Brief User Guide

This is a quick guide to connecting the instrument for the conven-

ience of personnel who are familiar with this type of product�

More comprehensive instructions are contained later in this

manual:

1. Connect a clean air supply of about 2�0 bar (30 psig for

the 3-15 psig output model, or 2�4 bar (35 psig) for the

6-30 psig output model) to the IN port (1/4" NPT)�

2. Connect a pressure gauge or actuator to the OUT port�

DO NOT use PTFE tape or similar to seal the ports� Use

a minimum of soft setting anaerobic compound, e�g�

Loctite Hydraulic Seal 542�

3. Unscrew the lid to obtain access to the terminals�

The cable will need to be sealed by an approved gland

for explosion-proof installation�

The second un-used conduit entry must be sealed with

an explosion-proof blanking plug�

4. Connect a 4-20mA current source, either through the Jack-

Plug source or Terminal connections� Ensure that it can

supply at least 6�5V at 20mA� Check for correct polarity�

DO NOT use a voltage source; it will irreversibly damage

the converter�

5. Switch on the air supply and current source and allow a

few seconds stabilisation time� Adjust span and zero via

the trimpots if necessary�

If the instrument fails to operate refer to the Simple Functional

Checks�

General Description

These converters are precision electronic pressure controllers

designed for continuous process control applications� The units

operate a closed loop system incorporating a feedback sensor

ensuring long-term stability and high accuracy performance,

with ‘fail-safe’ operation, i�e� the output falls to a low pressure

upon failure of the loop current�

These instruments combine substantial flow capacity, with the

ability to give precise control into closed volume ‘dead end’

applications�

The instrument has been designed to withstand the rigours

of industrial environments; such as shock, vibration and

positional effects� As with any other precision instrument

dropping the unit onto a hard surface may result in shifts in

calibration or possibly permanent damage� The unit may be

mounted directly upon a control valve� A mounting bracket is

provided for surface mounting, or the instrument may be fixed

directly to rigid pipework�

The electronics are enclosed within a watertight housing,

which is suitable for outdoor use if a suitable cable gland is

used� The lid should be firmly tightened, the use of a tool for

this purpose is not recommended�

To meet the EMC specifications, screened cable should be used

for installation� The cable screen should be connected to the

internal earth bonding point of the I/P� An earth strap should

also be connected from the external earth bonding point of

the I/P to a common earth point� The cable screen should not

be connected at the signal source when used in Intrinsically

Safe (IS) environments� The I/P has been thoroughly tested in

accordance with:

Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC)

Generic Standards – Immunity for industrial environments

Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC)

Generic Emissions Standard – Industrial environment

Please consult wiring diagram for further information� The

results obtained from these tests show that with the screen

arrangement shown in the installation diagram, the typical

sustained output pressure shift is <+/-5% full scale� Consult

supplier for further details�

Instrument Mounting

The converter can be mounted directly onto a valve, onto any

suitable flat surface, or onto 2” (50mm) pipe� Dimensional details:

