Section 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Series 2808 Transmitters convert pressure measurements into a proportional 4-20 mA or a 1 - 5 Vdc output signal that functions as the input to a controller, recorder, indicator or similar device. These Transmitters find application in the gas, water, and process industries that require accurate measurements over a wide range of environmental conditions.
1.3 MODELS APPROVED FOR HAZARDOUS AREAS Transmitter models certified for operation in hazardous areas by Underwriters Laboratories (UL) will have the appropriate logo inscribed on the instrument data plate. These models are intended for use in the following hazardous locations: Explosion-proof for Class I, Division 1, Groups C and D.
Section 1A GAGE PRESSURE TRANSMITTERS Model 2808-15B & 2808-16B 1A.1 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Gage Pressure Transmitters convert a pressure measurement into a proportional 4-20 mA or a 1-5 Vdc output signal that can be applied to the input of a controller, recorder, indicator or similar device.
1A.2 THEORY OF OPERATION The Transmitter body is composed of an electronics housing and a sensor module assembly as shown in the block diagram Figure 1A-3. The electronics housing contains the amplifier circuitry and the field wiring terminals. The sensor module contains a pressure input chamber, a fluid chamber, a recessed isolation diaphragm, and a micro diaphragm that includes electronic sensing circuitry.
4-20 mA current flowing through the resistor provides a 1-5 Vdc input for the external device. Amplifier circuitry contains gain and offset adjustments for setting range calibration. A jumper selects the damping option. At the users option, the unit may also be converted to a three-wire 1-5 Vdc output through jumper selection.

1A.5 PRESSURE MEASUREMENT APPLICATIONS 2808-XXB Transmitters measure the pressure of a process medium flowing through a pipe or contained in a tank. A discussion of some basic applications follows: Figure 1A-7 - Process Pipe Mounting Figure 1A-8 - Pipe Tap Connection Liquid Application.
Figure 1A-9 - Horizontal Gas Run Figure 1A-10- Vertical Gas Run Steam Application. When measuring steam pressure, the maximum temperature of the Transmitter's electronic circuitry must be strictly observed. Temperatures above the specified limit (see Environmental Temperature under topic 2.1) will cause output errors and possibly result in damage to the transmitter.
Liquid Level Application. GP Transmitters can be used to measure the head pressure of a column of liquid in an open tank. For this application, the Transmitter is connected at the bottom of the tank as shown in Figure 1A-13 (the Transmitter could also be attached to the tank through an appropriate fitting).
1A.6 SERVICE CHECKS General troubleshooting hints are listed in Table 1A-C. Some of these checks will require a digital multimeter (DMM). The DMM may be connected across the (+) and (V) terminals to measure current directly without opening the current loop. See Section 4 Service for details.

Section 1B DIFFERENTIAL PRESSURE TRANSMITTERS Models 2808-35B 1B.1 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Model 2808-35B Differential Pressure (DP) Transmitters measure the pressure differential existing across an orifice plate or similar type device and converts it into a proportional 4- 20 mA or a 1-5 Vdc signal that can be applied to the input of a device such as a flow computer, controller, recorder, etc.
Figure 1B-3 - Simplified Diagram Implanted on the sensor's micro-machined surface are four strain gauge resistors connected in a bridge configuration. This circuit, which is powered by a constant current supply on the amplifier board, produces a millivolt output that is equal to the difference between the two pressure inputs.

1B.4 TRANSMITTER MOUNTING Transmitters may be mounted in any position. However, when a Transmitter leaves the factory, it is calibrated for operation in the upright position with the electronics enclosure at the top and the DP connections at the bottom as shown in Figure 1B-2. If it is installed in a different position, the Transmitter may require a slight zero adjustment.
front, rear or bottom of the Transmitter. Care should be taken not to damage the sensor module assembly during this procedure. Once the flange has been positioned, the bolts should be tightened in an alternating sequence to about 20-30 foot-pounds of torque. Optional Process Manifold Block.
1B.5 DP MEASUREMENT APPLICATIONS 2808-XXB Transmitters measure the differential pressure of pressurized liquids, gases, or steam. They can also be used to measure a column of liquid in a tank or vessel. A discussion of some basic applications follows: Liquid Application. When measuring the differential of pressurized liquids, mount the DP Transmitter below the orifice plate to minimize entry of air into the Transmitter and its con-necting lines.
An on-site, zero test signal for calibration purposes can be generated by opening the bypass valve and closing both shutoff valves. Calibration information will be found in Section 3. Figure 1B-9 - Gas, Horiz, Pipe Figure 1B-10 - Gas, Vert. Pipe Steam Application.
A liquid-filled line is one way to isolate the Transmitter from a steam process. As an al- ernate method, a steam trap may be installed in the connecting line. Several manufacturers offer traps for this application. Liquid Level Application. DP Transmitters can be used to measure the head pressure of a column of liquid in an open tank.
Figure 1B-15 - Closed Tank with Air Purge The purge meter (pressure regulator) maintains a pressure on the dip tube that is about 5% above the maximum pressure of a full tank. This prevents the liquid from backing up the dip tube into the HI side of the Transmitter. For this application, the liquid in the tank should not be allowed to exceed the maximum (100%) measurement level or else it may backflow into the LO side of the Transmitter.
TABLE 1B-B - TROUBLESHOOTING CHECKS SYMPTOM RECOMMENDED CHECK Low or no output: Check power supply for low dc output. Check field wiring for shorts, opens, grounds or excessive resistance. Make sure that shutoff valves in both DP lines are fully open and that any line bypass valve is fully closed.

