INTRODUCTION UM341-2
1.2 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Model 341 transmitters are part of the Moore Products Co. XTC line of smart pressure and temperature field
devices. They provide reliable, accurate, stable, and cost-effective measurement of differential, absolute and
gage pressures. The four basic models are:
• Model 341D, differential pressure

• Model 341A, absolute pressure
• Model 341G, gauge pressure
• Model 341P, flush-mount gauge pressure
Figures 1-1, 1-2, and 1-3 show the four basic models.
Each transmitter is a microprocessor-based, self-contained pressure-to-current converter. The heart of the

transmitter is the MycroSENSOR™. Developed and patented by Moore Products Co., the MycroSENSOR is
a silicon, dual-capacitance pressure sensor assembly. It generates a direct digital output signal that is
proportional to input pressure. The sensor assembly is mounted in a manifold assembly located within the
transmitter enclosure.
The direct digital output in conjunction with the microprocessor provides Direct Digital Processing (DDP™).
DDP provides advanced processing and compensation for varying ambient temperature and static pressure.
This yields improved performance, stability, and reliability over conventional analog transmitters. Although
signal processing is digital, a transmitter can be configured to operate in either an analog mode or a digital
mode, for a Point-To-Point or a Multi-Drop network respectively.
ANALOG MODE: A single transmitter is connected to a controller, recorder or other field device. A loop
known as a Point-To-Point Network interconnects the instruments. Figure 1-4 shows a traditional
application. The transmitter's output is the process variable and it is sent to a controller or recorder using a
standard 4-20 mA analog current. Figure 1-5 shows a 0-100% Analog LCD Meter for local viewing of the
process variable. A Terminal Board with screw terminals is provided for connecting the loop to the
transmitter; see Figure 1-6.

FIGURE 1-6 Terminal Board
The HART7 (Highway Addressable Remote Transducer) protocol is used for communication between the
transmitter and a Model 275 Universal HART Communicator, a personal computer running MXTC
Configuration Software or other remote device. This is done by superimposing the HART digital signal on the
analog current. A typical communication can be to: transfer a new or edited configuration, remotely monitor
the process variable, or service a transmitter.
DIGITAL MODE: Twisted-pair cable is used to wire up to fifteen parallel connected transmitters to the
Multi-Drop Network. HART protocol is used to send all process variable information to a HART compatible
controller, recorder, or other device. Of course, the digital process variable will not be viewable on the
optional analog LCD meter. Loop connections are made to the terminal board.
Models 341A, D, and G have an intrinsically safe, explosion proof, NEMA 4x (IP66/IP68), field mountable,
hardened enclosure. Available process connections are ½ NPT or M20. All process wetted materials are 316
stainless steel.
August 1997 1-5

INTRODUCTION UM341-2
Model 341P is intrinsically safe with a NEMA 4x (IP66/IP68), hardened enclosure. The flush-mount process
connection is compatible with standard spuds (nipples) for tanks and pipes.
1.3 CONFIGURATION
A smart transmitter must be configured before being used on-line or off-line. Each transmitter is shipped
with either a default configuration or, if specified at time of order, a custom configuration defined by the user.
A default configuration may need to be edited by the user before the transmitter is used in a loop.

This section describes HART Communicator connections, liquid crystal display, keypad, and on-line and
off-line menus. It also provides short overviews of some of the Communicator’s functions. The
Communicator is shown in Figure 2-1. For information about the Communicator’s battery pack, Memory
Module, Data Pack, and maintenance procedures, refer to the manual supplied with the Communicator.
2.1 INTRODUCTION
From a wiring termination point, the HART Communicator interfaces with a Model 341 transmitter or
other HART device using a 4-20 mA loop, provided a minimum load resistance of 250Ω is present
between the Communicator and the power supply. The Communicator uses the Bell 202 frequency-shift
keying (FSK) technique of high-frequency digital signals imposed on a standard transmitter current loop of
4-20 mA. Because no net energy is added to the loop, HART communication does not disturb the 4-20
mA signal. The Communicator can be used in hazardous and non-hazardous locations.
WARNING
Explosions can cause death or serious injury. Before connecting the

HART Communicator in an explosive atmosphere, make sure that the
instruments in the loop are installed in accordance with intrinsically safe
or non-incendive field wiring practices. Refer to the Communicator
nameplate and the manual supplied with the Communicator for
certifications and approvals before connecting.
2.2 COMMUNICATOR CONNECTIONS

The Communicator can interface with a transmitter from the control room, the instrument site, or any
wiring termination point in the loop. Connections are made through loop connectors on the
Communicator’s connection panel (Figure 2-1). The connection panel also may have a jack for the
optional NiCad recharger, and it has a serial port for a future connection to a personal computer (PC).
To interface with a transmitter or other HART device, connect the HART Communicator in parallel with
the instrument or load resistor. The connections are non-polar. For intrinsically safe FM and CSA wiring
connections, see the manual supplied with the Communicator.
WARNING
Explosions can result in death or serious injury. Before making

connections to the serial port or NiCad recharger jack in an explosive
atmosphere, check the Communicator nameplate and the manual supplied
with the Communicator for approvals.
Figure 2-2 illustrates typical wiring connections between the HART Communicator and a loop with a
Model 341 transmitter or other HART-compatible device.

August 1997 2-3

A 40" (1 m) cable with a dual banana plug on one end and two mini-grabber clips on the other is provided.
The dual banana plug is inserted into the top of the Communicator; the mini-grabber clips are connected to
lugs in the Model 341’s terminal board compartment or to the loop’s current sense resistance, usually at a
receiving instrument (see Note below).
NOTE
The HART protocol requires a network (loop) resistance between 250Ω

and 1100Ω to support communications. See Section 4.3.6 to determine
resistance value and loop supply voltage.
2.3 CONTROLS OVERVIEW

As shown in Figure 2-1, the front of the HART Communicator has five major functional areas: liquid
crystal display (LCD), function keys, action keys, alphanumeric keys, and shift keys. The next five
sections describe how each of these functional areas is used to enter commands and display data.
2.3.1 Liquid Crystal Display

The liquid crystal display (LCD) is an 8-line by 21-character display that provides communication between
the user and a connected device. When the HART Communicator is connected to a Model 341
transmitter or other HART-compatible device, the top line of the Online menu displays the model name of
the device and its tag. A typical display is shown below:
MPCO 341:PT100
Online çz
1->Loop Override
2 Calibrate/Test
3 Configure Xmtr
4 Range Xmtr
HELP |SAVE
The bottom line of each menu is reserved for dynamic labels for the software-defined function keys, F1-
F4, which are found directly below the display. More information on software-defined function keys is
given in the next section.
2.3.2 Software-Defined Function Keys

The four software-defined function keys (soft keys), located below the LCD and marked F1 through F4,
are used to perform software functions as indicated by the dynamic labels. Pressing the function key
immediately beneath a label activates the displayed function.
The label appearing above a function key indicates the function of that key for the current menu. For
example, in menus providing access to on-line help, the HELP label appears above the F1 key. In menus
providing access to the Online menu, the HOME label appears above the F3 key. Table 2-1 lists these
labels and describes what happens when each function key is pressed.

2.3.3 Action Keys

Directly beneath the LCD and software-defined function keys are six blue, white, and black action keys.
Each has a specific function as described below:
ON/OFF KEY – Use to power-up the Communicator. When the Communicator is turned on,
I
it automatically searches for a HART-compatible device on the 4-20 mA loop. If no device is
O
found, the Communicator displays the Main menu:

é UP ARROW KEY – Use to move the cursor up through a menu or list of options or to scroll
through lists of available characters when editing fields that accept both alpha and numeric
data.
DOWN ARROW KEY – Use to move the cursor through a menu or a list of options or to
ê scroll through lists of available characters when editing fields that accept alpha and numeric
data.
LEFT ARROW/PREVIOUS MENU KEY – Use to move the cursor to the left or back to
ç the previous menu.
RIGHT ARROW/SELECT KEY – Use to move the cursor to the right or to select a menu
ð option.
QUICK ACCESS KEY (HOT KEY) – When the Communicator is on and connected to a
>>> HART-compatible device, pressing the Quick Access Key instantly displays the Quick
Access Key menu of user-defined options. When the Communicator is off and the Quick
Access Key is pressed, the Communicator automatically powers-up and displays the Quick
Access Key menu.
See Section 2.6 for more information on using the Quick Access Key.
2-6 August 1997

IMPORTANT
When performing certain operations, the message “OFF KEY

DISABLED” indicates that the Communicator cannot be turned off. This
feature helps prevent accidental shutoff of the Communicator while the
output of a device is fixed or a device variable is being edited.
2.3.4 Alphanumeric and Shift Keys

