INSTALATION
4.1 MECHANIC INSTALATION
The NP785 Ultra Low Differential Pressure Transmitter is designed to have its
housing fixed to a 35 mm DIN rail, as shown in Fig. 02. The 35 mm DIN rail
installation must be carried out after the device has been configured.
Installation recommendations:
- The pneumatic hoses must be installed after the device has been fitted to the 35 mm DIN rail.
- In order to avoid problems with condensation, the device must be installed above the point to be measured.
- The extension of the hoses does not affect the device accuracy. Very long hoses, however, can result in measurement delays.
- Hoses should not be bent or sharp curves should not be taken. Such actions may result in airflow interruption and possible sensor reading blockage.
The hose do not come with the device.
Overpressure: Excessive pressure, which exceeds the NP785 Ultra Low
Differential Pressure Transmitter capacity, can cause irreversible mechanical
and electrical damage to the device. In order to avoid damaging the operator
or the device installer, follow the installation instructions and use the
appropriate protection and device.
4.1.1 DIMENSION
Fig. 04 shows the dimensions of the device:
4.2 ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION
4.2.1 RECOMMENDATIONS FOR INSTALLATION
- Signal conductors should run through the plant separately from the power supply and output conductors. If possible, in grounded conduits.
- The power supply for electronic instruments must come from an appropriate grid for instruments.
- RC FILTERS (noise suppressor) are recommended in contactor coils, solenoids, etc.
- In control applications, it’s essential to consider what could happen when some part of the system fails. The device’s internal devices do not ensure total protection.
- Grounding helps limit the effects of noise due to electromagnetic interference (EMI). Run the grounding connection by using the grounding bolt and the grounding plane before turning on the device.
4.2.2 SPECIAL PRECAUTION
Because it is an electronic module, the device needs some care when handling:
- Due to the risk of damage caused by static electricity and may occur if the electronic circuit is exposed, the device should not be opened.
- Pay close attention when connecting the wires.
- Remember to pass all wires through a cable clip before completing electrical connections.
- When closing the housing, the cover should be placed again properly, ensuring proper sealing for this device.

4.2.4 USB CONNECTION
The USB connection is used exclusively for the device diagnosis and
configuration. The USB interface is on the NP785 Ultra Low Differential
Pressure Transmitter side.
It is recommended that the device be configured before it is attached to the
DIN rail.
For more information, check the USB Interface chapter.
CONFIGURATION
The NP785 Ultra Low Differential Pressure Transmitter is configurable by any
of its interfaces. Due to the ease of use of the interface, it is recommended
to configure via USB using the NXperience software, but the device can also
be configured via Modbus RTU by writing directly in their configuration
registers.
The description of the device registers, together with the configuration
tables, can be found in the Serial Communication chapter.
5.1 GENERAL CONFIGURATION
The purchase of the pressure value is done in digital analogue analysis
solutions of the internal sensor of the device. You can select the pressure
unit to be used from the following options: mbar, mpsi, in H2O, mm H2O or Pa.
Changes in this setting cause transmission limits and alarm set points to be
reverted to the default values, which are the operating limits of the device.
The device also has an Offset function and an internal digital filter for
treatment of the measured signal. An offset value can be set, which will be
described on the selected pressure unit, to make small adjustments to the
output value. The digital filter allows you to set a time interval, in
seconds, to reduce the occurrence of noise effects and peaks of pressure over
a faster response.
It is also possible to configure the Modbus RTU communication parameters, such
as Baud Rate, parity and slave address of the device.
For purposes of differentiation between units of the same model, an identifier
can be configured in the device.
For testing purposes, the device supports forcing differential pressure
measurement, analog output and alarm output. For each of these cases, you can
configure a value to be forced and enable or disable the forcing.
5.2 ALARM CONFIGURATION
The NP785 Ultra Low Differential Pressure Transmitter has a digital alarm
output. The digital output will be activated whenever an alarm situation is
satisfied, except in particular cases defined by some of its settings.
You can configure the alarm operation mode, high and low set points,
hysteresis value, state transition timers, error condition and initial
blocking.
Alarm configuration can be performed using the NXperience software (see the
Output Parameter section ), allowing different modes of operation:
- Off: No alarm situation is active.
- Sensor Error: While there is some error reading the sensor, the alarm output will remain on.
- Below Lower Setpoint: The alarm output will be triggered when the current pressure is lower than the lower set point. To exit the alarm condition, the differential pressure must be greater than the lower set point plus the hysteresis value.
