5.8 Wiring Connections for External HHT/ Ammeter PAS Pressure Transmitter can also be commissioned using a HART® enable HHT or PC configuration either before or after installation. A complete commissioning consists of configuring and/ or verifying transmitter configuration data, testing the transmitter, testing the loop and zero trimming.
6. Installation 6.1 Overview The information in this chapter 6 covers installation considerations. Dimensional drawings for Model PAS variation and mounting configuration are included in this chapter. 6.2 Safety Message Procedures and instructions in this chapter may require special precautions ensure the safety of the personnel performing the operation.
Pressure Support Maintenance Do you satisfy Spec? Field Install a) Select correct location b) Connect signal leads c) Check grounding d) Connect Power Supply e) Process Leak Check f) Verify values [Figure 6-1 Commissioning Flow Chart] PAS K1710522 page 33...
6.5 General Considerations The PAS transmitter uses a piezoresistive pick up. As changes in pressure are accurately detected, any zero shift or installation offsets will be transmitted as a pressure change on the 4~20 mA analogue current output. Hence it is recommended that the transmitter be mounted as close to the process as possible and use short impulse piping, when possible, to achieve best accuracy.
(5) Ensure loose contacts are eliminated and proper wiring connections are maintained. (6) After wiring replace transmitter cover. In case of explosion proof areas, you must satisfy all requirements to maintain certification requirements. PAS K1710522 page 35...

For an intrinsically safe operation, an appropriate intrinsically safe (IS) safety barrier should be used. The IS safety barrier should have an appropriate approval and placed outside the hazardous area (in non-hazardous area).

7. On-line Operation 7.1 Overview This chapter describes configuration functions of PAS smart pressure Transmitter. Transmitter can be configured in either On-Line or Off-Line mode. In On-Line configuration mode, you must connect through an external HHT (Hand ® Held Terminal) supporting HART DDL technologies.
7.4.1 Process Variable The PAS Smart pressure transmitter measures two variables. Primary Variable is always the process pressure measured and SV (Secondary Variable) is the temperature. Note: Temperature measured is used strictly for internal compensation. Only PV value can be assigned to current output on a 4~20mA loop.

8.4 Hardware Maintenance KOBOLD PAS Smart Transmitters have no moving parts and require a minimum of scheduled maintenance. Both transmitters feature modular design for easy maintenance. If you suspect a malfunction, check for an external cause before performing the diagnostics as discussed later in this section. If you must return failed transmitters or parts, send them to KOBOLD Messring GmbH for inspection, repair, or replacement.
