Safety Summary
SPECIFIC
WARNINGS Consider the corrosive properties of the measured substance when
selecting piping materials. Degradation of the piping can upset the
process. Some process upsets can injure personnel and damage
equipment. (p. 3-4)
When pressurizing, avoid overloading and pressure hammer. Refer
to the introduction section for the pressure limits of the cell. Exceed-
ing this pressure could result in damage to the cell and cause seri-
ous injury to personnel. (p. 3-4)
Explosionproof/dust-ignitionproof installations and intrinsically safe
installations in Class II or Class III hazardous locations require that
the assembly be kept tight while circuits are live unless the location
is known to be nonhazardous at the time. (p. 4-1, 8-1)
The outputs of smart devices change to a fixed value during initial-
ization and detected failure conditions. These values must be
selected by the user to ensure safe operation. (p. 5-3)
System maintenance must be performed only by qualified personnel
and only after securing equipment controlled by the circuit. Altering
or removing components from an active circuit may upset the pro-
cess being controlled. (p. 8-1)
SPECIFIC
CAUTIONS Do not remove the cell lock and rotate the electronics housing about
the cell. Doing so can damage the cell cable and will void the
warranty. (p. 3-3)
If the cell and characterization board assembly has been cleaned
for oxygen and chlorine service, do not compromise the integrity of
this cleaning during these procedures. Impurities will react with oxy-
gen and chlorine and damage the transmitter and the process.
(p. 7-3, 8-1)
Clean the diaphragms with a soft rag and appropriate solvent. The
use of metal brushes, blades, or other tools will damage the dia-
phragms. (p. 7-3)

OVERVIEW
WBPEEUI110506A0 1 - 1
SECTION 1 - INTRODUCTION
OVERVIEW
The Type PTSP Platinum Standard Smart Pressure Transmit-
ter accurately measures absolute or gage pressure of corrosive
and noncorrosive liquids, vapors, and gases. It may be config-
ured to provide a polled digital process variable signal (digital
field bus mode) or a four to 20-milliampere process variable
signal (analog mode).
It is important for safety and operating reasons to read and
understand this manual. Until doing so, do not install or com-
plete any tasks or procedures related to installation, calibra-
tion, operation, maintenance, or repair.
INTENDED USER
The information in this publication is a guide for technical per-
sonnel responsible for the installation, calibration, operation,
maintenance, and repair of the Type PTSP Platinum Standard
Smart Pressure Transmitter.
EQUIPMENT DESCRIPTION
The Type PTSP pressure transmitter consists of a cell and
characterization board assembly and an electronics assembly.
The electronics package uses the latest microprocessor tech-
nology, allowing calibration, operation, and troubleshooting
from a local or remote location.
The Type STT Smart Transmitter Terminal communicates with
the transmitter to configure, calibrate, check transmitter sta-
tus, and perform other interactions with the transmitter. The
EZ CAL™option allows calibration validation without the
Type STT terminal. An optional LCD (liquid crystal display)
shows output in percent and user-defined secondary engineer-
ing units, input in primary engineering units, cell tempera-
ture, and the transmitter ID tag. An analog meter is also
available for local output indication for those applications
where the transmitter operates at temperature extremes (refer
to Table 1-3 for the temperature limits).
FEATURES
Accurate, Stable, and Reproducible Measurements. Silicon
piezo-resistive cell technology provides precise, stable, and
reproducible pressure measurements.

