3.1 Overview of Transmitter
Kobold Smart Pressure Transmitters are microprocessor based “smart” pressure
transmitters. It uses a piezoelectric/ capacitance pickup optimised & accurately
characterised with a patented temperature compensation algorithm for high
precision & long term stable gauge and absolute pressure measurements over a
wide range of operating conditions. PAS is a two wire loop power transmitter and
has a standard 4/20mA output scaled for desired output pressure range. In
addition it also offers digital HART® (digital signal superimposed over the
analogue output) communication that allows transmitting additional digital
parameters/diagnostic information for advanced control systems like DCS, PLC.
This transmitter can be configured remotely via HART® communication through a
HHT (HART® Hand-Held Terminal using DDL or DOF technology) or any HART®
enabled PC configurator. This allows critical variables to be changed, configured
and tested remotely by users. Note: For HART® Communication a minimum
250~500 Ohm loop resistance is mandatory between power supply and
transmitter.
3.2 Software Compatibility
KOBOLD Smart Pressure Transmitters are shipped from the factory with the
most up to date firmware. However as product developments and new features
are released a firmware update becomes necessary to incorporate these new
changes. As such transmitters with older firmware may restrict certain functions
when communicating with an external HHT(Model 275/375HART®
Communicator). There may also be some differences on supported functions on
the local push button menu based on the installed firmware revision of the
transmitter. This manual is based on firmware Revision 6.3. Function deviations
as to firmware Revision are same as in table below:

4.1 Unpacking
When moving the transmitter to the installation site transfer it in its original
packaging. Only unpack the transmitter on site of installation to avoid damage
during transit.
4.2 Models and Specifications Check
The model name and specifications are indicated on the top name plate fixed to
the transmitters. Please check your specification and model supplied for your
installation.
4.3 Storage
The following precautions must be observed when storing the instrument,
especially for a long period.
(1) Select a storage area that meets the following conditions:
a) It is not directly exposed to rain, water, snow or sun light.
b) It is exposed to minimum vibration and shock.
c) If possible, it is advisable to store at normal temperature and humidity
(approx. 25°C, 65% RH).
However, it can also be stored under ambient temperature and relative
humidity within the following published ranges.
Ambient Temperature: -40 ~ 80 °C (with LCD module)*
* General use only. For explosion proof versions follow product certification
requirements
Relative Humidity: 5 % ~ 98 % RH (at 40 °C)
(2) When storing the transmitter, repack with original (or similar) packaging
that was shipped from the factory.
(3) If storing a transmitter that has already been used, thoroughly clean all
wetted parts including diaphragm seals (if installed), process
connections/manifolds in contact with process fluid. In addition, make sure
before storing the transmitter that remote seal (if supplied) assemblies are
securely mounted.
PAS K06/0811 page 9
PAS
4.4 Selecting Installation Locations
The transmitter is designed to withstand severe environmental conditions.
However, to ensure stable and accurate operation for many years, 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 as well as measures to prevent intrusion or stagnation of rainwater
in conduits. Moreover, there should be appropriate ventilation preventing
corrosion by rain gathered on conduit.
(3) Shock and Vibration
Select an installation site suffering minimum shock and vibration (although
the transmitter is designed to be relatively resistant to shock and vibration)
(4) Accessibility
Select location that provides easy access for maintenance & calibration.
(5) Installation of Explosion Protected Transmitters.
Explosion – protected transmitters can be installed in hazardous areas
according to gas types for which they are certified.
4.5 Performing Sensor Zero Trim after Installation
(1) Sensor Zero Trim should be done immediately after transmitter is installed
because zero point can shift due to mounting status of the sensor pick up.
(2) For Sensor Zero Trim, make input pressure of transmitter zero prior to
initiating zero trim calibration. Any Sensor Trim done in field must be carried
out after installation is finalized and with transmitter position fixed. Also if
applying external pressure ensure the display is sufficiently stabilized (after
approximately 10 to 15 seconds) before initiating any Trim function.
(3) There are two recommendations for making input pressure “zero”. One is to
apply a “zero” pressure source (mandatory for absolute pressure models).
The second option is to open equalizing valve of manifolds and venting to
atmospheric pressure (allowed only for Gauge type models).
(4) Sensor Zero Trim can be performed using an external HHC (Hand held
calibrator), PC or PDA configurator, and/ or using Zero/ Span local push
buttons provided on the transmitter.
(5) When using local push buttons please refer to Chapter 4.7 of this manuals for
detailed instructions. If using an external HHT or HART® PC configurator
please refer to the user manuals supplied by the third party supplier.

