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.

m

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

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.

Fail Safe mode can be set via Jumper switches provided on the LCD
module or the main CPU module. The jumper switch for an indicating
transmitter, located on the LCD module, can be set to the right (fail
down i.e. ≤ 3.75 mA) or left (fail up i.e. ≥ 21.75 mA). For non­indicating transmitters the jumper switch is located on the main CPU
module, it can be set up (fail up to ≥ 21.75 mA) or down (fail down
to ≤ 3.75 mA). Refer to Figure 3-1 for detailed summary of jumper
settings for both CPU and LCD modules.

Figure 3-2 Fail Mode Selection Jumper Switch for LCD Module

3-5 EEProm-Write Enable / Disable Mode Switch

EEPROM (Electrically Erasable Programmable ROM), included on
the CPU module, is used by the transmitter to save/restore
configuration variables. To protect the transmitter from any
unauthorized changes, a hardware lockout feature can be
implemented by using the Write-Protect mode jumper switch
provided on the main CPU Module. This Jumper switch is
designated as “EEP-Write DIS/EN” on the CPU Module. If the
jumper switch is connected to DIS, this disables writing/changing of
any data saved in the EEPROM. On the other hand, if the jumper
switch is set to “EN”, changes can be made to the configuration data
stored in the EEPROM. The factory default setting is “EN” (Enable)
for all transmitters. The location of the Wire Protect Jumper Switch
can be seen in Figure 3-3.

configured on a bench with an HHT before installation.

Figure 4-1 Installation Flow Chart

4.5 General Considerations

The transmitter can be mounted near the process to minimize piping.
Keep in mind that easy access is required for personnel, field
calibration, and installation. Install the transmitter in an area with
minimal vibration, shock, and temperature fluctuations.

4.6 Electrical Considerations (Power Supply)

The transmitter housing is composed of two parts. One side is
electronics, and the other side is terminal block. The terminal block
side is the transmitter's front side and is labeled “Field Terminal" on
the housing. The terminal block can be accessed by removing the
front cover. When wiring the power supply to the transmitter make
sure the positive and negative wires are connected correctly.
A HHT configurator can be connected directly across the (COMM)
pin terminal located just below the power supply (PWR) terminal
block connections.

4.6.1 Power Supply

The 3200 Pressure Transmitter requires an 11.9 - 45 VDC power
supply. A 250 ~ 550Ω (24 VDC) loop resistance is recommended
for HART

®

communication.

Loop resistance is the sum of the resistance in the loop.

Max. Loop Resistance [Ω] = (E-11.9) [vdc] / 0.022 [mA]

4.7.1 Wiring Caution

1. Install the signal cables away from potential sources of
electrical noise such as transformers, electrical motors, etc.

2. Before wiring, remove electrical conduit cap.

3. All screwed connections on the housing must be sealed with
waterproof sealant. We recommend use of silicone based

sealants to minimize post- hardening.

4. Avoid running DC signal and AC power cables in the same
ducts/cable conduits to avoid signal noise issues.

5. All explosion proof transmitters must meet the wiring &

nstallation requirements specified within the applicable

i
electrical codes.

4.7.2 Selecting the Wiring Materials

1. Use 600V shielded PVC wire or standard wire of the same
class. (To ensure proper communication use 24 AWG or
larger wire, and do not exceed 5000 feet.)

2. Use shielded wire in areas with electrical noise.

3. In areas with high or low ambient temperatures, use wire or
cable that is rated for the extreme temperatures.

4. If the wire or cable is going to be used in oil, solvent, toxic
gas or liquid, make sure it is rated accordingly.

5. Process wire or cable must not be soldered to the terminal
lug. Spade connectors are recommended to connect the
process wires to the transmitter.

4.7.3 Connecting External Wires to Transmitter
Terminal Box

1. Open the cover indicated "FIELD TERMINAL". Do not open
the cover if the transmitter is located in an explosion-proof
area and powered. Connect the power supply to the
terminal indicated "+PWR" (left terminal) and "-" in the
central terminal. Do not connect "+" power supply to "+"
terminal "TEST". It will damage the test diode.

2. Seal and close the conduit connection to prevent humidity
and explosion-proof atmosphere from entering the housing.

3. Transmitter power is supplied by signal wire. Do not install
near high voltage wires or high voltage equipment.

4. Close the transmitter cover. To meet the explosion-proof
ratings make sure the covers are fully engaged.

NOTE: Do not power the transmitter with high voltage
(AC). It can damage the transmitter.

5. You must connect a 250~550 Ohm Resistor in Current

4.9 Environmental Considerations

4.9.1 Ambient Temperature

The transmitter ambient temperature range is 4 to 180°F
(-20 to 60°C). If the ambient temperature is going to exceed the
temperature range, precautions must be taken to keep the
temperature within the temperature limits.

4.9.2 Toxic and Moist Environments

The 3200 housing will protected the transmitter against moisture
or toxic material. The electronic circuit is separated from the
terminals. The housing covers have o-rings that seal the housing,

ut moisture can penetrate the housing thru the conduit. The

b
transmitter should be mounted in a position to prevent moisture
from entering the housing thru the conduit.

4.9.3 Installation in Hazardous Location

The transmitter is designed with an explosion-proof housing.
Installation environment must not exceed the explosion-proof
rating.

Chapter 5 On-line Operation

5.1 Overview

This chapter describes how to configure the 3200 Smart Pressure
Transmitter. The transmitter can be configured in On-Line or Off-Line
mode. In On-Line Mode a compatible HHT or PC configuration
device must be used.