The alphanumeric keys perform two functions: (1) rapid selection of menu options and (2) data entry. The
shift keys located below the alphanumeric keys on the keypad are used during data entry to select from
among the characters available above each number.
2.3.4.1 Rapid Selection of Menu Options

From any menu, use the keypad to select available options in two ways. First, use the UP or DOWN
arrow keys, followed by the RIGHT ARROW/SELECT key, to access available options displayed on the
LCD.
As an alternative, use the rapid select feature. Simply press the number on the alphanumeric keypad that
corresponds to the desired menu option. For example, to quickly access the Utility menu from the Main
menu, simply press “4” on the keypad.
2.3.4.2 Data Entry

Some menus require data entry. Use the alphanumeric and shift keys to enter all alphanumeric information
into the HART Communicator. Pressing an alphanumeric key alone while editing causes the large
character in the center of the key (number 0-9, decimal point, or dash) to be entered.
Pressing and releasing a shift key activates shift and causes the appropriate arrow icon (ã, á, or ä) to
appear in the upper right-hand corner of the LCD. When shift is activated, the indicated alpha characters
or symbols are entered when the keypad is used.
Example
To enter a number, such as “7,” simply press the number key.
To enter one of the small characters appearing above the large numeral (i.e., a letter, space, or
mathematical symbol), first press and release the corresponding shift key at the bottom of the keypad, then
press the desired alphanumeric key. To enter the letter “E,” press and release the middle shift key, then
press the number “2” key.
To deactivate a shift key without entering a letter, space, or mathematical symbol, simply press that shift
key again.
August 1997 2-7

2.4 GETTING TO KNOW THE COMMUNICAT OR

The HART Communicator operates in either of two modes: on-line or off-line. Off-line operation is used
to create or edit a configuration that can then be downloaded to a HART device, such as the Model 341.
On-line operation is used to download a configuration to a HART device, upload a configuration, edit
HART device operating parameters, and monitor process values.
For off-line operation, the Communicator need not be connected to a HART device. On-line operation
requires a connection to a HART device.
The menu that appears first when the Communicator is turned on depends on the mode. When the
Communicator is powered-up in off-line mode, the first menu displayed is the Main menu. When the
Communicator is powered-up in on-line mode, the first menu displayed is the Online menu. To work off-
line when connected to the loop, access the Main menu from the Online menu by pressing the LEFT
ARROW/PREVIOUS MENU key.
2.4.1 Display Icons

Several different symbols (icons) appear on the LCD to show the state of the Communicator and provide
visible response to actions of the user. Figure 2-3 shows the display icons and how they relate to keypad
functions.

2.4.2 Menu Structure

The HART Communicator uses a hierarchical menu structure. That is, high-level menus are accessed
first, and they provide access to lower-level menus. This structure groups related functions together and
minimizes the number of options displayed at once.
To learn how the menu structure works, perform the following actions:
2-8 August 1997

1. With the Communicator off-line (not attached to any devices), press the ON/OFF key to turn the
Communicator on. It displays the Main menu, with the cursor (->) positioned at “1 Offline.”
2. Access the Utility menu by pressing the DOWN arrow key three times, then pressing the RIGHT
ARROW/SELECT key. The display changes to show the Utility menu.
3. Access the Configure Communicator menu from the Utility menu by pressing the RIGHT
ARROW/SELECT key. The display changes to show the Configure Communicator menu.
4. Access the Contrast menu by pressing the DOWN arrow once, then pressing the RIGHT
ARROW/SELECT key. The display shows a message explaining how to adjust the LCD contrast.
5. Press ESC (F3) to return to the Configure Communicator menu.
6. Press the LEFT ARROW/PREVIOUS MENU key two times to return to the Main menu.
7. Press the ON/OFF key to turn the Communicator off.
2.4.3 Reviewing Installed Devices

For the HART Communicator to recognize a HART-compatible device, it must have a description for that
device installed. The HART Communicator is supplied from the factory with descriptions for Model 341
Transmitters and other HART-compatible devices from leading manufacturers. In addition, it contains a
generic device description, which allows limited access to most HART devices when no device description
for that specific device exists in the Communicator.
To review the currently installed devices on the Communicator, use the following steps:
1. Turn on the Communicator (off-line) to display the Main Menu.

2. From the Main menu, press “4” on the keypad for quick access to the Utility Menu.
3. From the Utility menu, press “5” on the keypad to access the simulation mode. The LCD shows the
Manufacturer menu, which contains a list of manufacturers whose device descriptions are installed in
the Communicator.
4. Press the DOWN arrow until Moore Products appears. Press the RIGHT ARROW/SELECT key to
reveal the Model menu, which lists the Moore Products Co. devices currently installed in the
Communicator (see Table 2-2).
5. To end the review of devices, press the LEFT ARROW/PREVIOUS MENU key three times.

UM341-2 INSTALLATION
4.0 INSTALLATION
This Section describes installation of a Model 341 Pressure Transmitter. Topics include: receipt of
shipment, installation considerations, and mechanical and electrical installation.
IMPORTANT
The installation must conform to the National Electrical Code and all
other applicable construction and electrical codes.
Refer to the installation drawings in Appendix B when locating a

Transmitter in a hazardous area.
4.1 EQUIPMENT DELIVERY AND HANDLING
4.1.1 Factory Shipment

Prior to shipment, a Transmitter is fully tested and inspected to ensure proper operation. It is then
packaged for shipment. Most accessories are shipped separately.
4.1.2 Receipt of Shipment

Each carton should be inspected at the time of delivery for possible external damage. Any visible damage
should be immediately recorded on the carrier's copy of the delivery slip.
Each carton should be carefully unpacked and its contents checked against the enclosed packing list. At
the same time, each item should be inspected for any hidden damage that may or may not have been
accompanied by exterior carton damage.
IMPORTANT
A Moore Products Co. magnetic screwdriver (shown in Section 5.2) is

packed with each Model 341. The magnetic screwdriver is needed for
local setting of zero, full scale and damping. Keep the supplied
screwdriver with the Transmitter.
If it is found that some items have been damaged or are missing, notify Moore Products Co. immediately
and provide full details. In addition, damages must be reported to the carrier with a request for their on-
site inspection of the damaged item and its shipping carton.
4.1.3 Storage
If a Transmitter is to be stored for a period prior to installation, review the environmental specifications in
Section 9.3.
August 1997 4-1

INSTALLATION UM341-2
4.2 ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS
Many industrial processes create severe environmental conditions. The conditions at each transmitter
location must be within the specifications stated in Section 9.3.
The Transmitter is designed to perform in harsh conditions, however, it is prudent to locate a Transmitter
to minimize the effects of heat, vibration, shock, and electrical interference.
CAUTION
Exceeding the specified operating temperature limits can adversely affect

performance and may cause damage.
4.3 INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS

Sections 4.3.1 and 4.3.2 outline basic considerations needed to achieve a successful mechanical/ electrical
installation. The remaining sections then provide detailed pre-installation information.
4.3.1 Mechanical
! A transmitter can be used on, but is not limited to, the following process measurements. A
transmitter's nameplate displays the model designation; see Section 9.1 Model Designation for an
explanation of the alphanumeric sequence.
PROCESS MODEL 341D MODELS 341A, 341G, AND 341P

MEASUREMENT DIFFERENTIAL PRESSURE ABSOLUTE AND GAUGE PRESSURE
Direct Pressure Liquid, Gas, Steam Liquid, Gas, Steam

Flow Liquid, Gas, Steam Liquid, Gas, Steam
Level Open and Closed Tank Open Tank
! Determine if an optional analog meter for local monitoring of transmitter output is required. Refer to
Section 9.1 for model designation or 9.2 for accessory part numbers.
! Determine physical mounting of transmitter. Consider:

! Optional brackets for pipe mounting or surface mounting
! Pipe or tank wall thickness, diameter, rigidity, and freedom from vibration
! Clearance for installation and maintenance and for reading the optional analog meter
! Need to rotate optional analog meter for viewing ease
Refer to Figures 9-1 and 9-2 for transmitter dimensions and the figures in sections 4.3.4, 4.4 and 4.5
for typical mechanical installations. Refer to Section 9.3 for mechanical and environmental
specifications.
! Determine if an explosion-proof or intrinsically safe installation is required. Refer to the Transmitter

nameplate for electrical classifications and to Sections 4.8 and 9.3.
An intrinsically safe installation requires user-supplied intrinsic safety barriers that must be installed in
accordance with barrier manufacturer's instructions for the specific barriers used.
4-2 August 1997

Transmitter certification is based on the "Entity" concept in which the user selects barriers that permit
the system to meet the entity parameters.
! Models 341D, A, and G - Consider pressure piping recommendations. Refer to Section 4.3.3.
! Determine conduit routing. Refer to Section 4.6.2.
! Consider bolting the Transmitter to a two or three-valve manifold.
Model 341D - Install a three-valve manifold as this device provides both an equalizing valve and high
and low pressure block valves.
Use the equalizing valve to equalize pressure between inputs before calibrating or servicing the
transmitter. Use block valves to isolate the transmitter from the process for servicing or removal.
Models 341A and G - Install a two-valve manifold for similar purposes to those stated above.
! Prepare installation site drawings showing the following:

