Paragon Controls Incorporated 1 Revision Level 012
1. INTRODUCTION
1.1. DESCRIPTION
The MicroTrans
EQ
Signal Processor employs current state-of-the-art digital microprocessor technology
to produce highly stable and accurate differential pressure and air flow measurements. The
MicroTrans
EQ
is factory configured and calibrated to the exact specification determined at time of order.
Simple field configuration of engineering units, operating range, process noise filtering, alarm set points,
etc., are performed via password protected intuitive menus that are accessed through the integral six
button touch pad. Device monitoring and configuration can also be performed by a building
management system through a LonWorks®, BACnet®-MS/TP Master, or Modbus® Slave
communication network. Optional features include AutoZero; High/Low Remote Alarms; Temperature
Compensation; and LonWorks®, BACnet®-MS/TP Master, and Modbus® Slave communication.
1.2. BASIC OPERATION
The transducer receives a differential pressure signal from the pressure or flow sensing element. This
signal is scaled and linearized before being displayed and transmitted out as a 4-20mA, 0-5VDC, or 0-
10VDC signal.
The AutoZero option detects and corrects any zero offset caused by large ambient temperature changes.
The Temperature Compensation option compensates the flow and velocity signal for density changes
caused by variations in the process air temperature. An external temperature transmitter or input signal
from the building management system is required.

1.4. SAFETY
1.4.1. Electrical Connections
Before any electrical connections are made, ensure the POWER SWITCH is in the OFF position.
1.4.2. Static Electricity
The circuit board contains components which are susceptible to damage caused by static electrical
discharge. Should it be necessary to remove the circuit board from the enclosure, appropriate
precautions must first be taken to ensure that the operator and the circuit board are at the same electrical
potential.

3.1. ELECTRICAL & PNEUMATIC INSTALLATION
- NEMA 1 & 4 Option - Remove the cover by turning each corner cover mounting screw
counter clockwise.
- Both NEMA 1 & NEMA 4 enclosures incorporate three 1/2 inch conduit connections and
one 3/4 inch conduit connection to interface all electrical wiring and pneumatic tubing to the
device. Determine which conduit connection will be used and remove the black plug and
install the appropriate conduit fitting (By Others).
- The three electrical connectors (J1, J2, and J3) located on the MicroTrans
EQ
board have
removable terminal blocks for ease of installing the interface wiring. (Caution - All electrical
connections must be made with the MicroTrans
EQ
power switch in the OFF position).

the Fixed Value Menu (see Section 5.3.5) is used. The Standard Fixed Value is 68˚F. If Variable is
selected an external temperature input signal is required (see Sections 5.3.1 through 5.3.3). If Net is
selected, the temperature input signal is obtained through network communications. The Net option is
only available if one of the communication options is ordered (see Sections 9.11 through 9.13). The
temperature value is only displayed on the LCD screen, if the Temperature Input is set to Variable or
Net.
