1. INTRODUCTION NIPRESS D-A00 series pressure transmitters with stainless steel internal or flush diaphragm measure pressure and convert it into voltage and current output can be used in 2-wire systems. D-A00 has been especially designed for the process food and pharmaceutical industries (version stainless steel field housing) and measures vacuum, gauge and absolute pressure ranges of gases, steams and fluids up to 600 bar (8700 psi).

Use exclusively Ex d IIC cable entry for devices with Ex d flameproof protection! For Ex d models, the cover must be secured against opening after the cover is closed by a safety locking screw! With 1/2 Ex marking device, the sensor membrane also serves as a partition between the Ex zones, therefore it must be protected against mechanical damage. ...
4. INSTALLATION To create chance for replacing the instrument during operation, the use of closing armature is recommended. A simple ballcock valve will be suitable for lower pressures, but for higher ones (above 6 bar) a three-way blow-off needle-valve is suggested. In case of level measurement, it is advisable to screw the transmitter to the stump on the side of the tank.

Installation steps: Tightening torques: ½" BSP: max. 10 Nm; 1" BSP: max. 20 Nm; 1½" BSP: max. 25 Nm; ½" NPT: max. 70 Nm. The specified tightening torques must not be exceeded! Do not use a pipe wrench, to avoid damaging the device! Installation steps for BSP process connection (DIN 3852) Do not use any additional sealing material such as Teflon tape! Check if the O-ring is intact, its surface even and clean and seat in the designated groove accurately.
5. WIRING In order to electrically connect the device with the connection terminals, the cover For devices with cable gland, make sure that the external diameter of the cable must be screwed off. used is within the allowed clamping range! Once connected the wires, tighten Use a shielded and twisted multicore cable for the electrical connection.
® 5.1 HART COMMUNICATION The device can be configured using the keys, magnetic switches or by a HART communication device. ® In order to ensure the operation is flawless, the following requirements must be taken into account: Maximum cable length between measuring device and supply: where L maximum length of cable in [m], R resistance of cable together...
6.2 DESCRIPTION OF THE MENUSYSTEM The parameters can be set using three miniature keys, or the magnetic Set value: switches located under the metal cap. If a parameter is configured by providing a value, each digit must be configured The functions of these keys are as follows: separately.

7. TROUBLESHOOTING Fault Possible causes Fault detection / remedy The Connection is improper. Check the connections! No output signal: Broken conductor/wire. Check all wires with cable tester! Defective measuring device (signal input). Check the ampere meter (and its fuse) and the analogue input of the signal processing unit! Load resistance too high.
8. MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR The instrument does not require regular maintenance. The repair should only be carried out at the NIVELCO' premises. When disconnecting the device, it must always be done in depressurized and disconnected state! Drain the medium before disconnecting the device.
