Design and function Design and function The 265A and 265G digital pressure transmitters are communication-ready field devices featuring microprocessor-controlled electronics with multisensor technology. For bidirectional communication, the devices have an FSK signal superimposed on the 4 … 20 mA output signal (depending on their design) in accordance with the HART protocol; in the case of devices that operate on a fully digital basis, communication takes place via the PROFIBUS PA or FOUNDATION Fieldbus protocols, depending on their design.
Design and function Principle of operation and construction The pressure transmitter has a modular structure and consists of the pressure measuring cell with integrated adjustment electronics, as well as the main electronics plus control unit. Depending on the measuring range and measured variable, either a ceramic pressure sensor or a silicon pressure sensor is used.

Mounting Mounting General Before installing the transmitter, check whether the device design meets the requirements of the measuring point from a measurement technology and safety point of view. This applies in respect of the: • Measuring range • Gauge pressure stability •...
Mounting Pressure transmitter The pressure transmitter can be mounted directly on the shut-off valves. A mounting bracket for wall or pipe mounting (2" pipe) is also available as an accessory. Ideally, the pressure transmitter should be mounted in a vertical position to prevent subsequent zero position shifts.
Mounting Moisture Use suitable cables and tighten cable glands securely. The transmitter can also be protected against the ingress of moisture by routing the connecting cable downward before securing it. This allows rain and condensation to drip down. This is especially important for installation in outdoor areas and rooms that are exposed to moisture (e.g., due to cleaning processes) or on cooled or heated tanks.
Electrical connections Electrical connections WARNING - General risks Observe the applicable regulations governing electrical installation. Connections must only be established in a dead-voltage state. Since the transmitter has no switch-off elements, overvoltage protection devices, lightning protection, and voltage separation capacity must be provided at the plant (overvoltage / lightning protection is optional).

Electrical connections Assembling and connecting the socket connector The socket connector for connecting the cable is supplied unassembled as an accessory for the transmitter. IMPORTANT (NOTE) Please observe the specifications for the electrical connection that have been supplied with the connector. Assembly is depicted in the figure below.
Electrical connections Grounding A terminal is available on both the outside of the housing and in the plug for grounding (PE) the transmitter. Both terminals are electrically connected to one another. Protective conductor / Grounding The transmitter operates within the specified levels of accuracy for common-mode voltages of up to 250 V between signal lines and housings.
Electrical connections Communication setup (4 … 20 mA; HART protocol) The transmitter can be operated via a modem, using a PC or laptop. The modem can be connected to the transmitter in parallel at any point in the signal circuit. Communication between the transmitter and modem occurs via AC signals that are superimposed on the analog 4 ...

Electrical connections Connecting cable Communication between the transmitter and PC or laptop is only possible if the cabling meets the following requirements: It is recommended that shielded, twisted pair cables are used. The minimum wire diameter depends on the line length. Line lengths up to 1,500 m (4,921 ft): 0.51 mm (0.02 inch) Line lengths above 1,500 m (4,921 ft): 0.81 mm (0.03 inch) The maximum line length is limited.

Commissioning Commissioning Once the pressure transmitter has been installed, it is put into operation by switching on the operating voltage. Check the following before switching on the operating voltage: • Process connections • Electrical connection • The impulse line and measuring chamber of the measuring equipment must be completely filled with the measuring medium.
Commissioning Output signal If the applied pressure is within the values indicated on the name plate, the output current ranges between 4 und 20 mA. If the pressure applied falls outside the set range, the output current will be between 3.5 mA and 4 mA if the range is undershot or between 20 mA and 22.5 mA if the range is overshot (depending on the respective configuration).
Commissioning Correcting the lower range value / zero shift During installation of the transmitter, zero position shifts caused by the mounting position (e.g., a slightly oblique mounting position due to a remote seal, etc.) may occur; these must be corrected. IMPORTANT (NOTE) The transmitter must have reached its operating temperature (approx.
Commissioning Turning the housing in relation to the measuring equipment The electronics housing can be rotated 360° and fixed in any position; a stop is provided to prevent it from rotating past this point. • To activate this, slacken the housing stop screw on the neck of the housing (hex-head socket screw SW 2.5) by approx.
Commissioning Installing / Removing the LCD display 1. Unscrew the housing cover of the electronics area (refer to the figure "Securing the housing cover" in the next section). IMPORTANT (NOTE) The optional LCD indicator is designed with type of protection "intrinsic safety" and has been included for the purpose of the transmitter's EC type-examination certificate.

Commissioning Sensor ventilation For technical reasons, you must apply atmospheric pressure to the reference side of the pressure sensor. An external ventilation opening, which is protected by a PTFE filter, is provided on the measuring equipment for this purpose. You should, however, make sure that this ventilation opening is not covered (e.g., do not paint over it or apply oil containing silicone).
Commissioning Operation 6.9.1 Operation using the control buttons on the transmitter The control unit on the transmitter consists of 2 pushbuttons for setting the "Lower Range Value" (0 %) and "Upper Range Value" (100 %) parameters, as well as a write protection switch.
Configuration Configuration WARNING - Potential property damage as a result of electrostatic charging! There is no protection against accidental contact when the housing cover is open. Do not touch conductive parts. Factory settings Transmitters are calibrated at the factory to the customer's specified measuring range. The calibrated range and measuring point number are provided on the name plate.

Configuration Configuration with the LCD display The LCD display can be used to configure the transmitter by means of the (-/+/M) buttons, as follows: NOTICE - Potential damage to parts! Operating the control buttons with a magnetic screwdriver is not permitted. IMPORTANT (NOTE) The information in parentheses refers to the relevant menu item.
Configuration 7.4.1 Offset shift (OFFSET SHIFT) This function performs an offset shift of the characteristic so that it travels through a point specified by the user. This makes it possible to set the output signal of several measuring devices that measure the same process variable to the same value, without the need to perform calibration with applied pressure.
Configuration 7.4.2 Damping (DAMPING) When the output signal for the transmitter is noisy as a result of the process, the signal can be smoothed (damped) electrically. The additional time constant can be set between 0 s and 60 s in increments of 0.001 s. Damping does not affect the value shown on the digital display as a physical unit.
