EN.IO.PCE.PRE.28. 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.
The terminal box must not be completely airtight, as the transmitter must be able to “breathe” through a capillary in the connector cable. It is recommended to use a Aplisens S.A. PP terminal box. 7.1.4. Connection of transmitters with ALW, ALM type connector Electrical connections transmitters equipped with ALW type or ALM type connector is the same as connecting transmitters with connectors PD or PM12, depending on the ordered version.
SGM, PM12 connection, ALW, ALM Additionally, an external protective device can be used, e.g. the UZ-2 system by APLISENS or others. 7.4. Shielding, equipotential bonding In the case of using a cable in the screen, connect the screen on one side at the point where the transmitter is powered.
− PCE-28P/TR** * Turning on the display backlight in the PCE-28 converters with ALW and ALM type connectors increases the ➔ minimum supply voltage for all versions by 3 V. The way to turn the backlight on or off is shown in Figure 3 ** TR- design for Pressure measurements in fast changing processes.
EN.IO.PCE.PRE.28. START-UP The basic data of the transmitter and probe can be read out from its nameplate (➔ Transmitter identi- fication). Use the transmitter within the allowable pressure limits. Risk of injury due to component break- age after exceeding the maximum permitted operating pressure. 8.1.
