SECTION Introduction OVERVIEW This section contains general transmitter safety information, a brief description of each model covered in this manual, and a summary of each of each section. SAFETY MESSAGES Procedures and instructions in this manual may require special precautions to ensure the safety of the personnel performing the operations.
Pressure Transmitter. It is organized into the following sections: Section 2 Commissioning the Smart Transmitter This section provides information on commissioning and operating the Model PX2088 Smart Pressure Transmitter. Information is also included on software functions, configuration parameters, and on-line variables.
SECTION Commissioning the Smart Transmitter OVERVIEW This section contains information regarding commissioning the transmitter. Commissioning involves reviewing configuration data, setting the 4 and 20 mA points, configuring the transmitter to recognize accessories such as a LCD meter, and testing the transmitter output. SAFETY MESSAGES This section contains procedures that require connecting a communicator to the transmitter, or making connections in an explosive atmosphere.
If the communicator lacks the device driver for the PX2088 Smart, the transmitter will be identified as “GENERIC” by the communicator. Basic configuration functions are still possible, but many advanced configuration functions are not possible when the communicator is in this mode.
Process Variables HART Fast Keys 1, 1 The process variables for the Model PX2088 Smart provide the transmitter output, and are continuously updated. The Process Variable menu displays the following process variables: Pressure Percent Range...
After changing units, press SEND (F2) so the microprocessor will recalculate the associated variables (4–20 mA points, for example). The Model PX2088 Smart recalculates all variables that depend on units. After the transmitter recalculates the variables, you may change any of the...
NOTE Regardless of the range points, the Model PX2088 Smart will measure and report all readings within the digital limits of the sensor. For example, if the 4 and 20 mA...
1, 4, 3, 4, 3 Burst Mode sets the transmitter to maintain digital contact with a Digital Control System that has custom software to support burst mode. When the Model PX2088 Smart is configured for burst mode, it provides faster digital communication from the transmitter to the control system by eliminating the time required for the control system to request information from the transmitter.
® Burst mode is compatible with use of the analog signal. Because HART protocol features simultaneous digital and analog data transmission, the analog value can drive other equipment in the loop while the control system is receiving the digital information. Burst mode applies only to the transmission of dynamic data (pressure and temperature in engineering units, pressure in percent of range, and/or analog output in mA or V), and does not affect the way other transmitter data is accessed.
Digital to Analog Trim (Page 2-11) or Scaled Digital to Analog Trim (Page 2-12) Figure 2-3 illustrates the Model PX2088 Smart transmitter data flow. This data flow can be summarized in four major steps: 1. A change in pressure is measured by a change in the sensor output (Sensor Signal).

A zero trim is a single-point adjustment. It is useful for compensating for mounting position effects, and can be performed with the transmitter installed or from the bench. Since this correction maintains the slope of the characterization curve, it should not be used in place of a full trim over the full sensor range. A full trim is a two-point sensor calibration where two end-point pressures are applied, and all output is linearized between them.
NOTE Select pressure input values so that the low and high values are equal to or outside the 4 and 20 mA points. Do not attempt to obtain reverse output by reversing the high and low points. The transmitter allows approximately a 5% URL deviation from the characterized curve established at the factory.
7. Select “OK” at the “Setting fld dev output to 20 mA” prompt, and repeat Steps 5 and 6 until the reference meter value equals the transmitter output value. Select “OK” after you return the control loop to automatic control. Scaled Digital to Analog Trim HART Comm.
4. Check the current meter installed in the test loop to verify that it reads the value you commanded the transmitter to output. If the readings do not match, the transmitter requires an output trim or the current meter is malfunctioning.

NOTE The transmitter is set to address 0 at the factory, allowing it to operate in the standard point-to-point manner with a 4–20 mA output signal. To activate multidrop communication, you must change the transmitter address to a number from 1 to 15. This change deactivates the 4–20 mA analog output, locking it to 4 mA.
Failure to follow safe commissioning guidelines can cause death or serious injury. Please review the following safety messages before commissioning a Model PX2088 Pressure Transmitter. To avoid explosions, do not remove the instrument cover or make electrical connections in explosive atmospheres when the circuit is alive.
COMMISSION: ON THE BENCH OR IN THE LOOP Commission the Model PX2088 Analog transmitter before or after installation. It may be useful to commission the transmitter on the bench before installation to ensure proper operation and to avoid exposing the transmitter electronics to the plant environment.
FIGURE 3-2. Transmitter Terminal and Electronics Compartments. TERMINAL ELECTRONICS COMPARTMENT COMPARTMENT Potentiometer Test Terminals Selector Switch Negative Terminal Test Terminal ZERO AND SPAN ADJUSTMENTS Adjustment controls for zero and span are located in the transmitter electronics compartment. Calibrate the transmitter with the three-position switch and the ¾-turn potentiometer (see Figure 3-2).
Potentiometer Adjustment The procedure for calibrating the Model PX2088 is different from that of any other pressure transmitters and takes some time to become accustomed to. However, this method of calibration is considerably faster than other calibration methods. In addition, there is no interaction between the zero and span adjustments.
The selector switch should not be set to the “Z” position unless the potentiometer will be adjusted. Failure to adjust the potentiometer while in the “Z” position will result in erroneous transmitter output during an overpressure event, and a shift in calibration after the overpressure event.
This section contains a flowchart (Figure 4-1 on Page 4-2), installation procedures, and a wiring diagram (Figure 4-8 on Page 4-10), to guide you to a successful Model PX2088 installation. Shielded cable should be used for best results in electrically noisy environments.

The Model PX2088 weighs approximately 2.0 pounds (0.9 kg). In many cases, its compact size and light weight makes it possible to mount the Model PX2088 directly t the impulse line without using an additional mounting bracket. When this is not desirable, mount directly to a wall, panel, or two-inch pipe using the optional mounting bracket (see Figure 4-3).

(Security Jumpers are Available with Smart Transmitters Only) Failure Mode As part of normal operation, the Model PX2088 Smart continuously monitors its own operation. This automatic diagnostic routine is a timed series of checks repeated continuously. If the diagnostic routine detects a failure in the transmitter, the transmitter drives its output either below or above specific values depending on the position of the failure mode jumper or switch.
ZERO AND SPAN ADJUSTMENTS Smart The Model PX2088 Smart is equipped with local zero and span adjustment buttons. The buttons are located on the top of the transmitter beneath the certifications label. Use the zero and span adjustments to set the 4 and 20 mA output points.
Rerange Procedure To rerange the transmitter using the span and zero buttons, perform the following procedure. 1. Loosen the screw holding the nameplate on top of the transmitter housing and rotate the nameplate to expose the zero and span buttons (see Figure 4-11). 2.
