Function Construction Description of functions PT series Construction The PTs of series MDT 420 x/460 x are industry standard. The main advantages are: manufactured under ISO 9001 thermal stability resistance to aggressive media insensitivity to electromagnetic radiation (EMC) liquid-filled transmission system (mercury) pressure measurements in plastic melt up to a temperature of 400°C (750°F) maximum pressure 2000 bar...

Separating diaphragm 0.15 mm thick PT series The MDT series PTs are also available as PT series. The PT types correspond to the MDT models, and the TPT types correspond to the TDT models; the number codes are identical. The PT series differs from the MDT series in that all specifications are given in US American units of measure.
If mercury is inhaled or swallowed, seek medical attention immediately. Mercury is hazardous waste and must be disposed of in accordance with applicable laws. DYNISCO will accept defective PTs. If mercury escapes, use airtight packaging! ESD sensitive component. Electrostatic discharge may damage the PT. Take ESD precautions.
Mounting hole To produce the mounting hole, use only DYNISCO machining tool kit. Drill the mounting hole as shown in figure 06. Fig. 06: Mounting hole for transmitter MDT 420 x, 460 x, 422 x, 462 x, 432 x, 463 x...

Before mounting the PT, ensure that the mounting hole is free from plastic residue. Remove plastic residue with the DYNISCO cleaning tool kit. A test bolt is included with this cleaning set. To prevent the PT from sticking permanently...
(MDT 435 x / 467 x) The connector must be easily accessible. Mount the electronics housing of the PT with the fastening clip DYNISCO P/N 200982 (included). See mounting example in figure 09. Additionally secure the flexible stem between the electronics housing with a standard cable clip.
EMC requirements. If the electrical connection is not executed as described in Chapter 6.5.1, or if cable/cable sockets / PG couplings other than those prescribed by DYNISCO are used, then DYNISCO cannot warrant compliance with EMC requirements. 6.5.1 EMC /...

Commissioning Supply voltage Calibration Zero adjustment Operation Before putting the PT into operation, make sure the PT is securely mounted and sealed. Supply voltage Using a supply voltage which is different from that stated in the technical specifications or has reversed polarity can damage the PT or cause it to malfunction.
Fig. 17: Electronics housing lid Zero adjustment Use the button in the lid of the electronics housing for adjustment. For MDT series PT reset 420 x/460 x zero at operating temperature! Remove cover screw. PT must be depressurized. Wait until a constant operating temperature is set on the pressure transducer.
Maintenance Maintenance Thermocouple replacement TDT models 28 Repair/disposal Maintenance Mounting and electrical connection of the PT must be done by specialists with EMC training, following all applicable regulations, and in pressureless, voltage-free condition with the machine switched off. The machine must be secured against being switched back on! Burn hazard! The PT must be removed with the melt in...

Thermocouple replacement TDT models A defective thermocouple is easy to replace. Loosen the hexagon socket screw at the top end of the sensor stem. Remove the defective thermocouple from the probe stem. When fitting the new thermocouple, the pressure transmitting capillary must be located in the slot of the thermocouple.
