INSTRUCTION MANUAL
P3116
DESCRIPTION
The P3116 transmitter with 4-20 mA current outputs is designed to measure
temperature and relative humidity of air using the external probe that is part
of the device. The probe is interchangeable without the need for calibration
with a specific device and regardless of the probe cable length (the device
automatically reads the current calibration data from the connected probe).
The transmitter communicates by two galvanically separated current loops.
Each loop has two-wire connection and each loop requires power from evaluation
device. It is always necessary to connect loop I1, which supplies power to
measurement part of the device.
DEVICE INSTALATION
Devices are designed for wall mounting. There are two mounting holes at the
sides of the case. The transmitter fasten in any position, the recommended
probe working position is with sensor cover downwards.
The connecting terminals are accessible after unscrewing the four screws in
the corners of the case and removing the lid (see figure). Pass the connecting
cable through released gland and connect the wires to terminals. For current
loops connection use a shielded cable with maximum length of 1200m and with
external diameter of 4 to 8 mm. The cable shield connect to the appropriate
terminal of the device. Finally tighten the gland and screw the lid (check the
integrity of the seal).
The loop resistance value Rc = Rm + resistance of wires must fulfill the
condition Rc[Ω] < 40 x Uss[V] – 360.
The external probe cable can be disconnected and reconnected or replaced.
The connection terminal block is accessible after removing the lid. Work
carefully, the wires must not be interchanged (see figure)!
Devices don´t require special operation and maintenance. It is recommended
periodically to verify the accuracy of measurement.
DIMENSIONS
WARNING
- Don´t operate the probe of the device in an environment in a state of condensation or in an environment of water aerosol for a long time.
- Don´t use and don’t store the device probe without a sensor cover.
- Don´t connect transmitter while power supply voltage is on.
- The cables should be located as far as possible from potential interference sources.
- Installation, commissioning and maintenance may only be carried out by personnel with qualification by applicable regulations and standards.