! Location of the Master Device (e.g., HART Communicator or controller)
! Location and identification of each Transmitter
! Routing plan of signal cable(s)
! Location of any signal cable junctions for connecting the HART Communicator
4.3.2 Electrical
! Determine Transmitter operating mode (analog or digital) and type of Network needed; refer to
Section 4.3.5.
! Determine minimum power supply requirements. Refer to Section 4.3.6.
! Select twinaxial cable type and determine maximum cable length. Refer to Section 4.3.7.
! Determine the need for network junctions. Refer to Section 4.3.8.
! Intrinsically Safe installations will need barriers. Refer to Section 4.3.9.
! Consider the effect of connecting additional equipment (e.g., recorder, loop powered display) to the
network. Refer to Section 4.3.10.
! Read Section 4.3.11 for grounding and shielding recommendations.
August 1997 4-3

4.3.3 Impulse Piping for Models 341D, A, and G

Impulse piping is the piping to be connected to the Transmitter's process connection(s). For suggested
flow and level measurement piping arrangements, refer to:
! Model 341D - Figures 4-1 and 4-2

! Model 341A or G - Figures 4-3, 4-4 and 4-5
Note the following when planning and installing piping.
! Install impulse piping in accordance with ANSI Code B31.1.0.
! Make impulse piping length as short as possible to reduce frictional loss and temperature-induced
pressure variations. However, when using impulse lines on a high temperature process, locate the
transmitter far enough away from the heat source to keep it within temperature specifications [10EC
(50E F) per foot cooling to a normal ambient is assumed for uninsulated impulse lines].
! For lines between the process and Transmitter, use impulse piping of 3/8" OD or larger to avoid
friction effects (causes lagging) and blockage.
! Use the least number of fittings and valves possible to minimize leakage problems. TFE/PTFE7 tape is
the recommended thread sealant for process connections at the Transmitter.
! Valves used in pressure service should be either globe or gate type. Valves used in gas service should
be of a type that does not permit condensate to build up behind the valve.
! Install sediment chambers with drain valves to collect solids suspended in process liquids or moisture
carried with non-condensing gases.
! Install air chambers with vent valves at high point in piping to vent gas entrained in process liquid.
! Remote diaphragm seals can be used to keep corrosive liquid or gas from the transmitter pressure
inlets and isolation diaphragm (see PI340-2 for details).
Alternatively, use sealing fluid to isolate the process from the transmitter. Sealing fluid must be of
greater density than process fluid and non-miscible.
! For Transmitters located above the process, slope piping from the Transmitter at least 1 inch/foot (83
mm/M) down toward process.
For Transmitters below the process, slope piping at least 1 inch/foot (83 mm/M) up to process.
! Protect pressure lines (by shielding if necessary) from objects or equipment that may bend or kink the
line causing fluid flow restriction.
! Protect the pressure lines from extreme temperature ranges. Lines should be protected from freezing
by installing a heat trace.
! A three-valve manifold should be used with a Model 341D Transmitter to permit servicing and zero
checks. A two-valve manifold can be used with a Model 341A or G.

4.3.4 Tank and Pipe Mounting for Model 341P

As shown in Figure 4-6, Model 341P is typically mounted to a tank or pipe using a closely dimensioned
spud (nipple). A hole is cut in the tank or pipe and the spud welded in place. It is imperative that the spud
manufacturer's installation instructions be followed to prevent distortion of the spud and a poor or
interference fit between the spud and transmitter.

4.3.5 Transmitter Operating Mode and Network Type

A Transmitter will output either an analog current or an equivalent digital signal, depending upon the
selected operating mode. The operating mode also determines the type of Network (Point-To-Point or
Multi-Drop) to be installed, as shown in Table 4.1 and the following subsections. Select the operating
mode during Transmitter configuration as described in the following subsections and Section 5.

4.3.5.1 Analog Mode

When a transmitter is configured for analog mode operation, the following statements apply.
! The transmitter outputs a 4-20 mA signal for input to devices such as controllers and recorders.
! A Point-To-Point Network is used comprising a Transmitter, Primary/Secondary Master, and other

non-signalling devices. Transmitter polling address is 0 (zero).
Point-To-Point Networks are shown in Figures 4-7 and 4-8.
! The optional Analog Meter can be used for local indication of transmitter output.
! Each Transmitter is factory configured for analog mode unless otherwise ordered. The POLLING
ADDRESS is set to zero (0).
! A HART Communicator is used for configuration, diagnostics, and reporting the current process
variable.
4.3.5.2 Digital Mode

When a transmitter is configured for digital mode operation, the following statements apply.
! The process variable is transmitted digitally. The analog output of each transmitter is "parked" at 4
mA.
! Employs a Multi-Drop Network. See Figure 4-9.
! The optional Analog Meter can not be used since there is no 4-20 mA output signal.
! The number of Allowable Network Elements is:

Primary and Secondary Masters - 1 each
Transmitters - 1 to 15
! The HART communication source can be a Primary or Secondary Master. A Primary Master can be
used for data acquisition, maintenance, or control purposes. A Secondary Master, the HART
Communicator for example, may be used for configuration, diagnostics, and reporting current process
variable.
! Place the transmitter in the digital mode by assigning it a POLLING ADDRESS (1 to 15) when
configuring the TRANSMITTER ID BLOCK with the HART Communicator (see Section 5.1.1).
! Each transmitter must have a unique address.

4.3.6 Power Supply Requirements

A power supply is needed to power the Transmitter(s). The power supply can be:
! A separate stand-alone supply capable of powering several Transmitters. It can be mounted in a

control room or in the field. Follow the power supply manufacturer's recommendations with regard to
mounting and environmental considerations.
! Located in a controller (such as a Primary Master) or

voltage needed for the calculated Network Resistance Power Suppply, Vdc
(when an optional analog LCD meter is installed).
The total Network Resistance is the sum of the Current Sense Resistance, end-to-end Barrier Resistance
(if used), wire resistance, and any other resistances in the loop. The minimum Network Resistance (see
Glossary) required to support HART communications is 250S. The maximum resistance is 1100S.
4.3.6.1 Point-To-Point Network

The above Figure defines an analog mode Transmitter's operating region for the allowable ranges of
supply voltage and network resistance. Perform the following simple calculations to ensure that the power
supply output voltage permits the Transmitter to remain within the indicated operating range.
1. Calculate the minimum power supply output voltage.
The minimum network power supply voltage requirement is a function of Network Resistance and full
scale current (22.5 mA), and is calculated by the following formula:
Minimum Power Supply Output Voltage = 12 volts + (0.0225 x Network Resistance in ohms)
Power supply output voltage must be greater than the calculated value. The minimum voltage across
the input terminals of a Transmitter is 12 volts.
2. Calculate the maximum power supply output voltage.
The maximum network power supply voltage is a function of Network Resistance and zero scale
current (3.85 mA), and is calculated by the following formula:
Maximum Power Supply Output Voltage = 42 volts + (0.00385 x Network Resistance in ohms)
Power supply output voltage must be less than the calculated value. The maximum voltage permitted
across the input terminals of a Transmitter is 42 volts.
4-14 August 1997

4.3.6.2 Multi-Drop Network

Perform the following simple calculations to ensure that the power supply output voltage permits the
Transmitter to remain within its operating range.
1. Calculate the minimum power supply output voltage.
Minimum network power supply voltage is a function of Network Resistance and the total current
draw of all transmitters in the Network, and is calculated by the following formula:
Minimum Supply Output Voltage = 12 volts + [(0.004 x number of transmitters on Network) x (Network Resistance)]
Power supply output voltage must be greater than the calculated value. The minimum voltage across
the input terminals of a Transmitter is 12 volts.
2. Calculate the maximum power supply output voltage.
Maximum network power supply voltage is a function of Network Resistance and total current draw
of all the transmitters in the Network, and is calculated by the following formula:
Maximum Supply Output Voltage = 42 volts + [(0.004 x number of transmitters on Network) x (Network Resistance)]
Power supply output voltage must be less than the calculated value. The maximum voltage permitted
across the input terminals of a Transmitter is 42 volts.
The maximum number of Transmitters that can be connected to a Multi-Drop Network is fifteen. Each
Transmitter is "parked" in a low current draw mode (4 mA) to conserve power. Ensure that the network
power supply is capable of sourcing the total current consumed by the number of transmitters on the
Network.
4.3.7 Cable Capacitance and Maximum Length

A cable length calculation is necessary when HART communication is to be employed. Cable
capacitance directly affects maximum Network length.
4.3.7.1 Cable Capacitance

