INTRODUCTION BAROsense is a barometric transmitter equipped with a precision piezo-resistive pressure sensor with integrated temperature sensor. The pressure and temperature measurements are digitally processed to obtain a pressure output value compensated over the whole transmitter temperature operating range. The sensor is factory calibrated in multiple points and has excellent time stability and re- peatability.
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS Barometric pressure Sensor Piezoresistive Measuring range 300…1100 hPa Configurable for the analog output: default 600…1100 hPa Resolution See table below Accuracy ± 0.5 hPa (700...1100 hPa) @ 20 °C ±1 hPa (500…1100 hPa) / ±1.5 hPa (300…500 hPa) @ T=(0…60 °C) Long-term stability <...

Materials Transmitter: Polycarbonate, pressure input in nickel-plated brass Static port (optional): ASA Support bracket: Aluminium alloy Housing dimensions 120 x 80 x 55 Weight 250 g approx. 570 g approx. the static port with support bracket Protection degree IP65 Units of measurement available and corresponding resolution With the MODBUS-RTU protocol, two different input registers are available for the pressure measurement, with different resolution: IR 0 (32-bit) and IR 2 (16-bit).
3 INSTALLATION The transmitter is wall mounted using the two holes on the back (open the cover to access the holes and the terminal header for electrical connections). Ø4.4 (2x) Fig. 3.1: fixing holes It is advisable to mount the transmitter so that the pressure input is facing down- wards, in order to reduce the accumulation of dust and dirt on the input.
3.1 E LECTRICAL CONNECTIONS The transmitter has an internal screw terminal header. Cable gland Pressure input Fig. 3.3: internal terminal header and selection jumpers Terminal N° Function RS485 D- RS485 D+ Power supply positive (+Vdc) Analog output (OUT) The analog output, if present, can be in current or voltage, configurable via the jump- er to the right of the terminal header.

4 CONFIGURATION AND MEASUREMENT The configuration of the instrument and the reading of the measurements can be done via the RS485 serial output, both with the proprietary protocol and with the MODBUS- RTU protocol. In the first 10 seconds after the instrument power on, it is always active the proprie- tary protocol.
5 ASCII PROPRIETARY PROTOCOL To use the ASCII proprietary protocol, it is necessary to connect the instrument to the PC via a RS485/USB or RS485/RS232 converter and use a standard serial communica- tion program. In the serial communication program, set the COM port number to which the instrument is connected and the communication parameters as follows: •...

6 MODBUS-RTU PROTOCOL By default, the instrument has MODBUS address 1 and communication parameters 19200, 8E1. The address and the communication parameters can be changed by using the appropriate serial commands of the proprietary protocol or, alternatively, directly with MODBUS commands by changing the value of the Coils and Holding Registers de- scribed later.
