Application and Construction
The MICRO APR transmitter is applicable to the measurement of differential pressure of gases, vapours and liquids. The active element is a piezoresistant silicon sensor separated from the medium by separating diaphragms and a specially selected type of manometric fluid. The special design of the active sensing element ensures that it is able to withstand pressure surges and overloads of up to 250/320/413/700bar. The casing is made of aluminum alloy cast or 316SS stainless steel, degree of protection IP66/IP67. The design of the casing enables the use of a local display, rotation of the display, rotation of the casing by 0-340° relative to the sensor, and a choice of cable direction.
Communication and Configuration
The communication standard for data interchange with the transmitter is the Hart protocol.
Communication with the transmitter is carried out with:
- a KAP-03, KAP-03Ex communicator
- some other Hart type communicators(*)
- a PC using an HART/USB converter and Report 2 configuration software.
The data interchange with the transmitter enables users to:
- identify the transmitter
- configure the output parameters:
- measurement units and the values of the start points and end points at the measuring range
- damping time constant
- conversion characteristic (inversion, user’s non-linear characteristic)
- read the currently measured pressure value of the output current and the percentage output control level
- force an output current with a set value
- calibrate the transmitter in relation to a model pressurea
Installation
The transmitter with P or PN type process connection is not heavy, so can be installed without additional mounting bracket on application. For fitting in any desired position we recommend an universal Micromod mounting bracket for 2” pipe. The version with C type process connections can be fitted directly to a 3- or 5- valve manifold. We recommend factory-mounted transmitters with VM type valve manifold. A transmitter without a valve manifold can be fitted in any position on a 2” pipe or on a wall using the C-2” mounting bracket. When the special process connection are required for the measurement of specific media levels in closed tanks (e.g. in the sugar and chemical industries) the transmitter is fitted with an Micromod diaphragm seal. Sets of differential pressure transmitters with diaphragm seals are described in detail in the further part of the catalogue.