Cable type, conductor size, and recommended cable model numbers are stated in Section 9.3.3 Two-Wire
Cable.
Cable capacitance is a parameter used in the calculation of the maximum length of cable that can be used
to construct the Network. The lower the cable capacitance the longer the Network can be.
Manufacturers typically list two capacitance values for an instrumentation cable:
1. Capacitance between the two conductors.
2. Capacitance between one conductor and the other conductor(s) connected to shield. This
capacitance is the worst case value and is to be used in the cable length formula.
August 1997 4-15

4.3.7.2 Maximum Cable Length Calculation

The maximum permissible single -pair cable length is 10,000 feet (3000 meters) or less as determined by
the following formula:
65,000,000 Cf + 10,000
L= -
RxC C
Formula Definitions:
L: The maximum total length of cable permitted to construct the Network. L = Feet when C is in
pF/ft. L = meters when C is in pF/meter.
R: The Network Resistance which is the ohmic sum of the Current Sense Resistance and Barrier
Resistance (both Return and Supply), if any, in the Network and the resistance of the wire.
C: Cable capacitance per unit length between one conductor and the other conductor connected to
the shield. C may be in pF/ft or pF/meter.
Cf: Total input terminal capacitance of Field Instruments; the Primary Master is excluded. Cf is
given by the following formula:
Cf = (sum of all Cn values) x (5000)
Where Cn is an integer (e.g., 1, 2, 3) corresponding to the input terminal capacitance of a Field

Instrument. Cn values are determined as follows:
FIELD INSTRUMENT CAPACITANCE Cn VALUE
Less than 5000 pF 1
5000 pF to less than 10000 pF 2
15000 pf to less than 20000 pF 4
For Field Instruments without Cn values, use Cn = 1

Example Calculation:
Assume a Network consists of two Field Instruments (both Cn = 1).
Let R = 250S, C = 40 pF/ft., Cf = (1 + 1) x 5000 = 10,000
65,000,000 10,000 + 10,000

Then L = - = 6000 feet (1800 meters)

4-16 August 1997

4.3.8 Network Junctions
A Network Junction is shown in Figure 4-7. It is a wiring junction installed at a convenient point in the
loop to facilitate wiring, testing, and troubleshooting. Typically the Junction is a conventional terminal block
mounted on a panel with a protective cover, cabinet, or junction box to enclose and protect wiring
terminals.
Multiple Junctions can be installed to provide field access terminals for the connection of an HART
Communicator.
Note the following:
! Network with Barriers - Locate a Junction anywhere along the Network in the non-hazardous area
between a barrier and the Current Sense Resistor.
! Network without Barriers - A Junction may be located anywhere along the Network between the
Current Sense Resistor and Transmitter.
! A Junction should be a simple electrical series connection containing NO repeaters or other devices
(active or passive) that can degrade HART communications.
4.3.9 Safety Barriers

Installed safety barriers must comply with the following:
! Locate intrinsic safety barriers between the system power supply (e.g., Primary Master, if used)
residing in the non-hazardous area and the transmitter(s) in the hazardous area.
! Combined or separate supply and return barriers may be used.
! For an intrinsically safe application, the DC voltage applied to the safe side of the barrier must be 0.6
Vdc less than the rated barrier working voltage.
! An Active Supply Barrier must be operated within its specified input working voltage.
! Barrier shunt impedance to ground to the HART range of frequencies (500 Hz to 2500 Hz) shall not
be less than 5000S.
! Barrier end-to-end resistance, stated by the manufacturer, is used in calculating the maximum
Network cable length and minimum and maximum network voltages.
! The barrier shall be installed and wired in accordance with the manufacturers instructions.
Refer to Appendix B for a list of barriers tested for use with typical HART Primary Masters.
August 1997 4-17

4.3.10 Connection of Miscellaneous Hardware

Miscellaneous non-signaling hardware (e.g., recorders, current meters) may be connected to a Point-To-
Point Network in accordance with the following list.
IMPORTANT
No non-signaling hardware (meters or measuring devices) may be

connected to a Multi-Drop Network since the transmitters, in this mode,
do not output an analog process variable.
! Miscellaneous hardware may be series or parallel connected to the Network according to its function.
! Miscellaneous hardware must be passive two-terminal devices.
! Miscellaneous hardware may not generate any type of noise or signals, other than noise that is
inherent in resistive components.
! Individual miscellaneous hardware must meet the following requirements:
! Capacitance to Ground ............... 50 pF maximum

! Resistance to Ground ................ 1 MS minimum
! Impedance if Series Connected ............... Less than 10S
! Impedance if Parallel Connected ............... Greater than 50kS.
! The maximum number of miscellaneous devices per Network is 16. The combined electrical
characteristics may not exceed the following:
! Maximum capacitance to ground ............... 800 pF

! Minimum resistance to ground ............... 62.5kS
! Maximum series impedance ............... 160S
! Minimum parallel impedance ............... 3125S
4.3.11 Shielding and Grounding

The preferred method of grounding the loop cable shield is illustrated in Figures 4-7, 4-8, and 4-9.
The following guidelines represent proven grounding practices that will reduce magnetically coupled
interference:
! Ground the cable shield at ONE point, as shown.
! Non-hazardous location - At the Network power supply

! Hazardous location - At the barrier(s)
4-18 August 1997

! When the cable shield is grounded at the power supply (non-hazardous location only):
a) The cable shield should remain open (not connected) at the Field Instrument (Transmitter).
b) The shields of both cables at a Network Junction should be spliced. Alternatively, connect both
to a terminal in the Box or Panel, provided that the terminal is isolated from ground.
! Point-To-Point Network (non-hazardous location only)
Other permissible single point grounding schemes are:
a) The cable shield may be grounded at the Ground Connection in the signal terminal compartment
of the transmitter's electronic housing. It is recommended that a separate ground wire be run
from this Ground Connection to building ground to ensure a dependable ground.
The power supply (+) and (-) connections must be floated and the shields at Network Junctions
must be connected as discussed above.
b) The cable shield(s) may be grounded at a Network Junction Box or Wiring Panel provided that
the cable shields are connected to either a terminal or the Box or Panel frame, and the terminal
or frame is grounded.
The power supply (+) and (-) connections must be floated and the cable shield at the transmitter
must not be connected.
! Multi-Drop Network (non-hazardous location only)
If the Primary Master's power supply output is isolated from ground, the Network may be floated.
The cable shield should be connected only to one point: the Primary Master's negative supply output.
4.4 MECHANICAL INSTALLATION, MODELS 341D, A, and G

This section describes the mechanical installation of a Transmitter and the installation of electrical conduit
for wiring. Transmitter dimensions are given in Figure 9-1. Related mounting information for optional
mounting bracket kits is provided in Figures 4-10, 4-11, 4-12, and 4-13.
Mount a Transmitter in any position (orientation). The mounting position can cause a zero shift, however,
any zero shift is simply calibrated out with the Transmitter installed in its final mounting position. Refer to
Section 7 Calibration and Maintenance for details.
Be sure to allow sufficient clearance for:

! Installation of impulse piping
! Installation of wiring
! Removal of the enclosure end cap

1. Fasten the Mounting Bracket to a flat surface.
1) Determine mounting hardware. See the Figure for bracket mounting hole dimensions.
2) Lay out the mounting hole pattern on the selected surface. Drill four mounting holes in the wall
or plate (typically, 0.344-inch diameter to accept 5/16-inch bolts).
Consider the thickness of the mounting surface and the selected mounting hardware (e.g., screw
anchors, nuts and washers) in determining the required length of the mounting bolts.
3) Place the pipe-groove side of the bracket against the mounting surface site and align the bracket
and surface mounting holes. Install the bracket with user supplied 5/16-inch bolts, washers, and
hex nuts.
2. Fasten the Transmitter to the Mounting Bracket; refer to Section 4.4.1, step 1, Universal Bracket to

3. Reposition the Transmitter's optional Analog Meter as necessary. Refer to Section 4.6.1.
4.4.3 Direct Mounting to Process, Model 341D

The Transmitter can be interfaced to the process through a commercially available two or three-valve
manifold and supported by the piping connections (3-inch nipples) if mounted directly at the point of
measurement.
Transmitter process connections are on 2.13-inch (54 mm) centers to allow direct mounting (bolting) to a
manifold with the same spacing. Each transmitter
Low
process connection has two tapped 7/16-20 mounting Pressure
holes and a 1/4 NPT tapped pressure inlet. Side
Process orifice flanges with standard 2.13-inch spacing

permit a transmitter and two or three-valve manifold Flow
combination to be direct mounted.

