---|---

NOTE – The technical data listed in the EU-type examination certificate are binding. Download this by accessing www.bdsensors.de or request it by e-mail or phone: info@bdsensors.de | phone: +49 (0) 92 35 98 11 0
NOTE – Make sure that the entire interconnection of intrinsically safe components remains intrinsically safe. The owner-operator is responsible for the intrinsic safety of the overall system (entire circuitry).
NOTE – If there is increased risk of damage to the device by lightning strike or overvoltage, increased lightning protection must additionally be provided!
NOTE – Treat any unprotected diaphragm with utmost care; this can be damaged very easily.
NOTE – Provide a cooling line when using the device in steam piping.
NOTE – When installing the device, avoid high mechanical stresses on the pressure port! This will result in a shift of the characteristic curve or to damage, in particular in case of very small pressure ranges.
NOTE – In hydraulic systems, position the device in such a way that the pressure port points upward (ventilation).
NOTE – Do not remove the packaging or protective caps of the device until shortly before the mounting procedure, in order to exclude any damage to the diaphragm and the threads!
Protective caps must be kept! Dispose of the packaging properly!
NOTE – The permissible tightening torque depends on the conditions on site (material and geometry of the mounting point).
The specified tightening torques for the pressure transmitter must not be exceeded!

NOTES – for mounting outdoors or in a moist environment:

• Please note that your application does not show a dew point, which causes condensation and can damage the pressure transmitter. There are specially protected pressure transmitters for these operating conditions. Please contact us in such case.
• Connect the device electrically straightaway after mounting or prevent moisture penetration, e.g. by a suitable protective cap. (The ingress protection specified in the data sheet applies to the connected device.)
• Select the mounting position such that splashed and condensed water can drain off. Stationary liquid on sealing surfaces must be excluded!
• If the device has a cable outlet, the outgoing cable must be routed downwards. If the cable needs to be routed upwards, this must be done in an initially downward curve.
• Mount the device such that it is protected from direct solar radiation. In the most unfavourable case, direct solar radiation leads to the exceeding of the permissible operating temperature. This must be excluded if the device is used in any explosion-hazardous area!
• For devices with gauge reference in the housing (small hole next to the electrical connection), install the device in such a way, that the gauge reference is protected from dirt and moisture. Should the device be exposed to fluid admission, the functionality will be blocked by the gauge reference. An exact measurement in this condition is not possible. Furthermore, this can lead to damages on the device.

Electrical connection

Connection and safety instructions

DANGER| Danger of death from electric shock or explosion

• Explosion hazard if the operating voltage is too high (max. 28 VDC) or by opening the field housing while an explosion hazard exists.
• Always mount the device in a depressurized and de-energized condition!
• Do not install the device while there is a risk of explosion.
• Operate the device only within the specification! (data sheet)

---|---

• The limit values listed in the EU-type examination certificate are observed. (Capacity and inductance of the connection cable are not included in the values.)
• The supply corresponds to protection class III (protective insulation).
  NOTE – Use a shielded and twisted multicore cable for the electrical connection.

NOTE

• for devices with plug ISO 4400 or field housing:

• It must be ensured that the external diameter of the used
  cable is within the permissible clamping range:
  cable socket ISO 4400 – code G00: Ø 10 … 14 mm
  code G01: Ø 4.5 … 11 mm
  code G10: Ø 4 … 6 mm field housing code 880: Ø 5 … 14 mm

• Ensure that the cable lies in the cable gland firmly and cleftlessly!

NOTE – On devices with field housing, the terminal clamps are situated under the metal cap. To install the device electrically, the cap must be screwed off. Before the cap is screwed on again, the O-ring and the sealing surface on the housing have to be checked for damages and if necessary to be changed! Afterwards screw the metal cap on by hand and make sure that the field housing is firmly locked again.

NOTE – When devices with ISO 4400 connector are used, the cable socket must be properly mounted so that the ingress protection specified in the data sheet is ensured! Ensure that the delivered seal is placed between plug and cable socket. After connecting the cable, fasten the cable socket on the device by using the screw.

