Trend indicator : on the screen, a trend indicator represented by a rising arrow, a going down arrow or a stable arrow is
displayed above the measurement unit. It means the calculation of a moving average on the last hour (M1) to compare with
a moving average on the last 5 minutes (M2) :
• If M1 = M2, the trend is stable.
• If M1 < M2, the trend is upwards.
• If M1 > M2, the trend is downward.
This trend indicator is displayed after 5 minutes.

Indicator light : the indicator light indicates that the transmitter if powered on.

Sensitive
It's extremely unwise to remove the protection tip of our hygrometry probes as Protection tip element
the sensitive element is very fragile even to light contacts. However, if you to unscrew
have to remove the protection tip, take all possible precautions and avoid any
contact with the sensitive element. Sensitive

3.4.3 Perform an output diagnostic

This function allows to check on a measurement device (multimeter, regulator or automate) the proper functioning of the
outputs. The transmitter will generate a voltage (between 0 and 10 V) or a current (between 0 and 20 mA) according to the
setting of the type of output.
• For a 0-10 V output signal, the transmitter will generate 0 – 5 or 10 V.
• For a 0-5 V output signal, the transmitter will generate 0 – 2.5 or 5 V.
• For a 4-20 mA output signal, the transmitter will generate 4 – 12 or 20 mA.
• For a 0-20 mA output signal, the transmitter will generate 0 – 10 or 20 mA.

Before carrying out the output diagnostics, all connections and configurations of the transmitter must be
enabled, to avoid any damage on the transmitter and the measurement device !

➢ Select a channel for the outputs diagnostic.

OUT1, OUT2, OUT3* or OUT4* indicated on the electronic board above the terminal blocks.
➢

➢ Connect a measurement device on the output 1, 2, 3* or 4*.

* : optional outputs

Once the connection to the measurement device is complete, the output diagnostic on several check points can be
performed :

➢ Go to “Diagnostic” line then press OK.

According to the type of output, the transmitter displays the outputs it will generate.

➢ Use Up/Down/Left/Right arrows to enter a correction factor then press OK.

The correction factor must be between 0.2 and 2.

Enter an integration in air velocity : The air velocity measurement element of the transmitter is very sensitive and reacts
to air velocity changes. When making measurements in unstable air systems, the air velocity measurement may fluctuate.
The integration coefficient (from 0 to 9) makes an average of the measurement ; this helps to avoid any excessive
variations and guarantees a stable measurement.
New displayed value = [((10 - Coef.) x New Value) + (Coef. x Old value)] /10
Example : C310 with hotwire (0-30 m/s) – Current measurement : 2 m/s – New measurement : 8 m/s
The air velocity source being unstable, the user selects a strong integration. Integration : 7. The variation is lower than 10
m/s, it is possible to apply the integration calculation formula.
Next displayed value : ((2 * 8) + (7 *2 ))/10 = 3 m/s.

➢ Press OK.
➢ Enter the security code then press OK.
➢ Go to the “Parameters” line then press OK.
➢ Go to “Probe 1” or “Probe 2” line (according to the channel of the air velocity/airflow probe) then press OK.
➢ Go to “Air velocity integration” line then press OK.

3.6.3 Configure a board

A pressure board must be connected to the transmitter.

For the air velocity/airflow settings, the “Air velocity/airflow” option must be activated.

Select the measuring device :

➢ Press OK.
➢ Enter the security code then press OK.
➢ Go to the “Parameters” line then press OK.

19
 ➢ Go to “Board” line then press OK.
➢ Go to “Air velocity/airflow” line then press OK.
➢ Press OK on “Measure mean” line then use Up and Down arrows to select :
• Pitot tube L (coefficient : 1.0015)
• Pitot tube S (coefficient : 0.84)
• Debimo blades (coefficient : 0.8165)
• le coefficient of the element (free coefficient)
➢ Press OK.