3. Thread 1/2" nipples of 3 inch (or less) length into the high and low pressure ports of the orifice flanges.
Thread sealant must be used.
4. Thread the process connection blocks directly onto the nipples. Thread sealant must be used. The
1/2" NPT tapped hole in a process connection block is off center to accommodate 2" or 2.25" centers
(Figure 9-1). For 2.13" pipe centers, the tapped holes should be offset to the right side.
5. Place the supplied TFE/PTFE gaskets on the connection blocks and bolt them to the manifold.
6. Reposition the optional Analog Meter as necessary. Refer to Section 4.6.1.
4.5 MECHANICAL INSTALLATION, MODEL 341P

Figure 4-14 shows the typical mounting of a Model 341P in a spud.
To mount a spud in the desired tank or pipe and then install the transmitter, refer to the information
supplied with the spud and to the general procedure provided below.
4.5.1 Mount The Spud

1. Cut hole for spud
1) Mark on the tank or pipe the exact location where the spud and transmitter are to be mounted.
2) Determine the outside diameter of the spud from the manufacturers literature.
3) Cut or drill a hole that is slightly smaller than this diameter in the tank or pipe.
4) Use a file or other tool to slightly enlarge the hole so that the spud fits tightly. This minimizes
distortion during welding.
2. Weld spud in place
1) With the spud in the tank or pipe, insert the transmitter plug in the spud. The transmitter
diaphragm must be flush with the inside wall of the tank -- on small diameter pipes the spud and
transmitter will extend into the pipe.
2) Mark the spud both inside and out where it is to be welded. Remove the transmitter.
3) Weld the spud to the tank or pipe. The plug will use either heliarc or arc and stabilized 316
stainless steel rod to prevent carbide precipitation and corrosion of the weld. Be careful not to
distort the spud.
3. Grind spud flush
1) Grind the spud flush with the inside of the tank.

2) Remove any burrs or rough edges being careful not to score the spud's inside walls. A scored
wall can allow leakage past the gasket or O-ring. A burr in the Bolt-In-Place spud's bolt hole
can damage the O-ring during transmitter installation.
August 1997 4-27

4.5.2 Install The Model 341P

IMPORTANT
Silicon Grease - The Miniature Bolt-In-Place model has the O-ring

installed and lubricated at the factory with silicon grease. Handle the
transmitter carefully.
1. Standard Thread Mtg. - Place the TFE/PTFE gasket in the spud.
2. Insert the transmitter into the spud and tighten the threaded ring or mounting bolt.
3. If possible, check inside the tank or pipe to see that the transmitter's diaphragm is flush with the spud's
tip. Fill pipe or tank and check for leaks.

UM341-2 ON-LINE CONFIGURATION AND OPERATION
5.0 ON-LINE CONFIGURATION AND OPERATION
On-line operation includes remote configuration and monitoring involving communication between the
HART Communicator (host device) and Model 341 (field device). It also includes local configuration using
the transmitter’s built-in magnetic switches.
Figures 2-2, 3-1, and 3-2 show connections for on-line configuration. Here, the HART Communicator and
Model 341 are directly communicating and data may be uploaded from the transmitter to the HART
Communicator or downloaded from the HART Communicator to the transmitter. In addition, the Model
341 can be configured locally using built-in magnetic switches.
The first part of this section contains the steps to configure and monitor a Model 341 from a HART
Communicator. The latter part of the section describes local operation of a transmitter using its magnetic
switches.
5.1 REMOTE CONFIGURATION AND OPERATION
5.1.1 Configuration
Each transmitter is shipped with default data stored in its memory. Some of this data controls
communication and transmitter operation and cannot be altered by the user. Other data is used to make
the transmitter respond to changes in pressure with a change in current or digital output and is alterable by
the user. This data includes configuration parameters that are used to set up the transmitter.
Begin configuration as described in the following pages. Note that a two-column format is used for the
remainder of this section: HART Communicator screens are shown in the right-hand column, related
procedure steps in the left-hand column.

Function Blocks
There are 4 function blocks in a Model 341 transmitter, including

the Write Protect block discussed above. Each block contributes
a specific operation and each operation is defined by one or more
user-defined parameters. Configuration is the process of
selecting the needed function blocks and entering or editing the
parameters Appendix A describes each function block with its
parameters. Appendix C provides the default value for each
parameter.
After parameters have been defined, the new configuration

information for that block can be sent immediately to a
transmitter, or the user can change the parameters of other
function blocks, then send the configuration for all the function
blocks at once.
NOTE
Configurations cannot be sent if write protect mode is

enabled.

5.2 LOCAL TRANSMITTER OPERATION

The Model 341 has three local magnetic switches labeled FS (fullscale), D (damping), and Z (zero) located
on the housing. These switches are activated using the magnetic end of the Moore Products Co.
screwdriver supplied with each unit.
P/N 20027-84 X02810S0
MOORE PRODUCTS CO.
Straight-Slot Tip Magnetic End
IMPORTANT
Use only the Moore Products Co. magnetic screwdriver to actuate the
magnetic switches. Other magnets can cause inconsistent behavior of
one or more switches.
5.2.1 Set Local Zero

The Z (zero) switch is used to set the Lower Range Value parameter of the transmitter to the applied
pressure. The Z selection will not affect span.
1. Set the process pressure to the zero value.

2. Place the transmitter in Pushbutton Mode by holding the magnetic end of the screwdriver on the Z
switch for 5 or more seconds before removing it. Pushbutton Mode will automatically time-out after
one minute.
NOTE
Failure to hold the screwdriver magnet on the switch for a minimum of 5

seconds will prevent entry into Pushbutton Mode.
Pushbutton Mode can be de-activated in two ways: by momentarily holding the magnetic end of the
screwdriver on the D switch and then removing it, or by allowing the one minute "active mode" period
to time-out.
3. Enter the zero value by momentarily pressing the magnetic end of the screwdriver on the Z switch.
This stores the pressure applied in step one as the Lower Range Value.
NOTE
If the process is out of the range of the transmitter, a new zero value will
not be stored.
NOTE
If the new zero value would shift the fullscale value past the sensor limit,
the new fullscale value is automatically set to the appropriate sensor limit
August 1997 5-9

(except in the case where this would produce a span that is too small, in
which case new zero and fullscale values are not stored).
5.2.2 Set Local Fullscale

The FS (fullscale) switch is used to set the Upper Range Value equal to the applied pressure. Changing
the fullscale value will not change the zero.
1. Apply fullscale pressure to the transmitter.

2. Place the transmitter in Pushbutton Mode by holding the magnetic end of the screwdriver on the FS
switch for a minimum of 5 seconds, as described above.
3. Enter the fullscale value by momentarily holding the magnetic end of the screwdriver on the FS
switch. This stores the pressure applied in step 1 as the fullscale pressure.
NOTE
Changing the fullscale value of the transmitter does not affect the zero
value. If the input value is either smaller than the minimum span or larger
than the maximum span allowed by the transmitter, a new fullscale value
will not be stored.
5.2.3 Set Local Damping

The D (damping), Z and FS switches are used to select one of the ten damping values. A Model 275 can
be used to confirm the damping settings in the following procedure.
1. Place the transmitter in Pushbutton Mode by holding the magnetic end of the screwdriver on the D
switch for a minimum of 5 seconds.
2. Set the damping value to zero seconds by momentarily pressing the Z switch with the magnetic end of
the screwdriver at least ten times. This provides a known starting point, 0 seconds.
3. Momentarily press the magnetic end of the screwdriver against a Z or FS switch to select a new
damping value from the following choices: 0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.5, 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, or 30 seconds. Each press of
the magnet against a Z or FS switch steps the damping one selection. The Z switch steps the
selection down from the starting point (e.g. 30, 20, 10...); the FS switch steps the selection up from the
starting point (e.g., 0.1, 0.2, 0.5...).
NOTE
If unsure of the number or presses or present damping value, perform

step 2 again to set the value to zero or check the value with a Model 275.
4. Momentarily press and release the D switch with the magnetic end of the screwdriver to store the
new damping value in the transmitter's EEPROM.

