SECTION 1 - INTRODUCTION

The Type PTSD Platinum Standard Smart Pressure Transmit-
ter accurately measures absolute, gage, or differential pres-
sure, level, or flow rate of corrosive and noncorrosive liquids,
vapors, and gases. The transmitter can be configured to pro-
vide a polled digital process variable signal (digital field bus
mode) or a four to 20-milliampere process variable signal (ana-
log mode).
It is important for safety and operating reasons to read and
understand this instruction. Until doing so, do not install or
complete any tasks or procedures related to installation, cali-
bration, or operation.
The information in this publication is a guide for technical per-
sonnel responsible for the installation, calibration, operation,
maintenance, and repair of the Type PTSD Platinum Standard
Smart Pressure Transmitter.
The Type PTSD pressure transmitter consists of a cell and
characterization board assembly, and an electronics assembly.
The electronics package uses the latest microprocessor tech-
nology, allowing calibration, operation, and troubleshooting
from a local or remote location.
The Type STT Smart Transmitter Terminal communicates with
the transmitter to configure, calibrate, check transmitter sta-
tus, and perform other interactions with the transmitter. The
EZ CAL™ option allows calibration validation without the
Type STT terminal. An optional liquid crystal display (LCD)
shows output in percent and user-defined secondary engineer-
ing units, input in primary engineering units, cell tempera-
ture, and the transmitter ID tag. An analog meter is also
available for local output indication for those applications
where the transmitter operates at temperature extremes (refer
to Table 1-3 for the temperature limits).
Accurate, Stable, and Reproducible Measurements. Differ-
ential reluctance cell technology provides precise, stable, and
reproducible pressure measurements.
