7MF4232 Operating Instructions
1 Technical Description
Measuring spans between 8.3 mbar and 30 bar are possible. The output signal is a load-independent
direct current of 4 to 20 mA which is linearly proportional to the absolute pressure.
Transmitters with intrinsic safety and flame--proof enclosure protection type can be used in areas where
there is an explosion hazard (zone 1). The certificates of conformity satisfy the European standard
(CENELEC) the American standard (FM) or the Canadian standard (CSA).
The transmitters are available with various types of chemical seal for special applications, e.g. measuring
high viscous substances.
The measuring cell-specific data and the data for parameterization of the transmitter are stored in a
non-volatile EEPROM.
The cable termination point and the electronics’ side are arranged opposite.
In addition to the parameterization with a PC/laptop or HARTR-Communicator (see Figure 1.2) the start
of scale and full scale can be ”fixed” on the transmitter with three external pushbuttons; the parameters
marked with * can be set directly on the transmitter using the digital display without opening the housing.

Functional data
This measuring cell is designed for operation within the measuring limits 0 mbar (abs) to
250 mbar (abs). When storing under normal ambient pressure of about 1000 mbar (abs)
the measuring cell is in the overload state. An overrange error may occur in this state. The
overrange error disappears when operating within the measuring limits. Then the
transmitter operates within its specification again; it may be necessary to readjust the start
of the measuring range.
In pressure measurements with repeated exceeding of the measuring limits (e.g. batch
processes with transitions between vacuum and ventilation) a measuring cell with a
maximum range of 1300 mbar should be selected to avoid overrange errors.

Operating Instructions 7MF4232
2 Installation
2.1 Installation
The transmitter can be installed above or below the pressure tapping point.
When measuring gases we recommend installing the transmitter above the pressure tapping point and
laying the pressure pipe with a constant downward gradient to the pressure tapping point so that
condensation which forms can drain into the main pipe and the measured value is not falsified.
When measuring liquids the transmitter should be installed below the pressure tapping point and the
pressure pipe should have a constant upward gradient so that entrapped gas can escape into the main
pipe.
The installation point should have good access, if possible in the vicinity of the measuring point and should
not be exposed to strong vibration. The permissible ambient temperature limits should not be exceeded.
The transmitter should be protected against direct heat.
The operating data must be compared with the values specified on the rating plate before installation.
The housing must be kept closed during assembly!
14 C79000-B5676-C92-01
7MF4232 Operating Instructions
The range of rotation (7) is marked on the base of the electronics housing; there is a reference mark (6)
on the neck of the measuring cell which must stay within the marked area (7) when rotating.

Operating Instructions 7MF4232
Warning
! The pertinent regulations must be observed for electrical installation; particularly in hazard-
ous areas.
Check whether the auxiliary power supply matches that specified on the rating plate.
The transmitter should be powered from a power source with SELV (safety extra-low voltage). If other
power sources are used, we recommend grounding the transmitter housing. The ground terminal on the
terminal side is connected with the external ground terminal.
. Note
D Sealing caps in the cable inlets should be replaced by suitable compression glands or blank-
ing plugs which must be certified for transmitters with flame--proof enclosure protection
type!
D For laying the connecting cable (max. 1.5 mm2 cross section)/signal cable it generally
applies that:
- the signal cable should laid separately from cables with voltages >60 V
- use cables with twisted pairs
- avoid the vicinity of large electrical installations or use screened cables
- full specification according to HARTR Revision 5 only with screened cables
- Unscrew the housing cover of the terminal side (marked ”FIELD TERMINALS” on the housing)
- Pull out the analog indicator if necessary
- Insert the connecting cable through the compression gland
- Connect wires at the terminals ”+” and ”--”, pay attention to the polarity!
- Insert analog indicator if necessary
- Screw in housing cover
. Note
In transmitters for the protection type “flame-proof enclosure”, the housing cover must be
fastened with the safety angle.

For error-free communication at least one load of 230 Ω must be available in the signal circuit
(see Figure 2.4). When using power supply isolators for Smart transmitters, e.g. Siemens 7NG4021, a
load is already installed in the isolator (see Figure 2.5, page 18). The isolator with intrinsically safe input
circuit (transmitter circuit) is at the same time a safe isolation between the intrinsically safe and the not
intrinsically safe circuit. The HARTR-Modem or the HARTR-Communicator can be connected to the jacks
marked with HK (see Figure 2.5).
Warning
! . The HARTR-Modem may not be used in hazardous areas and must not be connected
to intrinsically safe circuits.

The transmitter is always delivered with a built-in digital indicator (full pushbutton operation possible). The
version of the cover (with or without viewing window is as ordered).
In transmitters with cover without viewing window the pushbuttons and functions are disabled (”LS” in
the digital indicator means: all functions disabled except start of scale and full scale, see Figure 4.3).

If the disabling is released for comfortable operation with the cover open, the function disabling should
be reset after completing the work (see chapter 4.3.3.7, page 31). This reinstates the as-delivered
condition and potential operating errors are avoided.

