1. General Precautions
The system must be used only in accordance with the required protection level.
The sensor must be protected against accidental knocks and used in accordance with the instrument’s ambient characteristics and per-
formance levels.
Sensors must be powered with non distributed networks.
For outdoor installations or with cables longer than 30 m*, proceed as indicated at paragraph 3.
(*) See further limitations for Safety applications at paragraph 5.
2. Transmitters with amplified analog output
Transducers: KS SIL2 Series
Outputs: 0.5...10.5V; 0.5...5.5V; 0.1...10.1V; 0.1...10.V; 1...5V; 1...6V; 1...10V; 0.2...10.2V; 0.5...4.5V ratiometric; 4...20mA, etc...
Installation remarks
- The transducer must be grounded (normally through the machine body or equipment it is installed on).
- Use a shielded cable only. The cable shield must be grounded on PLC side and left floating on machine side (on KS version with M12
electrical connector it’s possible to connect the shield on machine side by leaving floating the PLC side).
- To prevent interference, separate the power cables from the signal cables.

5. Functional Safety (content according to IEC/EN 62061 paragraph 7)
5.1 Application
The pressure sensor KS performs the following safety function:
correct reading and transduction of pressure to individuate overpressure. Reading and transduction is considered cor-
rect when it is within the specifications declared in the datasheet and in the Operating Manual.
The SIL parameters of the transducer are shown in the table below:

SIL 2 --
The diagram “A” (Fig. 1) shows a possible application: the sensor detects the pressure and transduces it in an analog
electrical signal proportional to the value of the measured value; the SRP / CS compares the signal with the one set as
the alarm threshold: in case of exceeding the threshold it shall disable the elements of pressure generation.

5.2 Restrictions of use
The device must only be used in accordance with these operating instructions for mechanical installation, electrical con-
nection, environmental conditions and use in order
to maintain the declared SIL. The sensors must be powered by non-distributed networks and in any case with a length
of less than 30 m.
5.3 Maintenance and periodic inspections
Periodic maintenance to carry-out in order to guarantee the justified exclusion of failures are:
- Visual inspection of the status of the electrical and mechanical connections.
The maintenance is designed to evaluate possible problems due to situations of incorrect mounting endured over time
or particular aggressiveness of the material processed.
Frequency: every two years
Check obstruction of the channel under pressure
- The maintenance has the purpose to verify that there are no occlusion of the pressure channel, which would lead to
malfunctioning.
The inspection is visual, after removing the probe from the process seat.
Frequency: every year.
Testing the sensor calibration
- The test is intended to check the correctness of the transduction curve of the sensor. It’s done by applying known
pressure points to the transducer and checking the output values of the probe.
Frequency: every four years.
5.4 Indication of response time
The response time to the pressure transduction is equal to 1 ms
5.5 Indications and alarms
The KS Series pressure sensors in the case of some specific anomalies provide output saturation (positive HIGH or
negative LOW).
The table 1 indicates the detected failures, their effect on the electrical output, and the recovery mode of the device.

2. Check for overheating of electronics hou-
sing. Remove the causes of overheating, wait
until it cools down and power the sensor.
3. Powered the probe again, if the problem
persists, you should send back the probe to
Factory for repair.

1. Power down and remove the sensor
2. Check that the power supply is connected.
If necessary, restore the power supply.
3. Check for continuity between the pins of
the connector and the power supply.
If necessary, replace the cable and the con-
nector.
4. Check if the power values are within the
specications indicated in this manual. If
necessary, replace the power supply.
5. If the problem persists, you should send
back the probe to Factory for repair.
