MELT PRESSURE TRANSMITTERS
ME SERIES PERFORMANCE LEVEL ‘c’
Output 4...20mA
The ME Performance Level ‘c’ series of Gefran are
pressure transmitters for using in high temperature environment.
The main characteristic of this series is the capability to
read temperature of the media up to 400°C.
The constructive principle is based on the hydraulic trasmission of the pressure.
The fluid-filled system assures the temperature stability.
The phisical measure is transformed in a electrical measure by means of the strain-gauge technology.
MAIN FEATURES
• Pressure ranges from:
0-17 to 0-2000 bar / 0-250 to 0-30000 psi
• Accuracy: < ±0.25% FSO (H); < ±0.5% FSO (M)
•Fluid-filled system for temperature stability
•Mercury filling volume:
ME0 (30mm3); ME1, ME2, ME3 (40mm3)
•1/2-20UNF, M18x1.5 standard threads; other types avai-
lable on request
• Autozero function on board / external option
• Standard diaphragm is 15-5 PH stainless steel with
GTP+ coating
• 17-7 PH corrugated diaphragm with GTP+ coating for
ranges below 100 bar-1500 psi
GTP+ (advanced protection)
Coating with high resistance against corrosion, abrasion
and high temperature
AUTOZERO FUNCTION
All signal variations in the absence of pressure can be eliminated by using the Autozero function.
This function is activated by closing a magnetic contact
located on the transmitter housing.
The procedure is permitted only with pressure at zero.

NAMUR COMPLIANCE
The sensors are tested according to Namur NE21 recommendations.
The same compatibility is valid for the NE43 Namur recommendation
with the following sensor behaviour in case of breakdown:
· Cut cable: breakdown information as the signal is <3,6mA
· Device not connected: breakdown information as the signal is <3,6mA
· Broken power-supply: breakdown information as the signal is <3,6mA
or in case of performance problems:
· most common failures on primary sensors: the signal goes to>21mA
Note: in all the remaining situations, the output signal is always included between 3,6 and 21mA.
Recommendation: the error level set by the customer
(e.g. maximum pressure value) has to be inside the
nominal range.
AUTOZERO FUNCTION
LOAD DIAGRAM
The diagram shows the optimum ratio between load and power supply
for transmitters with 4…20mA output.
For correct function, use a combination of load resistance and voltage
that falls within the two lines in the graph above.
The Autozero function is activated through a
magnetic contact (external magnet supplied
with the sensor).
See the manual for a complete Autozero function explanation.
