Description
Selected technical parameters:
Mechanical assembly
Pressure sensors of the CRV type are used to measure very small pressures (relative and differential ones). The
measured pressure is sensed by a semiconductor strain-gauge sensor or a ceramic capacitive sensor. The
sensors are designed for gases. In case of a semiconductor sensor, gases have to be non-aggressive and dry.
The sensors are not manufactured in the EX design.
The sensors are adjusted at the factory. Further calibration has to be performed according to calibration
instructions.
Pressure ranges: 0.6 kPa to 100 kPa
Accuracy: 0.5% (1%) of range according to range and type of used sensor
Supply voltage range: 19 to 31V DC (12 to 31V DC for sensor without display)
Influence of supply voltage on accuracy: max 0.05% of range / 10 V
Output signal: 4 to 20 mA, two wires (max. load ((Un (V) - 19) / 0.02) Ω)
Influence of load resistance: max.0.05% of range / 10 V
Power polarity reversal resistance and short circuit resistance at the output: permanent
semiconductor sensor capacitive sensor
Operating range of temperatures: -40°C to 80°C 0°C to 60°C
Compensated range of temperatures: 0°C to 60°C 10°C to 40°C
Influence of temperature in the compensated range of temperatures:
a. zero: 0.1 ... 1.8% of range / 10°C depends on the pressure range and the sensor type
b. range: 0.1 ... 1.8% of range / 10°C depends on the pressure range and the sensor type
Material of the box: ABS
Fig. 1 Mechanical dimensions Fig. 2 Location of terminal blocks and adjusting elements on the
printed circuit board (view with the removed cover of the sensor in
a vertical position)
The sensor should be fixed using four clips on the housing. The sensor cannot be placed in an immediate
proximity of interference sources (transformers, transmitters, motors) and heat sources. Shocks or vibrations at
the installation site can cause an error. Correctly, the sensor has to be mounted in a vertical position (pressure
inlets oriented down).
In this position, the sensors are adjusted at the factory. This position prevents a condensate from the penetration
into the sensor. WARNING! Prior to mounting, make sure that there is no liquid in the threaded insert of the
closed valve. Remaining liquid has to be removed properly. The sensor cannot be mounted if there is liquid in the
thread.
Connection of the measured pressure (using 1/4“ hose)
The higher pressure is connected to the "+" inlet, the lower pressure to the "-" inlet. In case of a risk of water
vapor condensation, condensation loops have to be created on the hoses. The version of the sensor for
measuring the relative pressure includes only a single inlet. Blowing into pressure inlets is not allowed. Sensors
to be used up to 100 mbar can be damaged or destroyed by air pressure from lungs.

Display
Settings
In general
Location of control elements and the display
Remove the cover of housing. Connect electrical power using the connection terminals (see Fig. 2). Thread the
outlets through the cable gland. The sensor is equipped with the polarity reversal protection.
The display shows data in pressure units or according to user's request. The user can adjust the range of the
display. After switching on, the output signal can be measured. When changing the output signal, two
circumstances have to be taken into account.
1) The starting time is 5 minutes. After that time, the output signal has to be stable at the zero differential
pressure and the constant temperature.
2) For measuring ranges below 100 mbar, the shift of zero occurs due to the change of the sensor position. After
passing the starting time, the error can be reset by zero-setting potentiometers RP2 or RP101.
When designing the display, a simple operation and a customer control were primarily emphasized. Particular
functions are set by two buttons on the front side via the system of menus.
The settings are permanently saved in the Flash-EPROM memory and can be password-protected against an
unauthorized manipulation.
The indicator of measured values (or individual menus) comprises a four-digit seven-segment display with the
height of digits being 7.62 mm.

Unit
ATTENTION: Adjusted parameters are changed just after changing the display mode.
Erasing the display at a different offset of the pressure sensor
(regardless of the measuring range of the pressure sensor, the pressure reference is necessary)
The unit of the displayed measured value is determined at the time of ordering. By default, bar, mbar and m v.s.
are considered (to be specified when ordering). Nevertheless, the unit can be selected later by attaching one of
the enclosed stickers.
Display of measured values and settings menu
In the center, there is the four-digit display showing the measured value and supporting the configuration. The
measured value is displayed in units defined by the user and depends on the scale and adjusted settings.
Control elements for setting the functions
For the control, two buttons located under a foil can be used. The user moves forward in the menu system or
increases the values on the display by the "▲" button . The "▼" button is used to decrease the values and to
move backward in the menu system.
The menu system is closed. By scrolling the particular menu settings forward and backward, the desired set-
point can be achieved.
By pressing the buttons for a longer time (> 5 seconds), the pulse rate is increased.
By simultaneous pressing of both the buttons,
- the display mode is changed to the configuration mode,
- the adjusted value is saved
or
- the display mode is restored.
During the lifetime of the pressure sensor, the offset (nominally set at 4,000 mA) may shift. This phenomenon
can cause that the display shows a signal value which differs from the adjusted beginning of the measuring
range. The control software of the display considers this phenomenon and offers a function to eliminate this
phenomenon.
•The PAof menu should be selected. Both the buttons should simultaneously be pressed.
•The number 0247 should be entered to select the special function.
•Both the buttons should be pressed simultaneously again. The following sample value appears on the
display.
•Now, the pressure sensor has to be pressurized via the pressure reference. The pressure has to
correspond to the beginning value of the measuring range.
•When pressing both the buttons simultaneously afterwards, the current output signal of the sensor is saved
as an offset. From this moment, the adjusted beginning of the measuring range (zero-point) appears on the
display, although the sensor signal is shifted in the offset.
ATTENTION: Please note that the output signal remains unaffected by this change. Furthermore, the shift
of the range value ("Full Scale") is performed simultaneously with the shift of the offset.