- Above Higher Setpoint: The alarm output will be triggered when the differential pressure is higher than the upper set point. To exit the alarm condition, the differential pressure must be lower than the lower set point minus the hysteresis value.
- Intra-range: The alarm output will be activated when the differential pressure is higher than the lower set point and lower than the upper set point. To exit the alarm condition, the differential pressure must be greater than the upper set point plus the hysteresis value or lower than the lower set point minus the hysteresis value.
- Extra-range: The alarm output will be activated when the differential pressure is higher than the set point higher or lower than the lower set point. To exit the alarm condition, the differential pressure must be less than the upper set point minus the hysteresis value and higher than the lower set point plus the hysteresis value.
In addition to the alarm operation modes, other parameters, which do not apply to the Sensor Error mode, can be configured to refine the behavior of the alarm output:
- Initial Blocking: This parameter determines the use of the alarm output lock soon after the device is started. After initialization, a non-alarm condition is required for the alarm output to be enabled.
- Error Condition: The status of this parameter determines whether the alarm output will remain on or off in case of sensor failure.
- Hysteresis: This parameter stores the pressure value that, with the values of the set points, determines the limit value to leave the alarm situation. Fig. 07 shows the conditions for alarm activation and deactivation.
The alarm output can be timed by means of the Time On and Time Off parameters.
For a given state transition to occur, the device must remain in the new state
for a period of time equal to the one configured in the respective transition
parameter. These values are initialized to 0 by default.
Extra-range mode is the default mode of alarm output. The default values of
the set points, in turn, are the operating limits of the device. Any changes
in the pressure unit configuration readjust the values of the set points to
the operating limits.
5.3 ANALOG OUTPUT CONFIGURATION
The device has a configurable analog output. You can configure it using the
NXperience software (check the Output Parameters section), and you can define:
the electrical pattern, the error mode and the excursion range of the
pressure to be transmitted.
The electrical pattern can be selected between 0-10 V and 4-20 mA modes and
the error mode determines the behavior of the analog output in case of sensor
failure, as shown in Table 03:
| Error Mode
---|---
Mode| Low| High| **Low/High*
0 – 10 V**| 0 V| 10 V| < Minimum Limit à 0 V
Sensor error à 10 V
Maximum Limit à 10 V
4 – 20 mA| 3.6 mA| 21.0 mA| < Minimum Limit à 3.6 mA
Sensor error à 21.0 mA
Maximum Limit à 21.0 mA
Table 03 – Behavior of the analog output in case of sensor failure
- Available starting with firmware version 1.20 and software version 2.0.6.02.
The excursion of the electric signal respects the values set in the configuration of the lower and upper transmission limits, which allows customizing the differential pressure range. The factory setting also defines the upper and lower limits of the sensor as the maximum operating limits of each respective model.
The device is factory set with the 4-20 mA electrical standard and the pressure unit in mbar. Any changes in the pressure unit configuration readjust the values of the transmission limits to the operating limits of the device.
USB INTERFACE
The USB interface is used for CONFIGURING or MONITORING the device.
For CONFIGURATION, you must use the NXperience software to create, view, save,
and open configurations from the device or files on your computer. The feature
to save and open configurations in files makes it possible to transfer
configurations between devices and make backup copies.
NXperience allows you to update the NP785 Ultra Low Differential Pressure
Transmitter firmware (internal software) via USB interface.
For MONITORING, any supervision (SCADA) or laboratory software that supports
Modbus RTU communication over a serial communication port can be used. When
connected to a computer USB port, NP785 Ultra Low Differential Pressure
Transmitter is recognized as a conventional serial port (COM x). Use
NXperience or refer to the Device Manager on Windows Control Panel to
identify the COM port assigned to the device.
Refer to the Modbus memory mapping in the device communication manual and its
supervision software documentation to perform MONITORING.
Follow the procedure below to use the device USB communication:
- Download NXperience from our website and install it on your computer (see chapter NXperience Software). The USB drivers required for communication will be installed along with the software.
- Connect the USB cable between the device and the computer. The device doesn’t need a power supply. The USB will provide enough power for the communication operation (other device functions may not operate).
- Launch NXperience, configure the communication and start the device recognition.
The USB interface IS NOT ISOLATED from the retransmission output and alarm
output. Its purpose is temporary use during CONFIGURATION and MONITORING
periods. For the safety of people and device, it should only be used with the
device fully disconnected from the external power supply input.
In any other situation, the USB interface use is possible, but requires a
careful analysis by the person responsible for its installation.
For MONITORING for long periods and with inputs and outputs connected, it is
recommended to use the RS485, available or optional in most of our device.
