Pressure Sensor Ferrite

The pressure sensor gives the primary input signal to the
electronics. The input pressure is converted in a (micro)
displacement "d" of a metal diaphragm (measuring diaphragm)
whose stiffness determines the URL of the sensor. The
diaphragm displacement changes the gap of a magnetic L2
circuit, generating the variation of the inductive pick-up detector
constituted of two inductances called L1 and L2. One of the
P1 P2
inductance values increases the other decreases. The
inductance value is measured by forming an oscillator with an
extra capacitor (C1,C2). The oscillation is excited by a pulse
and simultaneously measured by two ASIC5 (see the picture L1 Measuring
above). The fundamental frequency of oscillation relates to the diaphragm
inductance values with the following law: (T=2PI*SQR(LC)).

This part is applicable only for a quick fault finding in the case that the Hand Held Terminal or the P.C. Configurator Package
are not available.
If the transmitter does not appear to be working satisfactory, carry out the following fault finding checks before contacting your
nearest Service Centre.
If the instrument is to be returned for repair, ensure that it is adequately packed using the original polystyrene box or high density
chip foam: the trouble sheet/returning form should be sent with the instrument, filled in all its parts. If the transmitter needs
to be dismantled follow the procedures as described in the previous section.

WARNING : If the transmitter forms part of a control loop, the plant must be placed under local manual
control while the instrument is examined or taken out of service. Take all precautions to avoid damages caused

ADDENDUM FOR "METERS" OPTION OF THE TRANSMITTERS
GENERAL DESCRIPTION

This option provides three different indications (meters) inside the transmitter housing. The "output meters" can be mounted on
the terminal block (field terminals) side; one is of "analog" type, the second is of "digital" type (LCD, ProMeter) and the third is
the CoMeter. They are operated by the output signal of the transmitter. The meters can be rotated to exactly match the mounting
position of the transmitter. The above mentioned CoMeter (abbreviation of Communication Meter) can be used both as a display
and as a configuration tool for the Safety 2600T.

ANALOG OUTPUT METER METER INSTALLATION OR REPLACEMENT

The analog output meter provides a 90° scale indication. It has WARNING - If the transmitter is not certified as
either a 0 to 100 linear scale or a 0 to 10 square root scale. Intrinsic Safety type, DO NOT REMOVE ANY COVER
in areas classified as "HAZARDOUS LOCATIONS:

EXPLOSION". Contact your Safety Dpt. in order to
The calibration of the analog type meter only involves zeroing. establish correct installation procedure.
Fig. 1 shows the analog output meter and the location of the
zero adjustment.
The calibration is quite simple using one of the following
methods:
- with the loop unpowered adjust the zero screw to read exactly
the true zero mark on the scale (Fig. 1).
- with the transmitter transmitting 4 mA adjust the zero screw
to read exactly the live zero of the scale.

removed on the left side only in preparation for a further
refit.
4) Plug the meter into the socket. The digital indication meter
can rotate, for easy viewing, in 15° steps, 90° degree
clockwise and 255° counterclockwise.
Further rotation causes damage to the meter stops or to the
"banana" connections and should be avoided. Note that
considerable effort must be applied for 15° rotation. The
analog output meter can also rotate for easy viewing.
5) Check that the cover O-ring gasket is properly in place,
screw on the extended windowed cover and tighten properly.

To remove the meter simply pull it out from the socket and fit
a replacement following the above procedure.

CAUTION - If the meter is removed, ensure that it is

ADDENDUM FOR "SURGE PROTECTION" OPTION OF THE TRANSMITTERS

WARNING - Note for Hazardous Area Installation

For the Pressure Transmitter with surge protector must be additional considered:
1 The transmitter has to be supplied from a voltage source which is safely separated from mains (galvanic separation).
2 The potential equalization for the entire cable link must be guaranteed since the intrinsic safety circuit of the transmitter
is grounded.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

This option provides a built-in surge protection circuit.

The surge protector is designed to dissipate large quantities of electrical energy which have been induced in a transmission line.
The option is suitable to protect up to 2500 V (5 kA discharge current) of 8µs rise time/20µs decay to half value.
These large quantities of energy can be induced in the signal transmission line by lightning discharge in the area or by nearby
electrical equipment.
The dissipation of this energy prevents damage to transmitter circuitry connected to the transmission line.

