Installation of intrinsic safety versions should be performed with particular care, in accordance with the regulations and standards applicable to that type of installation. Changes to the products manufacturing documentation may forestall a paper user updating. Current Instruction Manual is available at Producer http. on www.aplisens.pl...
Ex VERSIONS 1. Introduction 1.1. This “Appendix Ex.02” applies only to the APCE-2000, APCE-2000G, APRE-2000, APRE-2200, APRE-2000G, APR-2000Y intrinsically safe (Exi) transmitters designed in accordance with ATEX Directive, provided with the rating plate as specified in section and information about Exi design in the Product Certificate.

DTR.APCE.APRE.02 (ENG) Appendix Ex.02 Table 1 Pi [W] Ta [ºC] Temperature class 0.75 T4, group I T4, group I - Version of transmitter with surge arrester, marked on the plate “Version SA”, does not meet the requirements of Section 10,3 of the EN 60079-11 (500Vrms). This must be taken into account when installing the equipment.

DTR.APCE.APRE.02 (ENG) Appendix Ex.02 6. How to connect Ex transmitters Connection between transmitter and other devices in the measuring loop should be made in accordance with the requirements of intrinsically safe standards and instructions for use in hazard areas. Non-compliance with the intrinsic safety requirements may cause the transmitter to explode and hazard to human safety and health.
It includes essential recommendations concerning installation and use, as well as emergency procedures. 1.2. Technical data for the diaphragm seals for the APCE-2000, APRE-2000, APRE-2200 transmitters are contained in the catalogue cards “DIAPHRAGM SEALS”.

5.2.3. Metrological Parameters APCE-2000 for PED version APCE-2000 transmitters, in the PED pressure directive versions, are produced with a measurement range in the interval from –1 bar to 400bar gage, or from 0 to 400 bar absolute, with the overpressure up to PS=440bar.

After processing, the digital signal is converted into an analogue 4÷20mA current signal, with a superimposed digital communication signal. For communication with the transmitter via analog signal line the Aplisens KAP communicator, or a PC computer meeting the requirements given in 10.2.4, is used.
4...20mA output analog signal and produces a digital HART signal. 6.2.1. To the APCE-2000, sensing module transmitters may be installed the pressure connectors as in figures 5a, 6a, 7a, 8 or other. They are equipped with a diaphragm separating the internal part of the head from the medium 6.2.2.
DTR.APCE.APRE.02 (ENG) 7.1.4. Attention should also be paid to possible installation faults which may lead to measurement errors, such as connections which are not tight, sediment blockage in lines which are too narrow, gas bubbles in a liquid line or liquid column in a gas line etc. 7.2.
This effect can be reduced by ensuring that the lines run side by side. The APRE-2000G transmitter can also be fitted with an adapter (Figure 14) creating a C-type connector, designed for installation on a 3-valve or 5-valve manifold. Aplisens can also supply transmitters ready mounted on valves.
In the case of unprotected transmitters, external protective devices may be used, e.g. the UZ-2 system produced by Aplisens, 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 adjustments are called “Calibration”. 10.2.4. Configuration and Calibration of the transmitter are carried out using an Aplisens KAP-03 communicator, certain HART communicators or a PC with HART/RS232 or HART/USB Converter and Aplisens Raport 2 software.

DTR.APCE.APRE.02 (ENG) 11. SERVICES AND SPARE PARTS. 11.1. Periodic service Periodic service should be made in accordance with the user regulations. During service, the pressure connectors should be checked for loose connections and leaks, the diaphragm seals should be checked for tarnishing and corrosion, and the electrical connectors should be checked with regard to tightness the state of the gaskets, packing glands, and.
The manufacturer reserves the right to make constructional and technological changes which do not lower the quality of the transmitters. 14.1.
