All safety recommendations appearing in this manual must be followed to ensure personal safety and prevent damage to the instrument or system. If the instrument is used in a manner other than that specified in this manual, the device’s safety protections may not be effective. NOVUS AUTOMATION 3/25...
NP785 Ultra Low Differential Pressure Transmitter is suitable for use in HVAC applications such as environmental monitoring or climate control or environmental monitoring of industrial processes where high accuracy is required at low pressure ranges. NOVUS AUTOMATION 4/25...
Figure 01 shows the information available in the device housing: Figure 1 – NP785 Ultra Low Differential Pressure Transmitter DEVICE MODEL The NP785 Ultra Low Differential Pressure Transmitter line is available in 07 models: NP785-50 of ± 50 Pa; • NP785-100 of ± 100 Pa •...
Overpressure: Excessive pressure, which exceeds the NP785 Ultra Low Differential Pressure Transmitter capacity, can cause irreversible mechanical and electrical damage to the device. To avoid damaging the operator or the device installer, follow the installation instructions and use the appropriate protection and device. NOVUS AUTOMATION 7/25...
Remember to pass all wires through a cable clip before completing electrical connections. • When closing the housing, the cover should be placed again properly, ensuring proper sealing for this device. • 4.2.3 ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS Figure 05 shows the device electrical connections: Figure 5 – Electrical connections NOVUS AUTOMATION 8/25...
LED flashing quickly: The measured pressure is outside the configured relay limits. • One long flash: The Auto-Zero function has been performed successfully. • Three short flashes: The Auto-Zero function was not performed. • LED off: There was an error in the device. • NOVUS AUTOMATION 9/25...
Extra-range mode is the default mode of alarm output. The default values of the set points, in turn, are the operating limits of the device. Any changes in the pressure unit configuration readjust the values of the set points to the operating limits. NOVUS AUTOMATION 10/25...
The device leaves the factory with the 4-20 mA electrical standard and with the pressure unit configured according to the selected model (see Table 01). Any changes in the pressure unit configuration readjust the values of the transmission limits to the device operating limits. NOVUS AUTOMATION 11/25...
In any other situation, the USB interface use is possible, but requires a careful analysis by the person responsible for its installation. For MONITORING for long periods and with inputs and outputs connected, it is recommended to use the RS485, available or optional in most of our device. NOVUS AUTOMATION 12/25...

The Create Configuration button creates a configuration from scratch, without needing the device. This configuration can be saved in a file for future use or can be recorded to a connected device. The Open Configuration button reads a configuration file already created. NOVUS AUTOMATION 17/25...
Serial Number, Firmware Version and Model are non-editable parameters that are read by the software directly from the device. For NP785 Ultra Low Differential Pressure Transmitter to be recognized on a Modbus network, you must assign a unique Modbus Address on the network and configure the communication Baud Rate and Parity. NOVUS AUTOMATION 18/25...
Offset means that the output will remain at 2. If you select the option to reset the Offset to zero, the output will remain at 0. 8.3.3 OUTPUT PARAMETERS By clicking on the icon, you can configure the transmission analog output and the alarm output.

Upper Limit and Lower Limit are the differential pressure values that act as alarm activation conditions that, together with the Hysteresis, define the barrier to be exceeded so that the channel exits the alarm situation. For more information about the alarm configuration, see Alarm Configuration section. NOVUS AUTOMATION 20/25...
In output diagnostics, on the other hand, you can monitor the value of the analog output in real time or force a value. This interface depends on the type of analog output configured (0-10 V or 4-20 mA) and will be adjusted automatically. NOVUS AUTOMATION 21/25...