The surge protector will not protect the instrument in case of a direct lightning strike.

The surge protector board is located inside the terminal block of the transmitter (see drawing).
The circuit is designed to operate and recover automatically. It does not require periodic testing or adjustment.

FITTING PROCEDURE ( See Fig. 1)

CAUTION : This procedure should not be carried out on the field site.

a) Remove the transmitter cover of the field connections side.

b) Unplug the built-in indicator, if present.
c) Unscrew the two Phillips screws (M 4 x 18 mm) which secure the terminal block and pull it off the housing.
d) Unweld the + and - wires which connect the two RF (radio frequency) filters, on the back of the terminal block.
e) Fit properly the surge protector p.c. board and secure it by a self-tapping screw (M 2.9 x 6mm)
f) Secure the two +/- eyelet terminals to +/- holes on the back of the terminal block, by a welding operation.
g) Secure the two +/- wire eyelet terminals of the RF filters to the +/- bushes of the p.c. board by a welding operation.
h) Connect the wire eyelet terminal of the Surge Protector to the dedicated ground connection below terminal block, using a
provided self tapping screw M4x8 mm and relevant washers.
i) Reinstall the terminal block and stick on the notice label in the proper position.
l) Plug the built-in indicator, if used.
m) Refit the cover.

Refer to Fig. 1 and also follows the indication in the figures 2a and 2b.
In the first one (2a) you can see the terminal block connection when there is no surge protector applied.
In the latter (2b) you can see the terminal block connection when surge protector is in!

NOTE - The Surge Protector is suitably provided with the necessary installation screws and the notice label.
Adding the unit to an existing transmitter will affect the power supply requirement for a minimum added operating voltage
of 1.8 V d.c.

ADDENDUM FOR DIFFERENTIAL PRESSURE TRANSMITTERS:
SELECTABLE OUTPUT FUNCTIONS

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The 2600T Series Differential Pressure Transmitter provides a selection of output functions, as follows:

Linear for differential pressure or level measurements

Sq. Root (x) for flow measurements using restriction type primary element, like orifice plate,
integral orifice, Venturi or Dall tube and similar.
Sq. Root (x3) for open channel flow measurements using rectangular or trapezoidal weir
Sq. Root (x5) for open channel flow measurements using V-notch (triangular) weir.
Polynomial for input linearization using a 5th-order polynomial function
for input linearization using 2 polynomial functions of 2nd order
Costant current for loop or associated equipment test.

where |x| and output are in the range 0 to 1 (0% to 100%).

Figure 1 shows the Input/output relationships with the different Square Root Options applied.

These output functions can be activated using a Configuration Tool like the Hand Held Communicator, a HART Universal
Communicator or a Personal Computer, carrying the Smart Configuration Program, connected to the transmitter via a Bell 202
modem (see the relevant Operating Instructions).

The output of the transmitter is actually the analog signal 4 to 20 mA and the digital signal read in engineering units on the integral
display.

1.0 LINEAR

Using this function, the relationship between the input (measured value), expressed in % of the calibrated span and the output
is linear, e.g. at 0% input, corresponds 0% output (4mA), at 50% input corresponds 50% output (12mA) and at 100% input
corresponds 100% output (20mA).

2.0 SQUARE ROOT (X)

Using this function, the output (in % of the span) is proportional to the square root of the input signal in % of the calibrated span:
the instrument, e.g., gives an analog output proportional to the rate of flow.
To avoid the extremely high gain with the input approaching zero, the transmitter output is linear with the input up to 4%,
programmable in order to ensure a more stable output near zero. This also allows an easier zero adjustment and performs a
reduced zero error for ambient temperature variations.
An explanation is given in fig. 2 For an input variation from 0 to 0.5% the output varies linearly. For input variation greater then
0.5% up to a value programmable from 1 to 4%, the output still varies linearly. Then at input values greater then 4% the output
follows the applied transfer function. In the figure it is also indicated the default selection.
To convert from a pressure value within the calibrated span to a percent of flow, first express the pressure as a percent of calibrated
span, then take the square root of this pressure percentage and multiply by 10.
Example : Transmitter calibrated 0÷400 mbar - with 196 mbar, pressure input, the percentage of flow is determined as follows:
196
x 100 = 49% of calibrated pressure
400

√ 49 x 10 = 70% of calibrated flow

To convert from a percentage of the calibrated flow to the equivalent output current (see figure), first divide the percentage of flow
by 100, then multiply this figure by the 16 mA adding also the live zero 4 mA.

