3.2 Principle of operation
RD150 is suitable for measured value indication and adjustment of
sensors with HART protocol. The instrument is looped directly into
the 4 … 20 mA HART signal line at any location. Separate external
energy is not necessary. RD150 also operates exclusively as an
indicating instrument in a 4 … 20 mA current loop.
The sensor adjustment is carried out in the RD150 integrated in the
display and adjustment module.

RD150 operates exclusively as a display instrument.
Adjustment range: Indication scaling RD150
HART mode: when operated with a 4 … 20 mA/HART sensor, the
RD150 operates as display and HART adjusment instrument.
The parameter adjustment of the sensor is carried out via HART com-
munication. During the parameter adjustment, the RD150 operates as
a Primary or Secondary Master to the sensor.
Adjustment range: Sensor adjustment, indication scaling RD150
HART multidrop: the RD150 can be also used as an indicating
device for a bus participant in a HART multidrop system.

3.3 Packaging, transport and storage
Your instrument was protected by packaging during transport. Its
capacity to handle normal loads during transport is assured by a test
based on ISO 4180.
The packaging of standard instruments consists of environment-
friendly, recyclable cardboard. For special versions, PE foam or PE
foil is also used. Dispose of the packaging material via specialised
recycling companies.
Transport must be carried out in due consideration of the notes on the
transport packaging. Nonobservance of these instructions can cause
damage to the device.
The delivery must be checked for completeness and possible transit
damage immediately at receipt. Ascertained transit damage or con-
cealed defects must be appropriately dealt with.
Up to the time of installation, the packages must be left closed and
stored according to the orientation and storage markings on the
outside.
Unless otherwise indicated, the packages must be stored only under
the following conditions:
• Not in the open
• Dry and dust free
• Not exposed to corrosive media
• Protected against solar radiation
• Avoiding mechanical shock and vibration
• Storage and transport temperature see chapter "Supplement -
Technical data - Ambient conditions"
• Relative humidity 20 … 85 %

4.1 General instructions
RD150 functions in any installation position.
Protect your instrument against moisture ingress through the following
measures:
• Use a suitable connection cable (see chapter "Connecting to
power supply")
• Tighten the cable gland or plug connector
• Whenmountinghorizontally,turnthehousingsothatthecable
gland or plug connector point downward
• Lead the connection cable downward in front of the cable entry or
plug connector.
This applies mainly to outdoor installations, in areas where high
humidity is expected (e.g. through cleaning processes) and on cooled
or heated vessels.
To maintain the housing protection, make sure that the housing lid is
closed during operation and locked, if necessary.
Makesurethatthedegreeofcontaminationspeciedinchapter
"Technical data" meets the existing ambient conditions.

5 Connecting to power supply
5.1 Preparing the connection
Always keep in mind the following safety instructions:
• Carry out electrical connection by trained personnel authorised by
the plant operator
• If overvoltage surges are expected, overvoltage arresters should
be installed
Warning:
Connect only in the complete absence of line voltage.
Power supply and current signal are carried on the same two-wire
cable.Thevoltagesupplyrangecandierdependingonthesensor.
Thedataforpowersupplyarespeciedinchapter"Technical data".
Make sure that the supply circuits are separated from the mains
circuits and of an energy-limited voltage supply, e.g. of "Class 2" (acc.
to UL 1310, NEC 725 or CAN/CSA C22.2 No. 223), according to inter-
nationallyharmonizedstandardIEC61010-1.
Keepinmindthefollowingadditionalfactorsthatinuencetheoperat-
ing voltage:
• Output voltage of the power supply unit can be lower under nomi-
nal load (with a sensor current of 20.5 mA resp. 22 mA in case of
fault message)
• Voltage loss on the RD150 (see supply circuit in chapter "Techni-
cal data")
Youcanndinformationontheloadresistanceinchapter"Technical
data", (voltage supply of the respective sensor)
The instrument is connected with standard two-wire cable without
screen. If electromagnetic interference is expected which is above the
test values of EN 61326-1 for industrial areas, screened cable should
be used.
We generally recommend the use of screened cable for HART mode.
Usecablewithroundcross-section.Toensurethesealeectofthe
cablegland(IPprotectionrating),ndoutwhichcableouterdiameter
thecableglandissuitablefor.Useacableglandttingthecable
diameter.
Youcanndanoverviewofthecableglandsinchapter"Technical
data".
Metric threads
In the case of instrument housings with metric thread, the cable
glands are screwed in at the factory.They are sealed with plastic
plugs as transport protection.
You have to remove these plugs before electrical connection.

Cable glands

16 MAN-100472RD150 - Operating Instructions
57030-EN-180717
NPT thread
In the case of instrument housings with self-sealing NPT threads, it is
not possible to have the cable entries screwed in at the factory. The
free openings for the cable glands are therefore covered with red dust
protection caps as transport protection.
Prior to setup you have to replace these protective caps with ap-
proved cable glands or close the openings with suitable blind plugs.
On plastic housings, the NPT cable gland or the Conduit steel tube
must be screwed into the threaded insert without grease.
Max. torque for all housings, see chapter "Technical data".
If screened cable is necessary, we recommend connecting the cable
screen on both ends to ground potential. In the RD150, the screen
should be connected directly to the internal ground terminal.
In Ex systems it must be ensured that the grounding complies with the
installation regulations.
In electroplating plants as well as plants for cathodic corrosion protec-
tionitmustbetakenintoaccountthatsignicantpotentialdierences
exist.This can lead to unacceptably high currents in the cable screen
if it is grounded at both ends.
5.2 Connection technology and steps
The voltage supply and signal output are connected via the spring-
loaded terminals in the housing.
Connection to the display and adjustment module or to the interface
adapter is carried out via contact pins in the housing.
Information:
The terminal block is pluggable and can be removed from the
electronics.To do this, lift the terminal block with a small screwdriver
and pull it out. When reinserting the terminal block, you should hear it
snap in.
Proceed as follows:
1. Unscrew the housing lid
2. If a display and adjustment module is installed, remove it by turn-
ing it slightly to the left
3. Loosen compression nut of the cable gland and remove blind
plug
4. Remove approx. 10 cm (4 in) of the cable mantle, strip approx.
1 cm (0.4 in) of insulation from the ends of the individual wires
5. Insert the cable into the sensor through the cable entry

7. Check the hold of the wires in the terminals by lightly pulling on
them
8. Connect the screen to the internal ground terminal, connect the
external ground terminal to potential equalisation
9. Tighten the compression nut of the cable entry gland. The seal
ring must completely encircle the cable
10. Reinsert the display and adjustment module, if one was installed
