Safety Instructions Pressure Sensor Holder The device must be attached to the system using a pressure sensor holder. The pressure sensor holder is used to fix the device securely to the system. If the device is secured without a pressure sensor holder or with an unsuitable pressure sensor holder: The device may become loose during the process.
Device Description Multi-use Pressure Transmitter The multi-use pressure transmitter converts the pressure of the operating medium in the single-use pressure pipe into an electrical signal, which can be transmitted to a process controller. The transmitter also carries out a temperature compensation and correction of the signal. Fig. 2: Multi-use pressure transmitter Pos .
Device Description Single-use Pressure Pipe Fig. 3: Single-use pressure pipe ½” HB, view from front and rear (example) Pos . Designation Description Mounting bracket Secures the single-use pressure pipe to, or releases it from, the multi-use pressure transmitter. Tubing connections Is intended to connect a tube. Upper fixing clip Surrounds the sensor connection.
Device Description Measuring Principle The BioPAT Pressure sensor uses the piezoresistive effect for accurate and ® quick pressure determination. As soon as the single-use pressure pipe is installed on the transmitter, the silicone membrane of the single-use pressure pipe is in contact with the metal membrane of the multi-use transmitter. During measurement, in the event of pressure fluctuations force is applied to the membranes, which is detected by a piezoresistive pressure sensor in the multi-use transmitter.
Installation Installation Scope of Delivery Item Quantity Multi-use Pressure Transmitter Cable with open ends, 5 m Test report Operating Instructions Selecting an Installation Site Procedure Make sure that the following conditions are met at the installation site: Condition Requirements Mounting surface Sufficient installation space is available for the device and the mounted components e.g., tubes, pressure sensor holder (for space required for the device, see Chapter 13, page 29; for space required for the components, see the instructions...
Installation Unpacking Procedure Unpack the device. Install the device at the intended installation site. We recommend keeping the original packaging including the protective cap to return the device securely and appropriately, e.g., for repairs. Acclimatizing When a cold device is brought into a warm environment: The temperature difference can lead to condensation (moisture formation) from humidity in the device.
NOTICE Tools can damage the device! If a tool is used in the wrong place: The device may be damaged. Only apply the open-ended wrench to the mounting nut. Qualification required: Electrician | Sartorius Service Tool: Open-ended wrench, 42 mm Requirements — The pressure sensor holder is mounted on the system. — The device is not connected to a system.
Getting Started Connecting to the System 5.2.1 Sartorius Systems If the multi-use pressure transmitter is being connected to a Sartorius system controller, e.g., FlexAct COM: The supplied open-ended ® connection cable is not required. The device must be connected to the controller of the Sartorius system by Sartorius Service. Please contact Sartorius Service.
Process Preparation Process Preparation Checking the Transmitter Membrane Procedure WARNING Risk of injury due to damaged transmitter membrane! If the device is used with a damaged transmitter membrane: The accuracy of the pressure measurement cannot be guaranteed. Open the protective cap. Check the transmitter membrane for damage, e.g., cracks or dents. If required: Replace the device.
Process Preparation Performing Zero Point Calibration The contact between the transmitter membrane and the membrane of the single-use pressure pipe generates a certain offset pressure, which is specific for each single-use pressure pipe. In order to guarantee an accurate measurement of the actual relative pressure in the process: The zero point calibration can be performed in the controller of the connected system or via accessories. If the hydrostatic pressure also needs to be recorded: Perform the zero point calibration when the system is full of air. Procedure Fill the tubes with air/liquid.
Operation Operation Monitoring the Process Depending on the operating conditions and hazard potential of the operating media, hazards may arise during the process, e.g., in the event of malfunctions of the device. Procedure In order to avoid hazards for the user and damage to the device: Monitor the pressure sensor during the process (visual check). WARNING Danger of injury from escaping operating medium! Leaking operating medium can cause injuries, e.g., chemical burns.

If required: Push the gaskets into the groove. Check the gaskets in the mounting nut and in the transmitter head for damage, e.g., cracks or pressure sites. If required: Please contact Sartorius Service. Check the gaskets and the protective cap for dirt. If required: Wipe the gaskets and protective cap with a damp cloth. Apply the mounting nut (3) to the device.
Decommissioning 10 Decommissioning NOTICE Damage to the connection lines! If the signal connection loosens from the device: The exposed connection cables may be damaged, e.g., by being clamped. Carefully position the signal connection on the device and hold in place. NOTICE Tools can damage the device! If a tool is used in the wrong place: The device may be damaged. Only apply the open-ended wrench to the mounting nut. Qualification required: Electrician Tool:...
