VPT10-H HART ® PRESSURE TRANSMITTER INSTALLATION, OPERATION, CONFIGURATION AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ WARNING It is extremely important that all the safety instructions, installation and operation in this manual are followed faithfully. The manufacturer is not liable for damage or malfunction caused by improper use of this equipment.

VPT10-H HART ® PRESSURE TRANSMITTER INSTALLATION, OPERATION, CONFIGURATION AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ GENERAL INFORMATION Vivace Process Instruments ensures the operation of this equipment, according to the descriptions contained in its manual, as well as technical characteristics, not guaranteeing its full performance in particular applications.
It has integrated pressure and temperature compensations, providing high performance and stability of measurements. VPT10-H must be powered by a voltage of 12 to 45 Vdc in order to generate a 4-20 mA current channel (according to NAMUR NE43) proportional to the measurement performed.
INSTALLATION, OPERATION, CONFIGURATION AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 1.2. CAPACITIVE SENSOR The pressure sensor used by VPT10-H pressure transmitter is capacitive (capacitive cell), shown schematically in figure 1.2. Figure 1.2 – High performance capacitive sensor. See figure 1.3, below, to understand the working principle of the capacitive sensor.

VPT10-H HART ® PRESSURE TRANSMITTER INSTALLATION, OPERATION, CONFIGURATION AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ However, when the differential capacitance structure is used, the distance between CL and CH plates has a linear variation with the relation between the difference and the sum of the measured capacitances.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 1.3. OPERATING PRINCIPLE The main circuit of VPT10-H receives the capacitance readings (CL and CH) and temperature from the analog sensor board. The normalized pressure signal is calculated by applying the factory compensation polynomial to the CL and CH readings. From this value, using the sensor reading range, the pressure in the user unit (configurable) is calculated with the relevant calibrations of zero, maximum pressure and minimum pressure.
VPT10-H HART ® PRESSURE TRANSMITTER INSTALLATION, OPERATION, CONFIGURATION AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 2 INSTALLATION RECOMMENDATION When taking the equipment to the installation location, transfer it in the original packaging. Unpack the equipment at the installation location to avoid damage during transportation.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 2.1. MECHANICAL ASSEMBLY VPT10-H transmitter is designed for field installation and thus supports weather exposure, having good performance with variations in temperature, humidity and vibration. Its housing has an IP67 degree of protection, being immune to water entering its electronic circuit and terminal block, provided that the cable gland or conduit of the electrical connection is correctly assembled and sealed with non- hardenable sealant.

2.2. VPT10-H is a field device that can be installed through a bracket in a 2" tube holded by a U-clamp. For best LCD positioning the equipment can rotate 4 x 90°, as shown in figure 2.3 . The transmitter can also be fixed with the same bracket on wall or panel.

(1) Ambient Temperature VPT10-H has an intrinsic algorithm to compensate temperature variations. In the production process each transmitter is subjected to several cycles of temperature and a polynomial is created in order to minimize temperature variation, ensuring high performance of pressure measurements at any temperature. However, it is recommended to avoid locations subject to large variations in temperature or temperature gradients.

Figure 2.7 – Connections for VPT10-H. Table 2.2 – Terminal description for VPT10-H. NOTE ® All cables used to connect the VPT10-H to the HART network must be shielded to avoid interference and noise. NOTE It is extremely important to ground the equipment for complete eletromagnetic protection and also to ensure the correct performance of transmitter on the HART network.
The transmitter can be configured by any HART ® compatible programmer. Vivace offers the interfaces VCI10-H (USB and Bluetooth) as a solution for configuring and monitoring any HART ® device. VPT10-H can also be configured by local adjust using Vivace magnetic screwdriver.
3.2. JUMPER CONFIGURATION FOR LOCAL ADJUST AND WRITE PROTECTION VPT10-H has two jumpers on its main board to protect data writing (WP1) and also enabling/disabling local adjust (ADJL1). Figure 3.2 presents those jumpers.

INSTALLATION, OPERATION, CONFIGURATION AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 3.7. CALIBRATION VPT10-H allows user to calibrate several variables, according to their own measurement standards, to perfectly fit the process. Following are the variables that can be calibrated, with their respective procedures. PRESSURE It allows the user to adjust the maximum and minimum values to be used in the process, according to the reference value of the pressure generator used in the calibration.
PV OUT OF LIMITS: primary variable value is outside normal range. NON-PV OUT OF LIMITS: a variable other than primary variable has its value outside normal range. For VPT10-H this variable is the temperature and its limits are -40 °C and 85 °C.
