MicroTransEQ Operation & Maintenance Manual

Paragon Controls Incorporated 1 Revision Level 012 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1. DESCRIPTION The MicroTransEQ Signal Processor employs current state-of-the-art digital microprocessor technology to produce highly stable and accurate differential pressure and air flow measurements. The MicroTransEQ is factory configured and calibrated to the exact specification determined at time of order. Simple field configuration of engineering units, operating range, process noise filtering, alarm set points, etc., are performed via password protected intuitive menus that are accessed through the integral six button touch pad. Device monitoring and configuration can also be performed by a building management system through a LonWorks®, BACnet®-MS/TP Master, or Modbus® Slave communication network. Optional features include AutoZero; High/Low Remote Alarms; Temperature Compensation; and LonWorks®, BACnet®-MS/TP Master, and Modbus® Slave communication. 1.2. BASIC OPERATION The transducer receives a differential pressure signal from the pressure or flow sensing element. This signal is scaled and linearized before being displayed and transmitted out as a 4-20mA, 0-5VDC, or 0- 10VDC signal. The AutoZero option detects and corrects any zero offset caused by large ambient temperature changes. The Temperature Compensation option compensates the flow and velocity signal for density changes caused by variations in the process air temperature. An external temperature transmitter or input signal from the building management system is required. 1.3. SPECIFICATIONS 1.3.1. Power Supply 20 to 28 VAC/DC 1.3.2. Power Consumption Standard Unit: 216mA at 24VAC 150mA at 24VDC Full Options: 250mA at 24VAC 175mA at 24VDC 1.3.3. Accuracy ±0.25% full scale (Standard) ±0.10% full scale (Optional) 1.3.4. Temperature Input Options 0-10VDC 4-20mA 1.3.5. Process Output Options 0-5VDC 0-10VDC 4-20mA (700Ω maximum load)

Electrical Connections Before any electrical connections are made, ensure the POWER SWITCH is in the OFF position. 1.4.2. Static Electricity The circuit board contains components which are susceptible to damage caused by static electrical discharge. Should it be necessary to remove the circuit board from the enclosure, appropriate precautions must first be taken to ensure that the operator and the circuit board are at the same electrical potential.
