DTR.APC.APR.ALW.03 (ENG) 6. CONSTRUCTION 6.1. Principle of measurement. Electronic system construction The electrical signal from the sensor which is proportional to the pressure is sent to a digital analog input and converted to a digital signal. The digital signal is transmitted through optoelectronic galvanic barrier to conditioning module.
DTR.APC.APR.ALW.03 (ENG) 7. PLACE OF INSTALLATION 7.1. General recommendations 7.1.1. The smart pressure transmitter and differential pressure transmitter can be installed both indoors and outdoors. It is recommended that transmitters intended for outdoor use be placed in a box or under cover. 7.1.2.
DTR.APC.APR.ALW.03 (ENG) 7.4. Mechanical Vibration, shocks. Corrosive Media. 7.4.1. Transmitters should correctly work with vibrations with amplitudes to 1,6 mm and accelerations to 4g. If strong vibrations are carried via the pressure line and disturb of measuring, use should be made of elastic pulse lines or transmitters with a remote diaphragm seal.
The transmitter sensor is immersed in measured medium. The sensor can be hung on the power cable by using a APLISENS SG handle , but especially in the case of long cables, or if are opportunities of hooking protruding elements when the cable is pulling up, it is recommended that the sensor suspended on a steel rope using the sensor lug.
(see the table, column 3). Also external protective devices may be used, e.g. the UZ-2 Aplisens system, or others. When the transmission lines are long, it is advantageous to use one protective device near the transmitter (or inside it), and another near entry points to other devices used in conjunction with it.
The transmitter may also be calibrated, by taking readings with the input pressure controlled using a standard device. This process and zero-point adjustment are called “Calibration”. 10.2.4. Configuration and Calibration of the transmitter are carried out using an Aplisens KAP communicator, certain Hart communicators or a PC with Hart/RS232 converter and Aplisens “Raport” software.
