WelcometotheDeltaSpan™QuickStart
TheDeltaSpan™QuickStartprovidesbasicmounting,setupanduseinstructionsfor
gettingtheDeltaSpan™upandrunningquickly.Ifyouhaveanon‐standardinstallation
orsetuprequirementthatisnotaddressedhere,pleaserefertotheDeltaSpan™Manual
orothersupportdocumentationlocatedatwww.flowline.com.
WeDoYourLevelBest
ThankyouforpurchasingDeltaSpan™.Thegeneralpurposeexternalmountpressurelevel
transmitterprovidescontinuouslevelmeasurementupto69’(21.1m)WCpoweredbythe
4‐20mAloop.TheLD30Seriescanbeusedtoaccuratelymeasurecompatiblegasesand
liquids;fullscaleaccuracyis0.25%.DesignedforindustrialenvironmentswithaNEMA4X
(IP66)housing,thistransmitterresistsmosteffectsofshockandvibration.ThisQuickStart
includeseverythingyou’llneedtogetthesensorupandrunning.

CAUTION
Donotexceedspecifiedsupplyvoltageratings.Permanentdamagenot
coveredbywarrantywillresult.Thisdeviceisnotdesignedfor120or240
voltACoperation.Useonlyon13to30VDC.

Installation
First,selectalocation.TheDeltaSpanshouldbelocatedwithinatemperaturerangeof0
and175°F(‐18to79°C).Distancefromthereceiverislimitedonlybytotalloopresistance.
Whilethetubingorpipingsupplyingpressuretotheunitcanbepracticallyanylength,
rememberthatlonglengthswillincreaseresponsetimeslightly.
Next,positiontheDeltaSpan.Althoughthetransmitterisnotpositionsensitive,standard
modelsarefactorycalibratedinapositionwiththepressureconnectiondownward.The
DeltaSpanfunctionsatgreatestaccuracyinthisposition.
Createapressureconnection.Useasmallamountofplumber’stapeorothersuitable
sealantstopreventleaks.Besurethepressurepassageinsidetheportisnotblocked.
Finally,checkyourElectricalConnections.Themaximumlengthofwireconnectingthe
transmitterandreceiverisafunctionofwiresizeandreceiverresistance.Wiringshould
notcontributemorethan10%ofthereceiverresistancetototalloopresistance.Forruns

3
exceeding1000feet,choosereceiverswithhigherresistancetominimizethesizeandcost
ofconnectingleads.Wherewiringlengthisunder100feet,wireassmallas22AWGcan
beused.
Electricalconnectionstothepressuretransmittersaremadetotheterminalblocklocated
insidethehousing.Removethescrewsandliftoffthecover.Wireasshowninthe
diagrambelow.WhenusingcableversionofGeneralPurposeHousingwithCable,black
wireisnegative(‐)andredwireispositive(+).

CurrentOutput
Current(4‐20mA)OutputOperation
Anexternalpowersupplydelivering13‐30VDCwithminimumcurrentcapabilityof40mA
DC(pertransmitter)isrequiredtopowerthecontrolloop.TheCurrentOutputdiagram
(above)showstheconnectionofthepowersupply,transmitterandreceiver.Therangeof
appropriatereceiverloadresistance(RL)fortheDCpowersupplyvoltageavailableis
expressedbytheformula:
RLMax=Vps‐13
20mADC
Shieldedcableshouldalwaysbeusedforcontrolloopwiring.
MaximumLoopResistanceis1300ohms@30VDC.
Maintenance
Afterfinalinstallationofthepressuretransmitteranditscompanionreceiver,noroutine
maintenanceisrequired.Aperiodiccheckofsystemcalibrationissuggested.TheLD30
transmittersarenotfieldrepairableandshouldbereturnedifrepairisneeded.
Troubleshooting
IfyoufaceanyissuesnotaddressedinthisQuickStart,pleaserefertotheDeltaSpan
ManuallocatedonFlowlinewebsiteatwww.flowline.com.
Wherepersonalsafetyorsignificantpropertydamagecanoccurduetoaspill,the
installationmusthavearedundantbackupsafetysysteminstalled.