NOTE – for devices with cable outlet:

• When routing the cable, as bending radiuses has to be complied the 10-fold cable diameter.

• In case of devices with cable outlet and integrated ventilation tube, the PTFE filter located at the cable end on the ventilation tube must neither be damaged nor removed!
  Route the end of the cable into an area or suitable connection box which is as dry as possible and free from aggressive gases, in order to prevent any damage.

• For a clear identification, the intrinsically safe cables are marked with light blue shrink tubing (over the cable insulation). If the cable has to be modified (e. g. shortened and the marking at the cable end has been lost in the process, it must be restored (for example, by marking it again with light blue shrink tubing or an appropriate identification sign).

Conditions for the IS-area

Danger generated by electrostatic charging

DANGER| Danger of death from explosion

• Explosion hazard due to spark formation from electrostatic charging of plastic components.
• For devices with cable, the cable must be installed tightly. Generally, a shielded cable must be used.
• Do not clean the device and, if applicable, the connection cable, in a dry state! Use a moist cloth, for example.

Overvoltage protection
If the pressure transmitter is used as electrical equipment of category 1 G, then a suitable overvoltage protection device must be connected in series (attend the valid regulations for operating safety as well as EN60079-14).

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

Fig. 2 circuit diagrams

NOTE – Observe item (17) of the type-examination certificate which specifies special conditions for intrinsically safe operation.

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 breakdown diodes as protective components.
Subsequently, the operating voltage is applied to the transmitter and, depending on the pressure, a particular signal current flows.

DANGER| Danger of death from explosion

• Operation of intrinsically safe devices as zone-0 equipment only with ungrounded and galvanically isolated power supply.

---|---

Functional selection criteria for Zener barriers and galvanic power supply
The minimum supply voltage VS min of the transmitter 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 linear bonding, note that the terminal voltage of the transmitter will decrease like it does with a Zener barrier. Furthermore, you have to note that the supply will additionally 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 transmitter. The full level control, i.e. a maximum or nominal output signal (20 mA), can be reached by applying the maximum physical input signal (pressure).

The technical data of the barrier will usually provide the information needed for the selection of the Zener barrier.
However, the value can also be calculated. If a maximum signal current of 0.02 A is assumed, then – according to Ohm’s law – a particular voltage drop will result from the series resistance of the Zener barrier.

This voltage drop is subtracted by the voltage of the power supply and as a result, the terminal voltage is obtained which is applied on the transmitter at full level control. If this voltage is smaller than the minimum supply voltage, another barrier or a higher supply voltage should be chosen.

NOTE – When selecting the ballasts, the maximum operating conditions according to the EU-type examination certificate mus be observed. When assessing these, refer to their current data sheets to ensure that the entire interconnection of intrinsically safe components remains intrinsically safe.

Calculation example for the selection of the Zener barrier

The nominal voltage of the power supply in front of the Zener barrier is 24 VDC ± 5 %. This results in:

• maximum supply voltage: VSup max = 24 V * 1.05 = 25.2 V
• minimum supply voltage: VSup min = 24 V * 0.95 = 22.8 V

The series resistance of the Zener barrier is listed with 295 ohm.
The following values must still be calculated:

• voltage drop at the barrier (with full conduction): Vab barrier = 295  * 0.02 A = 5.9 V
• terminal voltage at the transmitter with Zener barrier: VKl = VS up min – Vab Barriere = 22.8 V – 5.9 V = 16.9 V
• minimum supply voltage of the transmitter (according to data sheet): VKl min = 12 VDC (corresponding to VS min)

Condition:
VKl ≥ VKl min

Result:
The terminal voltage of the transmitter with Zener barrier lies at 16.9 V and is therefore higher than the minimum supply voltage of the transmitter which lies at 12 VDC. This means, the Zener barrier has been selected correctly regarding the supply voltage.

NOTE – Note that no line resistances have been listed in this calculation. However, these will lead to an additional voltage drop that must be considered.
