2. Note
Please read these operating instructions before unpacking and putting the unit
into operation. Follow the instruction precisely as described herein.
The devices are only to be used, maintained and serviced by persons familiar
with these operating instructions and in accordance with local regulations
applying to Health & Safety and prevention of accidents.
When used in machines, the measuring unit should be used only when the
machines fulfil the EWG-machine guidelines.
3. Instrument Inspection
Instruments are inspected before shipping and sent out in perfect condition.
Should damage to a device be visible, we recommend a thorough inspection of
the delivery packaging. In case of damage, please inform your parcel service /
forwarding agent immediately, since they are responsible for damages during
transit.
Scope of delivery:
•Pressure Transmitter with Digital Display model: PDA
•Operating Instructions
4. Operating Principle
KOBOLD pressure indicator/transmitter series PDA, are cost effective electronic
pressure indicator/transmitters with digital indication of actual pressure.
An analogue output (0)4 - 20 mA is available for remote transmission of the
measured value. The device is optionally available in addition with a switching
output.
A piezzo resistive ceramic cell is used. The units can be used where high
switching accuracy is needed. Long-term stability, repeatability and the compact,
robust design makes it an ideal unit for use in OEM applications.

5. Regulation Use
Pressure transmitters are used to measure pressure in vessels, hydraulic and
pneumatic plant, refrigeration equipment and so forth.
The devices may only be used for liquids to which the probe and housing
materials are chemically resistant.
6. Mechanical Connection
Pressure taps should be prepared according to the following specifications for the
screw-in holes.
Gaskets to DIN 16 258 or formed gaskets are recommended for sealing British
Standard Parallel Pipe thread (BSPP). The required tightening torque depends on
the material and shape of the gasket used, and on the pressure port in the
pressure sensor. National Pipe Thread (NPT) fittings should be sealed with an
appropriate pipe thread sealant. Exposure to violent shocks and heat radiation
should be avoided.
The permissible service conditions for the pressure sensors should be observed.
When the pressure connection has been made and the power supply connected,
the sensor is ready for operation.

7. Electrical Connection
Important! Make sure that the voltages in your plant correspond
with the voltages on the nameplate.
•Make sure that the electrical supply lines are dead.
•The supply is connected through connector socket M12x1 as shown in the
wiring diagram below.
•Mating plugs with different cable lengths are available as options.
Important! The instrument electronics may be damaged if the
cable connections are connected incorrectly.

8. Commissioning
Caution! Please note that if operated at high system temperatures
the case surface and controls can become very hot.
Connect the pressure transmitter according to the wiring diagram above
and supply it with the specified voltage.
The measuring range (upper range value) is displayed for 3 seconds after
switch on.
