Chapter 1 Introduction The 3100 Smart Pressure Transmitter is calibrated at the factory before shipping. To ensure correct and efficient use of the instrument, please read the manual thoroughly and fully understand how to operate the instrument before operation. 1. The contents of this manual are subject to change without prior notice.
Smart Pressure Transmitter is a microprocessor based pressure transmitter with a capacitance sensor optimized for draft measurement. The Model 3100 has a true draft analog range from 0 to 20 mA. This transmitter is explosion-proof, high precision accuracy, reliability and has digital communication for remote communication system.
Chapter 2 Handling Cautions This chapter consists of cautions for transmitter handling, storage, installation, insulation and explosion structure, etc. Step Job Details Instrument Unpacking - Unpack transmitter packing Model and - Make sure the transmitter nameplate matches the model number on the P.O.

[Figure 4-1 Installation Flow Chart] 4.4 Commissioning on the Bench with Hand-Held Terminal The 3100 Pressure Transmitter can be commissioned before and 4.5 General Considerations after installation. Commissioning is easier if the transmitter is The transmitter can be mounted near the process to minimize piping.
4.6.1 Power Supply The 3100 Pressure Transmitter requires an 11.9 – 45 VDC power supply. A 250 ~ 550Ω (24 VDC) loop resistance is recommended for HART ® communication. Loop resistance is the sum of the resistance in the loop.

Table 6.1 Troubleshooting 6.4 Hardware Maintenance The Mercoid ® 3100 Smart Transmitter has no moving parts and requires little maintenance. If a transmitter fails, it must be returned to Dwyer Instruments, Inc. for inspection, repair, or replacement. 6.4.1 Test Terminals The test terminals are marked TEST on the terminal block.