SELECTABLE OUTPUT FUNCTIONS

3.0 SQUARE ROOT (X3)

This function, as mentioned before, can be used for open channel flow measurement using ISO 1438 rectangular weirs (Hamilton
Smith, Kindsvater-Carter, Rehbock formulas) or trapezoidal weirs (Cippoletti formulas) (see Fig. 3a and 3b) and ISO 1438 Venturi
flumes. In these types of devices the relationship between the flow and the developed head h (the differential pressure mesured
by the transmitter) is proportional to h3/2 or square root of h3. Other types of Venturi or Parshall flume do not follow this relationship.

Fig. 3a - Rectangular weir Fig. 3b - Trapezoidal weir

Using this function, the output (in % of the span) is proportional to the square root of the third power of the input signal in % of
the calibrated span: the instrument, e.g., gives an output proportional to the rate of flow calculated using the above mentioned
formulas.

4.0 SQUARE ROOT (X5)

This function can be used for open channel flow measurement using ISO 1438 V-notch (triangular) weirs (see Fig. 4) where the
relationship between the flow and the developed head h (the differential pressure measured by the transmitter) is proportional
to h5/2 or square root of h5.

Using this function, the output (in % of the span) is proportional to the square root of the fifth power of the input signal in % of
the calibrated span: the instrument, e.g., gives an output proportional to the rate of flow calculated using the Kingsvater-Shen
formula.

5.0 POLYNOMIAL 1 (5th order)

The polynomial function, applied to the transmitter input (x) expressed

in % of the calibrated span, has the following form:

Out = ± A0 ± A1 (x) ± A2 (x2) ± A3 (x3) ± A4 (x4) ± A5 (x5)

where (x) and Out should be normalized in the range 0 to 1 for

calculation purpose, with following Out meaning:

Out = 1 means Analog out 20 mA
This function can be used for linearization purpose: the user can plot the
characteristic curve of the input and find, using a mathematical method,
the parameters of the polynomium that better approximate the plotted Fig. 5a
curve. Check, after the calculation, if the maximum error is compatible
with the application.
The following are some application examples.

5.1 CYLINDRICAL VESSEL

Using the polynomial function applied to a level transmitter installed in
a horizontal cylindrical vessel it is possible to transmit the measure of
level in term of partial volume. Some different cases should be
considered:

a) Cilindrical vessel with flat ends (not often used. Fig. 5a). Transmitter
measuring the whole vessel heigth.
The following polynomium gives the area of the circular section in
relation to the heigth h (heigth of the liquid in the vessel).

Out = - 0.02 + 0.297 h + 2.83 h2 - 4.255 h3 + 3.5525 h4 -1.421 h5

Being both the input h and the output Out normalized, i.e. in the range
0 to 1 (or 0% to 100%), the vessel diameter corresponding to a circular
area equal to 1 (100%) will be "normalized" by a "K" factor of the
d
following value :
K = 2 • √ 1/ π = 1.12838

The volume of the liquid contained in the vessel, at heigth = h will be Fig. 5b
V = Out • (d/1.12838)2 • L
where d = vessel diameter and L = vessel length.

The non conformity error is within 0.1% between 0.5% and 99.5% of h,
0.2% at 0% and 100%.

b) Cilindrical vessel with hemispherical ends (see Fig. 5b). Transmitter

measuring the whole vessel heigth.
The same polynomium can be used also for the cylindrical vessel with
hemispherical ends. To obtain the volume contained in the vessel can
be used the following empyrical formula:
V = Out • (d/1.12838)2 • (L + 2/3 d)

The non conformity error depends on the ratio between diameter and
length of the vessel: for ratio ≥5 to 1 the error is ≤0.25%. The
polynomium found with mathematical method gives an error of ±0.15%.

c) Cilindrical vessel with elliptical or pseudoelliptical ends (see Fig. 5c).

