1 General Safety Instructions
All pressure connections may only be opened after the system is
without pressure!
Observe the national regulations about safety and accident prevention , as
well as the safety instructions in this operating manual when operating the
pressure transmitter.
Any operation not described in the following instructions must not be carried out.
If a failure cannot be repaired, the transmitter must be switched off. The
operator must then make sure that it is only switched on again after the
failure has been repaired.
Prior to installing, starting and operating a pressure measuring instrument,
the user must ensure that the appropriate instrument has been selected
with regard to scale range and performance and that the wetted parts
material is suitable for the specific measuring conditions of the respective
application.
Serious injuries and/or damage can occur should the relevant regulations
not be observed.
Dangerous pressure media such as oxygen, acetylene, flammable gases
or liquids and toxic gases or liquids as well as instruments for refrigeration
plants or compressors etc. require attention above the standard regulations. Here the specific safety codes or regulations must be considered.
Ramaining pressure medium contained in the pressure element may be
hazardous or toxic. This should be considered when handling and storing
the removed pressure measuring instrument.
Repairs should only be carried out by the manufacturer. All other repairs or
modifications of the transmitter are unauthorized.
Other important safety guidelines can be found in the different sections of
this instruction manual.

2 Product Description
The UniTrans pressure transmitter can be used in level control applications as well as
for pressure measurement applications in process industr
. A variety of process con-
nections, measurement ran
es, main boards and display options result in a product
e of applications.
2.1 Construction
The UniTrans consists of a pressure sensor, a control interface unit and a housin
cover with optional displa
. Due to this modular design, different transmitter versions
can be mounted (see “Model Ke
2.1.1 Pressure Transducer
The pressure transducer has a piezo-resistive or thinfilm measurement cell dependin
on the pressure range. The sensors are temperature compensated, and have a
welded membrane which is "helium" leak-tested. The pressure trans-
ducers do not have internal sealin
elements.
Pressure transducers further distin
uish themselves from one another based on their
pressure ran
es and the different materials of wetted parts. Different process
connections can be selected to serve a wide ran
e of applications.
Never exceed the overpressure limit of the respective pressure transducer.

2.1.2 Processing Unit
The processin
unit, which is integrated in the housing contains the terminal compart-
pad used for programming the transmitter. The four keys must be
activated (unlocked) before use. Durin
normal operation the keypad is locked to pro-
tect data and functions previousl
entered. The keypad is automatically locked when
is hit for 10 minutes. The processing unit converts the digitalized signal from
unit into a standard 4...20 mA current signal.
2.1.3 Display Unit
The indicator has four di
its (7-segment display) + symbols. Below it, line 1 (16-seg-
) is used to display error codes and the signal’s unit of measure. The unit
of measure can be selected b
the operator. Measurements over 9999 can not be cor-
rectl
displayed. Please note this when choosing the unit (e.g. 9999 Pascal = 0,09999
bar). Additional information is displa
ed in lines 2 and 3 (16-segment display). The
operator can enter commands in the pro
ramming mode on the display unit by means
uided, clear-text prompts.

Transmitters with displays offer a larger number of programming and processing options. These options include alarm status, dampin
, signal inversion, tank lineariza-
2.2 Function
The mode of operation for si
nal conversion works in the same way for all versions.
The pressure transducer converts the existin
pressure into an electrical signal. Mi-
croelectronics further process the input si
nal and produce a proportional 4-20 mA
standard si
-version allows programming (parameterization) and the display of ex-
tended functions such as inversion, dampin
, alarm status and linearization.
2.2.1 Functions of Transmitters without Displays
• Calibration of zero and span under pressure (see 5.3)
• Calibration of zero and span without pressure (dr
adjustment) (see 5.4)
• Settin

• Reset to manufacturer’s default values (see 5.6)
• Mountin

2.2.2 Functions of Transmitters with Displays
• Settable units of measurement (mbar, bar, psi, mA, %, m, mm WS) (see 6.5.1)
• Temperature and Min/Max values shown in displa
(see 6.5.1)
• Nominal pressure ran

• Zero and span calibration (with/without pressure) (see 6.5.2)
• Settin
