P29 Instruction Manual Purpose of instruction manual This instruction manual describes the features of the P29 and provides guidelines for its use. Improper use of this instrument or failure to follow these instructions may cause injury or equipment damage. Every person who uses this device must therefore read the manual and understand the possible risks.
During operation, both pressure ports must be connected to the pressurized system. The P29 has been subjected to an ignition hazard analysis according to DIN EN 1127-1:2019. Under normal operating conditions, there is no explosive atmosphere in the transducer.
Although the P29 pressure transducer is highly robust, it is nevertheless a precision instrument and should be handled with care. Avoid mounting the P29 in the direct vicinity of any sources of heat or radiation. Ideally, the instrument should be mounted vertically on a wall not subject to vibration.
P29 Instruction Manual 2.6 Symbols The symbols given below are used throughout this manual to indicate instances when improper operation could result in the following hazards: WARNING! This warns you of a potential hazard that could lead to bodily injury up to and including death if the corresponding instructions are not followed.
P29 Instruction Manual Start-up, maintenance, shipping Caution: Explosion hazard! Flush the system for the required period of time before start-up! 3.1 Start-up Carefully read and follow the start-up instructions listed below. Failure to follow these instructions can lead to an explosion in the instrument and injury to persons.
If necessary, the user can carry out regular leak tests as a simple pressure test. For the leak test, shut off the two pressure lines to the P29 and note the initial pressure (display or output signal). Observe the differential pressure for 1 minute. The differential pressure must not drop over this period.
P29 Instruction Manual Instrument description 4.1 Features The P29 is controlled by a microprocessor and can perform the following tasks: Measurement of differential pressure Measurement of volumetric flow, mass flow and flow rate using the orifice plate Display of a measured value ...

P29 Instruction Manual 4.5 Readout of volume, mass flow and flow velocity With square-root extracted output signal, the assignment of differential pressure volume, mass flow or flow velocity can be set via the serial interface with a PC software or, for instruments with display, via the menu using the four keys in the top cover.
It is irrelevant whether the zero point adjustment has been deactivated or the P29 is in the menu mode. Overload capacity The P29 has an internal overpressure safeguard that protects the precision pressure measurement capsule from damage: ...
The output voltage or currents are then copied to this scaled range. The scaled range should always be more than 0.1 times of that of the P29’s measuring range, because otherwise the resolution of the outputs and the accuracy will be poorer.
7.2.1.2 Bottom With this menu item, you can set the pressure at which the output will achieve its minimum value. Any value within the P29’s measuring range can be selected. 7.2.1.3 Unit Use this menu item to select the pressure unit. The following pressure units can be selected: ...
7.3 Warning INFORMATION: For safety reasons, relay outputs are not possible with the P29. However, exceeding or falling below the switching thresholds can be signalled visually and acoustically. Use this menu item to set the warning values. The first menu item that appears here is Select Warning Message (1 or 2).
P29 Instruction Manual Hysteresis This item can be used to select the hysteresis for the particular warning. The action described in 7.3.1 applies to the entry unit. The hysteresis is always positive. Tv delay time The entry value of the warning is derived from the unfiltered pressure value. With this parameter, you can now specify how long the pressure value can be exceeded or not met until the warning is activated.
P29 Instruction Manual Output With this parameter, you can select the output and output range. You can choose from the following options: 4 … 20 mA -5V … +5V 0 … 20 mA 0V … 10V...
P29 Instruction Manual Contrast This parameter adjusts the contrast of the display. This makes it possible to compensate for different temperatures or viewing angles. Values between 0 (low contrast) and 32 (high contrast) are possible. Read factory settings The factory settings are established in the instrument before delivery. With this menu item, they can be reactivated if required.
