Component:Display model IRU-1*-*
Manufacturer:WIKA Alexander Wiegand GmbH & Co.
Address:D 63911 Klingenberg / Main
Description
The display can also be manufactured in compliance with the test documents mentioned in the related
test certificate No. BVS PP 99.2082 EG / N1
The intrinsically safe pressure transmitter UniTrans can be used in level control
applications as well as for pressure measurement applications in process industry.
A variety of process connections, measurement ranges, main boards and display
options result in a product for a wide range of applications.
5.1Construction
The UniTrans consists of a pressure sensor, a control interface unit and a housing
cover with optional display. Due to this modular design, different transmitter versions
can be mounted (see “Model Key” on page 151).
Direct Mounted
Processing Unit Housing
5.1.1 Pressure Transducer
The pressure transducer has a piezo-resistive or thinfilm measurement cell depending on the pressure range. The sensors are temperature compensated, and have a
hermetically welded membrane which is "helium" leak-tested. The pressure transducers do not have internal sealing elements.
Pressure transducers further distinguish themselves from one another based on their
pressure ranges and the different materials of wetted parts. Different process connections can be selected to serve a wide range of applications.
Never exceed the overpressure limit of the respective pressure transducer.
The processing unit, which is integrated in the housing contains the terminal compartment and the keypad used for programming the transmitter. The four keys must be
activated (unlocked) before use. During normal operation the keypad is locked to protect data and functions previously entered. The keypad is automatically locked when
no key is hit for 10 minutes. The processing unit converts the digitalized signal from
the measuring unit into a standard 4...20 mA current signal.
Processing Unit
5.1.3 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. Measurements
over 9999 can not be correctly displayed. Please note this when choosing the unit
(e.g. 9999 Pascal = 0,09999 bar). 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 guided, clear-text prompts.
Transmitters with displays offer a larger number of programming and processing options. These options include alarm status, damping, signal inversion, tank linearization and diagnostic messages.
Display units can be easily upgraded (see chapter 7.2).
5.2Function
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 extended functions such as inversion, damping, alarm status and linearization.

The UniTrans is primarily used to monitor the pressure in pipes, technical equipment
and tanks. Depending on the pressure range pressures between 20 mbar up to 4000
bar can be measured. 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 UniTrans is also used for hydrostatic pressure measurement within liquid filled
pipes and containers.

Please observe local installation regulations (Germany: VDE-Standard).
The terminal voltage should not exceed 30 V.
The transmitter is only to be connected to approved intrinsically safe
measuring instruments.
The supply voltage is between 12 and 30 V. The power supply and the output signal
are transmitted via a two-wire cable (max. 12 mm outer diameter, max. 14 AWG) and
connected in accordance with the pin configuration.
When selecting a cable make sure that it complies with the capacity and
inductivity values as well as the voltage resistance values
Warning
(see “Technical Data” on page 103).
The given operating temperatures must not be exceeded.
For the connection of the cable the leads must be covered by end bushings. The cable must not be damaged.
Supply voltage can be supplied by a power unit, a transmitter power supply or by
means of a PLC connection.
It is suggested to use a model with integrated lightning protection for preventing
damage due to voltage peaks.
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 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 pressure)
• Integration time
• Mounting correction of the sensor (beginning with software version 1.05)
• 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.

8.3.2 Span Calibration
Calibration of the measurement range (span).
Make sure that the pressure to be used as the span end-point (P 100 %) is
present at the transmitter diaphragm. The measuring range between zero
and end value of span is saved as span.
CalibrationValue
Calibrationofspan
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.
A mounting correction must not be carried out when making an adjustment
with pressure (wet adjustment). Otherwise, the mounting correction must
be carried out before saving the zero point and the end value of span.
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:
8.4.1 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.
This produces the calculated current (value I
and used to programm the zero point (0%).
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.
• Determine the hydrostatic pressure of the liquid’s surface, which corresponds to the
span end-point.
• Calculate the difference of the pressure value between span end-point and zero
point and divide this difference by the nominal pressure range of the sensor.
• Multiply this proportion by 16 mA and add 4 mA to the result.
This produces the calculated current (value I
), which is entered in the transmitter
calc
and used to program the span end-point (100%).
The measurement range between zero point and span end-point will be stored as
span.
A pressure transmitter with 0 ... 400 mbar (nominal pressure) is to be programmed.
The liquid’s surface (with a density of 1) is 1 m above the diaphragm at the zero point.
The maximum (span end-point) should be 3 m. The measuring range (span) is 200
mbar.
This means that the output must be set to 12 mA during programming.

