Check if the specifications of the transmitter meet the needs of the process conditions When the PLATINUM SERIES DP55 is used as a level transmitter, be aware of the place where the transmitter is mounted. Here are some suggestions: 1.
The devices are only to be used for the intended purpose as described by the manufacturer. The PLATINUM SERIES DP55 transmitters is a high end pressure, differential pressure and flow transmitters based upon a piezoresistive silicon sensor, with a very high burst pressure. Pressure of the medium applied on a sensor element, creates a very small deflection of the silicon substrate and bridge network.
3.1 CE / EMC – Rules All PLATINUM SERIES DP55 transmitters are manufactured in accordance with the RFI / EMC directives and comply with the CE standard. All transmitters are fitted with RFI filters, which provide optimum, trouble-free operation. Our products are in conformity with EMC-Directive 2004/108/EC based on test results using harmonized standards.
6 Construction and function The PLATINUM SERIES DP55 transmitters is a high-end pressure, differential pressure and flow transmitter based upon a piezoresistive silicon sensor, with a very high burst pressure. The sensor element is mounted in a stainless steel body.
6.1 Description of PLATINUM SERIES DP55 The DP55 is specially designed as a differential pressure transmitter. The wetted parts are standard made of AISI 316L, other diaphragm materials are available, like Hastelloy C and Tantalum. The process connections are standard fitted with ¼”...

√(SQUARE ROOT) Flow measurement, for example: Orifice flanges, Pitot tubes and Venturi tubes. 7 Transport 7.1 Safety The device should be protected against the effects of knocks and impacts. The device should only be transported in the packaging provided, to protect against damage. The device should only be transported in a clean condition (free of residues of measuring media).
8.8 Rotable Display The display from PLATINUM SERIES DP55 is fully rotatable. To rotate the display, place a small screw driver into the recess on top of the display. Turn it by hand by moving the screw driver into the desired direction, use the other hand to guide this movement to avoid any damages.
9 Reading on the display When the transmitter is powered, a flash screen with the name of the transmitter PLATINUM SERIES and the software version appears for a few seconds. After this the home screen will show the measured value setting as set in the factory.

4. The transmitter will return to the main menu. *(Indication of process temperature, accuracy depending on sensor position) For measuring weight (Kg and Tons), a reliable accuracy cannot be guaranteed, the PLATINUM SERIES pressure transmitter cannot compensate for Specific Gravity changes or any thermal increase or decrease.

When the a free linearization is used for measuring weight (Kg and Tons), a reliable accuracy cannot be guaranteed due to external influences such as heat and tank wall expansion. The change of Specific Gravity due to different temperatures cannot be compensated by the PLATINUM SERIES pressure transmitter. SIMULATION After linearization is entered and saved, it is possible to perform a simulation.

6. Select Input, and push to confirm. 7. Five choices appear on the screen: Clear table: The previous entered values for linearization will be deleted. It is advisable to use this feature for each time a new linearization is configured. All entered values and dimensions of an existing / previous linearization will be erased Volume units: Select the preferred unit: Liters, Hectoliters, Kg and Tons (after linearization the unit can be changed and selected in P109).
After linearization is entered and stored, it is possible to perform a simulation. (Based on the stored linearization) The transmitter will convert the entered mWc to hectoliters. The PLATINUM SERIES can be delivered with a special setting of the software, enabling the display to show a reading in weight.

17 Vdc must be used. 13.1 Programming with the hand held terminal The PLATINUM SERIES DP55 can be easily programmed with the Hand Held Terminal (HHT) from the "HART Foundation" (type 275 or 375 Hart Communicator).
14.2 Check on function, and recalibration The check on function and recalibration is carried out at regular intervals, depending on the application. The precise testing cycles should be adjusted in line with the operating conditions and ambient conditions. In the event of various device components interacting, the operating instructions for all other devices should also be taken into account.
