Testing of Transmitter & Switches of 24vdc supply

Pressure Transmitters MBS 5100 and MBS 5150 Danfoss measuring range from 0-1 to 0-600 bar output 4-20mA

Normally you can see the value on the display of the PLC if not test the transmitter. Testing of 4-20mA transmitter. Required material: Multimeter, Pressure callibrator First check between Pin 1 and Pin 2 on the connector you must measure +/-24vdc. 1. If not? Check wiring to the transmitter and reconnect or repair/replace wiring. 2. When not solved check the wiring inside the panel to the PLC. 3. Wiring OK and not solved? Check analog input. 4. You must measure -0vdc on analog input and +24Vdc Supply. 5. If not? replace PLC.

If wiring is OK and you measure +/-24vdc supply then do the function test of the transmitter. For the function test is necessary that the connector is connect to the transmitter. Connect the pressure calibrator to the test valve of the transmitter and make pressure. Function test will be done via Pin 2 and Pin 3 (range 40-200mVdc) Example: When you have transmitter 0-10 Bar with output 4-20mA then the value on Pin 3 are for o 0 bar 40mVdc o 5 bar 120mVdc o 10 bar 200mVdc

Temperature Transmitter MBT 5250, MT 5260 Danfoss measuring range -50 to +200C output resistance PT100

Normally you can see the value on the display of the PLC if not test the transmitter. Testing of PT100 transmitter. Required material: Multimeter First check the transmitter. Remove the connector. Check the resistance between Pin 1 and Pin 2 on the transmitter according PT100 table. o 0C 100,0 ohm o 25C 109,7 ohm o 50C 119,4 ohm o 75C 129,0 ohm o 100C 138,5 ohm 1. If not? Replace transmitter. 2. If OK? Check wiring to the transmitter and reconnect or repair/replace wiring. 3. When not solve check disconnect the connector on the PLC. And check the resistance on the incoming terminals of panel according PT100 table. 4. If OK? Check the wiring inside the panel to the PLC. 5. Wiring OK and not solved? replace PLC.

Pressure Switch MBC 5000 and MBC 5100 Danfoss adjustable setpoint range 0,2 to +4 bar. NC/NO switch output

Required material: Multimeter, Pressure calibrator First check in the electrical drawing what is the setpoint. 1. Connect pressure calibrator to test valve of the pressure switch and make pressure above the setpoint. 2. Check the pressure switch by observing what is actual switch point. If the deviation is too high, replace the switch with a new one. For example: Setpoint is 1,5 bar. Below 1,5 bar Pin 1 and Pin 2 is closed. Above 1,5 bar Pin 1 and 2 is open.

When switch is used in combination with the ID-RPU PLC be aware a 10 kohm resistance is mounted on Pin 1 and 2 for Broken Wire detection in the PLC. So when PLC gives a message Bw Lube Oil Press means that the wire between transmitter and panel is broken. Check wiring.

Temperature Switch MBC 8100 Danfoss adjustable setpoint range 70 to 120C. NC/NO switch output

Required material: Multimeter, Temperature calibration bath device. To perform the test, the switch should be disassembled from the application without sensor pocket. First check in the electrical drawing what is the setpoint. 1. Disassemble the temperature switch by unscrewing it. Leave the sensor pocket in the application. 2. Put the temperature switch in the calibration bath device. 3. Adjust the calibration bath device. It is recommended to perform the test at following conditions: temperature change rate: 0.2 C/1 minute; temperature change in calibration bath: 98 C - 123 C; ambient temperature of MBC 8100 switch: about 20 C; test medium: liquid. 4. Check the temperature switch by observing what is actual switch point. If the deviation is too high, replace the switch with the new one. For example: Setpoint is 93C. Below 93C Pin 1 and Pin 3 is open. Above 93C Pin 1 and 3 is closed. 5. If the contact system of the MBC 8100 does not switch at all, 6. Replace switch if necessary. 7. After the test, reinstall MBC 8100 in the application.

When switch is used in combination with the ID-RPU PLC be aware a 10 kohm resistance is mounted on Pin 1 and 2 for Broken Wire detection in the PLC. So when PLC gives a message Bw Lube Oil Press means that the wire between transmitter and panel is broken. Check wiring.
