PX838 Series bidirectional operation using bipolar power supply (±12 Vdc) with bidirectional output (0±5 Vdc or 0±2.5 Vdc)

Connect the power supply to + for positive,

- for negative, and 0 for neutral; connect the output

Specification

Pressure range:

4 inH2O to ±150 psid

Pressure media:

 

X750 diaphragm

Any fluids, compatible with stainless steel (316L),

to signal for positive and 0 for negative signal.

0 SIGNAL

X750 Inconel, 600 Inconel and viton.

Beryllium copper diaphragm Any fluids, compatible with stainless steel (316L), beryllium copper, brass and soft solder and viton.

Accuracy:

±0.25% FS BSL

(including linearity, hysteresis and repeatability)

 

Two 5 mm hexagonal socket bleed screws are located on the outer casing and can be loosened to bleed the two pressure connections. Make sure that these screws are tightened after this operation.

Note: It is possible to changeover the bleed screws and pressure connections enabling easier access or for installation in a difficult position.

Adjustments

The following equipment is required to carry out the adjustments:

rPower supply

rVoltmeter or

rMilli-ammeter

rPressure standard

uConnect the sensor as shown in Installation. The sensor should be put in its normal operating position (vertical or horizontal). Remove the cover to gain access to the zero and span adjustment potentiometers.

Zero adjustment

uZero adjustment is carried out with no pressure applied.

uDepending on the model, set the zero adjustment to: 0.00 V, 2.50 V, 4.00 mA or 12.00 mA

Span adjustment

uSpan adjustment is carried out with the required span pressure applied to the + pressure connector.

uDepending on the model, set the span adjustment to: 5.00 V, 10.00 V or 20.00 mA.

uRelease the pressure.

Completion

Check the output at zero pressure and if necessary, repeat the zero and span adjustments.

rRelease the pressure and disconnect the equipment.

rRefit the cover.

Long term stability:

±0.3% over 1 year at stabilized temperature
