Pressure Transmitter 4-20mA 2-wire MPG MPGxxxxxxxx
Parameterisation
With the aid of the programming kit MPPKIT available as an accessory, the software of the pressure
transmitter can be parameterised with a PC (see also Data Sheet 21.210.0066900.001 and Operating
Instructions 21.810.0066900.001).
Range selection for output current 4 ... 20 mA
With the range selection 4 ... 20 mA, the 4 mA and 20 mA current values can be assigned to measured
values other than the standard 0% and 100% of the nominal measuring range. (Typically with 4 mA a
value from the range -5% ... +25% of the nominal measuring range, with 20 mA, a value from the range
+25% ... +105% of the nominal measuring range.) In this way, a sub-range or even a negative pressure
can be measured. The difference between the minimum and maximum must amount to at least 25% of
the nominal measuring range and be at least 50 mbar.
Inverted control can be achieved by exchanging the values for 4 mA and 20 mA.
The ranges of adjustability are presented graphically in the following illustrations:

Programmable Damping of the Current Output
The analog output can be damped with a low pass filter of the 1st order. The adjustability enables values
between ~ 33 ms (default) and 10 s.
Note: During commissioning, damping is preferably left at the minimum value.
Recalibrating the transmitter (calibration 0 % or 100 %) enables compensation of the drift which
inevitably occurs with resistive pressure transducers. The zero drift alone or the combination of zero drift
and slope change can be compensated. In doing so, the original calibration of the transmitter is not lost
and can be recalled as necessary.
Setting range 0%: -5% +5% of nominal measuring range (FS) with relative measuring probes
0% +5% of nominal measuring range (FS) with absolute measuring probes
Setting range 100%: 95% ... 105% of nominal measuring range (FS)
Standard Settings
The transducers have the following standard parameterisation:
Current range: 4 ... 20mA
Measurement start: 4 mA = 0% of nominal measurement range (FS)
Measurement end: 20 mA = 100% of nominal measurement range (FS)
Damping: ~ 30 ms

Note
The load resistance RL is the sum of load and cable resistance.
In order to prevent destruction, the membrane must not be touched.
For applications in the field with extension cables having a cable length ≥ 5 m [16 ft.] or inside a building
with cable lengths ≥ 100 m [330 ft.], a transmitter with the overvoltage protection option and an external
overvoltage protection PT1x2-24DC-SET or a junction box NLAD.MPG (at other end of the cable) must
be used.
The cable shield must be connected to a good ground potential.
In order to compensate the long term drift an annual zero point alignment is recommended.
