Thank you for choosing NIVELCO instrument.
We are convinced that you will be satisfied with our product!
1. APPLICATION
NIPRESS D-500 series pressure transmitters with ceramic flush sensor measure pressure and convert it into
voltage and current output can be used in either 2- and 3-wire systems. The design, the overload capacity and
the resistance to various temperature ranges, as well as the versatility of the mounting options and positions
makes these transmitters applicable even under the most demanding industrial conditions. NIPRESS D-500
series is especially suitable for the measurement of aggressive, contaminated, pasty media, and for low pressure
oxygen applications. Transmitters can be delivered with plug in display UNICONT PLK-501 enabling on site
reading.

3. INSTALLATION
Due to its small size and weight NIPRESS D-500 can be directly installed on tanks,
pipes, machines, etc. without any mounting aids.
To enable the safe replacement of the instrument during operation the use of closing
armature is recommended. A simple ball valve will be suitable for lower pressures
and for higher pressures (above 6 bar) a three-way blow-off needle-valve can be
suggested.
In case of outside installation, the unit should be protected against rain or splash
water, because malfunction may occur from a leakage if the connector’s screw is
improperly tightened (i.e. not appropriate sealing).
3.1 INSTALLATION INSTRUCTION
The measured medium – depending on its type and properties, might be hazardous
to the installer. Therefore, the wear of appropriate protective clothing, gloves, and
goggles are recommended.
Be careful because the membrane is very vulnerable!
Torque should only be transferred to the hexagonal screw on the instrument body
(torque wrench). The cylindrical housing of the transmitter must not be gripped
and tightened with a pipe wrench!
The plug-in electric connector can be unplugged after releasing and removing its
fastening screw. The connection insert can be pushed out by a screw driver from
the direction of the screw. The terminal block can be rotated with 90° within the
housing, so that the orientation of the cable gland could be changed to face
downwards. This is to prevent any leakages of the housing and subsequent
damages may occur. The power cable is to be connected with the relevant points of
the connector by guiding it through the cable gland (ISO 4400). Make sure if the
cable gland and the sealing plate of the connector tightened properly!Tighten the
screw of the connector so that the sealing plate underneath seals properly!
For the sake of noise suppression, the transmitter housing is grounded. If the
grounding of the process is correct no further grounding is needed, otherwise the
instrument should be grounded.
When installing the device, avoid high mechanical stresses on the pressure port!
This is particularly true for the pressure port made of plastic.
Installation steps:
Tightening torques:
¼" BSP: max. 5 Nm;
½" BSP: max. 10 Nm;
¼" NPT: max. 30 Nm;
½" NPT: max. 70 Nm.
The specified tightening torques must not be exceeded!
Mounting steps for BSP thread connections according to DIN 3852
Do not use any additional sealing material such as Teflon tape!
Check if the O-ring is undamaged, it has a flawless and clean surface and seats in
the designated groove properly. Screw the device into the corresponding thread by
hand, and tighten the parts with a suitable torque wrench.
Mounting steps for NPT thread connections:
Use a suitable sealant (e.g. PTFE tape). Turn the device by hand to the correct
thread and tighten it with an open-end torque wrench.
4. WIRING
Shielded and twisted multicore cable is recommended for the electrical connection.
For devices with cable gland, make sure that the external diameter of the used cable
is within the allowed clamping range! Once connected the wires, tighten the gland
screw firmly until proper sealing!
For the installation of a device with an integrated cable, the bending radiuses have
to comply with the following:
Cable without ventilation tube:
-static installation: 8-fold cable diameter,
-dynamic application: 12-fold cable diameter.
Cable with ventilation tube:
-static installation: 10-fold cable diameter,
-dynamic application: 20-fold cable diameter.
In case of devices with cable outlet and integrated ventilation tube, the PTFE filter
located at the cable end on the ventilation tube must not be damaged or missing!

5. SPECIAL CONDITIONS OF SAFE USE
• Before turning on the device, make sure the installation is complete, with no effects
visible. The device may only be used within the limitations specified in the
technical specifications.
• Protection against electrostatic charge:
• The devices may partially contain static charging capable plastic components.
The presence of electrostatic charges may cause a risk of spark generation and
ignition and therefore electrostatic charges must be completely prevented!
-Use a shielded cable!
-Avoid friction on plastic surfaces!
-Do not clean the device dry! For example, use a wet duster!
• The electrical connection of the device must be carried out in a way that the IP20
ingress protection is always ensured!
• Ex ia certified transmitters may only be operated in certified and approved
galvanically isolated intrinsically safe Ex ia circuits complying with the technical
data and the device’s explosion protection marking.
• The heat resistance attribute of the cable insulation must comply with the
permissible ambient temperature at the place of installation!
• The metal housing of the device must be connected to the EP (equipotential)
network!
6. TROUBLESHOOTING
Fault Possible causes Fault detection / remedy
No output signal:
The Connection is improper. Check the connections!
Broken conductor/wire. Check all wires with cable tester!
Defective measuring device
(signal input).
Check the ampere meter (and its
fuse) and the analogue input of
the signal processing unit!
Analog output signal too
low:
Load resistance too high. Check the value of the load
resistance!
Defective energy supply. Check the power supply and
power / current on the transducer
/ transmitter!
Slight shift of the output
signal:
The diaphragm of the
sensor is severely
contaminated.
Cleaning with non-aggressive
cleaning solutions, soft brush or
sponge.
The diaphragm of the
sensor is calcified or
crusted.
It is recommended to clean the
device carefully to ensure all the
dirt is completely removed.
Large shift of the output
signal:
The diaphragm of the
sensor is damaged (caused
by overpressure or
mechanically).
Check the diaphragm of the
sensor, if it is damaged send the
device back to the manufacturer!
7. MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR
The instrument does not require regular maintenance. The repair should only be
carried out at NIVELCO's premises.
When disconnecting the device, it must always be done in depressurized and
disconnected state! Drain the medium before disconnecting the device.
If necessary, clean the diaphragm carefully with non-aggressive cleaning solution,
soft paint-brush or sponge. Improper cleaning may cause the irreparable damage of
the diaphragm. For this reason, never use sharp objects or pressurized air for
cleaning the diaphragm.
Before returning your device for repair, it has to be cleaned carefully,
neutralize/decontaminate the parts wet from the medium might contain harmful
substances. Our appropriate form (Returned Equipment Handling Form) must be
enclosed after downloaded from our homepage www.nivelco.com. You should
dispatch the device with a declaration of decontamination. In the declaration, you
have to provide a statement that the decontamination process is completed, and,
the device is clean and free from harmful material and there is no hazardous
substance on it.
