Operating manual Multifunctional Process Transmitter CIT 400 / CIT 401 CIT 400 CIT 401 front panel housing top-hat rail housing Important notes: Please read this operating manual carefully before installing and starting up the device. This operating manual must be kept at an accessible location for further use.
Install the device in the currentless condition! 1.5 Security note for the Ex-version of CIT 400 When using the CIT 400 in intrinsic areas, the following additional demands must be fulfilled: For the installation, maintenance and cleaning of the device, you must absolutely ob-...
It is the responsibility of the user to verify whether the chosen device is suitable for the intended application and the existing environmental conditions. BD SENSORS does not assume liability for an incorrect selection and its consequences! The technical data listed for the explosion sector correspond to the values certified in the EC type-examination certificate.
CIT 400 / CIT 401 For identification of the firmware, the program version (e. g. P071) will appear for about 1 second in the display after starting up the device. Please hold it ready for inquiry calls. 3. Installation 3.1 General notes •...

CIT 400 / CIT 401 4. Overvoltage protection For effective protection of the process transmitters, it is necessary to protect power supply and mA outputs by using overvoltage protection devices. We recommend: - Data Pro 2x1 24 V/24 V for potential-free (galvanically isolated) data lines, 25 A leakage current as well as automatic self-control by failsafe diodes, which interrupt the current signal in case of error and cause an error message, given out by the process transmitter.
The structure of the menu systems for the process transmitters CIT 400 and CIT 401 is identical. The CIT 401 deviates from the other by the gray marked menus, which are not available with CIT 400.

This menu level can be called up by pressing Enter like any other menu. After that, the respective relay must be selected. This can be achieved by selecting the numbers of the relay with the arrow keys. Confirm your selection with Enter (CIT 400 features 2 relays; CIT 401 features 4 relays).

CIT 400 / CIT 401 Menu level Aout - analogue output The settings for the analogue signal output are determined in the menu items. Analogausgang - output signal outY This menu defines the output signal range. You can choose between the following settings: 4-20 mA, 0-20 mA, 20-4 mA and 20-0 mA.

By changing the relays, both pumps will be activated on reaching the next turn-on point. With CIT 400, this function can be switched on and off. With CIT 401, values 2, 3, 4, and OFF can be set. The value gives the number of used relays for the changing.
CIT 400 / CIT 401 Programming: Select the menu "dlS1" in the menu level "dlSP". Set the following values in the menu level "SInP": ZPIn (starting point of measuring range) EPIn (end point of pressure range) (decimal point position) Set the following values in the menu level "Aout":...

CIT 400 / CIT 401 10. Recalibration During the life-time of the device, the offset may shift. As a consequence, a deviating signal val- ue in reference to the nominal pressure range starting point may be transmitted. The full scale may also shift. This would cause a signal value of the pressure switch to be transmitted that deviates from the nominal pressure range end point.
