Installation Examples
The UniTrans is primarily used to detect the hydrostatic pressure of liquids in tanks.
The measured pressure is provided as a height proportion or level control signal. The
pressure is measured using absolute (against a vacuum) or relative (against external
or air pressure) measurement depending on the type of sensor selected.
The UniTrans is also used for process pressure measurement within pipes and containers.

If the zero point or span setting are adjusted under pressure to a value outside of the sensors nominal pressure range, an error signal occurs. This
error signal is caused by a current surge of 3.6 mA or 21mA that lasts for 5
seconds or more. No values are stored when an error signal occurs.
The keypad becomes inactive if not used for 10 minutes. All settings will
default to previously stored values. Only settings that have been confirmed
with the "OK" function are stored.

Calibration without Pressure


Determine the current reference values for the zero point and the span to be entered
in the transmitter before calibration. This is done as follows:

5.4.1 Zero Point Calibration


Determine the hydrostatic pressure of the liquids surface that meets the zero point.
Adjust this pressure in proportion to the sensors nominal pressure range.
Multiply this proportion by 16 mA and add 4 mA to the result.
This produces the calculated current (value Icalc ), which is entered in the transmitter
and used to program the zero point (0%).

Example:
A pressure transducer with 0 - 250" WC (nominal pressure) needs to be programmed.The liquids surface (with a density of 1) is 2 feet above the diaphragm at
the zero point producing a pressure of 24" WC.
Zero point pressure (0%) 24" WC
I calc = ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 16 mA + 4 mA = 5.54 mA
Sensors nominal pressure 250" WC

This means that the devices current value must be set to 5.54 mA when performing
a dry (empty) calibration.

are pressed

Once precalculated mA reading is displayed by ammeter, press "ok" to accept

Display will flash to 20mA to confirm


change, then the ammeter should display 4mA.

5.4.2 Span Calibration
Determine the hydrostatic pressure of the liquids surface, which corresponds to the
span end-point.
Calculate the difference of the pressure value between span end-point and zero

Multiply this proportion by 16 mA and add 4 mA to the result.
This produces the calculated current (value Icalc), which is entered in the transmitter
and used to program the span end-point (100%).
The measurement range between zero point and span end-point will be stored as
span.

Example:
A pressure transducer with 0 - 250" WC (nominal pressure) is to be programmed. The
liquids surface (with a density of 1) is 2 feet above the diaphragm at the zero point.
The maximum (span end-point) should be 18 feet.
pressure difference (span) (216" WC -25" WC)

A single pressure value is set for the zero point or the span end-point
within the sensors nominal pressure range, and assigned to the associated mA signal when making adjustments with existing pressure. An error signal occurs when the existing pressure lies outside of the sensors
nominal pressure range. The value is not saved in this case.

Important

A mounting correction should be performed before or after making an


adjustment without pressure (dry adjustment) (see 6.5.4). The sensor
must therefore be placed in the reference position for the measurement
(installation site) without pressure on the diaphragm.
A mounting correction is unnecessary when making an adjustment with
pressure (wet adjustment). Otherwise, the mounting correction must be
performed before saving the zero point and span end- point.

A test / correction of the zero point is suggested after adjusting the

Universal Transmitter UniTrans


Operation of Devices with Displays
Enter height values, which are each assigned a volumetric value of measure for tank
linearization. The linearization and the assignment of the 4 - 20 mA output signal are
converted into tank volumes using this value pair.

100"

Example:

10

0"

100"

For the tank to the left with a UniTrans mounted on the bottom
left corner, the volume does not have a direct relationship with
the level that the UniTrans is reading. By setting one of the
lines of the display to read measure %, height/volume pairs
can be programmed to display how full the tank is as a percentage of total volume. At 25" WC, the height/volume pair would
be calculated as follows:

For the height value, 25" WC is 25% of the full span so h[%]=25
For the volume value, the volume at 25" must be calculated. At 25" WC the volume in the above
tank is 218,750 in3, the total volume is 500,000 in3. So at 25" WC the tank is 43.75% full. The
volume part of the height/volume pair is v[%]=43.75.
The more points programmed into the Unitrans (up to 32) the more accurate the measurement as
a percentage of total volume will be.

Please check the following if "Wrong Entry" appears in the Evaluation


menu:
whether or not more than 32 value pairs are entered in the table for tank
linearization (please note: P 0 and P 31 are fixed at 0% and 100% respectively)
whether or not an height value is already entered
Please enter correct values.

The span (end-point) must be re-calibrated (with or without pressure) to 44.44 feet, in
order to prevent a 40 foot tank from being overfilled.

Published 26.1.00

Important

A change or correction in the density causes a change in the span endpoints unit of measure (mm, m, inch, feet). The span end-point must be
re-calibrated when changing the medium to be measured (due to a
change in density).

Tank linearization

Determination of approximate volume/pressure ratio values


with non-linear correlations based on varying container designs
For example, a non-linear correlation exists between the fill level and the volume in spherical containers. During linearization,
the non-linear volume is assigned the 4 - 20 mA output signal
from a table of values (proximity process by means of up to 32
support points).
