Gage Pressure Transmitter
GP Series - Installation Instructions

INTRODUCTION
The gage pressure transmitter is designed with a single remote sensor that enables it to accept high pressure in several ranges up to 500 PSI, 35 Bar or 3500 kPa. All models can handle overload pressure 2X the maximum full scale range and burst pressure is 5X the maximum full scale range.

Features include field selectable pressure ranges and output signal types, output reversal and slow-damping for the most flexible applications. The pressur transmitter is fully factory calibrated and temperature compensated for the highest start-up accuracy.

WARNING : Ensure that the maximum port pressure does not exceed the highest pressure range of the device. For example, the maximum port pressure on a 102 model is 100 PSI. Exceeding this may give erroneous readings or damage the sensor. See Figure 12 for ratings.

BEFORE INSTALLATION
Read these instructions carefully before installing and commissioning the transmitter. Failure to follow these
instructions may result in product damage. Do not use in an explosive or hazardous environment, with combustible or flammable gases, as a safety or emergency stop device or in any other application where failure of the product could result in personal injury. Take electrostatic discharge precautions during installation and do not exceed the device ratings.

MOUNTING

The transmitter mounts on a vertical surface using the two integrated mounting holes. The remote

sensor cable connection should be located on the bottom of the enclosure. The two mounting holes will

facilitate a #10 size screw (not supplied). See Figure 1. Ensure

there is enough space around the unit to make the electrical

Figure 1

connections and that it is within an acceptable distance for

the length of remote sensor cable. Avoid locations with severe

vibrations or excessive moisture. The enclosure has a standard

opening for a conduit connector or cable gland type fitting.

The enclosure has a hinged cover with a latch. Open the cover by pulling slightly on the latch on the bottom side of the enclosure and at the same time pulling on the cover, as illustrated in Figure 2.

A 1/2" NPT threaded connection hole is provided on the left side of the enclosure. See Figure 3. Screw the EMT connector or cable gland connector in until tight. It is recommended that weatherproof conduit or cable gland fittings be used. The F style enclosure includes 1/2" NPT to M16 thread adapter and cable gland fitting. See Figure 4.

Figure 2

Two security screws are provided which can be installed to help secure the cover once settings and wiring connections are complete. See Figure 5.

PLUMBING
The stainless steel pressure sensor incorporates 1/4" NPT male threads for connection to the pipe being monitored. See Figure 6. Do not allow material to fall into the pressure ports as contamination could damage the sensors. It is recommended to use Teflon tape to prevent leaks.
Remove the pressure sensor from the remote cable by unscrewing and pulling apart from the remote cable boot as shown in Figure 7. Wrap 1/4" NPT male sensor threads with Teflon tape. Screw into the sensor port on the pipe being monitored until finger tight. Using an appropriate size wrench, tighten the fitting until snug as shown in Figure 8. Reconnect the remote sensor cable by aligning the remote sensor cable boot and screwing onto the sensor. See Figure 9.

CONFIGURATION
Most configuration is done using User Menu setting with LCD and push buttons on the PCB. See User Menu section for details.

Warning: The transmitter must not have power applied during set up or when making changes to the output signal.

OUTPUT SELECTION: The transmitter features user-selectable output signals of 4-20 mA, 0-5 Vdc and

0-10 Vdc. It is factory configured to operate in the Current (4-20 mA output) mode, but can be changed

to Voltage mode by moving the output selection Figure 10 jumper from the position marked mA to the

position marked VOLT as shown in Figure 10.

WIRING
· Deactivate the 24 Vac/dc power supply until all connections are made to the device to prevent electrical shock or equipment damage.
· Use 14-22 AWG shielded wiring for all connections and do not locate the device wires in the same conduit with wiring used to supply inductive loads such as motors. Make all connections in accordance with national and local codes.
· Pull at least six inches of wire into the enclosure, then complete the wiring connection according to the wiring diagram for the applicable power supply and output signal type.
· Connect the plus DC or the AC voltage hot side to the PWR terminal. For voltage output or AC power, the supply Common is connected to the COM terminal. DO NOT connect power to the OUT terminal as the device will be damaged. It has half-wave power supply so the supply Common is the same as the signal Common. See Figure 11.
· The analog output is available on the OUT terminal. Check the controller Analog Input to determine the proper connection before applying power.
· If using the Zero function, connect the Remote Zero Switch between the ZERO and COM terminals.

USER MENU
The User Menu can be accessed by pressing the <MENU> key at any time after the start-up mode. Note that the <ZERO> key function changes to an <UP> key function when a menu is active.

The system suspends operation when in the menu and holds the last pressure value as the output value. If the User Menu is not active for 5 minutes (no key press), then the menu will exit and the device returns to normal operation.

The User Menu operation and parameters are explained below.

<MENU>

Press and release the <MENU> key to enter the User Menu

5. BACKLIGHT
Backlite Auto

The backlight operation defaults to Auto. It can be set to Off or On using <UP> or <DOWN>. Auto means the LCD backlight only lights when the menu is accessed, off means it never lights and on means it is always on.

Press to exit and return to normal operation.

OPERATION
During normal mode the device reads the pressure sensor and calculates the pressure value depending
on the device model range and the selected pressure range. The pressure value is then displayed on the
LCD and set as the output value for the analog output. The output value is updated once per second.

The output value may be affected by device settings such as the pressure damping time. The pressure averaging setting controls how many readings are averaged to form the output value. For example, if the pressure averaging value is set to 30 seconds then 30 one-second readings are stored and averaged to form the output value. The next second will add a new reading and delete the first to form a new 30 second average for output. The output gets updated every second with a new average reading.

On start-up when the first readings are obtained, the device averages the collected data as necessary until the required setting is reached. For example, if only 10 readings are available and the pressure averaging setting is 60 seconds then the output value is calculated as the average of those 10 readings. The next output value will be an average of 11 readings. This short-averaging will continue until the averaging setting is reached and then the output value will always be the average of 60 readings. If the averaging value is changed during operation, this process can be repeated for the new setting. The averaging value can be set from 1 to 60 seconds via the User Menu.

During normal mode, the device also monitors the <ZERO / UP>, <DOWN> and <MENU> keys and takes appropriate action. The keys are used for accessing the user menu. The device also monitors a Volt/mA switch and determines the appropriate output scaling. The voltage span may be set via the User Menu to either 0-5 Vdc or 0-10 Vdc.

A sensor auto-zero can be initiated by pressing and holding the internal <ZERO> switch for at least 3 seconds. If both pressure ports are close to zero pressure, then the device will calibrate with a new zero point. The auto-zero can also be initiated by holding the ZERO IN terminal low for 3 seconds.

Generally, it is not recommended that a span calibration be performed in the field unless a high-quality calibrator with low differential pressure ranges is available and the temperature of the sensor can be maintained.
