2. Note
Please read these operating instructions before unpacking and putting the unit
into operation. Follow the instruction precisely as described herein.
The devices are only to be used, maintained and serviced by persons familiar
with these operating instructions and in accordance with local regulations
applying to Health & Safety and prevention of accidents.
When used in machines, the measuring unit should be used only when the
machines fulfil the EWG-machine guidelines.
3. Instrument Inspection
Instruments are inspected before shipping and sent out in perfect condition.
Should damage to a device be visible, we recommend a thorough inspection of
the delivery packaging. In case of damage, please inform your parcel service /
forwarding agent immediately, since they are responsible for damages during
transit.
Scope of delivery:
• Pressure Transmitter with Digital Display model: PDA
• Operating Instructions
4. Operating Principle
KOBOLD pressure indicator/transmitter series PDA, are cost effective electronic
pressure indicator/transmitters with digital indication of actual pressure.
An analogue output (0)4 - 20 mA is available for remote transmission of the
measured value. The device is optionally available in addition with a switching
output.
A piezzo resistive ceramic cell is used. The units can be used where high
switching accuracy is needed. Long-term stability, repeatability and the compact,
robust design makes it an ideal unit for use in OEM applications.

5. Regulation Use
Pressure transmitters are used to measure pressure in vessels, hydraulic and
pneumatic plant, refrigeration equipment and so forth.
The devices may only be used for liquids to which the probe and housing
materials are chemically resistant.
6. Mechanical Connection
Pressure taps should be prepared according to the following specifications for the
screw-in holes.
Gaskets to DIN 16 258 or formed gaskets are recommended for sealing British
Standard Parallel Pipe thread (BSPP). The required tightening torque depends on
the material and shape of the gasket used, and on the pressure port in the
pressure sensor. National Pipe Thread (NPT) fittings should be sealed with an
appropriate pipe thread sealant. Exposure to violent shocks and heat radiation
should be avoided.
The permissible service conditions for the pressure sensors should be observed.
When the pressure connection has been made and the power supply connected,
the sensor is ready for operation.

10. Main Menu Items
10.1. Switching point
In menu option, "SPo" the switch point can be set. A value between -199 and 999
can be selected. Additionally, a decimal place can be assigned to this value. The
decimal point can be set after the first or the second place (e.g. 10.0 or 1.00). If
the displayed value exceeds or equals the adjusted switch point and the window
point is not set, then the switch will be active. An active switch is signalled by the
LED being lit.
In case the hysteresis is set to zero, then the switch will be inactive if the value is
lower than the switch point.
10.2. Hysteresis
After setting the switch point, a hysteresis “HYS“ can be entered as a negative
value in the menu. The hysteresis default value is zero. However, this can lead to
an unwished switching behaviour during the operation, if the measuring signal
keeps varying around the switch point or the window point. An increase in
hysteresis will suppress the effect. The hysteresis refers to both the switch point
and the window point (switch point minus hysteresis, window point plus
hysteresis).
Example: Switch point: 100 bar; Hysteresis: -2.5 bar
The switch will become active at and above 100 bar when the
indicated value goes up, and will become inactive at 97.5 bar when the
value goes down.
10.3. Duo point
Apart from the switch point a window point (“duo“) can be defined. It must be
larger than the switch point. With both the "window point" and the "switch point"
set, the measured value can be monitored within a certain range. If a window
point is set, the state of the switch underneath the switch point is similar to the
one above the window point.
If the window point (duo) is smaller or equal to the switch point, an
error message (Er4) is momentarily displayed. Afterwards its value
is deleted and thus its function becomes ineffective (this is valid for
the window point as well as for the switch point setting).
This parameter setting is similar to the switch point setting. The window point is
needed for processes, during which the pressure must be monitored within or
outside a certain range.
The switch changes state when pressure exceeds 100 bar. At this moment, if the
pressure remains between 99 (100-1) bar and 151 (150+1) bar, the switch
remains in the active state (LED on). If the pressure increases crossing 151 bar
limit or (decreases to go below 99 bar limit), the switch will revert to an inactive
state.
10.4. Switching characteristic
The following diagram clarifies the switching behaviour of the pressure switch.
The contact closes (type of contact: N.O.) when exceeding the switch point or
falling short of the window point. It opens again only after exceeding the window
point plus the hysteresis or falling below the switch point minus the hysteresis. An
LED signals the switching status of the pressure switch.

10.5. Time response
Using the menu items “dSE”, “drE” it is possible to set the switch-on-delay
(delay set) and the switch-off-delay (delay reset).
The delay set causes delayed switching of the output if the switching point is
exceeded.
The delay reset causes a delayed resetting of the output when falling short of the
switching point – hysteresis.
The setting range for both parameters is 0.0 ... 99.5 seconds. The step rate is 0.5
seconds.
With these two functions, it is also possible to suppress temporary disturbances.
10.6. Contact-type
In menu option "Con", the transistor switching output function is set. The
switching function changes from
N.O. contact
to
N.C. contact and back.
N.O. contact means: Contact closes on exceeding the switch point.
N.C. contact means: Contact opens on exceeding the switch point.
10.7. Current output
The current output is set in menu items
"S-C" Start current indicated value < > 0(4) mA
"E-C" End current indicated value < > 20 mA
"SCS" Start current selection (0-20 mA or 4-20 mA).
The indicated value at which 0(4) mA is transmitted is entered in menu item Start
current. The indicated value at which 20 mA is transmitted is entered in the menu
item End current.
PDA 01/06 page 15
PDA
10.8. Filter
The filter function "Filt" generates the sliding average value from the measured
values. This acts to dampen the output in a system that has pressure pulsations.
The following values are available (see Section 9 Settings):
1 / 2 / 4 / 8 / 16 / 32 / 64
The filter value determines the dynamic behaviour of the indicated value: high
values mean a slow display with smoother response. The filter is disabled if a
filter value of "1" is selected. In other words, the indicated value is equal to the
unfiltered measured value (no dampening occurs).
The integrated step detector responds to a measured-value step change greater
than approximately 6.25% of the upper range value. When a measured-value
step change is detected, the actual measured value is displayed immediately.
10.9. Start adjustment
The zero-point can be recalibrated when the sensor is in the unpressurised
state. As a security precaution, the operator must press and hold the "" key for
7 seconds. This must be done before he can activate the value setting menu item
"S-A".
10.10. Change Code
Change code "CCo" protects the device against unauthorised changing of the set
device parameters by allowing the operator to enter a secret code. If the code set
is different then 000, the operator must enter the set code “Cod” before entering
the set-up mode.
11. Maintenance
The instrument requires no maintenance when properly used. Deposits, due to
fouled media, can give rise to invalid measured values.
