5. Power supply and exploitation of transmitters.
5.1. The transmitter connecting should be made after introduction with present instruction content.
Electrically transmitter should be connected according to scheme at p.6 Appendix Exd. Transmitter
electrical installation should be realised with engineering standard requirements . Electrical connections
of transmitters in danger zone should be made by people who have indispensable knowledge and
experience in this branch. Earth clamps must be used to earth transmitters. In the event that
transmitters come in contact with structural metal parts or pipes which are connected to the
equipotential bonding system, transmitters do not require to be earthed.
5.2. Transmitters should be supplied from DC electrical source with voltage max.45V from transformer
feeders or other devices which have at least a strengthened isolation among primary and secondary
windings in which don’t appear voltage higher than 250V. The duty of power supply installation with
above mentioned requirements rests on user.
5.3. Transmitters can be use in ambient temperatures (Ta) between -40°C < Ta ≤45°C for T6 class or
between -40°C < Ta ≤75°C forT5 class.
5.4. Transmitter sensor diaphragm not should be subject on damage during installation and
exploitation. The diaphragm is made from 316ss or Hastelloy thin foil and cannot be subject on medium
which can entail its damage.
5.5. With regard on kind of casing material (light alloy with large aluminium content), the user is obliged
to assure, that possibility of hitting casing does not step out in place of transmitter installation.
5.6. In transmitter casing are two holes to assembly of cable glands from thread M20x1,5 or 1/2 NPT.
5.7. Normally transmitters are delivered without installed glands but with blank plugs (corks) in the
second hole. They are at table 1 and table 2 at list of cable glands and plugs agreeable with production
documentation and accepted by certificate station. Customer should install cable glands according to
tables 1 and plugs according to tables 2 (if plugs aren’t installed) or other accordance with flame-proof
standards.
5.8. It is necessary apply a shield cable or without shield cable with round cross-section in protection
from elastomer, not moisture absorbing, for example: YKSLY 2 * 1, YnTKSYekw 1 * 2 * 1, LIYCY 2 * In
case of need of use cable about different building customer should co-ordinate this with transmitters
manufacturer to choose intakes with cable diameter.
5.9. The general principles of connecting and the exploitation of transmitter in Exd realization should be
compatible with principles and relating standards for Exd casing devices how in p.2.1, in this including
also : EN600079-14, EN60079-17.
5.10. During service must be made a check of the tight fastening of covers and the cable glands and
the fastening of the cable in the glands. The casing and supply line must be inspected for mechanical
damage, and the transmitter rating plate for legibility. Periodic checks should also be made of the
diaphragm, which should not carry signs of damage. During maintenance it is recommended that the
threads of the covers be lubricated with non-acid vaseline.

Measuring range of transmitters is setting by the manufacturer. Blocking against changes in the transmitter
settings can be made as follows:
- systemically, by HART System, activated by a configuration program (Report 2) and protected by password;
- " spec MID locking " done with local buttons on the transmitter with a local menu (command MID_WP).
For pressure transmitters complying to MID Parts Certificate, a manufacturer's standard "spec locking"
is activated, but in agreement with the customer transmitters are not blocked and then the locking
should be on by manufacturer of conversion devices.
Local buttons are protected by a screw side cover, which is sealed. When "spec MID locking" is done can
change only certain parameters of the transmitters, ie: HART transmitter address and the time constant, and
can be made additional entries identifying the transmitter associated with its place of installation. The
proceedings relating to the sealing set out in p. 8.
The pressure transmitter, as a part of the gas conversion of type 2, in accordance with the
requirements of the MID Directive must be protected against unauthorized manipulation by its
producer or manufacturer of the gas volume converter. Sealing of the transmitters is done by its
manufacturer or, by agreement with the customer, they may not be sealed, then sealing should be
made by manufacturer of gas volume conversion.
6.2. Measurement error (according to EN12405-1) in relation to the measured value:
- at the rated temperature range (-25 ÷ 55
0
C) 0.5%
-at reference conditions 0.2%
6.3. Long term stability / 5 years 0.5%
The manufacturer recommends a vertical mount transmitters APC-2000ALW during the pressure
measurements in MID applications.
7. APC-2000ALW in MID application. Electronic display.
Electronic indicating device (display), built-in the APC-2000ALW transmitters, are not controlled metrologically
and as such can not be used for clearing in accordance with EN12405-1 + A2: 2010

8. APC-2000ALW in MID application. Protection against unauthorized
manipulation.
8.1. Blocking by the transmitters manufacturer. Access to the local configuration buttons and to the
transmitter internal components is blocked by the sealing of the side cover and a measuring head locking screw
to the housing of the transmitter. The transmitter rated plates are made of materials self-destructive during
detachment, or alternative used metal rated plates have one of the screws sealed to the casing. Access “spec
MID locking” protects against unauthorized interference to transmitters from a Hart system. APC-2000ALW
Series transmitters manufacturer is using with a plastic seal in its MID realization. Change of the "spec MID
locking” status ("ON" or "OFF") is possible after removing of the manufacturer sealing from the local buttons
side cover only.
8.2. Blocking by the gas volume conversion manufacturer. Turn on the "spec MID locking" with local
buttons using local menu of transmitter (p.10.2.5.2., MID_WP – “ON”). Put the seals of the gas volume
conversion producer on the side cover, screw of a sensor head and a label if it is metal made. Places of seals
application is shown by the arrows at Fig. 1c. Seal should be made in accordance with the documentation of
gas volume conversions in the place/country their use.
