Specications - Installation and Operating Instructions
Bulletin A-30
The Series 636 Fixed Range Pressure Transmitter converts liquid, gas or vapor
pressure into a 4-20 mA DC or 1-5 VDC (636LP) output signal. All 316 stainless steel
construction makes it compatible with most corrosive media. This explosion-proof
control is FM approved for use in hazardous locations and it meets NACE Standards
for offshore applications. It is also weatherproof, capable of resisting a direct water
spray. With these quality features and ±0.3% full-scale accuracy, the Series 636 is an
exceptional value.
The design is based on a sensitive piezoresistive sensing element consisting of four
diffused strain gages. They form a bridge circuit which varies its resistance when
stressed by the process pressure. Small size and light weight eliminate the need for
complicated mounting hardware and mechanical supports. With simple in-line wiring,
installation is quick and inexpensive. Slim prole enables mounting in spaces too tight
for many other transmitters.

INSTALLATION
Care should be taken during installation to prevent condensate accumulation in the
conduit compartment or sediment accumulation in the diaphragm chamber. See
Figure 2 for suggested piping arrangements in several typical situations. Use pipe joint
compound or Teon® thread tape to assure a leak-proof process connection.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
An external power supply delivering 12-30 VDC with a minimum current capability of
40 mA DC (per transmitter) or 8-14 VDC if using model 636LP, must be used to power
the control loop. See Figure 3.
To comply with good electrical practice, it is recommended that the transmitter be
grounded. This can be accomplished through either the green wire or the transmitter
case. To avoid a “ground loop” condition, DO NOT use both. The shield/drain wire is
not connected to the case. This shield/drain is normally tired to ground at the receiver
for optimal noise rejection.
The range of appropriate loop resistance, including the receiver load resistance for
the DC power supply being used is limited to that expressed by the graph in Figure 4.
Loop Resistance: 900 Ω max. @ 30 V
MAINTENANCE
After nal installation of the Series 636 Fixed Range Pressure Transmitter, no routine
maintenance is necessary. These transmitters are not eld serviceable and should be
returned to the factory, freight prepaid, if repair is needed. Be sure to include a clear
description of the problem plus any applications information available.
