DTR.APCE.APRE.02 (ENG) Appendix Ex.02 6. How to connect Ex transmitters Connection between transmitter and other devices in the measuring loop should be made in accordance with the requirements of intrinsically safe standards and instructions for use in hazard areas. Non-compliance with the intrinsic safety requirements may cause the transmitter to explode and hazard to human safety and health.
(ENG) 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1. This User Manual is intended for users of APCE–2000, APCE-2000G smart pressure transmitters, APRE–2000, APRE–2000G smart differential pressure transmitters. The instruction contains the data and guidelines necessary to understand the functioning of the transmitters and how to operate them.
Communication via HART transmission protocol and signal 4…20 mA. For this purpose KAP-03, KAP-03Ex communicator or APLISENS converters: HART/RS232 or HART/USB Converter, or other HART converter and your PC with Report 2 program (see p.10.2.4). Resistance required for HART communication min.240...

After processing, the digital signal is converted into an analogue 4÷20mA current signal, with a superimposed digital communication signal. For communication with the transmitter via analog signal line the Aplisens KAP communicator, or a PC computer meeting the requirements given in 10.2.4, is used.
DTR.APCE.APRE.02 (ENG) 6.3. Casing, Electrical Connections APCE..., APRE... transmitters are cased in an Ø51 pipe with a PD (DIN 43650) or PZ type connector. 6.3.1. The PD type connector (figure 3) is located on the top of the casing (Ø51 pipe) and sealed with a rubber washer.
DTR.APCE.APRE.02 (ENG) 7.4 Electrostatic hazards Plastic rating plate and teflon on the diaphragm seals are non-conductive layer applied on conductive surface. Transmitters in this version should be installed in locations with no possibility of electrostatic charging. In particular through contact with electrified dust falling or exhaled from devices operating nearby. For Exi version are valid data by Appendix Ex.02.
This effect can be reduced by ensuring that the lines run side by side. The APRE-2000G transmitter can also be fitted with an adapter (Figure 14) creating a C-type connector, designed for installation on a 3-valve or 5-valve manifold. Aplisens can also supply transmitters ready mounted on valves.
In the case of unprotected transmitters, external protective devices may be used, e.g. the UZ-2 system produced by Aplisens, or others. When the transmission lines are long, it is advantageous to use one protective device near the transmitter (or inside it), and another near entry points to other devices used in conjunction with it.
The transmitter may also be calibrated, by taking readings with the input pressure controlled using a standard device. This process and zero-point adjustments are called “Calibration”. 10.2.4. Configuration and Calibration of the transmitter are carried out using an Aplisens KAP-03 communicator, certain HART communicators or a PC with HART/RS232 or HART/USB Converter and Aplisens Raport 2 software.

DTR.APCE.APRE.02 (ENG) 11. SERVICES AND SPARE PARTS. 11.1. Periodic service Periodic service should be made in accordance with the user regulations. During service, the pressure connectors should be checked for loose connections and leaks, the diaphragm seals should be checked for tarnishing and corrosion, and the electrical connectors should be checked with regard to tightness the state of the gaskets, packing glands, and.
The manufacturer reserves the right to make constructional and technological changes which do not lower the quality of the transmitters. 15.1.
