2 Product Description

This section covers the reference and specification data, as well as ordering information.

2.1 Introduction

Tek-Bar 3120B single crystal silicon pressure transmitter utilizes world’s leading mono crystal silicon pressure sensor technology and outstanding encapsulation technology. It can handle the most rigorous industrial applications and it can cope up with extreme chemical, mechanical and electrical working conditions. Highly accurate and reliable measurement of level, density and pressure of liquid, gases or steam is possible with Tek-Bar 3120B. The performance accuracy is up to 0.075% of URL. This high-performance pressure transmitter meticulously designed by Tek-Trol supports HART communication protocol and IP66 waterproof protection. It is well equipped with several features that facilitate easy installation, start-up and minimum maintenance.

2.2 Measurement Principle

The Tek-Bar 3120B works on the principle of mono silicon technology. The pressure sensor
of the transmitter is located on the top of the metal body, away from the service fluid. This
enables mechanical and thermal isolation of the sensor from the fluid in service.
When pressure is applied on the diaphragm and the silicon piezoelectric sensor, they
become stressed and undergo a change in voltage resistance. This change in resistance is
directly proportional to the applied pressure, which is transferred to the transmitter body
using lead wires.
Built on semiconductor technology, the resistance change (piezoelectric effect) is notably higher than exhibited in standard strain gauges. Therefore, the sensitivity of mono­crystalline sensors is higher than the sensitivity of most other types.

www.GlobalTestSupply.com
Page 17

3.4 Field Adjustment

Perform field adjustments only after installing the transmitter at its final work location otherwise the set parameters may drift due to jerks while transporting or handling.

Zero Point Adjustment

• For sensor zero trim, ensure that the vessel is empty and there is no input medium
pressure on the diaphragm. The vessel should be applied a normal atmospheric pressure. If applying external pressure to the transmitter make sure that the display is sufficiently stabilized (after approximately 10 to 15 seconds), before initiating any trim function.
• There are 3 ways of making input pressure “Zero”.
➢ Apply a “Zero” pressure source (mandatory for absolute pressure models) ➢ Apply equal pressure on both HP and LP ports (DP models only) ➢ Open equalizing valve of manifolds installed and venting to atmospheric
pressure (applicable for Gauge & DP type models only)
• Sensor zero trim can be performed using an external HHC (Handheld calibrator), PC
or PDA configurator, and/or using Zero/Span local push buttons provided on the transmitter.
• Using local push buttons set PV=0, refer to section 5.2.1 of this manual for detailed
instructions. If using an external HHT or HART® PC configurator, refer to the user manual supplied by the third-party supplier.

Full Span Adjustment

• For full span adjustment, ensure that the vessel is filled with process medium to the
maximum level.
• Maintain static pressure value within the minimum and maximum pressure range
• Using local push buttons set output for lower and upper limit of the full scale i.e.
4mA and 20mA, refer to section 5.2 of this manual for detailed key operations.
The device is now ready for the real-time process measurement.

3.5 Product Usage

WARNING
Explosion can result into a serious injury or death.
• Do not remove the transmitter cover in explosive environments when the
circuit is live.
• After disconnecting power wait for a minute to allow the circuit and enclosure
to cool down before opening.
• Avoid direct contact with the leads and terminals. High voltage on leads can
cause electrical shock.
• Ensure that the transmitter casings are sealed when the assembly is in
operating condition.
• Only trained and qualified personnel may undertake start-up and maintenance
activities.

6 Maintenance

This section covers maintenance techniques and guidelines.

6.1 Hardware Maintenance

Perform maintenance task at regular intervals. Set the maintenance schedule in advance and maintain a logbook to note maintenance activity details. Maintenance schedule depends on the system, installation conditions, working medium and rigorousness of the operation. Consider the system downtime when maintenance cycle is running. Ensure that it does not affect the system performance.
Maintenance majorly involves sensor cleaning and verifying connections.

Test Terminal

Test Terminal is marked as TEST on the terminal block. Connect TEST and negative terminal to the test terminal. Ensure that the voltage across the receptacles is kept below the diode threshold voltage so that no current passes through the diode. Make sure that the resistance of the test connection does not exceed 10 ohms while connecting an indicating meter or while taking the test readings. Note that a resistance of 30 ohms can cause an error of approximately 10% of actual value.

Disassembling the Electronics Housing

The transmitter assembly comes in dual-compartment housing; one contains the electronic module, and the other contains all wiring terminals and the communication receptacles. The separate compartment of wiring terminals ensures hassle free handling while running a routine maintenance cycle.

External Cleaning

• Use washing agent that will not damage the instruments.
• Protect the pressure sensing diaphragm from mechanical damage caused by sharp
objects or external pressure.
• Mechanical cleaning of the diaphragm is strictly prohibited.
• Do not point the nozzles to the diaphragm when cleaning by pressure washer.

Depot Repair

Execute following steps before sending the device for depot repair:
• Disconnect the transmitter carefully. Preserve all accessories and cables for
reassembling.
• Remove the harmful residues such as inflammable, poisonous, cancer genic and
radioactive substances.
• Repack the device in original packaging material provided at the time of delivery
and send for repair.

Discard Disposal

It is recommended to pass the instrument to specialized recycling companies rather than local recycling points.

7 Troubleshooting

This section provides troubleshooting techniques for most common operating problems.
When device malfunction is suspected despite the absence of any diagnostic messages on the HHT, inspect following points.
• If measurement signal appears irregular, check whether the process pressure is
within the working range, or the abnormality lies in the measuring system, installation environment or pressure transmitter. Once diagnosed take corresponding measures.
• If no signal output or unchanged output signal on corresponding process pressure
changes is observed, then check the power supply polarity, open or short circuit. Check the parameters like voltage, power and load resistance meet the normal working requirements. Also, ensure there is no leakage or pressure-impulse line blockage and shut-off valve is closed.
• If the output signal is large or outside the normal range, check whether the supply
voltage, power consumption, and load resistance meet the normal working requirements of pressure transmitters. Verify measuring range settings and adjust the device calibration. Also, ensure there is no leakage, pressure-impulse line blockage or rapid temperature fluctuations in the installation and shut-off valve is closed.
