INSTALLATION OF PRESSURE TRANSMITTERS

PX293 Series

The PX293 Series tr ansmitters meas ure low dif ferential press ures of gases or liquids compat ible
with 316 type stainless steel. The normal oper ating t emperature range is from 0°C to 50°C (32°F
to 122°F), and the normal humidity range from 10% to 90% R.H.

Remove the cover to gain access to the two mounting holes. These holes are suitable for #8
(4mm) max. screws.

Connections to the fluid lines are by means of 1/8-28 Female NPT ports.
Make sure the operating static pressure does not exceed the values shown in the table below.

The maximum safe momentary overpressure at any port should not exceed 2x the maximum
operating static pressure

Electrical connections are by means of pluggable terminal strips, rated at 250 Vac, with a wire
range from 14 to 26 AWG.

Zero and Span Adjustment

The transmitter may be re-zeroed and re-spanned if a permanent drift is noted. Vent both
pressure ports to atmosphere before recalibrating the transmitter,

A. Voltage Output Units (PX293-XX XXD5V): Connect a voltmeter across the signal terminals

(see Figure 1 or Figure 2, respectively), and adjust the ZERO po-tentiometer R2 until the
voltage reads 0.01V. Nex t, apply the full rat ed differential pr essure to the high pressure port
and adjust the SPAN potentiometer R1 until the output reading is 5.00V.

B. Current Output Units (PX293-XXXXDI): Connect an ammeter in the loop (see Figure 3 or

Figure 4, respectively), and adjust the ZERO potentiometer R2 until the ammeter reads

4.00mA. Next, apply the full rated differential pr essure to the high press ure port and adjust
the SPAN potentiometer R1 until the output re ad ing is 20.00 mA .

Re-spanning the transmitter requires a source of pressure of satisfactory accuracy.
Check the zero reading again for accuracy, and repeat the above steps if necessary.
Potentiometer R3 should not normally be adjusted unless one of the pressure sensors has been
replaced and the span accuracy of the instrument is affected by changes in the static pressure.

VOLTAGE OUTPUT UNITS

(PX293-XXXXD5V)

CURRENT OUTPUT UNITS

(PX293-XXXXDI)

This transmitter is powered by an external
power supply between 11 and 32Vdc
(14Vdc minimum for 10 V ou tp ut), th e cur r ent
drawn is less than 10mA.

The output voltage is limited to about 5.3V
for the 0-5V transmitter and about 10.6V for
the 0-10V transmitter if the differential
pressure exceeds the range of the
transmitter. Short-circuiting the signal
terminals will not damage the transmitter.
Figure 1 shows typical transmitter wiring

.

This is a 2-wire, 4-20 mA pressure trans­mitter which requires a n external DC power
supply of 11 to 32 Vdc to power the loop.
The supply voltage should not exceed 32
Vdc (see Figure 2).

Figure 2

The following graph (s ee Fig ur e 3) illustrates
the maximum wire and receiver resistances
as a function of supply voltage. For
example: the total loop resistance should not
exceed 650 Ohms for a typical supply
voltage of 24 Vdc

.

Figure 1

CAUTION: REVERSAL OF THE “VDC IN”

AND “SIGNAL OUT” MAY RESULT IN

PERMANENT DAMAGE TO THE

TRANSMITTER.

Figure 3

The standard transmi tter is curr ent-limit ed t o
about 3.85 mA at the low end and 25 mA at
the high end. An interna l diode protects the
transmitter against r eversal of po larity (t here
is no current flowing t hrough the loop if the
leads are reversed).