INTRODUCTION
FEATURES
1 - 2 WBPEEUI110506A0
Standard Hastelloy®C-276 Wetted Diaphragm. This corro-
sion resistant material is compatible with most substances. It
reduces stock and minimizes purchase variations.
Easy Zero and Span Validation. The nonintrusive EZ CAL
option does not violate the transmitter case. It allows zero and
span validation to previously defined pressure values without
the use of the Type STT terminal. The EZ CAL option may be
supplied at delivery or added in the field, and can be used on
any Type PTSP pressure transmitter (except those with stain-
less steel housings).
Turndown Ratios from 1:1 to 40:1. Most Type PTSP pres-
sure transmitters have a turndown ratio range from 1:1 to
40:1.
Enhanced Remote Communications. Communicates with
the Type STT Smart Transmitter Terminal. This hand-held
communication device uses a high frequency AC signaling
method known as FSK (frequency shift keying). This communi-
cation method functions in the high noise environment found
in many factories. The Type STT terminal communicates with
the transmitter anywhere there is access to the signal wires
within 1.6 kilometers (1.0 mile) of the transmitter. This parallel
connection does not disrupt the isolated analog four to
20-milliampere process variable signal. The terminal is also
available in French and Spanish language versions.
Types STT04 terminals and later have the ability to communi-
cate with HART devices.
Optional Two-Line, Seven Character Liquid Crystal
Display. Displays output in percent and user-defined second-
ary engineering units, input in primary engineering units, cell
temperature, and transmitter ID tag. An analog meter is also
available for those applications where the transmitter operates
outside the temperature limits of the LCD. Both are easily
installed for convenient local indication.
Advanced Electronics Insures Reliability. The amplifier
assembly uses surface mount technology, designed to exceed
50 years MTBF (mean time between failure).
Dual Cover Housing. Immune to RFI (radio frequency
interference).
Reduced Installation and Service Costs. Remote communi-
cations, modular plug-in electronics, and long-term stability
reduce installation and service time.
Direct Replacement of Existing Analog Two-Wire
Transmitters. Transmitters used in the analog mode replace
most four to 20-milliampere output pressure transmitters that
operate over a two-wire system.

INTRODUCTION
EQUIPMENT APPLICATION
WBPEEUI110506A0 1 - 3
Digital Field Bus Compatibility. When used as a high speed
digital communicating device, analog signal processing does
not occur. This results in an overall accuracy that is improved
by more than three times compared to a traditional analog sys-
tem. Such applications are INFI 90®OPEN supported.
Transmitter Diagnostics. The transmitter performs a series
of self-checks, monitoring such areas as configuration integ-
rity and input circuitry. A user-defined cell temperature alarm
is available. These diagnostics reduce troubleshooting and ser-
vice time.
Agency Certifications. Designed to comply with FM (Factory
Mutual) and CSA (Canadian Standards Association) certifica-
tions as intrinsically safe, explosionproof, and nonincendive.
Selected transmitters may be supplied with CENELEC (Euro-
pean Committee for Electrotechnical Standardization) or SAA
(Standards Association of Australia) certifications on special
order. A NEMA 4X and IP67 housing makes the transmitter
suitable for corrosive environments. The standard electronics
housing is made of a low copper (less than one percent) Alumi-
num alloy. A polyurethane coating on the housing provides
environmental protection.
EQUIPMENT APPLICATION
Uses for the transmitter include process control applications
in the power generation, gas, water, petroleum, pulp and
paper, and food industries.

Reference accuracy - per
IEC 770 and SAMA
PMC 31.1
The reference accuracy includes the effects of linearity, hysteresis, repeatability,
and deadband. These valuesare for transmitterswith zero based spans, silicone
oil fill, and Hastelloy C-276 isolating diaphragms at a reference temperature of
25°C (77°F). The value listed may vary depending on the URL and calibrated
span of the particular transmitter.
PTSPGF ±0.20% of span or ± (% of span), whichever is greater
PTSPGG and PTSPGJ ±0.10% of span or ± (% of span), whichever is greater
Pressure limits The minimum sustained absolute pressure is 3.4 kPa (0.5 psi). The maximum
overpressure is listed in the following table.
Overpressure effect This value is for transmitters with zero based spans, silicone oil fill, and Hastelloy
C-276 isolating diaphragms at a reference temperature of 25°C (77°F).
±0.05% of URL for line pressures 1.5 times URL.
Ambient temperature
effect on zero and span These values are for transmitters with zero based spans, silicone oil fill, and Hastelloy C-276 isolating diaphragms. The effects listed are for a variation of
±25°C (±45°F) from a calibration done at a temperature between -30°and
+80°C (-22°and +176°F), as long as the variation does not take the transmitter
out of the temperature specifications listed in Table 1-3.
PTSPGF ±(0.15% URL + 0.10% span)
PTSPGG and PTSPGJ ±(0.08% URL + 0.10% span)
Weight 1.3 kg (2.9 lbs) without options or accessories.
NOTE:
1. Types PTSPGG and PTSPGJ pressure transmitters are not compensated for barometric pressure. Type PTSPGF pressure transmitters
are not linearized or thermally stabilized below atmospheric pressure.
