At the customer's request, elements of diaphragm seal can be made of titanium. This version of the transmitter has information on the label that the titanium elements are used (for example PCE-28/TR/S-Ch titan/PD). Then user should secure the diaphragm seal against the possibility of an impact.
Declarations of Conformity: 1.3. ATEX directive, Exi intrinsically safe versions, certificate No. FTZÚ 12ATEX 0193X. Additional data on the PCE-28, PRE-28 transmitters and PCE-28P probes in Ex versions covered by ATEX the common EC-type test certificate FTZU 12ATEX 0193X, are contained in the appendix designated DTR.PCE.PRE-28.02(ENG) Appendix Ex.01.
To measure a medium which contain suspensions or impurities, or are viscous, hot, corrosive etc., use the PRE–28 transmitter with a single diaphragm seal. 3.6. The PCE-28 or PRE-28 transmitters and the PCE-28P probes generate a 4...20mA signal using two-wire transmission, other PCE-28 and PRE-28 solution can be produced with or 0...10V signal using three-wire transmission.
Long term stability 0.05% Hysteresis and repeatability 5.1.3. Metrological Parameters PCE-28 for PED version The PCE-28 transmitters in the PED pressure directive versions are produced with a measurement range: From –1bar to 400bar for over pressure and under pressure; ...
*) Turn on the backlight indication of transmitters PCE-28 with an ALW connection increases the minimum supply voltage for all versions of 3V (p. 10.3.3). The method of self-turn on or off the backlight is shown in Figure 5.
6. CONSTRUCTION 6.1. Measurement Principles The PCE-28, pressure transmitters, PRE-28 differential pressure transmitters and the PCE-28P level probes operate by converting changes in the piezo-resistive bridge, which are proportional to the measured pressure, into a standard current (4÷20 mA) or voltage (0÷10 V) output signal.
DTR.PCE.PRE-28.02(ENG) 6.2.3. The PCE-28, PRE-28 transmitters with a PZ type connector, has a terminal box welded the upper part of the casing (figure 2) with threaded covers. PZ type connector has an internal, and in Ex version also external earthing terminal.
8.4. In selecting assembly components, it may be helpful to consult information on connection elements, reduction elements, sockets, valves, reduction clamps and signal tubes manufactured by Aplisens. Information on this subject can be found in the catalogue cards “FITTING ACCESSORIES”.
Access to the setting knobs is given in p.6.2. In the PCE-28 transmitters with SG or SGM electrical connection does not have access to "zero" and "range" potentiometer. Correction of setting can be done by the manufacturer only.
Potentiometers can be used to shift the zero position and the range by up to 10%, without altering the setting. For the PCE-28 and PRE-28 transmitters with output signal 0 ÷ 10V one should set “zero” to a value of 0.05 V (output 0 ..

DTR.PCE.PRE-28.02(ENG) 11.3.2. Sometimes transmitters malfunction due to damage caused by overloading, e.g. in case of: - Application of excessive pressure; - Freezing or solidification of the medium; - Action of a hard object, such as a screwdriver, on the diaphragm. Usually in such cases the symptoms are such that the output current falls below “zero”...
