1. Before You Begin
• Before installation check the model, specications, 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 nozzle
osets.

LCD Screen Display Error Codes
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) congured in line with NAMUR
requirements.

For Signal, Power and HTT for Standard Model Transmitters
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)
1. HHT (HART Communicator) or PC Congurator 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%

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 proong.

15 . Fully Functioning Push Buttons
Please provide for proper grounding (earth ground) at designated points (external or internal).
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 function-
ing (see menu tree in following pages).
Optional with F1 or F2 Code Standard with Bleed

16 . Re-Ranging and Applying External PV
17 . Local Push Button Menu
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
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 accu-
rately without need of applying an external PV source.
Menu Functions of the push buttons are controlled by the rmware version of the transmitter.
Please check the specic rmware 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 specic
updates on new rmware's and functionality included.
