1. General
This manual applies to the MDT 420/460/435/467 and PT 420/460, TDA 432/463 and
LDA 415 series only. It must be kept near the equipment in a readily and immediately
accessible location at all times.
DYNISCO will not be held liable for any injury, loss or damage resulting from failure to
follow the instructions in this manual.
If malfunctions occur in spite of having followed the operating instructions, please
contact the DYNISCO customer service department (see chapter 8,
Maintenance).
1.2 Copyright
Copyright law requires that this manual be used for inhouse purposes only.
All reproduction, even partially and for in-house purposes, requires the approval of
DYNISCO. This manual may not be forwarded to third parties.
The safety instructions are provided again in the individual chapters of the manual.
1.4 Abbreviations
The following abbreviations are used:
OM Operating manual
PT pressure transmitter
f.s. of full scale
If the PT is used in other applications, the safety and accident prevention regulations
specific to that application must be followed.
2. Notes on safety
The operator or owner of the larger overall system is responsible for
following the safety and accident prevention regulations that apply
to the specific application.
Toxic hazard!
The PT contains a small amount (7 mm³) of mercury (Hg) as its transmis-
sion medium. If the diaphragm is damaged, mercury may escape.
Never transport or store the PT without the protective shell bolted in
place. Remove the shell shortly before installation.
If mercury is inhaled or swallowed, seek medical attention immediately!
Mercury is hazardous waste and must be disposed of in accordance with
applicable laws. DYNISCO will accept defective PTs. If mercury escapes,
use airtight packaging!
When planning machinery and using the PT, follow the safety and
accident prevention regulations that apply to your application,
e.g.:
● EN 60204, Electrical equipment in
machines.
● EN 292, Machine safety, general design
guidelines.
● DIN 57 100 Part 410, Protection against
electric shock.
Burn hazard!
The PT must be removed with the melt in molten condition. The PT can
be very hot when removed.

4.1 Construction
4.2 Description of functions
4.3 PT series
4.1 Construction
The PTs of series MDT 420 x/460 x are industry standard.
The main advantages are:
- manufactured under ISO 9002
- thermal stability
- resistance to aggressive media
- insensitivity to electromagnetic radiation (EMC)
- liquid-filled transmission system (mercury)
- pressure measurements in plastic melt up to a temperature of 400°C (750°F)
- maximum pressure 2000 bar
4.2 Description of functions
Through a closed, liquid-filled pressure transmission system, the PT furnishes
an electrical signal that is proportional to the pressure of the melt.
The pressure applied by the medium is forwarded to the measuring diaphragm via the
separating diaphragm and the transmission medium (standard configuration:
mercury) in the capillary. The deflection of the measuring diaphragm changes the
resistance of the strain gauge bonded to the measuring diaphragm. The strain gauge
is a Wheatstone bridge.
An electric signal proportional to the pressure is generated via the supply voltage.
4.3 PT series
Fig. 05: Functioning
The MDA/LDA/TDA series PTs are also principle of the PT
available as PT series. The PT types of the MDT 420/460
correspond to the MDA models, and the series
TPT types correspond to the TDA models;
the number codes are identical. The PT
series differs from the MDA series in that
all specifications are given in US American
units of measure.
E.g.: 1 bar = 14,5 PSI
(PSI value is rounded)
2,54 cm= 1" (inch)
5. Transport / delivery
5.1 Transport / packing /
transport damage
5.2 Storage
5.3 Scope of delivery
Toxic hazard!
The PT contains a very small amount of mercury (Hg) as its
transmission medium. If the diaphragm is damaged, mercury
may escape. Non-toxic NaK is being used in the LDA series. NaK is
also available as an option for other pressure transducers. Never
transport or store the PT without the protective shell bolted in
place. Remove the shell shortly before installation.
If mercury is inhaled or swallowed, seek medical attention
immediately.
Mercury is hazardous waste and must be disposed of in
accordance with applicable laws. DYNISCO will accept defective
PTs.
If mercury escapes, use airtight packaging!
Alternative, non-toxic transmission media (Oil or NaK) available
on request.
ESD sensitive component. Electrostatic discharge may damage
the PT. Take ESD precautions.
5.2 Storage
- Store the PT in original packaging only.
- Protect against dust and moisture.

Pressure sealing takes place on the 45° beveled sealing surface and on the front
cylindrical section of the PT (see figures 06 and 07).
The sealing surface must be:
- correctly machined
- free from marks and rough edges
- free from solidified plastic residue.
The only acceptable abrasion of marking ink is at the sealing edge (45°), evenly (!)
over the entire circumference.
- Check the mounting hole with the test bolt, and clean with cleaning set if necessary.
- Coat the thread section of the transmitter with high temperature resistant grease or
a suitable parting agent.

7.4 Operation
Before starting the machine, wait until the melt medium at the
diaphragm of the PT has reached its operating / processing
temperature. If the machine is started before the medium reaches
its operating temperature, the PT will be damaged. If it is hard to
tell when the operating temperature has been reached, use a
combined TDT PT with thermocouple.
8.1 Maintenance
Mounting and electrical connection of the PT must be done by
specialists with EMC training, following all applicable regulations,
and in pressureless, voltage-free condition with the machine
switched off.
The machine must be secured against being switched back on!
Burn hazard!
The PT must be removed with the melt in molten condition. The
PT can be very hot when removed.
Wear protective gloves!
ESD sensitive component. Electrostatic discharge may damage the
PT. Take ESD precautions.
Always remove the PT before cleaning the machine with abrasives
ro steel wire brushes or suchlike.
Before removing the PT, the medium must be in molten condition.
Removing the transmitter with the medium in solidified condition
can damage the diaphragm of the PT.
Do not clean the screw-in section of the PT with hard objects. This
will damage the PT!
Always use a spanner applied to the designated hexagon
collar when screwing the PT in and out. Do not apply the
tool to the housing or housing/sensor connection!
- Remove the PT.
- Carefully clean the diaphragm of the transmitter with a soft cloth, while the
medium is still malleable.
- Insert the new thermocouple all the way into the probe stem.
- Tighten the hexagon socket screw at the top of the sensor stem to secure the
thermocouple.
8.3 Repair/disposal
Toxic hazard!
The PT contains a small amount (7 mm³) of mercury (Hg) as its
transmission medium. If the diaphragm is damaged, mercury may
escape.
Never transport or store the PT without the protective shell bolted
in place. Remove the shell shortly before installation.
If mercury is inhaled or swallowed, seek medical attention
immediately!
Mercury is hazardous waste and must be disposed of in
accordance with applicable laws. DYNISCO will accept defective
PTs.
If mercury escapes, use airtight packaging!
Please send defective PTs to your DYNISCO representative.
