 Application
Pressure transmitter APC-2000ALM is designed to measure pressure, vacuum and absolute pressure of gases, vapors and
liquids. The measuring element is a piezoresistive silicon sensor separated from the medium by an isolating diaphragm and
manometer liquid. The electrical signal from the sensor is converted into a digital value compatible with the Modbus RTU
protocol. The housing is made of high-pressure cast aluminum alloy or acid-resistant steel with IP66 protection.
The transmitter is equipped with a configurable liquid crystal display. The housing design allows the display to be rotated 90°,
180° and 270°, the housing can be rotated relative to the sensor in the range of 0 - 340°, and the cable insertion direction can be
selected. The display panel includes buttons for scaling the display and selecting the unit of pressure to be measured.

Installation
The transmitter can be mounted directly on the object. To measure the pressure of steam or other hot media, use a siphon or impulse
tube. The use of a pressure gauge valve in front of the transducer simplifies installation, and makes it possible to zero or replace the
transducer while the facility is in operation. A universal bracket (AL bracket) is provided for mounting the transmitter.

Operation modes of the transmitter

- Configuration - is used to set the transmitter's transmission parameters and network address, as well as to reset, calibrate and
restore the transmitter's factory settings. The transmitter is operated via a PC using an RS-485/USB converter and Modbus
Configurator software.
- Modbus RTU - the transmitter operates in a four-wire system with RS485 transmission with Modbus RTU protocol.
