2Product Description
The pressure transmitter can be used in level control as well as pressure measurement in process applications. A variety of process connections, measurement ranges,
electronic interfaces and display options offer a product for a wide range of applications.
2.1Construction
The Digitrans consists of a pressure sensor, a control interface unit and a housing
cover with optional display. Different modular configurations are available allowing a
variety of designs.
Direct Mounted
2.1.1 Pressure
The pressure transducer has a piezo-resistive or thinfilm measurement cell depending on the pressure range. The sensors are temperature compensated, and have a
fully welded membrane which is "helium" leak-tested. Pressur e transducers do not
have internal seals.
Pressure transducers further distinguish themselves from one another based on their
ranges and the types of media-touching materials. Different versions of process connec
2.1.2 Control Interface Unit
The control interface unit contains the terminal compartment and the keypad used in
programming the device. The four keys must be active (unlocked) before use. The
keypad is locked during normal operation to protect data and functions previously entered. The keypad automatically locks after 10 minutes of disuse. The control interface converts the sensor’s digital signal into

The measured-value indicator has four digits (in a 7-segment display) + symbols. Below it, is line 1 (16-segment display) used to display error codes and the signal’s unit
of measure. The unit of measure can be selected by the operator.
Additional information is displayed in lines 2 and 3 (16-segment display). The operator
can enter commands in the programming mode on the display unit by means of menu
driven, clear
-text prompts.
Devices with displays clearly offer a higher number of programming and control interface options. These options include alarm status, dampening, signal inversion, tank
linearization and diagnostic messages.
Display units can be easily upgraded (see Section 4.2).

Page 6
2.2Function
The mode of operation for signal conversion is the same for all versions. The pressure
transducer converts the existing pressure into an electrical signal. Microelectronics
further process the input signal and produce a proportional 4-20 mA standard signal.
The display-version allows programming (parameterization) and the display of expanded functions such as inversion, dampening, alarm status and linearization.

2.3Installation Examples
The Digitrans is primarily used to detect the pressure in pipes, plants and tanks.
The pressure is measured using absolute (against a vacuum) or relative (against
external or air pressure) measurement depending on the type of sensor selected.
The Digitrans is also used for hydrostatic pressure measurement of liquids in tanks.

5.1Preparation
This unit can be programmed before or after installation.
• Connect an ampere meter to the device’s output (between terminals I and L+).
• Note that after each action, a brief oscillation/deflection of 20 mA occurs (verification of a successful action).
The following device functions can be programmed without a display unit:
• Zero point adjustment with a full or empty container (with/without pressure)
• Span adjustment with a full or empty container (with/without press
• Integration time
• Reset to manufacturer’s defaults
An error signal is caused by a current surge (21 mA or 3.6 mA; 5 sec) when
the zero point or span setting fall outside of the sensor’s nominal pressure
range during adjustments with existing pressure. No values are stored.
The keypad becomes inactive after 10 min. of disuse. All settings will default to previously stored values. Only settings that have been confirmed
with the "OK" function are stored.

Calibration of span
A change in the zero point has no effect on the calibrated span.
However, if the span end-point is higher than the peak value of the sensor’s nominal pressure range, then span end-point is fixed at this peak value and the span is reduced accordingly.
A change in the span setting has no effect on the zero point. The zero point
and span end-point must fall within the sensor’s nominal pressure range.

5.4Calibration without Pressure
Determine the current reference values for the zero point and the span to be entered
in the transmitter before calibration. This is done as follows:
5.4.1 Zero Point Calibration
• Determine the hydrostatic pressure of the liquid’s surface that meets the zero point.
• Adjust this pressure in proportion to the sensor’s nominal pressure range.
• Multiply this proportion by 16 mA and add 4 mA to the result.

Example:
A pressure transducer with 0 ... 400 mbar (nominal pressure) needs to be programmed.The liquid’s surface (with a density of 1) is 1 m above the diaphragm at the
zero point producing a pressure of 100 mbar.
This means that the device’s current value must be set to 8 mA when performing a dry

A single pressure value is set for the zero point or the span end-point
within the sensor’s nominal pressure range, and assigned to the associated output current signal when making adjustments with existing pressure. An error signal occurs when the existing pressure lies outside of
the sensor’s nominal pressure range. The value is not saved in this
case.
A mounting correction should be performed before or after making an
adjustment without pr
essure (dry adjustment) (see 6.5.4). The sensor
must therefore be placed in the reference position for the measurement
(installation site) without pressure on the diaphragm.

A mounting correction is unnecessary when making an adjustment with
pressure (wet adjustment). Otherwise, the mounting correction must be
performed before saving the zero point and span end- point.
A test / correction of the zero point is suggested after adjusting the
span in order to maintain optimum accuracy.

9.3Glossary
AdjustmentAllocation of the signal output range (4 ... 20 mA) to the desired
pressure measurement range or level measurement range.
IntegrationAlso dampening: timely communication of the measurement
signal; rise time of the current output signal after a signal surge
InversionConversion of the output signal from 4 ... 20 mA to 20 ... 4 mA
Nom. pressure range The operating pressure range for which the sensor was de-
signed
Zero pointStart o
f the pressure measurement range
ParameterizationAlso configuration: programming of the relevant parameters
and the pressure measurement range specific to the application
and measurement location.
SpanThe programmed pressure measurement range
Span end pointThe highest pressure value of the programmed measurement
span (end-point of the span)
Tank linearizationDetermination of approximate volume/pressure ratio values
with non-linear correlatio
ns based on varying container designs
For example, a non-linear correlation exists between the fill level and the volume in spherical containers. During linearization,
the non-linear volume is assigned the 4 ... 20 mA output signal
from a table of values (proximity process by means of up to 32
support points).