Section 2 INSTALLATION 2.1 INSTALLATION NOTES Prior to installing the Transmitter, factors such as environmental temperature, main- tenance access, and Transmitter construction materials will require consideration. Environmental Temperature: The temperature operating ranges for the wet end and elec- tronics assemblies of the Transmitter are as follows: 1.
The installation of equipment in hazardous areas must comply with the National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA-70, and ANSI/ISA S82.01, S82.02, & S82.03 standards. Transmitters certified for use in hazardous areas will have the mark of the certifying agency inscribed on the Transmitter data plate. The checklist that follows emphasizes some key points of safety with regard to installations in hazardous areas.
Conduit Connection: The Transmitter provides a ½ inch NPT threaded female port for electrical conduit. This port can mate with threaded conduit or an appropriate threaded pipe adapter. Note: The conduit connections must be secured with no less than five threads fully engaged. In some applications, condensation could form in the conduit, and seep into the Transmit- ter electronics housing.

To access the fine offset (A1) and fine gain (A2) adjustment screws, loosen the screw that secures the I.D. Plate to the top of the Transmitter housing and pivot the I.D. Plate. The fine offset and gain screws are labeled A1 and A2 respectively. The calibration label that identifies A1 and A2 is affixed to the top of the Transmitter housing and will be exposed when the I.D.
3.3 EXTERNAL CHECK PROCEDURE The general check procedure determines the accuracy of the Transmitter at its calibrated operating range. It uses the offset (A1) and the gain (A2) adjustment screws for minor calibration corrections. Proceed as follows: 1. Provide a test setup as shown in Figure 3-1a or 3-1b depending on whether the unit has been configured for current or voltage mode.
Coarse Span URL Range ------------ X 100% Once span has been calculated the desired switch position can be determined from Table 3- A or Table 3-B. Coarse Zero: Coarse zero adjustments are provided by switches S1:1-8. When these switches are all set to ON, the maximum zero suppression (600%) is provided; when all are set to OFF, the maximum zero elevation (600%) is provided.

TABLE 3-A - COARSE ZERO SWITCH SETTINGS (Elevation) 3-6 / Calibration 2808B...
Suppressed Zero Calibration: 0 psi < 1V (4-20mA) output [0 psi results in an output less than 1V (4mA)] Sample Ranges: 1 to 10 psi 10 to 60 psi 50 to 100 psi The above procedures are described in topics 3.6, 3.7, and 3.8. Select the procedure you require.
2. Calculate the desired output reading for 0 psi. For this example, 0 psi = 25% of the span from -10 to 30 psi. The output should therefore be 25% of the way from 1-5V, or 2V(8mA). Set the Dip and Rotary switches in accordance with Table 3-A. Elevated zero values are expressed as positive percentages of calibrated span.
Page 64
2. Set the Dip and Rotary switches in accordance with Table 3-B. Suppressed zero values are expressed as negative percentages of upper range limit (URL). Zero percent URL represents no suppression. If the desired percent suppression is in between values, try the next closest setting.
3.8.1 Zero Suppression Example (see Figure 3-3 & Table 3-B) The full water tower of Figure 3-3, produces 53.5 psi of pressure due to the 125 foot head, i.e 10.7 psi plus 42.8 psi. To determine the Coarse Span Rotary Switch (SW1) setting, divide the pressure produced by the 25 feet of water in the tank by the Transmitter’s range;...