4.6 Pressure Connections
Instrument installed in the process is under pressure. Never loosen or tighten
the flange bolts as it may cause dangerous spouting of process fluid.
If the accumulated process fluid may be toxic or otherwise harmful, take
approriate care to avoid contact with the body or inhalation of vapors even after
dismounting the instrument from process line for maintenance.
The following precautions must be observed in order to safely operate the
transmitter under pressure.
(1) Never apply a pressure higher than the maximum working pressure specified
on the nameplate.
(2) Use adequate seals for leak tight process connections and use only quality
and standardized parts.
(3) Regularly inspect for signs of leakage and apply corrective actions when
necessary.
Warning
4.7 Waterproofing of Cable Conduit Connections
Apply a non-hardening sealant (silicone or tape, etc.) to the threads to waterproof
the transmitter cable conduit connections.
4.8 Restrictions on Use of Radio Transceivers
Although the transmitter has been designed to resist high frequency electrical
noise, if a radio transceiver is used near the transmitter or its external wiring,
the transmitter may be affected by high frequency noise pickup. To test for
such effects, bring the transceiver in use slowly from a distance of several
meters from the transmitter, and observe the measurement loop for noise
effects. Thereafter, always use the transceiver outside the area affected by
noise.
Warning
PAS K06/0811 page 11
PAS
4.9 Insulation Resistance Test and Dielectric Strength Test
Since the transmitter has undergone insulation resistance and dielectric strength
tests at the factory before shipment, 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 is absolutely 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 500 VDC (100 VDC with an internal lightening
protector) for the insulation resistance test, nor a voltage exceeding 500V
(100V AC with an internal lighting protector) for the dielectric strength test.
(3) Before conducting these tests, disconnect all signal lines from the transmitter
terminals. Perform the tests in the following procedure.
(4) Insulation Resistance test
a) Short-circuit the + and - SUPPLY terminals in the terminal box.
b) Turn OFF the insulation tester. Then connect the insulation tester plus (+)
lead wire to the shorted SUPPLY terminals and the minus (-) lead wire to
the grounding terminal.
c) Turn ON the insulation tester power and measure the insulation
resistance. The voltage should be applied short as possible to verify that
insulation resistance is at least 20M.
d) After completing the test and being very careful not to touch exposed
conductors disconnect the insulation tester and connect a 100kW resister
between the grounding terminal and the short-circuiting SUPPLY
terminals. Leave this resistor connected at least three second to discharge
any static potential. Do not touch the terminal while it is discharging.
(5) Dielectric Strength Test
a) Short-circuit the + and - SUPPLY terminals in the terminal box.
b) Turn OFF the dielectric strength tester. Then connect the tester between th
shorted SUPPLY terminal and the grounding terminal. Be sure to connect
the grounding lead of the dielectric strength tester to the ground terminal.
c) Set the current limit on the dielectric strength tester to 10mA, then turn ON
the power and gradually increase the tester voltage from '0' to the
specified voltage.
d) When the specified voltage is reached, hold it for one minute.
e) After completing this test, slowly decrease the voltage to avoid any voltage
surges.

5.4 Fail Mode Alarm
KOBOLD Smart Pressure Transmitter automatically and continuously performs
self-diagnostic routines. If the self-diagnostic routines detect a failure, the
transmitter drives its output outside of the normal saturation values. The
transmitter will drive its output low (down) or high (up) based on the position of
the failure mode alarm jumper. See Table 5.1 for Output values.
[Table 5-1 Standard Alarm and Saturation Value]
Fail Mode Selection (Fail High/UP or Low/DOWN) can be configured using the
appropriate jumper switch provided on the LCD Module or DIP switches included
on the Main CPU Module. For units provided with a LCD module one can select
desired fail safe mode directly from the jumper switch included in the front display
and this setting overrides the DIP settings on the back-end Main CPU module.
However in case of blind units please select your required DIP switch settings
from the DIP switch labelled (2) marked on the Main CPU board. Recommended
jumper & DIP settings are listed in the table below for ready reference.