UM341-2 CALIBRATION AND MAINTENANCE
7.0 CALIBRATION AND MAINTENANCE

This section describes calibration, preventive maintenance, and troubleshooting. The Calibration section
contains procedures to calibrate a Model 341 and to eliminate any position induced zero shift.
The Maintenance section has preventive maintenance procedures that are employed to prevent conditions
from occurring that would be detrimental to the reliability of the Transmitter. Should a malfunction occur,
troubleshooting procedures will assist in minimizing down-time. This section also includes Transmitter
removal and replacement procedures, recommended spare and replacement parts, and an exploded view
drawing with a parts list.
WARNING
In Division 1 areas, where an explosion-proof rating is required, remove

power from the Transmitter before removing the Transmitter's end cap
for access to the electrical terminal compartment.
7.1 CALIBRATION
A Transmitter is calibrated at the factory and should not require field calibration, except to eliminate any
position induced zero shift. Section 7.1.2 describes field calibration of a Transmitter.
Some transmitter orientations will cause a position induced zero shift. Perform the brief procedure in
Section 7.1.3 to re-zero the transmitter. Note that calibrating an installed Transmitter or positioning the
Transmitter during a bench calibration to exactly match the installed orientation eliminates the need to
perform the procedure.
Transmitter calibration should be checked at least annually and the procedures in this section performed if
out of tolerance.
A Model 275 is needed for calibration. It provides two calibration programs:
• DAC OUTPUT - Calibrates the Digital-to-Analog Converter that sets the transmitter's analog output
signal.
• MOUNTING POSITION - Re-zeros transmitter for position induced zero shift.
Recommended test equipment is listed in Section 7.1.1 and typical wiring diagrams are shown in Figures 7-
1 and 7-2.
7.1.1 Equipment Required

• Model 275 Universal HART Communicator - refer to Section 2 of this User's Manual
• Laboratory grade digital multimeter (DMM); for calibrating the 4 to 20 mA output signal
Voltmeter Section ............. Accuracy +/-0.01% of reading
Resolution 1.0 mV
Input impedance 10 MS
Ammeter Section .............. Accuracy +/-0.1% of reading

• Resistor 250S +/-1%, carbon, 1/4 watt; for bench calibration
August 1997 7-1

CALIBRATION AND MAINTENANCE UM341-2
7.1.2 Calibrate Digital-to-Analog Converter (DAC)

Calibration of the DAC is not normally required and should be performed only after all other options have
been exhausted. Bench calibration is recommended; perform steps 1 through 15.
1. Disconnect the transmitter from the process by performing

the steps in Section 7.5.
NOTE
Removing a transmitter can interrupt power to

other transmitters powered from a common
power source. Note the effect this can have on
process control and operation and, if necessary,
follow the proper procedures to shut down the
process.
When disconnecting the LOOP leads, carefully

insulate each lead as it is removed to prevent
accidental shorts.
2. Remove the enclosure cap to access the terminal compartment.

3. Connect the HART Communicator and DMM to the loop as
shown in either Figure 7-1 or 7-2. Set the DMM to measure
4-20 mA.
4. Establish communication between the Communicator and
transmitter. Refer to Section 3.2 as necessary.
5. Be sure the polling address is set to 0 (analog mode). Refer
to Section 5.1.1.3 as necessary.
6. From the Online menu, press “2” to display the
Calibrate/Test menu. Press “2” to display the Calibrate
menu.
7. Press “2” to begin the Calibrate DAC process. The
Communicator displays the message “WARN–Loop should
be removed from automatic control.” If it is permissible to do
this, do so, and press OK (F4). If not, press ABORT (F3) to
terminate this procedure.
8. If OK was pressed, the Communicator displays the reminder
message “Connect reference meter.” If necessary, press
ABORT (F3) to terminate the procedure and make the meter
connection. Return to step 3 and start over.
9. If OK was pressed, the Communicator displays “Setting fld
dev output to 4 mA.” Press OK (F4) to continue or press
ABORT (F3) to terminate the procedure.

one shown in step 12. Enter the correct value and proceed.
16. After completing the 20.000 mA calibration, the
Communicator displays the message “Returning fld dev to
original output” followed by the “Loop may be returned to
automatic control.” Press OK (F4) to continue and terminate
the procedure.
17. Disconnect the test equipment, reconnect the jumper on the
circuit junction terminals (Figure 7-2), and if necessary return
the polling address to the appropriate value.
This completes calibration of the transmitter.
7.1.3 Mounting Position Zero Shift Calibration Transmitter

Factory calibration is performed with the transmitter oriented vertically,
Nameplate
as shown here. A zero shift can occur as a Transmitter is rotated from
this orientation, depending upon transmitter type and direction of
rotation. Maximum zero shift is 1.2 inches H2O (299 Pa). The following X02799SO
paragraphs can help predict zero shift for a selected transmitter model
and desired mounting orientation.

Factory Calibration Orientation
7-4 August 1997

Model 341D:
• Two diaphragms are used.

• There is no zero shift as long as the two diaphragms are in the same horizontal plane and that plane is
parallel to the surface of the earth.
• Maximum zero shift will occur when the two diaphragms are in a vertical plane with one above the
other (i.e., rotated 90E CW or CCW) from that shown in the a adjacent figure.
Models 341A, 341G, or 341P:
• One diaphragm is used.

• There is no zero shift as long as the diaphragm is parallel to the surface of the earth.
• Maximum zero shift will occur when the diaphragm is perpendicular to the earth (i.e., rotated 90E in
any direction) from that shown above.
Each time a transmitter is rotated from the orientation in which it was zeroed, there is the possibility of
zero shift and the need for re-zeroing.
Zero shift is easily removed by performing the following procedure.
1. Mount the Transmitter in its final mounting position (orientation).
IMPORTANT
A bench re-zeroing can be performed provided the Transmitter is exactly

positioned (oriented) as it will be when installed in the field. A field re-zeroing is
preferred for best accuracy.
2. Pipe the transmitter and adjust applied pressures.
• Model 341D Differential Pressure Transmitter - For best performance, NO pressures, other than
atmospheric, should be applied to the Transmitter's process HIGH and LOW input pressure ports
unless used in a process that has a constant measurable static pressure. In this case perform this
procedure at the operating static pressure.
For field mounted differential pressure transmitters with piping connected to the LOW pressure
port, the manipulation of piping valves and/or drains may be needed to ensure the appropriate
requirement is met.
• Model 341A Absolute Pressure Transmitter - To zero

the Transmitter, a full vacuum must be pulled on the
Transmitter. A zero off-set will occur with less than a
full vacuum.

installed. HELP |SAVE |HOME
5. Press “1” on the keypad or press the RIGHT

ARROW/SELECT key to access the Zero trim menu.
6. The Communicator displays the message “WARN–Loop
should be removed from automatic control.” If it is
permissible to do this, do so, and press OK (F4). If not, press
ABORT (F3) to terminate this procedure.
7. If OK was pressed, the Communicator displays the message
“WARN–This will affect sensor calibration.” Press OK (F4)
to continue or press ABORT (F3) to terminate this procedure
without calibrating the sensor zero.
If OK was pressed, the Communicator displays “Apply 0
input to sensor.” Make sure 0 input is being applied to the
transmitter, then press OK (F4).
8. The Communicator automatically re-zeros the sensor while
displaying the message “Sensor input stabilizing.” It then
displays “Sensor zero succeeded” followed by “NOTE–Loop
may now be returned to automatic control.” This signifies
that the zero has been adjusted correctly.
To terminate the procedure, do not change the input and
press ABORT (F3).
9. Return the loop to automatic control if necessary, then press
OK (F4) to return to the Calibrate menu. This completes the
zero trim procedure.
7.2 PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE

Preventive maintenance consists of periodic inspection of the Transmitter, cleaning the external surface of
the Transmitter's enclosure, draining condensate from conduit, and blowing-down or purging impulse piping
to keep it free of sediment. Preventive maintenance should be performed at regularly scheduled intervals.
7.2.1 Tool and Equipment Requirements

The following tools and equipment are required for servicing:
• Set of Phillips and flat-blade screwdrivers.

• Set of open-end or box-end wrenches.
• Torque wrench (30 ft-lbs), 11/16" socket; used for connection block bolts.
• Digital Multimeter (DMM); see Section 7.1.1 for specifications
7-6 August 1997

7.2.2 Transmitter Exterior Inspection

The frequency of the inspection will depend on the severity of the Transmitter's environment.
1. Inspect the exterior of the Transmitter enclosure for accumulated oil, dust, dirt, and especially any
corrosive process overspray.
2. Check that the enclosure cap is fully threaded onto the enclosure, compressing the O-ring between the
cap and the enclosure. The O-ring must not be cracked, broken, or otherwise damaged.
3. If an analog meter is installed, inspect the protective viewing glass in the enclosure cap for cleanliness
and damage. A cracked or punctured glass must be replaced; see Section 7.4 and the Parts List at
the back of this Manual.
4. Inspect both enclosure conduit entrances for possible moisture leaks. An unused conduit entrance
must be plugged and sealed. Inspect the cable clamps of all watertight cable conduits for loose
clamps and deteriorated sealing material. Tighten clamps and reseal as necessary.
5. If a conduit drain is installed, inspect the drain seals for obstructions.
6. If subjected to vibration, inspect all transmitter and mounting bracket hardware for tightness. Tighten
loose hardware as necessary. Consider steps to reduce vibration.
7. Model 341D, A, or G - Inspect process connection blocks for evidence of leakage, both at the impulse
pipe connections and at the block interface to the enclosure manifold. If necessary, add sealant to
pipe threads, tighten block bolts, and replace block TFE/PTFE seals.
8. Model 341P - Inspect transmitter and spud for leakage. Depending upon model, tighten threaded ring
or replace O-ring.
7.2.3 Transmitter Exterior Cleaning

