Function
Presigo PDTX…-C is a range of pressure transmitters equipped with one or two pressure sensors, two universal inputs, two universal outputs and an RS485 port for Modbus communication. It operates as a Modbus slave. This range of pressure transmitters is especially well suited as distributed I/O modules for air handling unit controllers. They are designed for easy installation together with Regin’s Corrigo or EXOcompact controllers.

Installation
The transmitter comes with one cable gland mounted and two loose. If more than one cable is used, the other cable glands must be assembled to the housing. Screw in the cable gland until the plastic knockout in the housing snaps. Make sure to remove the plastic knockout completely. Secure the cable gland. See Figure 1.
Figure 1 Installing the cable glands
- Mount the transmitter horizontally or vertically on a stable, vibration-free surface. If the unit is installed in a humid environment, install it vertically with the cable gland edge of the unit pointing down to allow moisture to escape.
- Refer to the graphics below for wiring. Connect the communication cable to terminals 3(A) and 4(B). Use the leftmost cable gland for supply voltage and communication.
- Power up the unit. Set the desired communication settings in the menu (see Settings). Note that the transmitter uses the default Modbus address = 1.
- Refer to the Presigo PDTX…-C variable list for information on how to access transmitter data.
- Let the unit warm up for 10 minutes, then perform a zero-set calibration by pressing the push-button (see Handling).
- Connect plastic tubes from the ventilation duct to the pressure inlets.
The two leftmost inlets are connected to sensor 1 and the other two to sensor 2. The inlet marked with ‘+’ should be used to connect the tube with the highest pressure and the inlet marked with ‘-‘ to the one with the lowest pressure.
Note! A straight cut off nipple must be used for mounting in the ventilatio duct.
For optimal measuring results, measuring points with turbulent air flow should be avoided. Preferably, measuring should be performed at a distance of 2 duct diameters before bends and branching and at 6 duct diameters after bends and branching

| 1 | 24 V (G) + | Power supply 24 V AC/DC (Positive) |
| 2 | 24 V (G0) – | Power supply 24 V AC/DC (Negative/ Ground) |
| 3 | RS485 – A | Communication A (-) |
| 4 | RS485 – B | Communication B (+) |
| 5 | UO1 | Universal output 1 |
| 6 | 24 V (G) + | Internally connected to Terminal 1 |

| 8 | UO2 | Universal output 2 |
| 9 | UI1 | Universal input 1 |
| 10 | GND | Internally connected to Terminal 2 |

Use a shielded, twisted pair cable for RS485 communication. At high risks of interference, a 120 Ω terminating resistor should be mounted at each end of the communications circuit.

Settings
Communication settings can be viewed and changed either via the menu system or through Modbus communication. All other settings are accessed and modified via Modbus. The joystick is used to manoeuvre within the menu system (see Table 1). Pressing the joystick briefly results in entering the viewing mode. When in viewing mode all configured universal inputs and outputs, including pressure and flow sensor values, can be viewed. To enter the settings mode, press the joystick for at least 5 s when the display is inactive.

Getting started
How to view and modify settings in the menu system:
- Enter into viewing or setting mode by pressing and releasing the joystick (long or short press) when the display is inactive
- Navigate through the different sub menus by moving the joystick up or down
- Select a sub menu by pressing and releasing the joystick
- If in setting mode, select a value to modify by pressing and releasing the joystick
- Change the value by moving the joystick up or down
- Confirm the setting by pressing and releasing the joystick, or move the joystick left to discard the changes
- Move the joystick left to return to the previous menu
Note! The last configuration entered into the transmitter is always valid, regardless of whether it was performed using the menu system or via Modbus.
Viewing mode menu
| Sub menu | Description |
|---|---|
| P.# | Pressure valueP.1 = sensor 1 / P.2 = sensor 2 |
| F.# | Flow valueF.1 = sensor 1 / F.2 = sensor 2 |
| d.# | UI: Value in digital moded.1 = UI1 / d.2 = UI2 |
| u.# | UI: Value in 0-10 V modeu.1 = UI1 / u.2 = UI2 |
| t.# | UI: Value in temperature mode (°C)t.1 = UI1 / t.2 = UI2 |
| L.# | UO: Value in digital modeL.1 = UO1 / L.2 = UO2 |
| U.# | UO: Value in 0-10 V modeU.1 = UO1 / U.2 = UO2 |
Two digits can be shown at a time in the display. Therefore, several subsequent views are used to display a longer value. Example: A pressure value of 2350 Pa on sensor 1 is shown with three views, i.e. 1) P.1 2) 23 3) 50. The measuring unit for the displayed value is set via Modbus
Note! The K-factor has to be set via Modbus to be able to view correct flow values. Information regarding flow calculation is found in the variable list.