Transmitter measuring the whole vessel heigth.
The same polynomium can be used also for the cylindrical vessel with
elliptical or pseudoellipticall ends. To obtain the volume contained in
the vessel can be used the following empyrical formula:
V = Out • (d/1.12838)2 • (L + 2/3 m)
where m is the length of the minor ellipse axis (see Fig.5c) Fig. 5c

The non conformity error depends on the ratio between the diameter
and the length of the vessel: for ratio ≥5 to 1 the error is ≤0.25%. The
polynomium found with mathematical method gives an error of ±0.15%.

5.2 SPHERICAL TANK

Spherical tank (see Fig.5d). Transmitter measuring the whole vessel

height.

The following polynomium gives the volume of the spherical section in

relation to the heigth h of the liquid in the tank.
Out = 3 h2 - 2 h3
This formula is geometrical and then his conformity is perfect.

Being both the input h and the output Out normalized, i.e. in the range
0 to 1 (or 0% to 100%), the sphere diameter D corresponding to a
volume equal to 1 (100%) will be "normalized" by a "K" factor of the
Fig. 5d
following value:
K = 2 • 3 √ 3/ (4 π) = 1.2407

The volume of the liquid contained in the tank, at heigth = h will be

V = Out • (D/1.2407)3
where D = sphere diameter .

5.3 CYLINDRICAL VESSEL AND SPHERICAL TANK WITH

PARTIAL LEVEL MEASUREMENT

Cases a) to d) but with partial level measurement (Fig. 6a)

In these cases two methods can be used:

1) Plot the changes in volume in relation to the level changes and,

using a mathematical method, find the relevant polynomium.

2) Use the polynomium coefficients for cases a) to d) and calibrate the

transmitter range to cover the full diameter of the vessel or tank: the
changes in volume for the h changes between h0 and h max will be Fig. 6a
correct. Of course the transmitter will transmit, when the level is
≤h0, the volume corresponding to h0: the same apply for level ≥hmax.
All transmitted volumes are % of the total volume of the vessel.

If it is required the partial volume starting from h0 (i.e. the volume at h0 = 0) then the A0 coefficient should be equal to the polynomium
solved for h0 with negative sign: for example for h0 = 20%

A0 = - 0.02 + 0.297 • 0.2 + 2.83 • 0.22 - 4.255 • 0.23 + 3.5525 • 0.24 -1.421 • 0.25 = - 0.14179

The polynomium coefficients for the example will be:

A0 A1 A2 A3 A4 A5
Out = - 0.14179 + 0.297 h + 2.83 h2 - 4.255 h3 + 3.5525 h4 -1.421 h5

Note : The accuracy of all above numerical values can not be guaranteed.

General notes for level measurement

The level transmitter calibration is effected by the transmitter installation conditions, i.e. if the reference connection is
empty (dry leg) or liquid filled (wet leg). In the first case (dry leg) the calibration in affected by the specific gravity of the
measured liquid and the atmosphere above the liquid at process condition, whereas in the second case (wet leg), it is
affected by the specific gravity of the liquid in the connecting pipe(s).

7.0 CONSTANT CURRENT

This output function, activated by a Configuration Tool, can be used to

test the transmitter output, the integrity of the transmission loop and the
calibration of associated equipment like receivers, recorders, etc.
When this function is activated the transmitter acts like a costant current
generator: using the configuration tool the user can specify a fixed
output current of 4 mA, 20 mA or any value between 4 and 20 mA.

ADDENDUM FOR FLANGE-MOUNTED TRANSMITTERS
Flange-mounted transmitters are suitable for open or closed tank service.
The process fluid may, or may not, be corrosive, viscous, dirty and with suspended solids; each case requires a proper transmitter.
2600T Series provides a model for tank service.
They includes two main application variants: one is dedicated to liquid level measurement and the other is marketed as differential
pressure transmitter but it is particularly suitable for liquid level measurement.

