3.2 Function

3.2.1 Calculating the pressure

Endress+Hauser 11
Devices with ceramic process isolating diaphragm (Ceraphire®)
The ceramic sensor is an oil-free sensor, i.e. the process pressure acts directly on the robust ceramic process isolating diaphragm and causes it to deflect. A pressure-dependent
Product description Ceraphant PTC31B, PTP31B, PTP33B
change in capacitance is measured at the electrodes of the ceramic substrate and the process isolating diaphragm. The measuring range is determined by the thickness of the ceramic process isolating diaphragm.
Devices with metallic process isolating diaphragm
The process pressure deflects the metal process isolating diaphragm of the sensor and a fill fluid transfers the pressure to a Wheatstone bridge (semiconductor technology). The pressure-dependent change in the bridge output voltage is measured and evaluated.

5.1 Mounting dimensions

For dimensions, see the "Mechanical construction" section in the Technical Information.

5.2 Installation conditions

• Moisture must not penetrate the housing when mounting the device, establishing the
electrical connection and during operation.
• Do not clean or touch process isolating diaphragms with hard and/or pointed objects.
• Do not remove process isolating diaphragm protection until shortly before installation.
• Always tighten the cable entry firmly.
• Point the cable and connector downwards where possible to prevent moisture from
entering (e.g. rain or condensation water).
• Protect housing against impact.
• For devices with gauge pressure sensor and M12 or valve plug, the following applies:
NOTICE
If a heated device is cooled in the course of a cleaning process (by cold water, for example), a vacuum develops for a short time causing moisture to penetrate the sensor via the pressure compensation element (1).
Device could be destroyed!
In the event of this happening, mount the device in such a way that the pressure
compensation element (1) is pointing downwards at an angle or to the side, if possible.
A0022252

5.3 Influence of the installation position

Any orientation is possible. However, the orientation may cause a zero point shift i.e. the measured value does not show zero when the vessel is empty or partially full.

Operators are responsible for the devices during normal "operation". This is usually limited to reading process values either directly at the device or in a control room. Should an error occur, these users simply forward the information on the errors but do not intervene themselves.
Service engineers usually work with the devices in the phases following device commissioning. They are primarily involved in maintenance and troubleshooting activities for which simple settings have to be made on the device. Technicians work with the devices over the entire life cycle of the product. Thus, commissioning and advanced settings and configurations are some of the tasks they have to carry out.

7.2 Structure of the operating menu

The menu structure has been implemented according to VDMA 24574-1 and complemented by Endress+Hauser-specific menu items.

operating errors.

7.3 Operation with local display

7.3.1 Overview

A 1-line liquid crystal display (LCD) is used for display and operation. The local display shows measured values, fault messages and information messages and therefore supports the user through each operating step.
The display is fixed to the housing and can be electronically rotated 180° (see parameter description for "DRO" →  62). This ensures optimum readability of the local display and allows the device to be mounted upside down also.
During measuring operation, the display shows measured values, fault messages and notice messages. In addition, it is possible to switch to menu mode via the operating keys.

7.4 General value adjustment and rejection of illegal entries

Parameter (not numerical value) is flashing: parameter can be adjusted or selected.
When adjusting a numerical value: the numerical value does not flash. The first digit of the numerical value starts to flash only when the  key is pressed by way of confirmation. Enter the desired value with the  or  key and press the  key to confirm. Following confirmation, the data are recorded directly and are active. – Entry is OK: value is accepted and shown for one second on the display against a white
background.
– Entry is not OK: the message "FAIL" appears for one second on the display against a red
background. The value entered is rejected. In the event of an incorrect setting which affects the TD, an diagnostic message is displayed.

7.5 Navigation and selection from list

The capacitive operating keys are used for navigation in the operating menu and to select an option from a picklist.

7.6 Locking and unlocking operation

The device features
• Automatic key locking
• Parameter settings lock.
Key locking is indicated on the local display by "E > 2".
Locking of the parameter settings is indicated as soon as an attempt is made to change a parameter.

7.6.1 Disabling the key lock

The keys are locked automatically if the device remains at the topmost menu level (display of pressure measurement value) for 60 seconds.
Call up the key lock function (KYL)
1. Press the  key for at least 2 seconds and then release it
2. By confirming with  "ON" is displayed
3. Use  and  to toggle between "ON" and "OFF"
4. Key locking is disabled as soon as  is pressed to confirm "OFF"
The display changes to the main value level (topmost menu level) if the  key is pressed briefly. The display changes to the key locking if the  key is pressed for at least 2 seconds.
If in the case of "KYL", "ON" or "OFF", more than 10 seconds elapse without a key being pressed, you return to the topmost menu level with active key locking.
The function can be accessed anytime outside the main measured value display and within the operating menu, i.e. if the  key is pressed for at least 2 seconds key locking can be performed anytime at any menu item. Locking is effective immediately. If you quit the context menu, you will return to the same point from which key locking was selected.

7.6.2 Locking parameter settings
