Safety precautions

1.1 Appropriate use
In addition to differential pressure data, the PU/PI and PS10 differential pressure transducers also record positive and negative overpressures.
Always observe the operating requirements—particularly the permissible supply voltage—indicated on the rating plate and in the “Technical data” section of this manual.
The instrument may only be handled as indicated in this manual. Modifications to the instrument are prohibited. The manufacturer is not liable for damages caused by improper use or failure to follow these instructions. Violations of this type render all warranty claims null and void.
1.2 Shipping, assembly, electrical connections and start-up
Do not close the pressure inputs when shipping, as changes in barometric pressure could damage instruments with low measuring ranges.
Only technical personnel who are appropriately trained and authorized by the operator of the facility may assemble the instrument and set up its electrical connections.
The instrument may only be operated by appropriately trained individuals who have been authorized by the operator of the facility.
Pressurized air or breath is not to be used for performance tests, as this could damage instruments with low measurement ranges.
Measurement errors may occur if the instrument is not kept protected from sunlight.
Specific safety precautions are given in individual sections of this manual.
1.3 Troubleshooting, maintenance, repairs, disposal
The individual responsible for the electrical connections must be notified immediately if the instrument is damaged or if errors occur that cannot be corrected as indicated in section 5.
This individual must take the instrument out of service until the error has been corrected and ensure that it cannot be used unintentionally.
Always unplug the supply voltage before opening the instrument!
This instrument requires no maintenance.
Only the manufacturer may perform repairs that require the housing to be opened.
The electronic components of the instrument contain environmentally hazardous materials and materials that can be reused. For this reason the instrument must be recycled in accordance with the environmental guidelines of the jurisdiction in question once it has been taken permanently out of service.

Instrument description

The PU/PI and PS10 pressure transducers are pneumatic, electronic sensors for measuring overpressures, vacuum pressures and differential pressures. Typical applications include, for instance, pressure measurements in air-conditioning and ventilation ducts. At the heart of the transducer is a pressure measurement capsule with a beryllium bronze membrane spring, which is displaced by the pressure difference between the two chambers of the measurement capsule. Inductive displacement transducers measure membrane deflection without contacting the membrane. The instrument has no frictional parts or parts subject to mechanical wear.

Start-up

3.1  Features

Although the PU/PI and PS 10 pressure transducers are highly robust, they are nevertheless precision instruments and should be handled with care. Avoid mounting the instruments in the direct vicinity of any sources of radiation or heat, such as heaters, as this could result in measurement errors. Ideally, the instrument should be mounted vertically on a wall not subject to vibration. Pressure (+) and vacuum (-) ports should be pointing down in order to prevent any condensation from entering the measurement cell.

When connecting pressure to the transducer, use the following table to ensure that the sign of the pressure (+ or -) is correct.

0…125 Pa, e.g. via a differential pressure transducer (such as a measuring orifice)
symmetrical pressure ranges| + input port| ± 200 Pa
asymmetrical pressure ranges| input port corresponding to the high end of the pressure range| -300 Pa…+ 1 kPa (pressure should be connected to the + input port)

Calibrating the zero point

**** Please remember that it takes roughly 30 to 60 minutes for the pressure transducer to warm up after it is switched on. The output signal may not remain stable during this  period.
It is recommended that the zero point after a long operating time (approximately 6 months) is checked and if necessary calibrate it again.  The wiring of the current  outputmakes it impossible to enter a negative current.
As a result, operators cannot turn the zero-point potentiometer beyond the 0.0 mA mark when calibrating the zero point. Were this not the case, the negative component, which cannot be displayed, would interfere with the output signal.
After the pressure transducer has warmed up, the operator may calibrate the zero point using the P0 trimmer (see figure 1). The following table may be used to look up the value to which the analog output must be set when the ports are open; this value is dependent upon both the measurement range and the output signal.

Output signal/ Measurement range| 0…10 V| 0…20 mA| 4…20 mA| ± 5 V| ± 10 V
---|---|---|---|---|---
0…nominal pressure| 0.00 V| 0.00 mA| 4.00 mA| – 5.00 V| – 10.00 V
± nominal pressure| 5.00 V| 10.00 mA| 12.00 mA| 0.00 V| 0.00 V
asymmetrical measurement range| the output signal corresponding to the average of both measurement range limiting values
