Mechanical installation

Mounting and safety instructions
WARNING! Install the device only when current less!

WARNING! This device may only be installed by qualified technical personnel who has read and understood the operating manual! DANGER! Caused by the explosion hazard following instructions have to be complied with:

• The technical data listed in the EC type-examination certificate are. If the certificate is not available, please order or download it from our homepage: http://www.bdsensors.de/products/download/certificates

• Working on supplied (active) parts, except for intrinsically safe circuits, is principally prohibited during an explosion hazard.

• Make sure that an equipotential bonding is in place for the entire course of the line, both inside and outside the intrinsic area.

• In case of increased danger of lightning strike or damage by overvoltage, a stronger lightning protection should be planned.

• Observe the limiting values specified in the EC type-examination certificate. (Capacitance and inductance of the connection cable are not included in the values.)

• Make sure that the entire interconnection of intrinsically safe components remains intrinsically safe.
  The operator is responsible for the intrinsic safety of the overall system (installation of intrinsic parts).

• The external circuit must prevent an external power flow to the contacts. Suitable signal-separating devices which fulfil this demand have to be used.

Handle this high-sensitive electronic precision measuring device with care, both in packed and unpacked condition!

• There are no modifications/changes to be made on the device.
• Do not throw the package/device!
• Remove packaging only directly before starting up the device to avoid any damage!
• Do not use any force when installing the device to prevent damage of the device and the transmitter!

General installation steps

• Carefully remove the pressure measuring device from the package and dispose of the package properly.
• Next the field display has to be mount stationary on a suitable fixing location via two appropriate fastening screws.

Lead in the transmitter cable

• Lead in the connecting cable of the transmitter through the cable gland on the left side. The cable length inside the terminal box has to be long enough for connecting the cords with the terminal clamps on the left (SENSOR).
• Then tighten the cable gland by hand. Take care that the cable is strain-relieved.
• Pay attention that the PTFE-filter on the gauge reference of BD SENSORS-transmitters may not be damaged or removed.

Lead in the supply line

• Lead the supply line through the cable gland on the right side. The cable length inside the terminal box has to be long enough for connecting the cords with the terminal clamps on the right (SUPPLY).
• Then tighten the cable gland by hand. Take care that the cable is strain-relieved.

Special regulations for IS-Areas

Protection against electrostatic charge hazards
Different types of devices partially consist of chargeable plastic components. These are, in particular, the carrying and connection cables, terminal boxes as well as housing enclosures.
A potential electrostatic charge presents the danger of spark generation and ignition. An electrostatic charge must therefore be absolutely prevented.

• Generally, a shielded cable must be used.
• Avoid friction on the plastic surfaces!
• Do not clean the device dry! Use, for example, a damp cloth.

The following warning sign is, if applicable, attached to the transmitter. It points once more to the hazard of electrostatic charging.

! The warning sign must not be removed from the device!

Overvoltage protection
If the device is used as electrical equipment of category 2 G,a suitable overvoltage protection device must be connected in series (attend the valid regulations for operating safety as well as EN60079-14).

Exemplary circuit description
The operation of an intrinsically safe device in intrinsic safe areas requires special care when selecting the necessary Zener barrier or transmitter repeater devices to be able to use the device’s characteristics to the full extent. The following diagram shows a typical arrangement of power supply,Zener barrier and device.

Exemplary circuit description
The supply voltage of e. g. 24 VDC provided by the power supply is led across the Zener barrier. The Zener barrier contains series resistances and Zener diodes as protective components. Subsequently, the operating voltage is applied to the device and, depending on the pressure, a particular signal current will flow.

Functional selection criteria for Zener barriers and galvanic power supply
The minimum supply voltage VS min of the device must not fall short since a correct function of the device can otherwise not be guaranteed. The minimum supply voltage has been defined in the respective product-specific data sheet under “Output signal/supply”.
When using a galvanically insulated amplifier with a linear bonding, please attend that the terminal voltage of the device will decrease like it does with a Zener barrier. Furthermore, it has to be attended that the supply of the device will also decrease with an optionally used signal amplifier.

Test criteria for the selection of the Zener barrier
In order not to fall below VS min it is important to verify which minimum supply voltage is available at full level control of the device.
The technical data of the barrier will usually provide you with the information needed for the selection of the Zener barrier.
However, the value can also be calculated. If a minimum sup-ply of 16 V is assumed, then – according to Ohm’s law – a particular voltage drop will result on the series resistance of the Zener barrier. If, for a device with PNP contact, the contact is also activated, the additional current flowing from the contact to the load resistor will also flow through the Zener barrier or the output of a transmitter repeater. The higher the load current, the lower the available minimum operating voltage. In the diagram shown, the maximum current can be calculated from the voltage difference (Vab Barriere max) between input and output of the Zener barrier divided by the series resistance of the Zener barrier.
The maximum signal current must be subtracted from this value. If the available residual current is smaller than the current required at the contact, either a different barrier or a higher sup-ply voltage before the barrier should be chosen.
When selecting the power supply, the maximum operating conditions according to the EC type-examination certificate must be observed. When assessing the power supply, please refer to their current data sheets to ensure that the entire interconnection of intrinsically safe components will remain intrinsically safe.

Operation

Configuration
The menu system is a closed system allowing you to scroll both forward and backward through the individual set-up menus to navigate to the desired setting item. All settings are permanently stored in an EEPROM and therefore available again even after disconnecting from the supply voltage. The structure of the menu system is the same for all types of devices, regardless of the number of contacts. However, they only differ by the number of menus. Following figure and the menu list shows all possible menus.
Please follow the manual meticulously and remember that changes of the adjustable parameters (switch-on point, switch-off point, etc.) become only effective after pushing both buttons simultaneously and leaving the menu item.

Password system
To avoid a configuration by unauthorized persons, the possibility is given to lock the device by an access protection.
More information is given in menu 1 of the menu list.

Unit
The unit of the values to be measured is determined on ordering. But it is also possible to change the unit later by using one of the enclosed unit labels.

Description of hysteresis and compare mode
To invert the respective modes, you have to exchange the values for the switch-on and switch-off points.

Structure of the menu system

Menu list

• ▲-button: move in the menu system (forward) or increase the displayed value
• ▼-button: move in the menu system (backward) or decrease the displayed value
• both buttons simultaneously: confirm the menu items and set values or change between display and configuration mode to increase the counting speed, when setting the values: keeping the respective button pushed for more than 5 seconds

Execution of configuration:

• set the desired menu item by pushing the ▲- or ▼-button
• activate the set menu item by pushing both buttons simultaneously
• set the desired value or select one of the offered settings by using the ▲- or ▼-button
• store the set value / selected setting and exit the menu by pushing both buttons simultaneously