SERIAL COMMUNICATION
The NP785 Ultra Low Differential Pressure Transmitter can be recognized on an
RS485 network with Modbus RTU protocol as a slave device. All the configurable
parameters of the device can be read and/or written via serial communication.
The device supports writing in Broadcast mode, using the slave address Modbus
0.
The available Modbus commands are as follows:
03 – Read Holding Register
05 – Write Single Coil
06 – Write Single Register
16 – Write Multiple Register

- Check the Table 10 for more information about the device configuration registers.
Table 05 – NP785-05 Model: Configuration Registers Table
The registers 103 to 106, 123 to 126, 157 and 158 must be used by the user to enter the values of their respective parameters. If they are within limits, the device will automatically pass these values to registers 108 to 111, 132 to 135, 159 and 160, which show the values considered during the operation. In case of extrapolation of limits, this condition will be signaled in register 343 (HR_DIAGNOSE03).
For 32-bit data, the two registers that compose them must be read and/or written in order for the values to be updated.

8.3.2 INPUT PARAMETERS
By clicking on the icon, you can configure the pressure sensor input.
In the Unit parameter, you can select the units mbar, Mpsi, in H2O, mm H2O or
pascal. By default, the unit of device is set to mbar.
The Pressure parameter informs the differential pressure of the device when
the window opens.
The device also provides Offset and Filter adjustments, allowing not only
small corrections to the sensor readings, but also to reduce the speed of
response of the sensor.
The Automatic Zero configuration allows automatic offset adjustments. Make
sure the pressure points are depressurized and click to make the adjustment.
8.3.3 OUTPUT PARAMETERS
By clicking on the icon, you can configure the transmission analog output
and the alarm output.
8.3.3.1 TRANSMISSION OUTPUT CONFIGURATION
The Measurement parameter allows the differential pressure quantity reading.
The analog output Mode allows you to select the electrical standard to be used
for the transmission: 0-10 V or 4-20 mA. The electrical signal of the output
will be proportional to the selected magnitude, respecting the values
configured in the Lower Limit and in the Upper Limit parameters.
In case of sensor failure, the quantity to be transmitted by the analog output
will go into Error Mode. For the error condition, you must select the High,
Low or Low-High state (check Table 03).
8.3.3.2 ALARM OUTPUT CONFIGURATION
To select the alarm output to be configured, you must click on the button and
enable it by sliding the enable switch to the right.
The alarm output may be timed by the Time On and Time Off parameters.
If the equipment is configured in the Value Lower than SPLo, Value Higher than
SPHi, Inside the Range or Outside the Range modes, the Error Condition
parameter allows you to configure a safe state of the alarm output in case of
sensor failure. Thus, the output will be on or off depending on the value set
in this parameter.
Upper Limit and Lower Limit are the differential pressure values that act as
alarm activation conditions that, together with the Hysteresis, define the
barrier to be exceeded so that the channel exits the alarm situation. For
more information about the alarm configuration, check the Alarm Configuration
section.
8.3.4 DIAGNOSTICS
To access this section, the device must be connected to the USB port and the
Read Configuration option must be selected.
By clicking on the icon, you can check if the device is functioning properly
by forcing the pressure readings. You can force a value either on the sensor
reading or directly on the output.
In the input diagnostics, you can view the differential pressure instantaneous
value and force a value to it. To force a value, you must type the desired
value in the field or run the slider to the desired value within the model
pressure range and press the button.
In the output diagnostics, you can force the output in order to verify the
correct operation of the device and test the settings applied to the NP785
Differential Pressure Transmitter.
To force a value at a transmission analog output, use the slider or type de
desired value directly into the edit field and then press the button .
From this moment, the NP785 Ultra Low Differential Pressure Transmitter will
force the adjusted value into the transmission output and the button used to
perform the forcing will change to . If pressed again, the forced value will
no longer be applied to the output.
For each analogue output, it is also possible to force the transmission of an
error value by clicking the and buttons. These values depend on the mode
(0-10 V or 4-20 mA) configured for each output.
The alarm output allows forcing the condition on and off. In some cases, it is
possible that an alarm output is activated due to an alarm condition.
Thus, it may be desirable to force the off state so that it is possible to
identify any faults in the electrical installation or in the device
configuration.
The images below shows the forcing interface of the alarm output in the three
possible conditions: No forcing, forcing on ON and forcing in OFF state.
8.3.5 FINALIZATION
By clicking on the icon, you can send the configuration to the device,
save the configurations in a file, update the device firmware and configure a
password to protect it.
