ELECTRONICS:

The transmitter electronics shall be solid-state.

Printed circuit board(s) should be of a replaceable modular construction, shall be

hermetically sealed or protected by a corrosion-resistant coating (tropicalized) and
vibration-free supported in case of plug-in type circuit boards.
Signal wiring terminals and electronics shall be housed in separate compartments, so
that the electronics remain sealed during electrical connection of the transmitter to the
signal cable.
The electronics system shall be provided with a reverse polarity protection circuit.

ADJUSTMENTS:

Zero and span shall be non-interacting easy accessible and continuously adjustable,
zero externally.
The external adjustment(s) should be provided with an environmental protection cover.

PERFORMANCE:

With reference to IEC 770, errors are expressed as a percentage of the calibrated
span, unless otherwise specified.

(C) The transmitter accuracy including combined effect of lineairity, hysteresis and
repeatability shall be as specified.

Dead Band;
The dead band shall be equal to or better than 0.05%.

Stability; (not including temperature/pressure effect)

The stability shall be better than +/-0.1% per 30 days of the minimum span.

Ambient Temperature Effect;

With reference to IEC 654-1, the rate of temperature change value shall be taken as
20 deg c per hour, unless otherwise specified.

The total dynamic effect of the temperature including span and zero error;
At maximum span, shall be equal or less than +/-1.5%.
At minimum span, shall be equal or less than +/-4.5%, unless otherwise specified.

Each transmitter shall be factory tested to meet the calibrated range requirements as
stated, calibration certificate shall be provided on purchasers request only. If the
calibrated range is not specified by the purchaser, the transmitter shall be calibrated at
the maximum pressure range.

FACTORY INSPECTION:

If specified in the purchase order the transmitter shall be inspected by the purchaser's
