RELATIVE PRESSURE TRANSMITTER
INSTRUCTIONS MANUAL
V1.0x I

PRESENTATION

NP640 positive relative pressure transmitter are robust and reliable devices suitable for industrial applications. Its great differential lies in the fact that it is possible to set its operating range easily and quickly.
With the aid of software, you have access to various information about the transmitter and can define the most suitable configuration for your process.

PRECAUTION

Before operating the transmitter, you should carefully read the specifications and instructions for use. In case of damage caused by incorrect operation or misuse, the arranty becomes null and void.
The installation must be carried out by a specialized professional.
The power supply to the electronic instruments must come from a proper instrumentation network.

UNPACKING

After unpacking, besides the transmitter, you should find:

• An installation and operation guide.
• A sealed electrical connector.
• A screw to attach the connector to the transmitter.

IDENTIFICATION

The identification label is attached to the body of the transmitter. On this label, you will find information that allows you to recognize the device.
The figure below shows the identification label and details its information:

≥ 16 bar: Sealed relative pressure with 1 bar reference pressure.
*Maximum Range (Max. Range) ():**

0.4 MPa (4 bar / 58.02 psi)
1 MPa (10 bar / 145.04 psi)
1.6 MPa (16 bar/ 232.06 psi)
2.5 MPa (25 bar / 362.59 psi)
4 MPa (40 bar / 580.15 psi)| 4 value toe upper times of the measurement range
6 MPa (60 bar / 870.20 psi)
10 MPa (100 bar / 1450.38 psi)
16 MPa (160 bar / 2320.60 psi)
25 MPa (250 bar / 3625.94 psi)| 1.5 times the value of the maximum measurement range| 3 times the upper value of the measurement range

Installation Recommendations

• Input signal conductors should run through the plant separately from output and supply conductors. If possible, in grounded conduits.
• The electronic instruments power supply must come from a proper instrumentation network.
• It is mandatory the use of RC FILTERS (electrical noise suppressors) in contactor coils, solenoids, etc.
• To improve the stability, immunity, and safety of the measurement, it is recommended to use the system grounding.

CONFIGURATION

To use the device in its factory configuration, no intervention is necessary. It can be installed immediately.
To configure it, use the Transmitter Configuration Kit. This kit includes the TxConfig-II software, distributed free of charge on NOVUS website, and the TxConfig-USB-DIN43650 interface, which can be purchased in our distribution and reseller network.
To install the TxConfig-II software, run the setup file TxConfigIISetup.exe and follow the installer instructions.
The TxConfig interface must be connected to the transmitter, as shown in the figure below. The interface provides the power supply necessary for the transmitter configuration operation.

SOFTWARE CONFIGURATION

When you run the TxConfig-II software, it will automatically recognize the transmitter and will display the following fields:

1. General Information:
   This field contains data that identifies the transmitter. For consultation, this information should be submitted to the manufacturer.

2. Unit:
   Definition of the pressure unit adopted in the measurement range definition fields.

3. Measurement Range:
   Definition of the measurement range adopted by the transmitter.
   Lower Limit: Target pressure value for 4 mA current.
   Upper Limit: Target pressure value for 20 mA current.
   Minimum Range: It is not possible to set a span lower than the
   Minimum Range value indicated below in this same field.

4. Sensor Failure: Establishes the behavior of the current output when the transmitter malfunctions:
   Minimum: Output current goes to < 4 mA.
   Maximum: Output current goes to > 20 mA.

5. Zero Offset: When no pressure is applied, corrects for small deviations in the transmitter output current.

6. Send Configuration: Sends the configuration made. Once sent, the configuration will be immediately adopted by the transmitter.

7. Read Configuration: Reads the transmitter setup. The screen will display the current setting, which you can change.
