Page 9: Definitions And Abbreviations
EN.IO.APC.APR.ALW 1.3. Definitions and abbreviations Table 1. Definitions and abbreviations. Item Abbr. Meaning "Lower Range Value" – the value of the set range expressed in physical units corresponding to the current of 4,000 mA, i.e. 0% of the output setpoint. The set range cannot exceed the set range limits. The mini- mum width of the set range |(URV-LRV)| is limited to 10% of the base range (URL-LRL). -
Page 10: Transmitter Set Range
EN.IO.APC.APR.ALW 1.4. Transmitter set range The figure below shows the transmitter set range and limits related to allowable set range, digital pro- cessing range and saturation limits of A/D pressure measurement transducer. As standard, values of 4 mA/20 mA currents are assigned to LRV/URV points. In order to obtain reverse characteristics, it is possible to reverse the assignment so that the LRV/URV points are assigned to 20 mA/4 mA currents. -

Page 14: Installation
EN.IO.APC.APR.ALW INSTALLATION 6.1. General recommendations It is recommended that in case of a gaseous medium, the transmitters should be installed above the measuring point so that condensate may flow to the point from which the meas- ured pressure is collected, while in case of liquid medium or steam, it should be installed below the point of pressure intake. -

Page 21: Operation
EN.IO.APC.APR.ALW OPERATION The transmitter gives the possibility of rotating the housing and adjusting the display position to the mounting position of the body. To rotate the housing, loosen the screw (item 1), position the transmit- ter housing (item 2) as required, tighten the screw (item 1). Access to the extensions (item 4) used to rotate the display is provided after opening the front cover (item 3). - Page 22 EN.IO.APC.APR.ALW LCD2 field: The LCD2 field is used mainly to display floating point decimal values in a unit displayed on LCD3. In some cases, other messages may be displayed: − ERROR in case of some operating errors or failure diagnosed in the transmitter, error/failure number Exxxx will appear on LCD2, the ERROR message will be displayed on LCD3.
