Observe the national safety and accident prevention regulations, as well as
the following safety instructions in this operating manual when working with
the hydrostatic pressure transducer.
Any operation not described in the following instructions should not be
used.
If a fault cannot be corrected, the device should be removed from operation
and disposed of to prevent it’s reinstallation.
Repairs should only be performed by the manufacturer. All other repairs or
device modifications are unauthorized.
Other important safety guidelines are located in the individual sections of
this instruction manual.
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.

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

2.1.3 Display Unit
CALIBRATION
RANGE
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).

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.