Figure 4-7. A-630 Mounting Bracket

4.8.1 Mounting

Avoid installing transmitters in environments with excessive
vibration. If it cannot be avoided, it is highly recommended to
provide adequate support when mounting.

4.8.2 Consideration of Transmitter Access

When selecting the installation location, accessibility must be
taken into consideration.

• Housing rotation: The housing can be rotated 90°.

• Wiring terminals: The cover and wiring terminals
are easily accessible.

• LCD/Circuits: Install the transmitter in a location where it
can be seen. For transmitters without an LCD, the cover
and jumpers are easily accessible.

5.2 Safety Message

circuit is powered.

• Both transmitter covers must be fully engaged to meet explosion-proof
requirements.

WARNING

• When installing transmitters in close proximity of high voltage sources (near power
lines) the transmitter leads can be subject to high voltages.

• Avoid contact with the leads and terminals.

Explosion can result in death or serious injury:

Electrical shock can result in serious injury:

5.2.2 Current to Passive Mode Configuration

For multi-drop mode the current output must be configured as
passive mode. Please disregard any other messages shown on
an HHT.

5.3 Configuration Data Review

Before operating the transmitter make sure the configuration data on
the nameplate matches the application.

5.4 Configuration Verification

Before the transmitter is ready for service, the configuration must be
checked to confirm the settings are configured for the application.

5.4.1 Process Variable

There are two process variables in the 3200 Smart Pressure

Transmitter. The primary variable and temperature compensated
SV (Second Variable), the PV value outputs the 4~20mA analog
value.

5.5 Basic Setup

The correlation variable must be configured before operating the
transmitter.

5.5.1 Select Sensor Range

The pressure range must be selected when ordering the pressure
transmitter.

5.8 Configuration of Breakdown Diagnostic Function

5.8.1 Loop Test

The Loop Test verifies the output of the transmitter, the integrity

of the loop, and the operation of any recorders or similar devices

installed in the loop. The following procedures are required for a

loop test.

5.5.2 Set Output Units

Select from the following engineering units:

Unit: KPa, kg/cm

5.5.3 4-20mA Configuration

Set the Zero and Span for the 4~20mA analog output.

5.6 Detailed Setup

5.6.1 Set Fail Mode

When the sensor or microprocessor is not operating properly, the
transmitter will output 3.75mA or 21.75mA based on the Fail Mode
setting.

5.6.2 Set Dampening Time

The Dampening Seconds value changes the response time of the
transmitter to smooth out variations caused by rapid process
changes. Determine the appropriate dampening setting based on
the required response time, signal stability, and other
requirements of your system.
The Dampening Seconds can be set from 0-60 seconds; the
default dampening value is 1.0 second.

5.7 Configuration of Information Variable

5.7.1 Set Tag

Tags are an easy way to classify transmitters in multi transmitter
application. Tags can use 8 words/numbers.

5.7.2 Set Messages

When using several transmitters, the user can define each
transmitter by using 32 words/numbers. This message is saved in
EEPROM.

2

, bar, psi, mmH2O etc.

• Connect a reference meter to the transmitter.

• Select the Loop Test on the HHT and operate the Loop
Test.
Select curent output (4mA/20mA/etc)

•

• If the readings match, then the transmitter and the loop
are configured and functioning properly. If the readings
do not match, then you may have the current meter
attached to the wrong loop, there may be a fault in the
wiring, the transmitter may require an output trim, or the
current meter may be malfunctioning.

5.9 Calibration

The scale is implemented by calibrating the transmitter. Trim function
has several calibration functions. Smart transmitters operate
differently than analog transmitter. A smart transmitter uses a
microprocessor that contains information about the sensor's specific
characteristics in response to pressure and temperature for
calculating the process variable. 4-20mA configuration sets the
transmitter’s analog output to a selected upper and lower range and
can be done with or without an applied pressure. 4-20mA
configuration does not change the factory characterization curve
stored in the microprocessor. Sensor trimming requires an accurate
pressure input and adds additional compensation to the factory
characterization curve to optimize transmitter performance over a
specific pressure range. 4-20mA configuration provides the ability to
readjust the 4~20mA sensor inputs.

5.9.1 Sensor Trim

The Sensor trim function adjusts the A/D signal conversion within
the transmitter sensor electronics and determines how it digitally
interprets any pressure changes applied to the sensor inputs. It is
highly recommended to perform a sensor trim when first
commissioning the transmitter on site. There are three ways to
trim the sensor: Sensor zero trim, full trim and zero adjustment.
Sensor zero trim is a one-point adjustment typically used to
compensate for the mounting position. Two point trim is a full
sensor trim, in which two accurate pressures are applied (equal to
or greater than the range values), and the output is linear. You
should always adjust the low trim value first to establish the
correct offset.

5.9.2 D/A (Digital to Analog) Trim

The D/A trim function makes minor adjustments to the analog
(4-20mA) output scaling from the transmitter. It is recommended
to do a D/A trim on both hi (20mA) & low ( 4mA) values for best
results. This function corrects any minuscule offsets within the
D/A conversion of the transmitter

6.4 Hardware Maintenance

The Mercoid

®

3200 Smart Transmitter has no moving parts and
requires little maintenance. If a transmitter fails, it must be retuned to
Dwyer Instruments, Inc. for inspection, repair, or replacement.

6.4.1 Test Terminals

The test terminals are marked TEST on the terminal block. The
test and negative terminals are connected to the power terminals;
so long as the voltage across the receptacles are below the diode
threshold voltage, no current will pass through the diode. To

nsure that current isn’t leaking through the diode, test the reading

e
with an indicating meter. The test connection should not exceed
10 ohms. A resistance value of 30 ohms will cause an
approximate 10 percent of reading error.
