Thank you for choosing NIVELCO instrument.
1. INTRODUCTION
NIPRESS D–B00 series pressure transmitters with ceramic flush sensor measure pressure and convert it into voltage and current output can be used in 2-wire systems.
D-B00 has a really high overpressure resistance thanks to its Al2O399.9% sensor. It is ideal for the measurement of gases, steam, and fluids up to 20 bar (290 psig).
The pressure transmitter is equipped with HART®communication, and available with several process connections and available with die-cast aluminum or stainless-
steel housing materials. The transmitter is can be parameterized using three miniature keys on the display module, or the magnetic switches located under the metal
cap, or by a HART®communicator. Ex version is also available.

3.2 ACCESSORIES
- User’s and programming manual
- Warranty card
- EU declaration of conformity
3.3 SPECIAL CONDITIONS OF SAFE USE
Before turning on the device, make sure the installation is complete, with no defects visible.
The device may only be used within the limitations specified in the technical specifications.
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 intrinsically safe Ex ia IIC circuits complying with the technical data and the device’s
explosion protection marking.
Attention! 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!
Avoid friction on plastic surfaces!
Do not clean the device dry!
For example, use a wet duster!
Use exclusively Ex d IIC cable entry for devices with Ex d flameproof protection!
For Ex d models, the cover must be secured against opening after the cover is closed by a safety locking screw!
With 1/2 Ex marking device, the sensor membrane also serves as a partition between the Ex zones, therefore it must be protected against mechanical damage.
The aluminum content of the die-cast aluminum alloy case exceeds the limit, which requires the device must be protected against any possible sources of spark
or ignition resulted by impact or friction effects in an Ex environment.
The metal housing of the device must be connected to the EP (equipotential) network!

4. INSTALLATION
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 level measurement, it is advisable to screw the transmitter to the stump on the side of the tank.
Remove the packaging and protective cap just before the beginning of the assembly to avoid the damage of the diaphragm. Keep the protective cap!
In case if the installing of the unit is not immediate, the protective cap must be reinstated as soon as possible!
Treat any unprotected diaphragm with utmost care; as this part can be damaged very easily.
The device can be installed in-, or outdoors. Select the mounting position such that there is enough space for installation, programming and reading of the display.
Do not expose the device to direct sunlight when using outdoors! If you do so, direct solar radiation might cause that the permissible operating temperature of the
device would be exceeded. This is to be particularly avoided in case if the device is used in any explosion-hazardous area!
Select the operating position, so that splashed and condensed water can be drained off. Stationary liquid on sealing surfaces must be avoided! If the device has cable
outlet, the outgoing cable must be routed downwards. If the cable needed to be routed upwards, this must be done in an initially downward curve.
4.1 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.
Torque should only be transferred to the hexagonal screw on the instrument body (torque wrench).
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.
Install the device only in depressurized and disconnected state!
Do not install the device where there is any risk of explosion. Do not open or configure the device in explosive area under normal operating conditions! For this reason,
it is recommended that the display and operating module is positioned at the same time as the mechanical installation. An important feature of the NIPRESS D-B00
family, that the individual functions can be set with the help of three miniatures, or the magnetic switches located under the metal cap. This has the advantage that the
device can be configured with the magnetic switches without opening the chambers. Right after configuration, the metal cap has to be reinstated and tightened
again, by hand!
Ensure that moisture cannot enter the device! The seals and sealing surfaces must not get dirty, as (depending on application and location) foulings might cause a
reduced degree of protection and conclusively might even lead to device failure or an irreparable damage of the device.
Positioning the display
The display and the operating module can be rotated continuously, to guarantee easy readability even in unusual mounting positions. The module is equipped with a
turning limiter which allows the part to be rotated by 315°.
