Operating Manual Autozero Option TPFAS

This document provides information on the autozero function for Gefran's TPFAS series industrial pressure transmitters. The transmitters have an option for either magnetic (Option M) or external (Option E) activation of autozero. Autozero can zero out pressure readings and can be fine-tuned in small increments. The document describes the application, limits, and results of using autozero, fine-autozero, calibration (Option M only), and reset functions.

Operating manual
Autozero Option

code 85305 ed. 01 - 10/2014

This section contains information and warnings of a gene-


ral nature which should be read before proceeding with any
function activation
The flush diaphragm pressure transmitter series TPFAS is available The available functions are as follows:
with Autozero function that can be activated in two different ways:
1) Autozero
• Option M: Magnetic autozero 2) Fine-Autozero
• Option E: External autozero 3) Calibration (option M only)
4) Reset
The above functions can be activated via the following devices:
CAL pin:
• CAL Pin The CAL function activation (Calibration or Autozero) is achieved by
• Magnetic pen closing the contact between the following pins or cables:

Option E involves the activation of all functions exclusively through • 6 pole connector version (V) pin E-F
the CAL pin. • 7 pole connector version (P) pin 5-6
• Cable version (F) wires blue-orange
Option M involves the activation of all features using the magnetic
pen and CAL pin. The following pages present the methods of application, the applica-
bility limits, and the results of such functionality.

NOTE:
During the Autozero phase, the output for current transmitter series, will increase around 7mA.
That’s a short variation only visible during the Autozero phase; it won’t have any effects on the final result.

Stop adjustment:

to stop the signal scrolling or close con-

- During the Autozero phase, the output for current transmitter series, will increase to around 7mA. Furthermore between
the step variations it will be possible to have short overcurrent up to 7mA.
- That’s an immediate variation only visible during the Autozero phase; it won’t have any effects on the final result.
- The new zero value setted with the “Fine-Autozero” function, will be the zero reference for future “Autozero” procedures.

Release the CAL pin short-circuit outside the defined limits.
NOTE:
- Switching off the supply while the calibration function is activated, could be cause of calibration problems; the transmitter
can be restored to the initial value by activating the “reset function”.
- To locate the CAL pin contacts, please refer to item “CAL pin” at the beginning of this manual.

4) Total reset of the calibration values

2) by short-circuiting the CAL pin (or


cable wires) on option E.

The contact has to be maintained on the


Autozero position for a time over 60 sec.
NOTE:
- During the total reset phase, the output for current transmitter series, will increase around 7mA
- An internal timer will trigger the function as soon as the elapsed time will exceed 60 sec.
