7. ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
7.1. Cable connection to transmitter terminals
All connection and installation operations shall be performed with disconnected supply
voltage and other external voltages, if used.
Failure to provide proper connection of the transmitter may result in danger.
Risk of electric shock and/or ignition in potentially explosive atmospheres.
7.1.1. Cable connection
In order to perform correct connection of the cables, the following steps shall be performed:
−disconnect power supply of the supply cable line before connecting the transmitter cabling;
−unscrew the rear cover of the transmitter body to access the power connector;
−pull the cable through the cable gland;

7.1.2. Connection of transmitter with the option of using local HART communication
The transmitter allows to use the local HART communication. To do this you can use a HART
communicator or HART modem connected to a computer or a smartphone.

EN.IO.APT.ALW.MID
10 Revision 01.A.001/2023.01
In order to establish the local communication, it is necessary to:
−remove HART communication jumper (item 2);
−connect the communicator or modem to electrical terminals (item 5).
Opening of the HART jumper results in applying resistance of 240 Ω in series in line
4...20 mA. This resistance reduces voltage on transmitter supply terminals by approximately
5 V DC for maximum current that can be set by the transmitter. To avoid the supply
voltage deficit on the transmitter terminals, the HART jumper must be dismantled
only for the time of performing the HART local communication.
Connection diagram of the communicator or modem to transmitter power supply and measurement
system is presented below:

−Aplisens Mobile Configurator under control of the Android system;
−softwares from other companies accepting DDL and DTM libraries.
8.7.3. Local HART communication jumper
The transmitter allows to use the local HART communication. To do this you can use a HART
communicator unit or modem interoperating with a computer or a smartphone.
In order to establish communication, it is necessary to:
−remove the HART communication jumper (➔Figure 3. Electrical connection to transmitter);
−connect the communicator or modem to terminals (➔Connection of transmitter with the option
of using local HART communication).
9. START-UP
As standard, the transmitter is adjusted to a set range equal to the base range, unless a specific set
range is provided in the order. The base range and the basic unit of the transmitter can be read out
from its nameplate (➔Transmitter identification).
Use the transmitter within the allowable temperature limits. Risk of injury due to
component breakage after exceeding the maximum permitted operating temperature.
9.1. Alarm configuration
Transmitters has a developed internal diagnostics, which monitors the work of their electronic circuits,
process and environmental parameters.
The user has an option of enabling/disabling the current alarms. Current alarms are disabled by default.
The table below shows value of alarm currents.

9.2. Configuration of operating mode
Before starting the work with the transmitter, the following parameters must be configured:
−basic unit of transmitter;
−the beginning of the set range LRV;
−the end of the set range URV;
−damping time constant;
−NORMAL/NAMUR analogue output operation mode;
−alarm mode, high or low alarm;
−transmitter tag (TAG/LONG_TAG);
−LCD display configuration parameters;
−setting of the settings change lock password.

Once the transmitter parameters have been entered and it has been reset at the workstation, it
is required to:
−Secure the device against the possibility of making changes in the local setpoint change
MENU.
−Set your own password different from default password of “00000000”. The new
password may consist of any combination of 8 hexadecimal characters 0...9, A…F. Store
the password in a safe place. If the password is lost, its restoration or resetting to factory
settings may only be performed by the manufacturer.
−Activate the setpoint change lock to secure the transmitter against
accidental/unauthorized change of parameters.
Operations described above can be done via HART communication.
For Exd type transmitters, opening the housing cover in the hazardous zone in order to
use the local setpoint change MENU is forbidden.
9.3. Sealing of the transmitters
The transmitters are sealed according to the regulations in the place / country of using.
The manufacturer seals the side covers and the sensor as well as the nameplate, if it is made of metal.
The sealing method of the transmitter by the manufacturer is shown at Fig. 9.
Figure 9. Example of the transmitter side covers sealing
Protection against changes in the settings in the transmitter can be done as follows:
–systemically, activated by a configuration program (Raport 2) andprotected by password,
with „spec lock” disabled;
–done with local buttons on the transmitter with a local menu (command MID_WP) with
„spec lock” disabled.
As a standard, the manufacturer turns on the ‘’spec lock’’ or, in agreement with the ordering
party, the transmitter may be unblocked.
Local buttons, enabling the activation of the “spec lock”, are secured with side cover which
could be sealed. With the “spec lock”on, it is possible to change only some of the
transmitter parameters, i.e. the HART address of the transmitter and the time constant,
and transmitter identification entries related to its place of work can be made, e.g. TAG.