Figure 2

These converters will operate in any position, with slight

re-calibration adjustments, normal operation is in the upright

position, i�e� with the screwed lid horizontal� The unit is weather

resistant when the lid is removed for connection or calibration,

but should not be left uncovered during operation or for

extended periods of time� They are unaffected by shock and

vibration, but severe vibration environments are best avoided�

The instruments are protected against environmental effects,

to a level of Type 4X (IP66)� Sensible positioning should be used

if the local environment is severe�

Temperature compensation is designed into these converters

which will operate over a range from –40° to +85°C (-40° to

+185°F)� Maximum life is obtained if extreme temperature cycling

is avoided� In extreme direct sunlight, sun-shading is advised�

The pneumatic exhaust and the bleed are routed through the

baffles� The baffles must not be blocked with paint and/or

plastic sheeting etc�

Captured Bleed Version

The baffles and the baffle cover are fitted to maintain the

adequate Ingress Protection (IP) rating of the instrument�

Removal of these protective parts will invalidate the IP and the

NEMA 4X rating of the instrument�

For captured bleed installation, remove the baffle cover and

unscrew both the baffles, fit 1/8" NPT fittings to two separate

lengths of pipes, to exhaust and bleed gas to a safe area

installation�

Vented gas from the enclosure through bleed port must not

be re-circulated and introduced back into the process stream�

Exhaust port installation must not have any restriction to

create backpressure to cause instrument to malfunction�

Instrument installation for captured bleed version must be

under the installer’s discretion�

Note: Exhaust Port is nearer the conduit entry (LH side)

Enclosure Bleed Port is on the RH side. (See Figure 3.)

Figure 3

Pneumatic Installation

These instruments are recommended for use with clean, dry,

oil free instrument grade air to BS�6739:1986 or ANSI/ASA-57�3

1975 (R1981)�

Dew Point: At least 10°C (18°F) below (-40°C) minimum

anticipated ambient temperature�

Dust: Filtered to below 50 microns�

Oil Content: Not to exceed 1ppm mass�

The instrument is factory calibrated with a supply pressure of 30

psig (2 bar) ±10%� Operation is possible at any pressure between

18 and 150 psig (1�3 to 10 bar), though recalibration may be

necessary towards these limits to maintain specified accuracy�

The inlet and outlet ports are threaded 1/4" NPT female and

suitable fittings should be used� For most installations 1/4"

(6mm) pipe will be adequate� If a large actuator, high flow

rates or long pipework is necessary then a larger diameter

should be used�

Plastic tubing, e�g� Nylon is preferable where circumstances

permit, since it is normally very clean internally� In all cases,

purge the supply pipework before connection to the converter�

Two gauge ports are provided to facilitate direct mounting of

a pressure gauge� To use one of these ports remove the plug

(using a 1/4" or 3/16" Hexagon Key) in a de-pressurized state,

and connect the gauge� The ports are threaded 1/4" NPT at

the back of the unit and 1/8" NPT at the front�

Exhaust Port Enclosure Bleed Port

Under no circumstances should PTFE tape be used for sealing

the fittings as this tends to shred small particles which may

find their way into the instrument causing malfunctions�

The use of a soft setting anaerobic hydraulic seal is

recommended, (e�g� Loctite Hydraulic Seal 542)� Follow the

manufacturers recommendations�

Do not use an excessive amount as this will not set and could

find its way into the instrument�

If the air supply is not of adequate quality, the device

performance can be affected� Adequate quality can normally

be achieved by the use of air filter regulators�

Electrical Installation

The electrical connections should be made as shown in the

dimensional drawing Figure 1� The instrument is protected

against reverse polarity to –100mA, no operation is possible

in this condition�

The Model 4411 approximates a constant voltage load of 6�5

volts across the loop terminals, therefore it is essential that the

loop controller be capable of providing a constant current in

the range 4-20mA with an output voltage of at least 6�5 volts�

Voltage output controllers (e�g� variable voltage power

supplies) are entirely unsuitable for the Model 4411 and could

severely damage the electronic circuits�

Important Note

The control electronics of the Model 4411 incorporate precision

electronics� The calibration of the unit may be affected by very

high voltage spikes� Consequently, in environments where static

electricity may be present ESD precautions should be used�

Wiring And Cable Entry

These instruments must be installed in accordance with local

and national codes of practice, especially for hazardous

area installations� The instruments are fully isolated from

ground and therefore grounding is unnecessary for functional

purposes� However, grounding may be necessary to conform

to installation codes�

Note: It is strongly recommended that shielded cable or

a grounded conduit be used to achieve maximum RFI

immunity, if the installation has any risk of electromagnetic

interference.