Section 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 INTRODUCTION The loop powered indicator (LPI) option is used to provide local indication in engineering units of the measurand represented by a 4-20 mA current loop. The LPI may be installed in a Model 2808 Transmitter with the 2808 Display Cover Assembly or in a stand-alone housing.
The two-board assembly is designed for field retrofit in the 2808 pressure transmitters. 1.1.3. Adjustments Adjustment potentiometers are unnecessary in the LPI. The indicator is always scaled to 4- 20mA. The user configures the LPI in engineering units of their choice, i.e., mA, %, psi, IN H2O, bar, kg/cm2, °C, °F or Custom.
Section 2 INSTALLATION, OPERATION & SERVICE 2.1 INSTALLATION & REMOVAL/REPLACEMENT OF THE LPI 2.1.1 Installation/Removal of the Loop Powered Indicator The following parts are provided for field installation of the Loop Powered Indicator option: One (1) - O-Ring, Size - 149 Two (2) - Standoffs, #4 M/F Shoulder Two (2) - Standoffs, 4-40 x .750 M/F One (1) - Meter Motherboard Ass’y.

from configuration mode to run mode. At any point in the sequence pressing the Mode button selects the next item in the order i.e., to leave a previously configured item as is, press Mode to skip over it. When configuration is started a one-minute timer is loaded; it is reloaded whenever a Mode or Select button is pressed.
Page 85
If the selected unit is mA or % no further configuration is allowed and configuration mode ends. For other units the following occurs. The SET LO legend appears with the minus sign blinking, and the previously con- figured digits for the Zero appear without a decimal point. Previously configured minus sign and ten-thousandths half-digit choices are cancelled, and new selections must be made.
If the selected BU is Custom, no other units are affected. Upon power-up the MPU makes all display segment elements active for 5 seconds; this allows a visual check for non-functioning elements. After 5 seconds the LPI begins dis- playing values in the unit (BU) that was active before power-down. 2.3.2 Accuracy and Decimal Point Settings The LPI has a stated accuracy of ±...
As the Mode button is pressed the display will change to the next available unit in the order shown above starting with the BU. With a BU of inH2O for example, the order would be bar, kg/cm2, mA, %, psi, then back to inH2O. 2.3.4 Error Conditions LPIs that have not been factory calibrated will alternately show a reading and UCUC (for Uncalibrated) in the display for four seconds.

Section 1 - Overview 1.1 INTRODUCTION This document provides information pertaining to the installation of Series 2808-XXB Transmitters; more specifically, information covering reasons, theory and techniques for protecting your personnel and equipment from electrical damage. Your instrument system affects the quality of service provided by your company and many aspects of its operational safety.
Section 2 - Protection 2.1 PROTECTING INSTRUMENT SYSTEMS Electrical instrumentation is susceptible to damage from a variety of natural and man made phenomena. In addition to wind, rain and fire, the most common types of system and equipment damaging phenomena are lightning, power faults, communication surges & noise and other electrical interference’s caused by devices such as radios, welders, switching gear, automobiles, etc.
2.2.1 Considerations For The Protection of Personnel Always evaluate the site environment as if your life depended on it. Make sure that you understand the physical nature of the location where you will be working. Table 2-1 provides a general guideline for evaluating an installation site. Table 2-1 - Installation Site Safety Evaluation Guide Guide Indoor or outdoor –...
Table 2-2 - Equipment Protection Site Safety Evaluation Guide (Continued) Guide Reference Section Are there overhead or underground power or com-munication See Section 2.3 cables in the immediate area? Is there an antenna in the immediate area? See Section 4.1.2 If pipe mounted, is a cathodic charge present on the pipe? See Section 3.4 Should the 2808 Transmitter be isolated?
Section 3 - Grounding & Isolation 3.1 POWER & GROUND SYSTEMS Series 2808-XXB Transmitters are similar in that they both have basically two system grounds, i.e., Chassis Gnd and Circuit Ground. Chassis Ground is galvanically isolated from Circuit Ground by 600V (ac/dc). Series 2808-XXB Transmitters have an input power range of +5 to +42 Vdc.
Electrical Housing) and a known good Earth Ground. Observe recommendations provided in topics Establishing a Good Earth Ground and Ground Wire Considerations. 3.3.1 Establishing a Good Earth Ground A common misconception of a ground is that it consists of nothing more than a metal pipe driven into the soil.
the soil may be to dry and/or salt free to a good conductor. If salt is lacking add rock salt (NaCl); if the soil is dry add calcium chloride (CaCl 3.3.1.2 Soil Types: Good Poor Damp Loam Back Fill Salty Soil or Sand Dry Soil Farm Land Sand Washed by a Lot of Rain...
Figure 3-3 - Basic Ground Bed Soil Test Setup with Additional Ground Rods If the Megger still reads more than 10 ohms, mix a generous amount of cooking salt, ice cream salt or rock salt with water and then pour about 2.5 to 5 gallons of this solution around each rod (including the test rods).
Figure 3-5 - Poor Soil Ground Bed Construction Diagram Sandy soil, either wet or dry, may have had its soluble salts leached out by rain water, thereby reducing conductivity of the ground. High currents from lightning strikes could also melt sand and cause glass to form around the ground rod, rendering it ineffective. A buried counterpoise or copper screen is preferred for these installations along with regular applications of salt water.
i This ground wire should be clamped or brazed to the Ground Bed Conductor (that is typically a stranded copper AWG 0000 cable installed vertically or horizontally). i The other end of the wire should be tinned with solder and either equipped with a terminal connector (for case mounting) or inserted into a case mounted Ground Lug (if supplied) (see Figure 3-6).