After an exterior inspection of the Transmitter, the enclosure can be cleaned with the Transmitter
operating.
1. Clean the enclosure (except enclosure cap glass) and process manifold with a mild, nonabrasive liquid
detergent, and a soft bristle brush, sponge, or cloth. Rinse the weatherproof enclosure with a gentle
spraying of water.
If the Transmitter is subjected to heavy process overspray, keep the enclosure free of excessive
accumulation of process residue. Hot water or air may be used to flush away process residue if the
temperature of the cleaning medium does not exceed the operating temperatures of the Transmitter as
listed in Section 9.3.4 Environmental.
2. Clean enclosure cap glass with a mild nonabrasive liquid cleaner and a soft, lint-free cloth.
7.2.4 Transmitter Enclosure Interior Inspection

Remove the enclosure cap periodically to inspect the interior of the enclosure's terminal compartment.
Because the enclosure is sealed, there should be no accumulation of dust, dirt, or water (condensate) in
the interior. If condensate is present, a conduit drain must be installed. See Figure 4-17.
Check that all wire connections are tight.
Enclosure threads must be coated with a wet, paste-type, anti-seize compound such as Never-Seez by
Emhart Bostik. Inspect the enclosure O-ring for damage.
August 1997 7-7

7.2.5 Transmitter Calibration

An annual calibration check should be performed to ensure that the transmitter is within specifications.
Refer to Section 7.1 for details.
7.2.6 Impulse Piping, Models 341D, A, and G

To ensure accuracy and continued satisfactory performance, impulse piping must be kept clean and
inspected for damage.
Sediment or other foreign particles must not clog or collect in piping or the pressure chamber of the
process manifold's process connection blocks. A build up of residue can cause faulty measurement.
1. Inspect impulse piping for loose, bent, or cracked piping. Replace damaged piping.
2. At regular intervals, blow down the piping without passing line fluids containing suspended solids
through the process manifold's process connection blocks.
The time interval between blow downs is determined by the user's previous experience with such
systems or determined by evaluating system performance only after the Transmitter has been in
operation for a period of time.
7.3 TROUBLESHOOTING
This Section provides guidance and procedures to assist in identifying and correcting a malfunctioning
transmitter. Section 7.2.1 lists needed tools and equipment.
Make all documentation associated with the transmitter, including piping and loop wiring diagrams and
configuration documentation, available to maintenance personnel to facilitate troubleshooting.
The most common symptom of a malfunctioning transmitter is incorrect, erratic, or no output. A

malfunction can affect the transmitter’s analog output (4-20 mA) or its digital (HART) output.
Furthermore, a malfunction can be the result of external forces and not a transmitter fault at all. Section
7.3.1 discusses troubleshooting techniques for the analog output. Section 7.3.2 discusses troubleshooting
techniques for the digital output. Section 7.3.3. describes verifying a true transmitter failure should Section
7.3.1 or 7.3.2 not yield desirable results.
7.3.1 Analog Output

An analog output problem can appear as one of the following:
• No output or very low output. – There is no transmitter output or the output remains low despite
changes in the process.
• High output. – Transmitter output remains high despite changes in the process.
• Erratic output. – Transmitter output varies when process does not.
• Sluggish Response – Transmitter seems to respond to process changes very slowly.
Often an analog output problem is caused by incorrect transmitter configuration or by something external
to the transmitter. The following list shows possible causes and corrective actions for these problems. If
reviewing this list and performing applicable corrective actions does not remedy the problem, proceed to
Section 7.3.3 Diagnosing a Defective Transmitter.
7-8 August 1997

Check Impulse Piping
• Check that high and low pressure pipe connections are not reversed.
• Check for leaks or blockage.
• Check for entrapped gas in liquid lines or for liquid in dry lines.
• Check for sediment in transmitter’s process connection blocks.
• Check that blocking valves are fully open and that bypass valves are tightly closed.
• Check that the density of the fluid in piping is unchanged.
Check Loop Power Supply/Wiring
• Check loop power supply for blown fuse or tripped circuit breaker.
• Check for 12 Vdc minimum across loop +/- terminals in transmitter terminal compartment.
• Check power supply output voltage: 17 Vdc minimum; 42 Vdc maximum.
• Check polarity of loop wiring at both power supply and transmitter.
• Check for loose or broken loop wiring at power supply terminals, supply barriers (if used), junction
boxes, and transmitter terminal compartment.
• Check for disconnected or broken current sense resistor.
• Check for short between shield and loop + wire.
• Check for accumulation of moisture in transmitter terminal compartment.
• Check loop cable for proper type and length.
• Check for electrical interference between the loop cable and any adjacent cables in a cable tray or
conduit.
Check Transmitter Configuration
• Check for proper operating mode: analog, address 0; digital, address 1-15.
• Check for appropriate transfer function.
• Check zero dropout value.
Check for a Transmitter Stuck in Override Mode
• Re-enter Loop Override from HART Communicator Online menu and properly exit Loop Override
Mode.
Check for Variable Process Fluid Flow
• Install mechanical dampers in process pressure piping.

• Select a higher damping value (software filter time constant).
Check Primary Element
• Check that primary element is correctly installed.

• Check element for damage and leaks.
• Note any changes in process fluid properties that can affect output.
August 1997 7-9

7.3.2 Digital Output (Communication)

A malfunctioning digital output can indicate a defective communication circuit. More commonly, however,
these problems are caused by an incorrect or poor installation. It is possible to install a transmitter such
that the 4-20 mA signal is correct, yet the digital HART signal is not.
The most common symptom of a communication problem is the inability to locate a transmitter on the loop
using a HART Master Device, such as the HART Communicator. Typical messages from the HART
Communicator include: device disconnected, no device found, or communication error.
If communication problems occur, check the following. Refer to the specifications in Section 9 as
necessary.
• Check that loop resistance is between 250Ω and 1100Ω .

• Check that electrical noise on loop is not excessive: power supply ripple should not exceed 12 mVp-p.
• Check that there are no high inductance devices in the loop (I/P for example). Install a HART
communication filter across such a device.
• Check that the power supply voltage is high enough for the installed total loop resistance. Refer to
Section 4.
• Refer to Section 4 and confirm that loop cable length is not excessive.
• Check that the HART Master is connected across a load.
7.3.3 Diagnosing a Defective Transmitter

Should the above not remedy the problem, the sensor assembly or electronics module may have failed.
If the failure permits HART communication, use the HART Communicator to access the transmitter.
Microprocessor based self-diagnostic tests continuously examine the sensor assembly and electronics
module.
Perform the procedure below to access the diagnostic displays and determine if a fault exists.
1. If not already in communication with the suspect transmitter, establish communication (see Section
3.2).
2. Press the Quick Access Key and then press “2” to view the Status Menu. If “FAILSAFE” is
displayed the transmitter has entered the failsafe mode.
3. From the Status menu, press “2” to obtain a list of errors. Note which of the error messages in the
table below is displayed (multiple errors can be displayed).
4. Confirm that the fault still exists. Press the Quick Access Key again to return to the Online menu.
Activate the selftest function by choosing “2” Calibrate/Test, then press “1” to perform a self-test.
The transmitter will display a warning message, then perform the test.
• If the fault was temporary – possibly as a result of excessive electrical noise or a power line spike
– the Communicator will display “Transmitter PASSED transmitter selftest.” If the transmitter
passes the selftest, it automatically exits the failsafe mode and resumes normal operation. No
further action is required.
• If the fault remains, the Communicator displays the message “Transmitter FAILED transmitter
selftest.” Repeat the test for additional confirmation. If the transmitter fails again, consult the table
below and perform the appropriate corrective action.

