens or where exposure to
oil mist or other airborne vapors could likewise result in lens damage.
Make sure that the case relief area on the rear is not obstructed. This
hole is designed to direct pressure rearward in the event of failure or the
Bourdon tube element. See complete safety recommendations in this
bulletin.
2. Cut a 4.94˝ (125 mm) mounting hole and drill (3) 7/32˝ (5.56 mm) bolt
holes on a 5.38˝ (137 mm) bolt circle as shown in drawing above. Attach
gage to panel with (3) 3/16˝ bolts of appropriate length.

PNEUMATIC CALIBRATION TESTER
Use a dead weight tester or certified test gage with .125% or better accuracy. The test gage range should be comparable to the range of the
Spirahelic®Pressure Indicating Transmitter being checked. Connect the
lines from the two instruments to a tee and the third line from the tee to
a controllable source of pressure. Apply pressure slowly so pressure
equalizes throughout the system. Compare readings, if gage being tested is found to need calibration, return it, freight prepaid to the factory.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
CAUTION: Do not exceed specified supply voltage ratings. Permanent
damage not covered by warranty will result. This unit is not designed for
120 or 240 volt AC line operation.
Electrical connections to the Series 7000 Spirahelic®Pressure Indicating
Transmitter are made at the rear of the pressure gage. Feed stripped and
tinned leads to the terminal block screws shown below, refer to Figure A
for locations of the terminal block, span and zero adjustments.

2-Wire Operation - A external power supply delivering 10-35 VDC with
minimum current capability of 40 mA DC (per transmitter), must be used
to power the control loop. See Figure B for connection of the power supply, transmitter, and receiver. The range of the appropriate receiver load
resistance (R
L
) for the DC power supply voltage available is expressed
by the formula and graph in Figure C. Shielded two wire cable is recommended for control loop wiring. if grounding is required use negative side
of control loop after receiver see Figure B.
PRESSURE RANGING
Each standard Series 7000 Spirahelic
®
Pressure Indicating Transmitter is
factory calibrated to produce a 4 mA output signal at zero pressure and
a 20 mA signal at full scale. Use the following procedure to check or
adjust the output signal calibration.
1. With the unit connected to its companion receiver and power supply,
an accurate milliammeter should be inserted in series with the current
loop. A controllable pressure source capable of achieving the necessary
full scale pressure should be connected to the pressure port of the transmitter and teed to an accurate pressure gage or manometer. The instrument should be calibrated 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.
3. With no pressure applied to the transmitter, adjust “Zero” control so
that loop current is 4 mA.
4. Apply full scale pressure and adjust “Span” control so that loop current
is 20 mA.
5. Relieve pressure and allow transmitter to stabilize to 2 minutes.
6. Zero and Span controls are slightly interactive so repeat steps 3
through 5 until zero and full scale pressures consistently produce loop
currents of 4 and 20 mA respectively.
7. Remove milliammeter from the current loop and proceed with final
installation of the transmitter and receiver.
