This manual covers mainly the functional needs for powering and configuring 3100 A/D/G/H &
3200 A/G series transmitters, including the 3100 MP & 3100 L/ 3200 L sealed assemblies.
For full instructions on installation, configuration and other features/option sets available with these trans-
mitters please read the full product manuals available under the download tab of
www.autroltransmitters.com.
Additional instructional videos outlining programming and configuration functionalities can also be found
on www.autroltransmitters.com. First time users are encouraged to make use of these support resources
made available at no cost online.
For additional technical support or advanced troubleshooting please contact your nearest Autrol office or
call 1-847-779-5000.

Getting Started
 Before installation check the model, specifications, and installation location for the transmitter. Install
using proper engineering practice.
 Mount transmitter securely and stabilize any impulse piping.
 Follow the published pressure and temperature limits for ordered transmitter and options.
 For process temperatures ≥212°F, use of adequate impulse lines, capillaries (diaphragm seals), or
cooling elements are recommended.
 Set Units, URL, and LRL (in menus 21, 22, and 23 respectively). See full menu tree at end of manual.
 After installation of a 3100 D/H/G or 3200 G always perform a Zero Trim (menu 11 - note this is not the
same as Zeroing). Ensure applied process to transmitter is zero before attempting Zero Trim.
 Do not perform Zero Trim for 3100 A/ 3200 A (absolute) unless a true zero PV can be applied to these
units. Instead a Zero Adjust (menu 12) is recommended.
 Zero Adjust is also recommended for 3100/ 3200 L (tank level application) to compensate for tank noz-
zle offsets.

Fail-Mode
AUTROL® Smart Pressure Transmitters automatically perform real time self-diagnostic routines and
display any error codes on the local LCD (M1 option if ordered) that can be used for troubleshooting.
In addition to this, the self-diagnostic routines are also designed to drive transmitter current output
outside of the normal saturation values in case a fault mode is detected. The transmitter will drive its
current 4-20mA output low (down) or high (up) based on the position of the failure mode alarm jumper
(or DIP switch) configured in line with NAMUR requirements.

Power Supply Load Limitations
21
11.9-45 Volts DC is recommended for powering the transmitter. The external power supply ripple noise
should not be higher than 2%. When calculating loop resistance please include resistance of all devices
added in the loop. For intrinsic safety applications when using an Intrinsic Safety Barrier, please also in-
clude the resistance of the barrier into the max loop resistance calculations.
Max. Loop Resistance [Ω] = (E-11.9) [Vdc] / 0.022 [mA]
Note for Standard 4-20mA output units, operating at 11.9V is possible only with Zero load connected to
transmitter analog output. HART is not supported at this low of supply voltage input.
17.5V is recommended as minimum drop across the transmitter for both HART and 250 Ohm loop re-
sistance (loads).
24V +/- 30% is the typically recommended operating range for standard 4-20mA(HART) transmitters.
For 12V and lower please refer to our 3100/3200 LV (low voltage, 1-5V output units)

Connection Diagram
of Signal, Power and HTT for Standard Model Transmitters
1. HHT (HART Communicator) or PC Configurator may be connected at
any terminal point in the signal loop
2. HART Communication requires a loop resistance between 250 and
550 Ohm at 24 Vdc
3. Power Supply
 Voltage Range: 12 to 45 Vdc
 Voltage Rating: 24 Vdc ± 30%

Housing Rotation
Unscrewing the housing rotation screws in the front
and back of the transmitter allow the housing to be
rotated 90° counterclockwise.
360° rotation possible, however please take care that
the sensor cable (inside neck) is not pinched or dam-
aged during re-orientation.

Allen Screw provided on each side of Front and Rear Cover allows for locking the
covers for tamper proofing.

Fully Functioning Push Buttons
To access the magnetic push buttons loosen one of the screws holding down the nameplate on the top of
the transmitter. Turn the nameplate out of the way; underneath are two push buttons labeled Zero and Span.
These magnetic push buttons are fully functioning (see menu tree in following pages).

Re-Ranging and Applying External PV
 Press Zero (5 sec)
 When display shows “–ZR–” re-
lease the button
 Apply PV corresponding to de-
sired LRV (4mA) setting
 Press Zero again. Display will
show –Z or –ZE if error occurs.
 To adjust SPAN press SPAN button (5
sec)
 When display shows “–SP–” re-
lease the button
 Apply PV corresponding to de-
sired URV (20mA) setting
*IMPORTANT
It is highly recommended to use a PV source that is at
least +/- 0.005% accurate to avoid adding negative
bias to factory calibration. If accurate PV source is not
available please use push button menu 2.2 & 2.3 to re-
range accurately without need of applying an external
PV source.

32
Menu Functions of the push buttons are controlled by the firmware version of the transmitter.
Please check the specific firmware version listed on the neck tag of the transmitter (under
LCD screen), as this may limit the available features.
As new features are continuously added please check with the most current manual online
for any specific updates on new firmware's and functionality included.
All available menus are divided into 4 primary sections
 1(TRIM) - for trims, loop test etc.
 2(SETUP) - for user configuration (units, range settings, output, damping etc.)
 3(LCD) - for display resolution, multi-parameter display, engineering mode
 4(Device) - for reset, password lock, Hart Device ID, etc.