Operating Instructions 7MF4232
In the version with cover with viewing window (option) or with open cover and released lock, all functions
of the Table 4.1, page 26 are selected with the mode key M . If the M -key is pressed, (Mode) 2 appears
at the bottom left of the digital indicator. Every further keypress increments the mode by 1. With the -key
and the -key the parameters, the current value or the engineering unit are changed and displayed on
the LCD; in the event of an error the word appears, (see chapter 4.3.3.6, page 30). The transmitter
returns to the ”Measured value” function when mode 14 is exceeded with the M -key or 2 minutes after
the last keypress (except mode 8: ”loop check”).
. Note
D If the capacity of the digital indicator is exceeded, the following appears in the indicator
(for smaller engineering units such as Pa).
D If a appears in the mode display, the transmitter parameters are protected against
overwriting (see chapter 4.4, page 32) and the keys locked.
D If a appears in the mode display, the transmitter is in current transmitter or multidrop
operation when operating with a PC/laptop or HARTR-Communicator. The output current
is independent of the applied absolute pressure. The keys are locked.
D For all modes (except 7 and 8) the following applies:
A set new value is only saved when the mode is changed or when the transmitter returns
automatically to the ”Measured value” function about 2 minutes after the last keypress.

If the character appears at the left hand side of the display the measuring limits are exceeded; the
previous setting is not changed.
If appears in the display the set span is greater than the double max. span. If the and
-keys are pressed simultaneously for about 2 s, the full scale is set to 0.0000.
4.3.3.2 Setting start of scale and full scale without pressure transmitter
It is possible to set the start of scale and full scale of the SITRANS P transmitter even if there is no pres-
sure line connected or pressure source available (”blind” calibration).
- Use the or key to set the start of scale in the selected engineering unit
- When pressing both and keys simultaneously for about 2 s, the start of scale is set to zero
(in the selected engineering unit)
D To set the full scale
- Use the or key to set the full scale in the selected engineering unit
- When pressing both and keys simultaneously for about 2 s, the full scale is set to the upper
measuring limit (in the selected engineering unit)
Example 1
A transmitter with a maximum measuring span of 5 bar is to be calibrated to a measuring range of 0 to
3.52 bar to correspond to 4 to 20 mA.
Example 2
A transmitter with a maximum measuring span of 1.3 bar is to be calibrated to a measuring range of
456.7 to 123.4 mm Hg to correspond to 4 to 20 mA.
- Select engineering unit ”mm Hg” in mode 14
- For the start of scale, set the value ”456.7” in mode 5
- For the full scale, set the value ”123.4” in mode 6
Example 3
A transmitter with a maximum measuring span of 250 mbar is calibrated for a measuring range of
0 to 200 mbar to correspond to 4 to 20 mA. The measuring range is to be changed to a setting of 100
to 240 mbar.

7MF4232 Operating Instructions
- When trying to decrease the value using the key, the error note is displayed additionally to the
(not changeable) value
(Explanation: If the start of scale is changed the measuring span remains unchanged. The full scale
300 mbar violates the measuring range limits.)
- Press -and keys together for about 2 s, full scale is set to 250.00 mbar.
- Use the key to set the full scale to 240.00 mbar.
If the transmitter is installed and operational, external influences such as angle of installation, ambient
temperature, or installation dependent pressure effects (e.g. head of liquid in the impulse pipe line to the
transmitter) may cause an offset in the transmitter’s zero point. This offset (max. 20 % of the max. measur-
ing span) can be corrected in the SITRANS P transmitter without modifying the start of scale and full scale
settings in modes 5 and 6 (correction of zero point).
- Evacuate (<0.01 % of measuring span)
The value 0 or 0.0 etc. to 0.0000 is displayed on the LCD, depending on the maximum measuring span
of the transmitter and the selected engineering unit.
. Note
At absolute pressure sensors the start of scale is at vacuum. The zero adjustment in ventilated
transmitters leads to misadjustments! The factory calibration function (accessable only by
HARTR command) will undo misadjustments if neccessary.
Example
A transmitter with a maximum measuring span of 1.3 bar is calibrated for a measuring range of 200 to
800 mbar (4 to 20 mA), i.e. start of scale 200 (mbar) in mode 5, full scale 800 (mbar) in mode 6 and engi-
neering unit ”mbar” in mode 14. The transmitter is, however, being used in hotter conditions, which is
causing an offset (200.3 mbar) in the original zero point.
- Press the and keys simultaneously for about 2 s in mode 7, the value of ”0.0 mbar” is displayed
The start of scale and full scale of 200 (mbar) and 800 (mbar) set in modes 5 and 6 respectively remain
unchanged.

Operating Instructions 7MF4232
. Note
The time response of the SITRANS P transmitter is determined by the dead time, the time
constant T63 (see Chapter 1.3, Page 7), and the electrical damping value.
The SITRANS P transmitter is supplied with a damping value of 0.1 s. Values of 0 to 100.0 s in increments
of 0.1 s are permitted.
- Press the and keys simultaneously for about 2 s. This activates the ”loop check” function. An
output current of 4.0 mA is displayed.