Change of the display at different range of pressure sensor
(regardless of the measuring range of the pressure sensor, the pressure reference is necessary)
During the lifetime of the pressure sensor, the value of the range being nominally at 20,000 mA e.g., might be
shifted. This phenomenon could cause that the display shows a signal value which differs from the adjusted
boundary of the measuring range. In the control software of the display, this phenomenon was considered and a
function eliminating this phenomenon was implemented.
•The PAof menu should be selected.
•Both the buttons should simultaneously be pressed.
•The number 0238 should be entered to select the special function.
•Both the buttons should be pressed simultaneously again. The following sample value appears on the
display.
Entering the data of the basic adjustment of the mechanism ("Load Defaults")
Restrictions on entering a password
•Now, the pressure sensor has to be pressurized via the pressure reference. The pressure has to
correspond to the ending value of the measuring range.
•When pressing both the buttons simultaneously afterwards, the current output signal of the sensor is saved
as a voltage signal. From this moment, the adjusted ending of the measuring range (end-point) appears on
the display, although the sensor signal is shifted in the voltage signal.
ATTENTION: Please note that the output signal remains unaffected by this change.
The control system of the display is equipped with the possibility to re-create the adjustment of the mechanism.
That way pre-made changes related to the compensation of the offset or the voltage can be performed
retroactively.
•To load the basic adjustment, the PAof menu should be selected.
•Then, both the buttons should simultaneously be pressed.
•The number 0729 should be entered to select the special function.
•Both the buttons should be pressed simultaneously again. The following sample value appears on the
display,
•If both the buttons are simultaneously pressed again, the basic adjustment of the mechanism is activated
again.
Dealing with special functions for the compensation of the offset, the range, recording the basic adjustment and
password change, various codes have been entered to call the function.
ATTENTION: Please note that these codes cannot be used as passwords.

If the password is activated, the user is asked to enter the unlock code
after pressing both the control buttons to make settings in the menu
system.
If not activate, the password can be activated by pressing both the
buttons simultaneously and entering a predetermined secret number.
In settings of the mechanism, 5 is the secret number. To change this
number, both the buttons should be pressed simultaneously in this
menu. Then, the number 0835 should be adjusted by the cursor.
Afterwards, both the buttons should be pressed simultaneously again,
and the secret number within 0 and 9999 should be adjusted by cursor
buttons. The number is confirmed by pressing the cursor buttons
simultaneously. That way, the new password is adjusted. To activate
the password protection, instructions given in the PAon menu should
be followed.
After pressing of both the buttons simultaneously, position of the
decimal point can be adjusted. The desired position can be selected
using "▲" or "▼" buttons. Pressing both the buttons simultaneously,
the settings are closed.
Pressing both the buttons simultaneously, zero can be adjusted. The
adjusted value is shown when the electrical output signal of the
pressure sensor corresponds to 4 mA (zero). Pressing both the buttons
simultaneously, the settings are closed.
After pressing both the buttons simultaneously, the ending point can be
adjusted. The programmed value is shown when the electrical output
signal of the pressure sensor corresponds to 20 mA (the ending point).
Pressing both the buttons simultaneously, the settings are closed.
After pressing both the buttons simultaneously, the time interval for
updating the displayed value can be adjusted. The range of the
adjustment is from 0.3 to 30 seconds. To close the configuration, both
the buttons should be pressed simultaneously.
After pressing both the buttons simultaneously, the report about
exceeding or failing to meet the display range can be activated. Only
the "ON" status or the "OFF" status can be selected. Pressing both the
buttons simultaneously, the settings are closed.
After pressing both the buttons simultaneously, the maximum pressure
saved during the measurement is displayed. If both the buttons are
within one-second interval pressed again, the saved value is deleted.
Please note that the value does not stay saved when the power supply
is interrupted (current loop).

After pressing both the buttons simultaneously, the minimum pressure
saved during the measurement is displayed. If both the buttons are
within one-second interval pressed again, the saved value is deleted.
Please note that the value does not stay saved when the power supply
is interrupted (current loop).
The range of storage temperatures: -10°C to +50°C.
When transporting, make sure that both the inputs of differential pressure sensors are open.
Required equipment: pressure gauge: (e.g., high-precision digital pressure gauge)
pressure source: (e.g., a pump, a bag)
power supply: according to the design of the pressure gauge
measuring device: mA-meter for measuring the output signal.
Output settings:
1. 1The sensor should be connected to the corresponding power supply (see operating instructions).
Instead of a load resistor and a voltmeter, a suitable mA-meter of the accuracy class at least 2 times better
than the sensor should be connected.
2. After switching on, the starting time should be let to pass (see operating instructions).
3. Adjusting zero (trimmers RP2 or RP101)
When adjusting zero, both the pressure inputs have to be open. The output current is adjusted to 4 mA by
the RP2 trimmer or the RP101 trimmer (only one of them is available).
4. Adjusting range (trimmers RP1 or RP102)
The nominal pressure is set on the pressure source. This pressure is connected to the inlet "+" (at over-
pressure) or to the inlet "-" (at under-pressure). The output current is adjusted to 20mA by the RP2 trimmer
or the RP101 trimmer (only one of them is available). If necessary, the procedure according to points 3)
and 4) is repeated.
