EN.IO.APC.APR.ALW.SFT INTRODUCTION 1.1. Purpose of the document The subject of manual are smart pressure transmitters APC-2000ALW Safety and smart differential pressure transmitters APR-2000ALW Safety, hereinafter referred jointly APC(R)-2000ALW Safety or transmitters. The manual applies to the following versions: standard, PED, flameproof Exd (XP), intrinsically safe Exi (IS). -
Page 8: Definitions And Abbreviations
EN.IO.APC.APR.ALW.SFT 1.3. Definitions and abbreviations Table 1. Definitions and abbreviations Item Abbr. Meaning “Lower Range Value” – the value of the set range expressed in physical units corresponding to the current of 4,000 mA, i.e. 0% of the output setpoint. The set range cannot exceed the set range limits. -
Page 9: Transmitter Set Range
EN.IO.APC.APR.ALW.SFT 1.4. Transmitter set range The figure below shows the transmitter set range and limits related to allowable set range, digital pro- cessing range and saturation limits of A/D pressure measurement transducer. As standard, values of 4 mA / 20 mA currents are assigned to LRV/URV points. In order to obtain reverse characteristics, it is possible to reverse the assignment so that the LRV/URV points are assigned to 20 mA / 4 mA currents. -

GUARANTEE General terms and conditions of guarantee are available on the manufacturer’s website: www.aplisens.com/ogolne_warunki_gwarancji. The guarantee shall be repealed if the device is used against its intended use, failure to comply with user’s manual or interference with the structure of the device. -

Symbols occurring on the transmitter nameplate... -
Page 12: Installation
EN.IO.APC.APR.ALW.SFT INSTALLATION 6.1. General recommendations In order to avoid measurement errors caused by the accumulation of condensate (in gas installations) or gas bubbles (in liquid installations) in impulse lines, assembly solutions using constructions based on available engineering knowledge should be used. For a gas- eous medium, this may mean installing the transmitters above the pressure measuring point, and for liquids below this point. -
Page 13: Installation Instructions For Transmitters With Distance Separators
EN.IO.APC.APR.ALW.SFT 6.1.2. Installation instructions for transmitters with distance separators The protection of the separator diaphragm can only be removed shortly before installation. Hydrostatic pressure of the manometric liquid column in the transmitter-separator system may cause incorrect indication of the measured value. After installation, the transmitter must be pressure-reset. Do not clean or touch the separator diaphragms using hard or pointy objects. -
Page 14: Electrical Connection
EN.IO.APC.APR.ALW.SFT ELECTRICAL CONNECTION 7.1. Cable connection to transmitter internal terminals All connection and installation operations must be performed with disconnected supply voltage and other external voltages, if used. Failure to provide proper connection of the transmitter may result in danger. Risk of electric shock and/or ignition in potentially explosive atmospheres. -
Page 15: Connection Of Transmitter With The Option Of Using Local Hart Communication
EN.IO.APC.APR.ALW.SFT 7.1.2. Connection of transmitter with the option of using local HART communication The transmitter allows to use the local HART communication. To do this you can use a HART commu- nicator unit or modem connected to a computer or a smartphone. In order to establish the local communication, it is necessary to: −... - Page 16 Exi (IS) and flameproof Exd (XP) ver- sions of the transmitters.

Page 17: Transmitter Power Supply
0,5 to 5 mm 7.2.4. Cabling specification Aplisens S.A. recommends using two-wire screened twisted pair cable. The outer diameter of the cable shell from 5 to 9 mm is recommended. 7.2.5. Resistance load in power supply line The power line resistance, power source resistance and other additional serial resistances increase the voltage drops between the power source and the transmitter terminals. -
Page 18: Equipotential Bonding
EN.IO.APC.APR.ALW.SFT 7.3. Equipotential bonding When using an intrinsically safe transmitter with an additional overvoltage protection, having the desig- nation “SA version” on the plate, the transmitter should be powered from a galvanically separated power source or, if this is not possible, equipotential bonding of the transmitter and the power supply device should be ensured by means of equipotential bonding conductors. -
Page 19: Start-Up
EN.IO.APC.APR.ALW.SFT START-UP As standard, the transmitter is adjusted to a set range equal to the base range, unless a specific set range is provided in the order. The base range and the basic unit of the transmitter can be read out from its nameplate (➔... -
Page 20: Configuration Of Operating Mode
EN.IO.APC.APR.ALW.SFT The transmitter diagnostics continually tests the environmental parameters: − temperature of the pressure measurement structure sensor; − temperature of the ADC transducer converting the electric signal from the pressure sensor to the digital value of measurement; − temperature of the CPU structure (transmitter's main microcontroller). If the transmitter operating temperature limits are exceeded, the diagnostics will trigger an alarm I_AL <... -
