SMART PRESSURE TRANSMITTER - APCE-2000
Features :
- 4…20 mA output signal + HART protocol
- Gold plated diaphragm (Au)
Application:
The APCE-2000 pressure transmitter is applicable to the measurement of the pressure, under pressure or absolute pressure of gases, vapors and liquids. The active sensing element is a piezo resistant silicon sensor separated from the medium by a diaphragm and by specially selected type of manometric liquid.
Communication and configuration :
The communication standard for data interchange with the transmitter is the Hart protocol.
Communication with the transmitter is carried out with:
– a KAP-03, KAP-03Ex communicator
– some other Hart type communicators,(*)
– a PC using an HART/USB converter and Raport 2 configuration software.

Installation
The transmitter is not heavy, so it can be installed directly on the installation without additional mounting bracket. When the pressure of steam or other hot media is measured, a siphon or impulse line should be used. The needle valve placed upstream the transmitter simplifies installation process and enables the zero point adjustment or the transmitter replacement. When the special process connections are required for the measurement of levels and pressures (e.g. at food and chemical industries), the transmitter is provided with an Aplisens diaphragm seal. Installing accessories and a full scope of diaphragm seals are described in detail in the further part of the catalogue. The transmitter’s electrical connections should be performed with twisted cable. The place for the communicator should be assigned before the communicator installation.
