Supply Current Power supply must be capable of providing 22 mA current for the IDP10-A and 3 mA current for the IDP10-V. Ripple of up to 2 V pp (50/60/100/120 Hz) is tolerable, but instantaneous voltage must remain within specified range.
Test Points The banana plug receptacles (designated CAL) can be used to check transmitter output of the IDP10-A. Measurements should be 100 to 500 mV dc for 0 to 100% transmitter output. Refer to Figure 9. HHT Terminals As the top terminal is blocked, this transmitter does not communicate with the HHT, PC10, PC20, HART Communicator, or IFDC.
1. These transmitters have been designed to meet the electrical safety description listed in Table 1. For detailed information or status of testing laboratory approvals and certifications, contact Viatran. 2. Wiring restrictions required to maintain electrical certification of the transmitter are provided in the “Transmitter Wiring”...
2. Installation The following material provides information and procedures for installing the IDP10-A and IDP10-V Differential Pressure Cell Transmitter. CAUTION To avoid damage to the transmitter sensor, do not use any impact devices, such as an impact wrench or stamping device, on the transmitter.
Process-Mounted Transmitter Figure 3 shows the transmitter mounted to and supported by the process piping. Pipe or Surface Mounted Transmitter To mount the transmitter to a pipe or surface, use the Optional Mounting Set (Model Code Option -M). Referring to Figure 4, secure the mounting bracket to the transmitter using the two screws pro- vided.
4. For gas flow without a seal liquid, the transmitter should be mounted above the pressure connections at the pipe; for gas flow with a seal liquid, the transmitter should be mounted below the pressure connections. 5. Viatran recommends the use of snubbers in installations prone to high levels of flow pulsations. [15]...
Filling System with Seal Liquid If the process fluid being measured must not come in contact with the transmitter, the transmitter lines must be filled with a suitable seal liquid. The procedure to do this is as follows: 1. If the transmitter is in service, follow the procedure for “Taking the Transmitter Out of Operation”...
Electronic housing cover locks, shown in Figure 8, are provided as standard with certain agency certifications and as part of the Custody Transfer Lock and Seal option. Transmitter Wiring for IDP10-A (4-20 mA Output Signal) The installation and wiring of your transmitter must conform to local code requirements.
NOTE Viatran recommends the use of transient/surge protection in installations prone to high levels of electrical transients and surges. Accessing Transmitter Field Terminals For access to the field terminals, thread the cover lock (if present) into the housing to clear the threaded cover and remove the cover from the field terminals compartment as shown in Figure 8.
Wiring the Transmitter to a Control Loop When wiring your transmitter, the supply voltage and loop load must be within specified limits. The supply voltage vs. the output load relationship is shown in Figure 10. Any combination of supply voltage and loop load resistance in the shaded area can be used. To determine the loop load resistance (transmitter output load), add the series resistance of each component in the loop, excluding the transmitter.

ground the shield at the transmitter. Cut and/or tape the shield so it cannot contact the metal housing. 4. Plug unused conduit connection with the PG 13.5 or 1/2 NPT metal plug provided (or equivalent). To maintain specified explosion proof and dust-ignition proof protection, plug must engage a minimum of five full threads.
Putting Transmitter into Operation The following procedure explains how to sequence the valves in your flow measurement piping or optional bypass manifold to ensure that your transmitter is not over-ranged and that seal liquid is not lost. Refer to Figure 5 or Figure 6. NOTE Procedure assumes that Process shutoff valves are open.
Transmitter Wiring for IDP10-V (1-5 VDC Output Signal) The field terminals on a transmitter with a 1 to 5 V dc output signal are shown in Figure 13. The transmitter is equipped with an internal ground connection within the field wiring compartment and an external ground connection at the base of the electronics housing.
For wiring runs with high resistance due to long lengths or other reasons, or for maximum accuracy, a four-wire connection as shown in Figure 15 can be used to provide input-output isolation. With four-wire configuration, voltage drop in the power supply loop does not affect measurement accuracy.
The setup with multiple transmitters connected to a single power supply is shown in Figure 17. 9. For installations with long runs, Viatran recommends using two twisted pair with one pair connected to the power supply terminals and one pair connected to the output terminals.
Putting Transmitter into Operation The following procedure explains how to sequence the valves in your flow measurement piping or optional bypass manifold to ensure that your transmitter is not over-ranged and that seal liquid is not lost. Refer to Figure 5 or Figure 6. NOTE Procedure assumes that Process shutoff valves are open.
NOTE The IDP10-A and IDP10-V transmitters can be re-ranged to a new calibrated range without application of pressure. See EGU LRV and EGU URV in Figure 24.

The pressure source can be connected to the transmitter process connection with pipe fittings or it can be connected to the vent screw assembly using a calibration screw. The calibration screw has a Polyflo fitting and can be used for pressures up to 700 kPa (100 psi). It is available from Viatran. NOTE...
Bench Calibration Setup The bench calibration setup requires disconnecting the process piping. For calibration setup with- out disconnecting the process piping, refer to the “Field Calibration Setup” procedure. The input setup is shown in Figure 20. Connect the input piping to the high pressure side of the transmitter as shown.
NOTE For vacuum applications, connect the calibrating pressure source to the low pressure side of the transmitter. Also connect electronic equipment as shown in Figure 19 . General Calibration Setup 1. Each transmitter is factory characterized over its full rated differential pressure range. One benefit of this process is that every transmitter can measure any applied differential pressure within its range limits regardless of the calibrated range.
3. Each transmitter is factory calibrated to either a specified or a default calibrated range. This calibration optimizes the accuracy of the internal digital value of differential pressure over that range. If no range is specified, the default range is zero to the sensor upper range limit (URL).

3. LCD Indicator The display can show any measured differential pressure in selected units regardless of the calibrated range and the values of LRV and URV (within the limits of the transmitter and display). The display can also be 0 to 100 percent. If the measured differential pressure is outside the range established by the LRV and URV values in the database, the display shows the measurement but also continually blinks to indicate that the measurement is out of range.
When zeroing the transmitter, the internal digital value of the differential pressure is trimmed to be equal to zero and the mA output (VDC for IDP10-V) set to an appropriate value such that the mA output (VDC for IDP10-V) is a nominal 4 mA (1 VDC for IDP10-V) when the LRV pressure is applied later.
2. The IDP10-A transmitter can be re-ranged without the application of pressure. See EGU LRV and EGU URV in Figure 24. Proceed to calibrate your transmitter by using the Next key to select your item and the Enter key to specify your selection per Figure 23.
Enter button. The display will show the first item in the Configuration menu. You can then configure items shown in Table 3 for the IDP10-A or IDP10-V transmitter. The initial factory configuration is also given in these tables.
