FAQs of Series 251 - Wet/Wet Differential Pressure Transmitter:
Q: How does the Series 251 transmitter ensure accurate differential pressure reading in wet-to-wet applications?
A: The Series 251 uses a wet/wet differential pressure sensor encased in a stainless steel bourdon tube and die-cast aluminium body. It is calibrated before dispatch and features adjustable zero and span for fine-tuning onsite, ensuring high accuracy (1.0% F.S.) even in fluid-rich environments.
Q: What process does installation of this transmitter involve?
A: Installation consists of mounting the transmitter on a wall or pipe using supplied brackets and bolts, connecting process lines via 1/4 NPT male threads, wiring through terminal block or conduit, and finally, setting the zero and span adjustments as needed, guided by the included manual.
Q: Where is this transmitter typically used?
A: This transmitter is widely used in industrial settings where monitoring differential pressure of air, gases, or non-corrosive liquids is essential, such as HVAC systems, filtration, and process automation, particularly in environments requiring IP65 protection and optional explosion-proofing.
Q: What are the main benefits of the Series 251 IP65-rated design?
A: The IP65 rating protects the device from dust ingress and direct water jets, making the transmitter suitable for installation in harsh, dusty, or moist industrial locations, thereby enhancing its reliability and operational life.
Q: When is it necessary to choose the explosion-proof option?
A: The explosion-proof variant should be selected if the transmitter is to be installed in hazardous or classified areas where ignitable gases or dust may be present, ensuring compliance with safety regulations.
Q: How is output signal transmitted and integrated with control systems?
A: The transmitter provides a 420 mA output using a 2-wire connection, which is industry-standard for integration with PLCs, DCS, or remote monitoring systems. They are powered by a 12-36 V DC supply.