Liquid level transmitter is mounted to a tank as shown in Figure 1.

The ambient temperature of the transmitter mounting location must be between -40°C and +85°C (-40 and +185°F).
The process temperature can instead be between -40°C and +320°C (-40 and +608°F). The process interface and fill fluid of the
transmitter must be selected amongst the various options provided according to the specific range of temperature.

Figure 2 - Liquid level transmitter - Diaphragm options

It is recommended that the liquid level transmitter be mounted with the process diaphragm vertical and with the housing above
the primary transducer as described in the pictures.
Operation is not affected by mounting in other positions, however, some rezeroing may be required.
The transmitter is insensitive to level changes over the lower half of the diaphragm, so it is important to locate the transmitter datum
line with the center line of the tank nozzle. The nozzle also must be located so that the minimum level is always at or above the
datum line.
The liquid level transmitter can be used to measure liquid level in either open or closed (pressurized) tanks.

Sensor trimming
If a sensor trimming operation is requested for level transmitters, follow the relevant procedure of the Hand Held Communicator
and PC Software instructions.
If the result is not satisfactory after having carried out either the ZERO TRIMMING or the FULL TRIMMING, the operation must
be repeated with a special variation for these transmitters.
This special procedure dedicated to the level transmitters is as follows:

a) LOW TRIM (low value) for FULL TRIM operation, or ZERO TRIM, only.
A standard operation must be performed according to the procedure. If the result is not satisfactory the operation must be
repeated with a similar procedure but with a new value which has to be entered. This value must be calculated, as follows,
taking in consideration the error with reversed sign:

new V entered = V applied - ( V displayed - V applied)* (*) error

- 1st Example: Trimming at 10 mbar (applied value)

If the displayed value (via HART) after the first operation, is 10.2 mbar, then the error is +0.2 (10.2 - 10).
The new value to be therefore entered is 9.8 mbar (10 - 0.2).

- 2nd Example: Trimming at true zero (0 mbar)

If the displayed value (via HART) after the first operation, is -0.5 mbar, the operation must be repeated entering + 0.5 mbar.

Note: The LOW TRIM and ZERO TRIM operations affect the span as they do not change the upper
range value previously set. So a high trimming operation according to point b, is highly recommended.

b) HIGH TRIM (high value) for FULL TRIM operation.

A standard operation must be performed according to the procedure. If the result is not satisfactory the operation must be
repeated with a procedure similar to that shown at point a above.
(new calculated value with error taken with reversed sign).

Output % Reranging
Sometimes, in case of tank level measurement, it becomes difficult to calculate the LRV or the URV of the transmitter, or to empty
the tank for zero adjustment. So, not only with flange-mounted, but also with differential pressure transmitters using remote seals,
the Output % Reranging operation helps the user during transmitter calibration.
When it is knows the level of the tank, expressed in percentage, the liquid level, it is possible to input this percentage that
automatically the transmitter recalculates its LRV and URV according to the new percentage value.
This can be done using a HART configuration tool on a 2600T Transmitter.
Two options are available as Output % Reranging operation:
1) OP Range Low where both LRV and URV are adjusted
2) OP Range High where only URV is change in accordance with the new input percentage

As example:

Actual level measured by the transmitter:

Transmitter output = 27%
Calibration : LRV = -125 mbar
URV = +340 mbar

a) New input level measurement (Option 1) = 30%

New calibration : LRV = -139.5 mbar
URV = +325.5 mbar
The transmitter output is now = 30%

Starting again from the initial settings:

Transmitter output = 27%
Calibration : LRV = -125 mbar
URV = +340 mbar

b) New input level measurement (Option 2) = 30%

New calibration : LRV = -125 mbar
+
URV = +291.5 mbar
The transmitter output is now = 30%

. . . ADDENDUM FOR FLANGE-MOUNTED TRANSMITTERS
These models of differential transmitter are suitable for liquid level measurement.
The fluid, in this case, must be clean, free of solids and not viscous. This is because the process diaphragm is recessed in respect
to the flange face.
The differential transmitter has been designed to connect to a flanged tank nozzle, or similar ANSI (DIN) fitting.
Standard connections for 2/3-inch Class 150/300, and equivalent DIN, are available (see Figures 1 and 2).
This model is specifically dedicated to closed (pressurized) tanks (see Figure 4 and Applications n°2 and n°3).

