
ThisQuickStartSetupguidecanbeusedbyexperiencedinstrumentationtechnicianstoconfigurethe
sensorusingtheZeroandSpanactuatorsorviatheoptionalHARTcommunications.Formore
detailedinformation,pleaseconsultthecompletemanualbeforeoperating.TheQuickStart
procedureisintendedforusersalreadyfamiliarwiththeuseofMeltPressureSensorsand
Instrumentation.

1. Insuretheprocessconnectioniscleanandclearofanydebrisandismachinedtothe

2. Applyanti‐seizeasappropriatetheninstallthesensorintotheprocessconnection.
(DoNOTtorquesensorintotheholeatthistime!)

3. Allowtimeforthesensortemperaturetoequalizetotheprocesstemperature.Thiswill
helpeliminatethreadgallingandeaseremovallater.ThereshouldbeNOpressure

1VERTEXCAREANDHANDLING

BesurethattheportwheretheVertextransducerwillbeinstalledisfreeofallresidualdriedpolymer
frompreviousmanufacturingprocesses(ThisisaccomplishedusingDynisco'smachinewholetooling
kitpartnumber200100).
InapplicationswheretheVertextransducerwillberemovedinbetweenproductionruns,suchasin
themanufactureoffoodproductsormedicaltubing,onlyremovetheVertexwhenthepolymerisat,
ornear,fullprocesstemperature.Thiswillinsurethatyouarepullingthetransducertipfrommolten
conditionsandthereforenotcausinganyunduepullingeffectonthediaphragmthatcouldresultin
damagetothetipandatransducerthatisthenoutofspecification.
Ifthereisresidualpolymermaterialonthetipwhenthesensorisremovedfromaprocessport,
NEVERuseawirebrush,wirewheel,bluntorsharpinstrumenttoremovethepolymer.There
aretwoacceptablewaysofremovingresidualmaterialfromthetipofanypressuresensor:
AfterremovingtheVertexsensor,carefullycleanthediaphragmwithasoftclothorbronzewool
whilethemediumisstillmalleable.Donotattempttocleanthesensorbyheatingsolidifiedpolymer
withatorch.
Asolventbathconsistingofglycolcanbeusedtosoftenthepolymerandimproveremoval.Placethe
tipofthesensorintothesolventbathforaperiodoftimeasdeterminedbywhentheresidual
polymersoftens.Becarefultonotimmersetheelectronicsinthebath.Thisbathcanbeheatedusing
heatelementstoincreaseremovaleffectivenessandshortencycletime.Thenfollowprocedure“a.”
above.
WheninstallingtheVertexsensor,itisimportantnottoover‐torquetheunitintoplace.Theunit
shouldbehandtightened,andthentightenedtotheinstallationtorquespecifiedinsection4.4witha
torquewrench.
Adjustzeroafterinstallingandheatingthemachinetooperatingtemperature.Wherefilled
sensorsaresensitivetoverticalorientationchanges,Vertexissensitivetohorizontalorientation
changesandinstallationtorque.Reducezero‐shiftimpactbysettingzeroandspanafterproperly
installingthesensorintheprocessport.

DonotadjusttheSpanpotentiometerwithRcalactivated.Spanpotentiometeradjustmentsshould
onlybemadewiththeunitinstalledintoacalibratedpressuresourceatFSpressure.


2.6 TRANSMITTERPRINCIPLESOFOPERATION

Themechanicalsystemconsistsofadiaphragmlocatedonthesensortip.Thediaphragmisa
metalplatedesignedtodeflectinresponsetopressureappliedtothetip.Thediaphragmisin
directcontactwiththefluidmedia(gasorliquid)tobemeasuredanditspurposeistoconvertthe
pressureofthemediatomechanicaldeflection.

Insidethesensor,thediaphragmplatedeflectionisconvertedtoamVelectricalsignal.Electronic
circuitryperformsthesignalconditioningnecessarytoconvertthatsignalintotheoutput(mV/Vor
4‐20mAorvoltage).

AnoptionalJorK‐thermocoupleprocesstemperatureoutputisalsoavailable.Theseoutputsare
fromacustomeraccessiblethermocoupleincludedinthesnouttip.

Anoptionalshuntcalibration(Rcal)outputisalsoavailable.Rcalisamethodofgeneratinganelectrical
outputtomatchtheelectricaloutputthatwouldbegiveninresponsetoanappliedpressure.Rcalis
normallysetto80%FSsothatallsimilarsensorscalibrateatthesamepointtofacilitate
interchangeability.

Rcaltracesitsroutestostraingagetransducers.Instraingagetechnology,Rcalisnormallyaresistor
insertedintotheWheatstonebridgetooffsetitsoutputasif80%pressurewasapplied.IntheVertex
brandsensor,Rcalisanelectricalsimulationof80%pressureandiscreatedintheelectronics
circuitry.DonotadjusttheSpanpotentiometerwithRcalactivated.Spanpotentiometeradjustments
shouldonlybemadewiththeunitinstalledintoacalibratedpressuresourceatFSpressure.

2.7 CORRECTUSE


WhenusingaVertexbrandsensorasasafetycomponentinaccordancewiththeECMachine
Directive,AnnexIIc,theequipmentmanufacturermusttakeanynecessaryprecautionstoensurethat
