3. APPLICATIONS AND MAIN FEATURES
3.1. The APC... smart pressure transmitters are designed to measure gauge pressure, vacuum pressure and
absolute pressure of gases, vapours and liquids (including corrosive substances).
Differential pressure transmitters type APR… are used to measure liquid levels in closed tanks, with static
pressure up to 25MPa, or 32MPa for special versions and to measure differential pressure across constrictions
such as filters and orifices.
3.2. The transmitters may be fitted with a range of types of process connectors, which enables them to
be used in a variety of conditions such as thick or highly reactive media, high and low temperatures,
etc.
3.3. APC..., APR... transmitters generate a 4...20mA output signal and a digital HART signal in a two-wire
system (current loop). The use of smart electronics enables regulation of the zero point, the measurement
range, damping, radical conversion characteristic and other functions using an Aplisens KAP communicator or
from a PC using a HART/RS232 or HART/USB/ Converter and Aplisens “Raport 2” configuration software.
4. IDENTIFYING MARKS. ORDERING PROCEDURE
4.1. Every transmitter carries a rating plate containing at least the following information: CE mark, manufacturer
name, transmitter type, serial number, pressure range, static pressure limit, output signal, power supply voltage.
Version types and the method of specifying the desired product are described in the Catalogue Cards.
4.2. APC..., APR... transmitters in Ex version or Exd version has additional markings as described in
DTR.APC.APR.ALW.03(ENG) Appendix Exi or Exd.
4.3. The rating plates of APC…, APR… transmitters in versions compliant with the PED pressure
directive contain the notified body number 0062 next to the CE mark, as well as the designations of
certificates number: (H1), maximum allowable pressure PS, test pressure PT, minimum/maximum
allowable temperature TS – see fig. below.
4.4. APC..., APR... transmitters in realization for sea uses have additional information about signs
environmental classes and DNV Certificate No. A-13385.
4.5. The rating plates of APC-2000ALW transmitters in MID version contain MID Part Certificate
Number and information about realization according to EN 12405-1.