ADDENDUM FOR "EX SAFETY" ASPECTS AND "IP" PROTECTION (EUROPE)
According to ATEX Directive (European Directive 94/9/EC of 23 March 1994) and relative European Standards which can
assure compliance with Essential Safety Requirements, i.e., EN 50014 (General requirements) EN 50018 (Flameproof enclosures
“d”) EN 50020 (Intrinsic safety “i”) EN 50284 (Equipments, group II, category 1G), the pressure transmitters of the 2600T
SERIES have been certified for the following group, categories, media of dangerous atmosphere, temperature classes, types
of protection. Examples of application are also shown below by simple sketches.

a) Certificate ATEX II 1G, EEx ia IIC T5 (-40°C ≤ Ta ≤+40°C)

respectively, EEx ia IIC T4 (-40°C ≤ Ta ≤+85°C)

TUV Certificate number TPS 04 ATEX 1 008

The meaning of ATEX code is as follows:
II : Group for surface areas (not mines)
1: Category
G: Gas (dangerous media)
(Note: the number close to the CE marking of the transmitter safety label identifies the Notified Body which
carries out the surveillance for the production of the transmitter)

The other marking refers to the protection type used according to relevant EN standards:
EEx ia : Intrinsic safety, protection level “a”
IIC : Gas group
T5 : Temperature class of the transmitter (which corresponds to 85°C max)
with a Ta (ambient temperature) +40°C
T4 : Temperature class of the transmitter (which corresponds to 135°C max)
with a Ta (ambient temperature) +85°C
About the applications, this transmitter can be used in “Zone 0” (Gas) classified area (continuous hazard) as it is shown on the
following sketch:

b) Certificate ATEX II 1/2 GD, EEx d IIC T6

IP67 T85°C (-40°C ≤ Ta ≤+75°C)

CESI Certificate number CESI 02 ATEX 027

The meaning of ATEX code is as follows:
II : Group for surface areas (not mines)
1/2 : Category - It means that only a part of the transmitter complies with category 1 and a
second part complies with category 2 (see next application sketch)
G: Gas (dangerous media)
D: Dust (dangerous media)
T85°C: Maximum surface temperature of the transmitter enclosure with a Ta (ambient temperature) +75°C
for Dust (not Gas) with a dust layer up to 50 mm depth.

Note: the number close to the CE marking of the transmitter safety label identifies the Notified Body which carries
out the Surveillance for the production of the transmitter.

The other marking refers to the protection type used according to relevant EN Standards:
EEx d:Flameproof
IIC : Gas group
T6 : Temperature class of the transmitter (which corresponds to 85°C max) with a Ta (ambient temperature) +75°C

About the applications, this transmitter can be used in Zone “0” (Gas) classified areas (continuous hazard) with its “process
part” only, whereas the remaining part of the transmitter, i.e. its enclosure, can be used in Zone 1 (Gas), only (see sketch
below). Reason of this is the process part of the transmitter (normally called primary transducer) that provides inside separation
elements to seal off the electrical sensor from the continuously hazardous process, according to the EN50284 and EN50018.
About Dust application, the transmitter is suitable for "Zone 21" according to the EN 50281 as it is shown on the relevant part of
the sketch:

Separation Note: the protection is mainly assured by the "IP
elements degree" associated to the low power from the supply.

IP code
About the degree of protection provided by the enclosure of the pressure transmitter, the 2600T SERIES has been certified IP67
according to EN 60529 standard (corresponding to IEC 529).
The first characteristic numeral indicates the protection of the inside electronics against ingress of solid forein objects including
dusts. The assigned “6” means an enclosure dust-tight (no ingress of dust).
The second characteristic numeral indicates the protection of the inside electronics against ingress of water. The assigned “7”
means an enclosure water-protected against a temporary immersion in water under standardized conditions of pressure and time.
