PRESSURE TRANSMITTER SX SERIES

Read this instruction manual carefully before installing and commissioning the unit. Keep it in a safe place, where it is
accessible to users at any time.

The safety of any instrument results from the careful selection of the model and installation in the system, as well as from
compliance with the maintenance procedures drawn up by the manufacturer. The persons tasked with the selection, installation
and maintenance must be able to recognise the conditions that have a negative impact on the instrument's ability to perform its
function and which may lead to premature breakage or failure. Therefore, qualified, trained technicians are to be employed for
carrying out the procedures laid down in the plant regulations.
Incorrect use may result in damage to the instrument, and possibly cause breakage or damage to personnel or the plant.
In order to correctly select the functional and constructive characteristics of the instruments, we recommend consulting the most
up-to-date version of the catalogue data sheets, available on-line at the websi te www.nuovafima.com
The user is entirely responsible for ensuring correct installation and maintenance.

CEI EN 60079-26 UNI EN 1127-1

The pressure transmitter is used to transform an input pressure into an electrical 4 - 20 mA output signal.
The electrical signal changes in proportion to the input pressure applied.

The SX series of pressure transmitters are used for measuring the pressure of liquid and gas fluids, and are su it abl e fo r
use in places in which there is a risk of explosion. Ambient and process temperatures must be within the limits stated
on the tag.

8.1.7 Safety instructions

8.1.8 Commissioning

PRESSURE TRANSMITTER SX SERIES

The transmitter’s metal case must always be connected to the earth using the threaded connector for the process, in order to
protect it against fluctuations due to electromagnetic fields and electrostatic charges. If this cannot be done, connect the
transmitter to earth using the connector and the shield on the cable.

The transmitter must be connected to an Associated piece of Equipment (Diode safety barrier or Galvanic insulator) with an [Ex
ia] or [Ex ib] execution, complying with the maximum voltage (Ui), current (Ii), and power (Pi), and taking into consideration
the internal capacity (Ci) and inductance (Li) values, indicated in the “Nominal Characteristics”. If the barrier has an “ib”
protection level, the entire system should be at an “ib” level suitable only for not inflammable fluids.
The transmitters must be installed in compliance with the European Standard CEI EN 60079-14 (current edition) and
maintenance operations must be carried out according to the requirements of the European Standard CEI EN 60079-17 (current
edition); Every Intrinsic Safety transmitter must be included in the Document Describing the System (CEI EN 60079-14 and CEI
EN 60079-25).

Before an electrical safety structure is commissioned within a plant or a system, the user must check that it complies with the
design data and is installed correctly. Check that the Associated Equipment called for in the relevant Document Describing the
System is connected to each transmitter.
Tighten the threaded portion of the transmitter, applying a torque (max 50 Nm) using a suitable spanner on the hexagonal part of
the process connector, without applying force to the casing with your hands or pipe wrench. Remove the connector as shown in
figure 1 and connect the cable as shown in figure 2. Refit the connector, complete with all its gaskets, to guarantee the declared
IP protection level, and fix it to the transmitter.

8.1.9 Resetting and maintenance

S=span

Z=zero

PRESSURE TRANSMITTER SX SERIES

The IP grade according to standard CEI EN 60529 is guaranteed only if the female connector equipped with a connection
cable is mounted on the instrument and all the other components are assembled correctly.

Figure 1 - Exploded view of the connector Figure 2 - Connecting the wires

For the versions available, the zero and the scale span can be adjusted as follows:

- Removing the connector (see figure 1)

- Setting the zero (Z)

- Setting the span (S)

Figura 3 - Setting

Maintenance operations are to be entrusted to duly qualified personnel that are trained on the specific characteristics of the
equipment and the Intrinsic safety technique, and they are to comply fully with the provisions of the CEI EN 60079-17 European
standard (current edition).
The SX series of transmitters is “maintenance free”. The resetting cycle depend s on the appli cation they are used for.
Suggested setting frequency: 1 year. If a fault occurs, contact NUOVA FIMA S.r.l.
Using transmitters that have been subjected to work not explicitly authorised by NUOVA FIMA S.r.l. relieves the Company of
any and all responsibility and causes the contractual guarantee to become null and void.
