Voltage/Load Capacity Ratings

N/A The KING-GAGE® D/P Module requires a source of DC power for operation. The minimum excitation voltage necessary for the D/P Module is 14 Vdc. Any receiving components (meters, data recorders, programmable controllers, etc.) installed in the process loop circuit must be taken into account when determining the required power supply voltage. The internal resistance of each device added together represents the total "load" residing on the circuit loop.

14 to 40 Direct Current (DC) Voltage Operation

N/A D/P Module is designed to operate over a broad voltage range. This transmitter can be used with power supplies ranging from 14-40 Vdc (depending upon load requirements of loop). Load capacity can be up to 1,400 Ohms at 40 Vdc. Output current limiting and continuous no-load operating capacity ensures reliability in even the most demanding applications.

Adjustable Ranges

N/A Transmitter span accommodates a 3:1 turndown ratio (3:1 turndown ratio is applicable to 0-10 and 0-30 nominal range, refer to specifications for detailed span adjustment available on specific range models.) to match the application pressure range (i.e., tank depth). Pressure ranges of 0-5 through 0-50 psid are available. Overall repeatability is within ± 0.02% of calibrated span providing superior performance compared to other compact two-wire transmitters.

Operating Limit (Maximum Pressure)

N/A Pressure above 300% nominal range (overrange) will result in damage to the transmitter (200% may cause a shift in calibration). Burst pressure is 200 psi and will cause catastrophic and physical failure of the pressure element.

Pressure to Milliampere (mA) Conversion

N/A D/P Module is a pneumatic-to-current transmitter that can accept differential pressure (D/P) inputs. Its precision transducer is especially suited to hydrostatic tank level and other critical pressure measurements. These units are typically used to convert the output of pneumatic sensors into an electrical signal. This also permits retrofitting of older air-operated systems for integration with newer PLC process control systems.

Mounting

Mounting

N/A This transmitter module is intended for control consoles or instrument enclosures. It is a compact surface mount package requiring no additional manifold or cage assembly. This permits both economical and flexible mounting applications, especially where space is at a premium.

Application

Application

N/A Tank Gauging

Tank Gauging Applications

N/A Acting on the force balance principle, a pneumatic sensor generates air pressure equivalent to the hydrostatic force created by liquid depth. This pneumatic pressure is directed into the D/P Module. Pressure is converted to an electronic 4-20 mAdc output proportional to liquid depth. Twisted pair cabling is used to form the signal loop through which the remote indicator receives the transmitter output.

The KING-GAGE® Digital Indicator shown in the system view correlates the milliamp signal to actual volume or weight in the tank. This is determined using a pressure vs. capacity listing corresponding to the actual tank dimensions.

Features

Transmitter Signal Loop

N/A As is typical of two-wire transmitters, electrical power to the signal loop is supplied through twisted pair cabling. +V is provided by either the receiving device or from a separate DC power supply installed in the loop. The actual voltage necessary to operation of the system will depend upon the overall load resistance of the loop.

In most gauging applications, a KING-GAGE® Digital Indicator provides 24 Vdc excitation to power the transmitter.
