3.4 Fail Mode Alarm AUTROL® Smart Pressure Transmitter automatically and continuously performs self-diagnostic routines. If the self-diagnostic routines detect a failure, the transmitter drives its output outside of the normal saturation values. The transmitter will drive its output low(down) or high(up) based on the position of the failure mode alarm jumper .

3.8 Commissioning on the bench using HHT Commissioning consists of testing the transmitter, testing the loop, and verifying transmitter configuration data. APT-3100 Pressure Transmitter may be commissioned using HHT of HART supported either before of after installation. ▲ If you connect "TEST" pin, it's not communicated. If it doesn't exposed electronics circuits after install, you must connect all Jumper of transmitter in the shop commissioning level.
Chapter 4 Installation 4.1 Overview The information in this chapter 4 covers installation considerations. Dimensional drawings for Model APT-3100 variation and mounting configuration are included in this chapter. 4.2 Safety Message Procedures and instructions in this chapter may require special precautions ensure the safety of the personnel performing the operation.
4.4 Commissioning on the bench with Hand-Held Terminal After and before installation, You can handle upon commissioning. However, for correctly handling and knowing the function, before installation you have to handle upon commissioning on the bench with Hand-Held Terminal. Start want Bench Calibration?
4.5 General Considerations This transmitter uses the Piezo-Resistive pressure sensor. If it changes the pressure sensor, capacitive pressure is changed minutely. It transfer electrical signal minutely to 4~20mA analog signal. Thus mount the transmitter close to the process and use a minimum of piping to achieve best accuracy. However keep in mind the need for easy access, safety of personnel, practical field calibration, and a suitable transmitter environment.
4.7.2 Selecting the Wiring Materials (1) Use over 600V PVC shielded wire or standard lead line of same class or cable. (In order to ensure proper communication use 24 AWG or lager wire, and do not exceed 1500 meters.) (2) Use the shielded wire in electrical noise effected area. (3) At the higher or lower temperature area than ambient temperature it uses the wire or the cable that is suitable like that temperature.
◈ Both transmitter covers must be fully engaged to meet explosion proof requirements A. Loop Configuration AUTROL Series Transmitters use a two-wire system for power supply, 4~20mA analog signal transmission and HART digital transmission. DC Power Supply is required for the transmitter loop. The Transmitter and distributor are connected as shown below.

(b) Flameproof metal conduit wiring (Figure 4-4c) ◇ A seal fitting must be installed near the terminal box connections port for a sealed construction. ◇ Apply a non-hardening sealant to the threads of the terminal box connection box, flexible metal conduit and deal fitting for waterproofing.
4.7.5 Grounding (a) Grounding should satisfy KS requirements (grounding resistance, 10 Ohm or less). Grounding is required below 10 Ohm for explosionproof and intrinsic safety. [Note] In case of with Built-in Lightening Protector, Grounding should satisfy Special KS requirements (grounding resistance, 10 Ohm or less) (b) There are ground terminal on the inside and outside of the terminal box.
4.7.6 Power Supply Voltage and Load Resistance When configuring the loop, make sure that the external load resistance is within the range in the figure below. Since the voltage of transmitter terminal input is same as follows. General Standard: 11.9 to 45 Vdc ...

4.8.1 Mounting To use the cadence carrier from the environment where the vibration is heavy and must install the transmitter. In the environment where the vibration is heavy you will have to install the transmitter by using an assistant support. In the case of severe vibration, promote to mount on pipe using a mounting bracket as option.
Chapter 5 Online Operation 5.1 Overview This chapter describes to configure function of APT3200 SMART Pressure Transmitter. Transmitter can be configured to On-Line or Off-Line mode. In On-Line Configuration Mode, you must connect configuration such as HHT (Hand Held Terminal), etc. Configuration data inputs in Working Register of HHT and this data is sent to corresponding transmitter.
Before other handle transmitter to on-line, you must examine and confirm whether transmitter currently operate and suitably configure progress variable. 5.4.1 Process Variable We use two progress variable in APT-3200 SMART Pressure Transmitter pressure value is Primary Variable and temperature value of pressure value configure SV (Secondary Variable) with fixed value.
[ Graph of Damping Second ] 5.7 Configuration of Information Variable 5.7.1 Set Tag Tag variable is better easy method to classify to transmitter in multi transmitter install environment. Tag Character can be used to 8 word of English/number. 5.7.2 Set Messages When use several transmitter, user can define for classification each transmitter and use 32 words of English/number.
5.9 Calibration Scaled system implement by calibrating the transmitter. Trim function have several function for the calibration. Smart transmitters operate differently than analog transmitter. A Smart transmitter uses a microprocessor that contains information about the sensor's specific characteristics in response to pressure and temperature inputs for calculating Process Variable.
Chapter 6 Maintenance 6.1 Overview This chapter describes breakdown diagnostic and maintenance. 6.2 Safety Message When operation, it requires specially notice for the safety of operator. Information that raises potential safety issues is indicated by a warning symbol (▲). Refer to the following safety messages before performing an operation proceeded by this symbol.
6.3 Hardware Diagnostics If you suspect a malfunction despite the absence of any diagnostic messages on the HHT follow Table 6-1 described here to verify that transmitter hardware and process connections are in good working order. If you suspect a malfunction despite the absence of any diagnostic messages on the HHT follow Table 6-1 described here to verify that transmitter hardware and process connections are in good working order.
6.4 Hardware Maintenance Autrol APT3200 Smart Transmitters have no moving parts and require a minimum of scheduled maintenance. Both transmitters feature modular design for easy maintenance. If you suspect a malfunction, check for an external cause before performing the diagnostics as discussed later in this section.
