Pressure ratings
Table 5 lists maximum working pressure for a given transmitter Upper Range Limit (URL). The maximum
allowable working pressure (MAWP) is the pressure used for the approval body safety calculations

Note: Maximum Allowable Working Pressure (MAWP) may vary with materials of construction and process
temperature. For more specific information, refer to the appropriate Specification and Model Selection
Guide or transmitter nameplate
Note: To convert bar values to kilopascals (kPa), multiply by 100.
For example, 3.5 bar equals 350 kPa.
Considerations for HART communicator
Guidelines
When using the communicator to communicate with the transmitter:
•
Be sure the power supply voltage does not exceed 42 Vdc (30 Vdc for intrinsically safe loops).
•
Be sure there is at least 250 ohms of resistance between the communicator and the power supply for
proper communication.
•
Refer to communicator product manual for such information as operating limits.
Considerations for Local Smart Meter Option
If your transmitter is to be installed and operated with one of the integral smart meter options, please note
the Smart meter specifications and operating conditions for the meter located in Appendix A of this
manual.