Conduit Entry

The instrument has twin conduit entry threaded 1/2" NPT� For

explosion proof installation, a sealed conduit gland conforming

to explosion-proof specifications must be used� A ground

terminal is provided both internally and externally and should

be used if ground continuity is essential�

The unit is supplied with plastic blanking plugs, which must

be removed before operation/calibration and replaced with a

blanking plug conforming to the hazardous area certification

rating applicable�

Calibration

The instruments are designed for continuous operation

without the necessity for routine overhaul, with continuous

monitoring, adequate precautions and replacement of the

filter no longer than every 5 years�

The most common source of failure for pneumatic

instrumentation has been found to be inadequate air quality,

allowing contaminants to block internal orifices� Air filtering is

included within the instrument but cannot cope with sustained

poor air quality, which may ultimately lead to failure�

The recommendations in the Pneumatic Installation section

should be rigorously observed�

Note: These instruments are factory calibrated at a supply

pressure of 30psig (2 bar).

The instrument cover must be unscrewed to obtain access to

the trimpots�

Do not remove the instrument cover in a potentially explosive

atmosphere when the instrument is powered�

An accurate current source of 4-20mA and pressure gauge are

required� These should be of good quality with an accuracy of

0�1% or better� The current source should be checked to ensure

that it provides at least 6�5V at 20mA output compliance�

• Connect the instrument as described in the installation

section or the test-jack section below�

• Remove the instrument cover to gain access to the

trimpots and jack-socket�

• Set the current to 4�00mA – the instrument outlet should

be 3�00+/-0�05psig (0�200+/-0�003 bar)� Adjust the Zero

trimpot if necessary�

• For 6-30 psig output, the output pressure should be set

to 6�00 ±�05 psig (0�400 ± �003 bar)� Adjust trimpot as

necessary�

• Set the current source to 20�00mA – the instrument outlet

should be 15�00 +/-0�05psig (1�00+/-0�003 bar)� Adjust the

Span trimpot if necessary�

• For 6-30 psig output, the output pressure should be set

to 30�00 ±�05 psig (2�00 ± �003 bar)� Adjust trimpot as

necessary�

If either Span or Zero controls are adjusted it may be

necessary to repeat the above steps until both ends are within

the calibration limits�

Alternatively the Jack Plug can be connected to calibrate and

test the unit� The Jack Plug can be either set-up for Monitoring

or Calibration/Operation set-up�

Masoneilan Model 4411 Electropneumatic Transducer Instruction Manual | 5

Calibration with the Test Jack:

Connect pin 1 of the Jack Plug to the positive (+) lead of the

current calibrator and pin 3 of the Jack Plug to the negative

(-) lead of the current calibrator and then insert the Jack Plug

into the Test Jack� The current calibrator is now the input

signal source� Calibrate as stated above� Removing the Jack

Plug will return operation of the unit back over to the original

current source�

Figure 4

Monitoring with the Test Jack:

Connect pin 1 of the Jack Plug to the negative (-) lead of the

ammeter and pin 2 of the Jack Plug to the positive (+) lead of

the ammeter� Insert the Jack Plug into the Test Jack and use

the ammeter to monitor the input current loop�

Tight Shut-Off Adjustment

Instructions

Figure 5

The Tight Shut-Off potentiometer can be adjusted to set the

zero point at which the instrument ‘shuts off’�

For Example:

Tight shut-off is deactivated in the factory.

Figure 6

Setting of shut-off point:

1. With the instrument under test connected to the required

supply pressure and load ports, apply a demand current

signal of that value at which shut-off is required�

2. If the output pressure is >start-up pressure (~0psi),

adjust potentiometer slowly clockwise until the output

pressure falls to zero� Do not turn the pot beyond this

point� The shut-off point is now set�

Shut-off point check:

Increase the input signal by approximately 0�5mA (e�g� to

3�8mA) the output pressure will rise above 0psi� Reset the input

signal to the required shut off point (e�g� 3�3mA) and the output

pressure will fall to zero�

Simple Functional Checks

Apply a 4-20mA signal and an air supply of 30psig and observe

the output on a pressure gauge� It should control smoothly�

The Test Jack can also be connected as a monitor measure�
