2 Application Purpose
Transmitter with analogue output and display, and
switching unit for differential pressure for liquid and
gaseous media.
3 Description of the Product and Func-
tional Description
3.1 Function Diagram
3.2 Design and mode of operation
The unit is based on an electronic analysis switch
that analyses the measuring signals from two integrated pressure sensors. The signals of the pressure sensors can be displayed separately for testing.
The integrated pressure sensors work with ceramic
pressure measuring cells. The signals are digitalised and made available to the analysis unit for further processing.
The main task is to calculate the differential pressure that can be displayed and analysed. The analysis allows the configuration of two independent
switching points and the provision of an output signal that is proportional to the differential pressure.
The rated pressures of the integrated sensors and
the differential pressure measuring range are set
ex-works and shown on the type plate. The differential pressure measuring range can be spread 10:1.
4 Installation and Assembly
The device is designed for installation onto flat assembly plates. For screw connection to the assembly plate, the device features four assembly bores
on its back, which can be used for Ø 3.5 mm tapping screws.
Optionally, the device can be supplied with a wall
mounting plate (see order code).
The casing protection class IP65 is only guaranteed
if a suitable connection cable is used.
If the device is intended for outdoor use, we recommend permanently protecting the membrane
keypad against UV radiation and using a suitable
enclosure or at least the erection of a sufficiently
dimensioned canopy as a protection measure
against constant rain or snow.

4.1 Process connection
• By authorized and qualified specialized person-
nel only.
• The pipes need to be depressurized when the
device is being connected.
• Appropriate steps must be taken to protect the
device from pressure surges.
• Check the suitability of the device for the media
to be measured.
• Maximum pressures must be observed.
• Check that the pressure connections do not
leak before commissioning.
The pressure sensing lines need to be kept as short
as possible and installed without sharp bends to
avoid interfering delay times.
The pressure connections are marked with (+) and
(-) symbols on the device. For differential pressure
measurements, the higher pressure is connected to
the (+) side and the lower pressure to the (-) side of
the device.
4.2 Electronic connection
• By authorized and qualified specialized person-
nel only.
• The electrical connection of the device shall be
performed according to relevant VDE and local
electricity board regulations.
• Disconnect the system from the mains before
connecting the device.
• Add a fuse adapted to the energy requirements.

5 Commissioning
All electrical supply, operating and measuring lines,
and the pressure connections must have been correctly installed before commissioning. All supply
lines are arranged so that there are no mechanical
forces acting on the device.
Check that the pressure connections do not leak
before commissioning.
5.1 Display
Status display of the switching outputs
The 3½ digit LED display shows the current differential pressure in normal mode. The symbols P1
and P2 on the left next to the display are backlit depending on the selected display function (see
5.3.2.).

4 | 12 Page
The selected measuring unit is backlit to the right of
the display. Two light diodes above the display symbolise the status of the switching outputs
(LED shines = switch is closed).
When configuring the parameters, the display either
shows the respective menu point or the associated
parameter value. The device continues to work
whilst the parameters are being set; apart from two
exceptions, the changes come into effect immediately.
The exceptions are a change in the switching times
- the previously valid time must run down - and a
change in the support point table (see 5.3.8). In this
case, all output signals and switching statuses are
frozen until the changes have been completed.
Please note that for a 3½ digit display, only numbers between -1999 and +1999 can be shown.
5.2 Operating keys
The operating keys have the following function:
Page down menu
Reduce value
Page up menu
Increase value
By using the middle û key on the membrane keypad you can access the parameter menu (setting
mode). The reading now shows the text ESc.
Press the right button þ to move upwards in the
menu and select a large range of parameters.
Press the left button ÿ to move downwards in the
menu, return to the parameters by pressing esc.
Press the middle key û to call up a parameter.
You can set the parameter value using the keys ÿ
and þ.
To confirm a set parameter value, press the key û.
All set parameters are only saved when the user
leaves the parameter menu via esc.
5.3 Parameters
For commissioning there is a multitude of setting
options for optimum adaptation of the device to the
measuring point and task at hand. This section covers these options step by step.
Depending on the current device model, some
menu items may not be available. For instance, all
characteristic curve functions are hidden in the
menu if the device does not have a signal output.
The device can also be completely configured easily on the PC via a Transmitter PC Interface EU03.
Here, all parameters are directly visible and accessible. Also, the entire configuration can be loaded,
saved and documented in a printout. For more in-
formation about this program, please refer to the
documentation on the Transmitter PC Interface.
5.3.1 Selecting the pressure unit
First select the required pressure measuring unit.
The currently valid unit is backlit on the right next to
the display. To make the settings, press the middle
button û and then search for the parameter EIN via
the right button þ. Then press û again and change
the display value via þ or ÿ . After selection, save
the value with û and EIN appears again in the display.
Then leave the configuration mode. Press ÿ until
ESc appears and then û. The pressure currently
measured is now shown. The correct pressure unit
should be backlit to the right of this figure.
The display range is restricted to ±1999.
Therefore, it may not be possible to select all defined pressure units in some
cases.
5.3.2 Display setting
In DE39 the differential pressure is calculated by
subtracting two relative pressures P1 and P2. In
some cases it is helpful if these values can be
viewed separately. You can select the display value
with the dSP parameter.
shows the relative pressure P1
(Symbol P1 shines)
shows the relative pressure P2
(Symbol P2 shines)
shows the differential pressure at P1-P2
(Symbols P1 and P2 shine).
This value is the default value
5.3.3 Zero-point control and adjustment
Because the differential pressure can be blanketed
by static pressures due to the arrangement of the
two external pressure sensors, the differential pressure when the system is in an idle state is not always zero.
The current differential pressure can be set to zero
via the menu item -0-.
The value saved in this parameter is subtracted
from the measured differential pressure, i.e. the
static differential pressure is eliminated. The display
now shows zero.
5.3.4 Damping and zero-point stabilising
If there are unsteady pressure readings at this point
of time or during operation, you can use parameters
DAM and NP to stabilise the reading (and the output
signal).
The effect of the DAM parameter corresponds to a
capillary throttle. However it only impacts on the