Select the type of section : 3 selections are possible : rectangular or circular section or airflow coefficient.
• For the rectangular and circular sections : see chapter 3.6.1
• For the airflow coefficient :
➢ Press OK on “Section type” line then select “Flow coeff”.
➢ Press OK on “Coefficient” line then enter the coefficient with Up/Down/Left/Right arrows.
➢ Press OK.
➢ Press OK on “Reference unit” line then select the unit with Up and Down arrows.
➢ Press OK.
This airflow coefficient allows to calculate an airflow from the pressure. It is indicated by the manufacturer of the devices
supplied with pressure connections (+ and -). From the square root of the measured pressure (Delta P) and from this
coefficient, you get the airflow. Airflow = C D x √ Δpressure

The coefficient must be between 0.1 and 9999.9.

The available units for the reference unit are : Pa, mmH2O, inWg and mbar.

Enter a correction factor : this correction coefficient allows to adjust the transmitter according to data in air velocity of the
installation.
How to calculate it ? For example, the air velocity in your section is 17 m/s and the transmitter displays 16.6 m/s. The
coefficient to apply is 17 / 16,6 it means 1.024.
➢ Press OK.
➢ Enter the security code then press OK.
➢ Go to the “Parameters” line then press OK.
➢ Go to “Board” line then press OK.
➢ Go to “Correction factor” line then press OK.
➢ Use Up/Down/Left/Right arrows to enter a correction factor then press OK.

The correction factor must be between 0.2 and 2.

temperature value. Indeed, measured air velocity and airflow with a Pitot tube or Debimo blades (or other differential
pressure element) depends on operating temperature. It is required to enter the operating temperature in order to get
more accurate results. It is possible to enter the value manually or to use a thermocouple K probe for an automatic
temperature compensation.
➢ Press OK.
➢ Enter the security code then press OK.
➢ Go to the “Parameters” line then press OK.
➢ Go to “Board” line then press OK.
➢ Go to “Compensation” line then press OK.
➢ Press OK on “Temperature” line then select :
• Manual entry to enter manually a temperature : press OK then select the unit (°C or °F) then enter a value
between -50 and +50 °C.
• Auto (thermocouple) : the transmitter will take into account the measured temperature by a thermocuple probe
connected to the pressure board.

20
 • Auto (probe 1) : the transmitter will take into account the measured temperature by a temperature probe
connected to the transmitter at the location “Probe 1”.
➢ Go to “Atmo pressure” line then select the unit with Up and Down keys.
➢ Press OK.
➢ Enter a value. This value must be between :
• 0 and 4000 hPa
• 0 and 4000 mbar
• 0 and 3000.24 mmHg
• 0 and 10 000 m (altitude)

➢ Go to “Board” line then press OK.
➢ Go to “Pressure integration” line then press OK.
➢ Use Up and Down arrows to select an integration then press OK.

The pressure integration must be between 0 and 9.

Enter the time-delay between two autozeros : Thanks to the temperature compensation of the gain (from 0 to 50°C) and
to the autozero system, Class 310 transmitters guarantee an excellent long-term stability, along with a great measurement
accuracy.
Autozero principle : the microprocessor drives a solenoid valve that compensates for any long-term drift of the sensitive
element.
Compensation is made by regular automatic adjustment of the zero. True differential pressure measurement is then made
regardless of the environmental conditions of the transmitter.
➢ Press OK.
➢ Enter the security code then press OK.
➢ Go to the “Parameters” line then press OK.
➢ Go to “Board” line then press OK.

analogue outputs, and to activate the relay 1, in order to actuate a de-dust system of an air movement conditions system
and to activate the relay 2 in order to isolate the transmitter.
Here is the detailed process of the purge mode :
• 1 – Measurement is frozen.
• 2 – Wait for 3 seconds.
• 3 – Activation of the relay 2 (isolation of the transmitter).
• 4 – Wait for time-delay (e.g : 10 seconds).
