Description

FOXBORO P92
This Universal Instruction Manual is designed to provide the user with a single, concise, easy-touse manual that covers the key points needed for configuration, calibration, installation, and
operation of I/A Series Pressure Transmitters.
It covers all models of single variable pressure transmitters in the I/A Series family, including
absolute, gauge, and differential pressure transmitters, with FoxCom, HART, FOUNDATION
Fieldbus, or analog output electronics.
This universal manual, along with a DVD containing detailed information, is provided free of
charge with every I/A Series Pressure Transmitter, unless the purchaser requests that these two
items be omitted.
For additional detailed information about each model, including dimensional prints, parts lists,
and more detailed instructions, please refer to the standard DVD supplied or the optional paper
instruction book that is available for each model in the line.
♦ Standard Documentation Shipped with every I/A Series Pressure Transmitter
♦ A brief “Getting Started” Pocket-Sized Bulletin
♦ This Universal Instruction Manual
♦ A DVD that contains the complete documentation set for I/A Series Pressure
Transmitters
♦ When Optional Feature K1 is specified in the Model Code when the transmitter is
ordered:
A brief “Getting Started” Pocket-Sized Bulletin only is supplied
Optional Feature K1 is offered for those users who want to omit the documentation
shipped with every transmitter. This may be specified when multiple identical
transmitters are ordered and the user does not want multiple sets of documentation.
Electrical Certification Rating
The electrical safety design code is printed on the data plate as part of the model code. See Item B
on the example shown in Figure 1. See the “Product Safety Specifications” section of the
instruction pertaining to your instrument on the enclosed DVD to identify this code. The type of
protection is also marked on the data plate. See Item D on the example shown in Figure 1.
PED Certification
The PED (Harmonized Pressure Equipment Directive for the European Community)
certification is offered only with transmitters ordered with ATEX Electrical Safety Design Code
selections. Transmitters with PED certification have a CE marking on the data plate that also
carries the PED number 0496.
Pressure Rating
The maximum working pressure (PS or MWP) for the transmitter is printed on the data plate.
See Item F on the example shown in Figure 1.
The data plate of flanged level transmitters and transmitters with flanged pressure seals are
stamped with the MWP if the transmitter pressure range is the limiting factor. It is stamped
“Flange Rate” if the flange rating is the limiting factor. The MWP of the flanged seal is stamped
on the seal data plate. See Figure 2.
Figure 2. Sample Seal Data Plate
When using transmitters with threaded, in-line saddle weld, or sanitary pressure seals, compare
the MWP of the transmitter on the transmitter data plate and the MWP of the seals on the seals
data plates and use the lesser value as the system MWP.
The MWP on the seal data plates may not be given at your process temperature. Use the
following information and industry standards as required to determine the actual pressure limits
for your application.