* See Section 7.5 to replace a transmitter. Send the removed transmitter to the factory for repair.
See Section 7.9.
7.3.4 Diagnosing a Process Manifold Assembly Failure

The Process Manifold Assembly cannot be field repaired. If these steps confirm a problem within the
Manifold Assembly, see Section 7.9 to return the Transmitter to the factory for repair.
These procedures, consisting of a combination of Transmitter self-diagnostics and a known particular

symptom, can be used to confirm a Manifold Assembly problem:
1. Check for obvious physical damage to the Assembly or evidence of a loss of fill fluid.
2. Check Transmitter STATUS and perform a Transmitter SELFTEST. The Transmitter TEST will
check for a failed Assembly EEPROM, displayed as message E6 SENSOR on the ERRORS screen.
Transmitter self-diagnostics will not report a failure of the Assembly's Sensor or Enhanced-Mode
Oscillator (EMO). To identify this type failure, proceed to step 3.
3. Check for failed EMO/Sensor by pressing the Model 275 Quick Access Key/Xmtr Vars to display the
MV (measured variable), I (analog current), and PV (process variable) parameters. Interest is
centered only on the MV and I parameters. If the EMO or Sensor has failed, the value of the MV
and I are as follows:
MV ˜ LRL - 2 (Maximum Span) ; see Section 9.3 SPECIFICATIONS.
I ˜ 3.84 mA (if URV is > LRV) or š 21.6 mA (if URV is < LRV)
An example illustrating a few possible MV values for a Range D Assembly follows:
• Range D - Lower Range Limit: -450 inH2O and Maximum Span: 450 inH 2O (from Section 9.3)
• 450 inH2O is equivalent to: 16.25 PSI, 33.7 in. Hg, 842.4 mm Hg
For a Transmitter SENSOR INPUT BLOCK configured for any one of the following MV UNITS,
the corresponding fail condition for the MV is listed:
MV UNITS VALUE = 450 in. H2O MV ˜ Value

PSI 16.25 PSI -24.375 PSI
inHg 33.7 inHg -50.55 inHg
mmHg 842.4 mmHg -1263.6 mmHg
inH2O 450 inH2O -675 inH2O
August 1997 7-11

4. If steps 1, 2, and 3 do not confirm a Process Manifold Assembly defect, and all other loop elements
and wiring have been thoroughly tested, and the transmitter is still not performing properly, see Section
7.9 to return the Transmitter for repair.
7.3.5 Enclosure Thread Lubrication

An enclosure cap should turn smoothly and easily on the enclosure threads. These threads are factory
coated with a wet, paste-type, anti-seize compound such as Never-Seez by Emhart Bostik.
• Do not use force to thread a cap onto the enclosure.

• Be careful not to wipe off the lubricant while handling the transmitter.
• Recoat the enclosure threads if the cap is at all difficult to turn on the enclosure threads.
• Always inspect the enclosure O-ring for damage before installing a cap.
7.4 NON-FIELD-REPLACEABLE ITEMS

• Enclosure Cap Display Viewing Glass: Agency regulations do not permit field replacement of
a broken or damaged glass as this would invalidate the
enclosure's explosion proof rating. Replace the entire
damaged enclosure end cap assembly.

UM341-2 CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
8.0 CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION

This section provides a block diagram level circuit description of an XTC Model 341 Pressure Transmitter.
Figure 8-1 shows the functional block diagram of the Transmitter's Sensor Assembly and Electronics
Assembly.
The Model 341 Transmitter family consists of three model types: Differential Pressure, 341D; Absolute
Pressure, 341A; and Gauge Pressure, 341G. All models have the same Electronics Assembly design. All
models use the HART protocol to communicate with an XTC Communicator (HART Communicator) or
other HART Master.
8.1 SENSOR ASSEMBLY

The Sensor Assembly consists of a custom Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC) and a
capacitive pressure sensor element. These two components form the MycroSENSOR, a
state-of-the-art pressure sensor. The Sensor Assembly is part of the Process Manifold Assembly.
The Process Manifold Assembly also includes the process diaphragms, manifold and connection blocks.
During manufacturing, an operating Process Manifold Assembly is subjected to a carefully controlled
series of temperature and pressure cycles. Data recorded during those cycles are used to generate
characterization factors that are stored in an Electronics Assembly EEPROM. Sensor range limits are
also stored in the EEPROM. The resulting characterization curve describes that Process Manifold
Assembly's output for combinations of pressure and temperature.
The sensor element contains two silicon based capacitors: a sense capacitor (Cs) whose value changes in
response to an applied process pressure, and a reference capacitor (Cr) whose value is independent of
pressure. Layers of glass and silicon are combined to form the capacitive element. These layers are
anodically bonded to form a seal that is stronger than the glass itself and provides a monolithic structure
which is extremely stable and has no measurable hysteresis.
The custom ASIC, which is inside the sealed Sensor Assembly, contains oscillator, amplifier, and buffer
circuitry. The capacitive sensor element, the ASIC's oscillator circuit and the enhanced mode oscillator
(EMO) generate three frequencies based on the capacitive measurements of Cs, Cr, and Cs+Cr. These
frequencies are amplified and buffered by the ASIC and presented as CMOS compatible square wave
outputs for processing by the Electronics Assembly. (Request PI340-1 for additional details concerning
the MycroSENSOR.)
8.2 ELECTRONICS ASSEMBLY

The Electronics Assembly is a single circuit board located in the transmitter's housing. Electronic
components are installed using advanced surface mount technology. A separate Terminal Board contains
components that protect against overvoltage and reverse polarity of loop connections.
The circuit board contains the following:
• A standard Bell 202 Modem that employs Frequency Shift Keying (FSK) for remote communications
via the HART protocol.

• A Microcontroller that:
- Controls communications
- Corrects and linearizes the input pressure signal
- Stores configuration data; configuration data is stored in nonvolatile EEPROM memory in the
Microcontroller and is retained when power is interrupted permitting the Transmitter to
become functional upon power-up
- Performs re-ranging and damping value selection upon input from user actuated local Zero,
Fullscale, and Damping magnetic switches
• A custom ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit) that provides:

- A clock to the Microcontroller
- Frequency-to-digital conversion of pressure signal from sensor module
- Serial D/A conversion of the Sensor Assembly's signal to drive the V/I Converter
• A Low Voltage Power Supply with current limiting that provides DC operating power to the Sensor
and Electronic Assemblies
• A power supply Voltage Monitor that generates a Microcontroller Reset signal when the Network
(Loop) supply voltage is interrupted.
• A Bandpass Filter that passes HART signals and rejects low frequency analog signaling.
• A Voltage-to-Current Converter (V/I) that converts the output of the ASIC's D/A to a 4 to 20 mA
loop output signal.
8.3 THEORY OF OPERATION

The following description applies to all Model 341 Transmitters since they operate similarly.
8.3.1 Pressure to Frequency Conversion

The process fluid applied to the capacitive pressure sensor changes the value of the sensor's Cs capacitor,
thereby generating a sense frequency (Fs) by the Enhanced Mode Oscillator (EMO) that is directly
proportional to the applied pressure. The EMO uses the reference capacitor (Cr) and the sum of both
capacitors (Cs+r) to generate additional frequencies Fr and Fs+r. One at a time, each of the three
frequencies are gated to the EMO ASIC by digital commands from the Electronics Assembly.
8.3.2 Frequency to Digital Conversion

The first of the three frequencies (Fr, Fs+r, and Fs) generated by the EMO is applied to the ASIC. Two
counters in the ASIC count the time and number of cycles for each frequency. This data is stored and a
command is sent to the EMO to switch to the next frequency. When all three frequencies are stored, the
Microcontroller shifts the data into its serial port.
The Microcontroller uses a specially developed algorithm that cancels the effects of parasitic capacitance
Cp and calculates the true ratio Cr/Cs. When the ratio is equal to one (1), the pressure difference between
the two capacitors is known to be zero. A ratio less than one corresponds to a positive pressure
difference and a ratio greater than one to a negative pressure difference. The ratio is now linearized and
temperature corrected to produce an accurate pressure signal that is sent back to the ASIC for D/A
conversion.

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION UM341-2
8.3.3 D/A Conversion and Current Signal Transmission

The pressure signal received by the Microcontroller is applied through the ASIC to a D/A Converter.
The D/A Converter translates the digitized pressure signal into a Pulse Width Modulated signal whose
pulse width is proportional to the magnitude of the process pressure. The pulses are filtered and applied to
an Operational Amplifier which drives a V/I Converter, whose output is a Darlington transistor pair acting
as a pass transistor, that outputs a standard 4-20 mA current signal to the Network (output loop).
8.3.4 Communication Format

The Model 341 communicates, via the HART protocol, with the portable HART Communicator and any
Primary or Secondary Master connected to the Network.
HART communication uses phase-continuous frequency-shift-keying (FSK) at 1200 bits/sec and

frequencies of 1200 Hz for logic 1 and 2200 Hz for logic 0. HART communications are superimposed
(AC coupled) on the analog 4-20 mA signal. Because the digital signaling is high frequency AC, its DC
average is zero and does not interfere with analog signaling.
A 2-Pole Active Filter connected to the loop input receives HART transmissions. The filter rejects low
frequency analog signaling, and other out-of-band interference, preventing a compromise of the digital
reception. The filtered signal is applied to a Zero Crossing Detector which converts the filtered
information into clean pulses of uniform amplitude before introduction to the Bell 202 Modem.
The Modem receives and processes (e.g., demodulation) the serial FSK signal (Rxa) and outputs the signal
(Rxd) to the Microcontroller where serial to parallel conversion is performed.
In response to the received signal, the Microcontroller outputs a signal (Txd) to the Modem where it is
modulated and fed into the feedback circuit of the V/I Converter for transmission (Txa) over the loop.