Section 4 - Lightning Arresters & Surge Protectors 4.1 STROKES & STRIKES Lightning takes the form of a pulse that typically has a 2 µS rise and a 10 µS to 40 µS decay to a 50% level. The IEEE standard is an 8 µS by 20 µS waveform. The peak current will average 18 KA for the first impulse and about half of that for the second and third impulses.

Thunderstorms are cloud formations that produce lightning strikes (or strokes). Across the United States there is an average of 30 thunderstorm days per year. Any given storm may produce from one to several strokes. Data on the subject indicates that for an average area within the United States there can be eight to eleven strokes to each square mile per year.
4.1.2 Ground Propagation As in any medium, a dynamic pulse, like R.F., will take time to propagate. This propagation time will cause a differential step voltage to exist in time between any two ground rods that are of different radial distances from the strike. With a ground rod tied to a struck tower, the impulse will propagate its step voltage outwardly from this rod in ever-expanding circles, like a pebble thrown into a pond.
i Use I/O protectors (Phone line, Radio) with a low inductance path to the ground system. i Ground the Coaxial Cable Shield (or use an impulse suppressor) at the bottom of the tower just above the tower leg ground connection. 4.2 USE OF LIGHTNING ARRESTERS &...
Section 5 - Wiring Techniques 5.1 OVERVIEW This section provides information pertaining to good wiring practices. Installation of Power and “Measurement & Control” wiring is discussed. Information on obscure problems, circulating ground and power loops, bad relays, etc. is presented. Good wire preparation and connection techniques along with problems to avoid are discussed.
Figure 5-1 - Field Wired Circuits With & Without A Common Return 5.2.2 Use of Twisted Shielded Pair Wiring (with Overall Insulation) For all field I/O wiring the use of twisted shielded pairs with overall insulation is highly recommended. This type of cable provides discrete insulation for each of the wires and an additional overall insulated covering that provides greater E.M.I.
5.2.3 Grounding of Cable Shields DO NOT connect the cable shield to more than one ground point; it should only be grounded at one end. Cable shields that are grounded at more than one point or at both ends may have a tendency to induce circulating currents or sneak circuits that raise havoc with I/O signals.
5.2.7 High Power Conductors and Signal Wiring When routing wires, keep high power conductors away from signal conductors. Space wires appropriately to vent high voltage inductance. Refer to the National Electrical Code Handbook for regulatory and technical requirements. 5.2.8 Use of Proper Wire Size Series 2808 Transmitters utilize screw terminals that accommodate up to AWG 14 gauge wire.
line as close to the modem as possible. Any unit equipped with a radio or modem must be connected to a known good earth ground via the units Ground Lug. 5.2.10 Secure Wiring Connections Make sure that all wiring connections are secure. In time wires that were once round will become flattened due to the pressure applied by screw compression type terminals and site vibrations.

ESDS Manual #S14006 4/15/92 Typical Chip Removal Tool It is important to note when inserting EPROMS/PROMS, that the index notch on the PROM must be matched with the index notch on the socket. Before pushing the chip into the socket, make sure all the pins are aligned with the respective socket-holes.
ESDS Manual S14006 4/15/92 CAUTION Don't place ESD-sensitive components and paperwork in the same bag. The static caused by sliding the paper into the bag could develop a charge and damage the component(s). Include a note, which describes the malfunction, in a separate bag along with each component being shipped.
ESDS Manual #S14006 4/15/92 Note: If a system checker is not available, use an ohmmeter connected to the cable ends to measure its resistance. The ohmmeter reading should be 1 megohm +/- 15%. Be sure that the calibration date of the ohmmeter has not expired. If the ohmmeter reading exceeds 1 megohm by +/- 15%, replace the ground cord with a new one.

ESDS Manual S14006 4/15/92 The components can now be handled following the general rules as described in the instruction manual for the component. Place the component in a static-shielding bag before the ground cord is disconnected. This assures protection from electrostatic charge in case the work surface is located beyond the reach of the extended ground cord.
ESDS Manual #S14006 4/15/92 If a component is to undergo on-site testing, it may be safely placed on the grounded work surface for that purpose. (10) After all component work is accomplished, remove the wrist straps and ground wire and place in the pouch of the work surface for future use. Cleaning And Lubricating The following procedure should be performed periodically for all PC boards and when a PC board is being replaced.
