Item Term/ Explanation

abbreviation

1 OPL The OPL (over pressure limit = sensor overload limit) for the measuring device
depends on the lowest-rated element, with regard to pressure, of the selected
components, i.e. the process connection has to be taken into consideration in
addition to the measuring cell. Also observe pressure-temperature dependency. For
the relevant standards and additional notes, see the "Pressure specifications" section
→  44 .
The OPL may only be applied for a limited period of time.

2 MWP The MWP (maximum working pressure) for the sensors depends on the lowest-
rated element, with regard to pressure, of the selected components, i.e. the process
connection has to be taken into consideration in addition to the measuring cell.
Also observe pressure-temperature dependency. For the relevant standards and
additional notes, see the "Pressure specifications" section →  44 .
The MWP may be applied at the device for an unlimited period.
The MWP can also be found on the nameplate.

Example

• Sensor:10 bar (150 psi) • Calibrated/adjusted span: 0 to 5 bar (0 to 75 psi)

• Upper range value (URL) = 10 bar (150 psi) • Lower range value (LRV) = 0 bar (0 psi)
• Upper range value (URV) = 5 bar (75 psi)
Turn down (TD):

URL
TD =

10 bar (150 psi)

TD = = 2
|5 bar (75 psi) - 0 bar (0 psi)|

In this example, the TD is 2:1.

This span is based on the zero point.

3.2 Function

3.2.1 Calculating the pressure

Devices with ceramic process isolating diaphragm (Ceraphire®)

The ceramic sensor is an oil-free sensor, i.e. the process pressure acts directly on the
robust ceramic process isolating diaphragm and causes it to deflect. A pressure-dependent

Endress+Hauser 11
Product description Cerabar PMC11, PMC21, PMP11, PMP21, PMP23

change in capacitance is measured at the electrodes of the ceramic substrate and the
process isolating diaphragm. The measuring range is determined by the thickness of the
ceramic process isolating diaphragm.

Devices with metallic process isolating diaphragm

The process pressure deflects the metal process isolating diaphragm of the sensor and a fill
fluid transfers the pressure to a Wheatstone bridge (semiconductor technology). The
pressure-dependent change in the bridge output voltage is measured and evaluated.

5 Installation

5.1 Mounting dimensions

For dimensions, see the "Mechanical construction" section in the Technical Information.

5.2 Installation conditions

• No moisture may enter the housing when installing or operating the device, or when
establishing the electrical connection.
• For metal M12 plugs: Do not remove the protection cap (only for IP69 and Ex ec version)
of the M12 plug terminal until shortly before the electrical connection.
• Do not clean or touch process isolating diaphragms with hard and/or pointed objects.
• Do not remove the protector on the process isolating diaphragm until just before
installation.
• Always firmly tighten the cable entry.
• Point the cable and connector downwards where possible to prevent moisture from
entering (e.g. rain or condensation water).
• Protect the housing from impact
• The following instruction applies for devices with a gauge pressure sensor and M12 plug
or valve plug:

NOTICE
If a heated device is cooled during the cleaning process (e.g. by cold water), a vacuum
develops for a short time, whereby moisture can penetrate the sensor through the
pressure compensation element (1).
Device could be destroyed!
‣ In this case, mount the device with the pressure compensation element (1) pointing
diagonally downwards where possible or to the side.

‣ When using the measuring device in hazardous areas, installation must comply with
the corresponding national standards and regulations as well as the Safety Instructions.
‣ All explosion protection data are given in separate documentation which is available
upon request. The Ex documentation is supplied as standard with all devices approved
for use in explosion hazardous areas.

7 Operation options

7.1 Plug-on display PHX20 (optional)

No display or other operation facility is required to operate the device. However, devices
with a valve plug can be fitted with the optional local display PHX20.
A 1-line liquid crystal display (LCD) is used. The local display shows measured values, fault
messages and information messages. The device display can be turned in 90° steps.
Depending on the orientation of the device, it is therefore easy to read the measured
values.

7.1.1 Storage conditions

• Use original packaging.
• Storage temperature range: –30 to +80 °C (–22 to +176 °F)

7.1.2 Installation

1. Place seals between the sensor/plug-on display and the plug-on display/connector.
2. Fit the plug-on display (2) between the connector (3) and connector socket (1) of the
sensor.
3. Replace the securing screw (4) with the longer screw included in the delivery.
4. An adhesive label (included in the delivery) with information on the technical unit
can be fixed beneath the LED display.

7.1.4 Electrical connection

Pin assignment
LWARNING
Is the supply voltage switched off?
Risk of electric shock!
‣ Switch off the supply voltage before connecting the device.
• PIN 1: L+ (supply voltage UB)
• PIN 2: L- (0 V)
• PIN 3: Not assigned

Supply voltage
The supply voltage (mostly 24 V DC) must be greater than the sum of the voltage drop Us
at the sensor, the voltage drop of 5 V at the display and other voltage loss Ua (such as
additional evaluation and power loss).
The following therefore applies: Ub = Us + 5 V + Ua

Post-connection check

 Is the device or cable undamaged (visual check)?

 Are all cable glands installed, securely tightened and leak-tight?

 If supply voltage is present, is the device ready for operation and do values appear on the display module?

12.6.3 Pressure specifications

LWARNING
The maximum pressure for the measuring device depends on the lowest-rated
element with regard to pressure.
‣ For pressure specifications, see the "Measuring range" section and "Mechanical
construction" section in the Technical Information.
‣ The Pressure Equipment Directive (2014/68/EU) uses the abbreviation "PS". The
abbreviation "PS" corresponds to the MWP (maximum working pressure) of the
measuring device.
‣ MWP (maximum working pressure): The MWP (maximum working pressure) is
specified on the nameplate. This value is based on a reference temperature of
+20 °C (+68 °F) and may be applied to the device for an unlimited period of time.
Observe the temperature dependency of the MWP.
‣ OPL (over pressure limit): The test pressure corresponds to the over pressure limit of
the sensor and may only be applied temporarily to ensure that the measurement is
within the specifications and no permanent damage develops. In the case of sensor
range and process connections where the over pressure limit (OPL) of the process
connection is smaller than the nominal value of the sensor, the device is set at the
factory, at the very maximum, to the OPL value of the process connection. If you want
to use the entire sensor range, select a process connection with a higher OPL value.
‣ Oxygen applications: In oxygen applications, the values for "pmax and Tmax for oxygen
applications may not be exceeded .
‣ Devices with ceramic process isolating diaphragm: avoid steam hammering! Steam
hammering can cause zero point drifts. Recommendation: Residue (water droplets or
condensation) may remain on the process isolating diaphragm following CIP cleaning
and can result in local steam hammering the next time steam cleaning takes place. In
practice, drying the process isolating diaphragm (e.g. by blowing) has proved to prevent
steam hammering.