A change in the zero point has no effect on the adjusted span.
However, if the span end-point is higher than the peak value of the
transmitter’s nominal pressure range, then the 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 transmitter’s nominal
pressure range.
A test / correction of the zero point is suggested after adjusting the
span in order to maintain optimum accuracy.
Important
A mounting correction should be carried out before or after making an
adjustment without pressure (dry adjustment) (see 8.4.3). The transmitter must therefore be placed in the reference position for the measurement (installation site) without pressure on the diaphragm.

Calibrated special measurement ranges i. e. 4 bar on a 6 bar transmitter can be adjusted by factory pre-setting. A reset to default will reset
the sensor back to its nominal range (i. e. 6 bar). The factory pre-setting
gets lost.
The transmitter can be programmed before or after installation.
The keypad is activated and the device can be programmed by simultaneously pressing the "esc" and "ok" keys (for 2 sec.). This method is used to access the main
menus. Each main menu has one or more sub-menus and each sub-menu, may have
its own sub-menus.
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.
A change in the starting measurement (zero point) has no effect on the
measurement span. Likewise, a change in the span has no effect on the
starting measurement.
An error signal occurs when the zero point or span settings fall outside of
the sensor’s nominal pressure range during calibration with pressure.
Nothing is saved.

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 pressure (dry adjustment) (see 8.4.3). 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

When height is displayed or calibrated (e. g. mm, m, feet, inch) the density value of the respective medium must be entered in order to calculate the correct filling level (see also chapter 10.2.6).
The calibration with pressure is only possible when the cyclic measurement is activated.
Set zero:
Before starting the calibration make sure that the pressure applied to the transmitter
has the value you want to set as zero point (P 0 %).
Set span:
Make sure that the pressure applied to the transmitter has the value you want to set
as upper end of span (P 100 %). The measuring range between zero point and upper
end of span will be saved as span.
In general the preset span is not affected when the zero point is changed. When,
however, the zero point is increased in a way that the upper end of span would reach
beyond the maximum nominal pressure of the transmitter, this maximum nominal
pressure value is defined as new upper end of span and the span is reduced
respectively. A modification of the span settings does not affect the zero point.
During a calibration under pressure two pressure values are set respectively for zero
and upper end point of span. These values, which must lie within the nominal
pressure range of the transmitter are respectively assigned to an output current
signal. When the applied pressure lies beyond the nominal pressure range of the
transmitter an error message is displayed. In this case the value is not saved.
Cyclic measurement (measured value):
The actual measured value for the calibration under pressure is displayed
(automatic actualisation).
• Here a pressure value within the nominal pressure range of the transmitter must be
entered.
Span:
• Here a pressure value for the span within the nominal pressure range of the trans-
mitter must be entered.
When calibrating without pressure (dry calibration), a sensor mounting
correction should be carried out before or after the calibration (see also
chapter 10.2.7 ). For this, the sensor must be placed in the reference
position for the measurement (mounting position) and must not be
under pressure.
When calibrating with pressure (wet calibration), the mounting correction is unnecessary, or it must be carried out before the zero point and
end of span are saved.
An average value of the pressure values applied to the sensor is calculated over the
predefined integration time. The following integration times can be set:
• 0, 1, 5, 20 and 40 s.
Output inversion:
The output signal can be inverted or not inverted.
• inverted 20 ... 4 mA
• not inverted 4 ... 20 mA

Output current limits:
Here the range of output current is set.
• 3.8 ... 20.5 mA
When the applied pressure rises beyond the nominal range the current value ends
at the set limit value.
• 4 ... 20 mA
When the applied pressure rises beyond the nominal range and the alarm goes off
a reset must be carried out, or the power supply must be cut

The consequence of a correction or modification of the density value is that also the
respective values of the upper end of span are changed for the related measuring values (mm, m, inch, feet). In some cases after a media change (change of density) the
upper end of span must be recalibrated.

13.4 Glossary
AdjustmentAllocation of the signal output range (4 ... 20 mA) to the desired
pressure measurement range or level measurement range.
IntegrationAlso damping: 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. press. rangeThe operating pressure range for which the sensor is designed
Zero pointStart of 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 correlations based on varying container designs
For example, a non-linear correlation exists between the filling
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).
DefaultsThe sensor parameters are programmed by the manufacturer
