1.0 GENERAL
The transmitter is a second generation 'Smart' in head temperature transmitter that
accepts any commonly used temperature sensor, slidewire transducer or millivolt
signal and converts the output to the industry standard (4 to 20) mA transmission signal.
The software package M-Config with the USB Configuration module can be used to
program the unit.

2.4 SEM210X VERSION - FOR USE IN POTENTIALLY EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERES
2.4.1 ATEX Certificate
The SEM210X, has been issued with a EC-type examination certificate, confirming
compliance with the European ATEX directive 94/9/EC for :-
Intrinsic safety II 1 G EEx ia IIC T4…T6.
The equipment bears the Community Mark and subject to local codes of practice, may be
installed in any of the European Economic Area (EEA) member countries. The SEM210X
housing is coloured light blue to identify the equipment as suitable for Hazardous area
use. The equipment must be installed and maintained in
accordance with local requirements for electrical equipment for use in potentially
explosive atmospheres, eg EN60079-14 & EN60079-17. This instruction sheet describes
installation which conforms with BS EN60079-14 & BS EN60079-17 Electrical Installation
in Hazardous Areas. When designing systems outside the UK, the local Code of Practice
should be consulted.

2.4.3.2 Environmental protection
This equipment must be housed in an enclosure which provides a degree of
protection of at least IP54. The enclosure must be suitable for the atmosphere and
environment in which it is installed. (eg If of a plastic material, must be resistant to
chemical corrosion, UV light, temperature, humidity, etc).
2.4.3.3 Maintenance
This intrinsically safe equipment contains no user serviceable, adjustable or
replaceable parts. No attempt should be made to repair a faulty SEM210X transmitter, all
units must be returned to the manufacture for repair or replacement. Attempt
service or replacement of parts may invalidate the explosive protection features of the
equipment.

3.0 INSTALLATION
3.1 Mechanical
The transmitter is mounted using two 5.5mm diameter holes, on standard 33 mm
fixing centres and will fit a DIN standard termination head. The transmitter should be
installed with adequate protection from moisture and corrosive atmospheres.
Care must be taken when locating the transmitter to ensure the ambient temperature
remains within the specified operating range. Figure 1 shows the mechanical layout and
a typical application of the transmitter mounted inside a termination head
enclosure, with sensor wires entering through the centre of the transmitter body.
Figure 1
3.2 Electrical
Connections to the transmitter are made to the screw terminals provided on the top face.
No special wires are required for the output connections, but screened twisted pair cable
are the most suitable for long runs. It is recommended that screened cable is used for the
three input signal wires for cable runs greater than one metre. All three input wires must
have the same core diameter to maintain equal lead resistance in each wire. A Ø4.5 mm
hole is provided through the centre of the transmitter to allow sensor wires to be threaded
through the transmitter body direct to the input screw
terminals. The screw terminals have been designed to allow all connection wires to enter
from an inner or an outer direction.
Figure 2 shows the method of connection to provide a (4-20) mA current loop output. The
Pt100 sensor shown would normally take the formof a probe assembly with a three wire
connection. The output loop has a voltage power supply used to provide loop excitation.
The load symbol represents other equipment in the loop, normally indicators, controllers
or loggers. Care must be taken when designing the (4-20) mA circuit to ensure that the
total voltage requirements of all the equipment in the loop added together, does not
exceed the power supply voltage. If a number of instruments are connected in the loop,
ensure that only one instrument is tied to ground. Grounding the loop at two points will
cause a short circuit of part of the loop leading to measurement errors.
To guarantee CE compliance, sensor leads must be less than 3 metres long and the
transmitter housing should prevent access to the transmitter during normal operation.
