This would otherwise damage those transducers with low measuring ranges.
Measurement errors may occur should the appliance not be protected from
sunlight.
Specific safety instructions are given in the individual chapters.
1.3 Malfunctions, Maintenance, Repairs, Disposal
Malfunctions which cannot be put right as specified in Chapter 8 and damage at
the appliance itself must be immediately reported to the qualified personnel
with responsibility for the electrical connections.
The appliance must be taken out of service by the qualified personnel
responsible until the malfunction has been put right and also secured against
being unintentionally
used.
Always switch off the power to the appliance before it is opened!
The appliance does not need any maintenance.
Only the manufacturer is to carry out repairs.
The electrical components of the transducer contain both environmentally
hazardous materials and materials that can be reused. That is why the
appliance is to be recycled once it is finally immobilized. The environment
directives on this from the country in question must be followed.
1.4 Symbols

should the instructions not be followed.
INFORMATION! This indicates information, which is vital for proper
appliance operations.
Description of the Transducer
Type PS27 differential pressure transducers are pneumatic/electrical sensors for pressure testing (positive/negative gauge pressure and differential pressure) purposes. They are typically used in air-conditioning and ventilation technology e.g. pressure testing in ventilation ducts. The transducer’s core is a piezoresistive pressure transducer.
Startup
3.1 Functional Description
PS27 pressure transducers are of the precision type and despite their
sturdiness they should still be treated with care. Installation right next to
heat and radiation sources
e.g. radiators should be avoided as this may lead to measurement errors
arising. Ideally the appliance should be vertically mounted on a wall not
subject to any vibrations. To stop any condensed water entering the
measurement cell, the transducer together with the hose connections for
positive gauge pressure + and negative gauge pressure – should be pointing
downwards.
The right pressure sign must be used in keeping with the following table when
connecting the pressure to the transducer:
Type of pressure | Connect pressure to | Example |
---|---|---|
pos. gauge pressure | + input | 0…1 kPa |
neg. gauge pressure | – input | 0…- 500 Pa |
Differential pressure | Higher pressure at + input lower pressure at – input |
0…125 Pa e.g via a differential pressure producer (e.g. measuring orifice)
Symmetrical pressure ranges| + input| ± 200 Pa
Asymmetrical pressure ranges| Input of the larger pressure range| -300 Pa…+ 1
kPa (here connect to + input)
3.2 Connections for Four-Wire version (standard) in the device:
Note the prescribed supply voltage (see rating plate). Also follow the connection diagram on the appliance cover / circuit board mount.
ST4 Pin | Connection name | Meaning |
---|---|---|
1 | 24V | Power supply input – 24VAC/DC |
2 | GND | Ground for power supply |
3 | OUT | Voltage or current output |
4 | GND | Ground for output signal |
5 | SET 0 | Zero-point input (+24V zero-point is active) |
The transducer outputs are protected from short circuits. The DC-supplied
appliances are protected from reverse polarity of the supply voltage.
3.3 Connections for Two-Wire System (Option):
ST4 Pin | Connection name | Meaning |
---|---|---|
1 | 24V | +terminal 15-32VDC |
2 | GND | Not used |
3 | OUT | -terminal |
4 | GND | Not used |
5 | SET 0 | Zero-point input |
Resetting Offset
After starting the pressure transducer, give it some 15 minutes to warm up.
During this time the output signal may be unstable.
Zero-point calibration of the appliance is only effected via the input
assigned for this purpose. The user must ensure that the appliance is not
subjected to any pressure during the calibration process as this might lead to
a wrong offset value which, in turn, would result in a wrong output signal.
The 24V input makes it possible to activate a 3/2 directional control valve
with the same signal, which switches the PS27’s pressure inputs at zero
pressure during the zero calibration process. In this case the zero point
calibration signal must be applied until there is no doubt that the pressure
has fallen to zero.
While Resetting Offset is in progress, the power supply must not be switched
off. This might result in a loss of the device setting and may leave the PS27
unusable.
Configuring the Output Signal
The user can configure the PS27’s output signal. This can be done in various ways
Output | SW Pos 3 | SW Pos 4 | Comments |
---|---|---|---|
0…10V | on | off | RLoad > 50k Ω |
2…10V | on | on | RLoad > 50k Ω |
0…20mA | off | off | max. load 500Ω |
4…20mA | off | on | max. load 500Ω |
The two-wire model must be configured by the manufacturer.
Setting the Measuring Range (Optional)
The transducer with 4 measuring ranges can be adapted to the measuring assignment in question. The teaching of 4 measuring ranges into the appliance has been undertaken by the manufacturer. The switches 1 and 2 of SW can be used to select the measuring range in question before the transducer is switched on.
SW Pos 1 | SW Pos2 | Measuring range |
---|---|---|
off | off | 1 |
on | off | 2 |
off | on | 3 |
on | on | 4 |
The limiting values of the measuring ranges are noted on the nameplate of the
PS27.
Display-optional appliances indicate the limiting value of the selected
measuring range for 1.5 seconds after being switched-on. The appliance should
be re-zeroed following any measuring range change-over. This is because the
amplification change-over may produce offset voltages.
Display (Option)
To show up the readings, the PS27 can also be fitted out with a display. The
readings will be shown in either Pa or kPa depending on the limiting value of
the measuring range. The number of the measuring range selected is always
shown on the bottom line of the display.
On switching on a display-equipped appliance, the first thing shown is the
PS27 programme version followed by a 1.5 second screening of the limiting
value of the selected measuring range and then the actual readings.
Setting the Relay Operating Point (Option)
The relay operating point can be adjusted with the aid of the potentiometer
P2.1 (Set Relay). Adjustment is easiest when the desired switching pressure is
applied and the potentiometer set so that the relay is just triggered.
Please note: The relay is connected to the sensor’s output so that any
adjusted time delay will also cause a delay in relay triggering.
