Transducer PS27

Significance of the Operating Instructions

These operating instructions go into the function and handling of the PS27 differential pressure transducer
Use at variance to the purpose of the transducer and its incorrect operation may result in risks arising for both people and assets. That is why each and every person charged with handling the transducer must be instructed in its use and is to be aware of the dangers. Close attention must be given to these operating instructions and, in particular, to the associated safety instructions. Do contact the manufacturer should you not understand all the sections.
Be heedful of the operating instructions:

  • They must be readily available during the entire service life of the transducer.
  • They must be passed on to the succeeding personnel charged with operations.
  • Any additions coming from the manufacturer must be inserted.

The manufacturer reserves the right to refine this type of appliance without having to document this fact in each particular instance. The manufacturer is more than willing to provide you with information on the updated nature of these operating instructions.

The copyright to these operating instructions rests with the manufacturer. They include specifications, instructions and drawings on the function and handling of the transducer. Neither in their entirety not in part are they to be duplicated or made available to third parties.

Safety Instructions

1.1 Use for Intended Purpose Only
The PS27 differential pressure transducer registers both differential pressure and positive/negative gauge pressure.
The operational requirements on the rating plate and in the “Specifications” chapter – and the safe supply voltage in particular – must be kept to.
The transducer is only to be handled in conformity with these operating instructions.
No modifications to the transducer are permitted. The manufacturer is not liable for damage arising from any incorrect use or one at variance to the intended purpose.
Claims to warranty in such an instance would be forfeited.
1.2 Transport, Installation, Connection and Startup
Do not block the pressure inlets on the transducer being moved! Changes in barometric pressure may damage transducers with low measuring ranges.
Only qualified personnel are to assemble the appliance and see to its electrical connections. They must be instructed as such and be assigned by the plant operator.
Only instructed persons as assigned by the plant operator are to operate the transducer.
Do not perform any functional test involving compressed or breathable air. 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.

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:

System

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):

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.
