Check if the specifications of the transmitter meet the needs of the process conditions When the PLATINUM SERIES PP55 or CP55 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 PP55 or CP55 transmitters are solid-state pressure- and level 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 PP55 or CP55 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.
6 Construction and function The PLATINUM SERIES PP55 or CP55 transmitters are solid-state pressure- and level transmitters based upon a piezoresistive silicon sensor, with a very high burst pressure. The sensor element is mounted in a stainless steel foot.
⑦ Electronics housing St.St. 304 * As standard the PLATINUM SERIES PP55 or CP55 will be supplied with two cable entries M20 x 1,5. A cable gland can be supplied by request (extra costs). 6.2 Cleanline transmitter PLATINUM SERIES CP55 The CP55 are specially designed with a flush mounted diaphragm so they fully meet the needs of the food, pharma and chemical industries.

Prepare the hole by bevelling the edge to accept filler material. Remove the weld-on nipple from the transmitter. Remove the PTFE packing of the Cleanline transmitter PLATINUM SERIES CP55 Remove the gasket and O-ring out of the weld-on nipple! Improper installation may result in distortion of the weld-on nipple.
8.8 Rotable Display The display from PLATINUM SERIES PP55 or CP55 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.

12.2 P102 Span Adjustment (Span, 20 mA) This setting can be used to adjust the range (SPAN) according to an entered value or adjusted with or without an applied pressure. The maximum pressure which can be measured (20 mA) is the measurement at ZERO (P101) + the entered value SPAN (P102).
3. Navigate through this menu and choose the required unit, push to confirm. 4. The Save icon will be displayed to indicate that the setting is saved. The transmitter will return to the main menu, the measured reading will be displayed in the chosen unit in the home screen.
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 PP55 or CP55 pressure transmitter cannot compensate for Specific Gravity changes or any thermal increase or decrease.
12.10 P110 Simulation of current (4-20 mA) The transmitter can simulate an output between 4-20 mA. Using five predefined steps or a free selectable value between 3,80 mA to 20,8 mA (Transmitters with HART® Protocol 3,90 mA to 20,8 mA) 1.

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 PP55 or CP55 pressure transmitter.

5. Two choices appear on the screen: Input and Simulate 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.
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 PP55 or CP55 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 PP55 or CP55 can be easily programmed with the Hand Held Terminal (HHT) from the "HART Foundation" (type 275 or 375 Hart Communicator).
® Option 2: HART Handheld terminal connected across the loop resistor. Power 17 – 36 Vdc Supply 250 Ω 14 Servicing The device is maintenance-free. However, to ensure reliable operation and a long lifetime for the device, we recommend that it is checked regularly. 14.1 Safety When undertaking servicing work on the device, the pressure lines must be depressurized, the electrical connections isolated from the mains supply, and the plant secured against being switched on again.
Please help to protect the environment and dispose of or recycle the devices and components used in accordance with the applicable regulations. 17 Appendix 17.1 Data sheet for PLATINUM SERIES PP55 and CP55 Detailed data sheet is available from supplier’s website (see Section 1.7 Manufacturer’s address, customer services) This Table refers to specific documents:...
