INSTALLATION

Mounting:

The transmitter
can be mounted
on a 35 mm DIN
rail or with #8 or
#10 screws using
the 4 mounting
holes provided.
Torque limits on
the mounting
holes provided is
6 inch-pounds.
(see Figure 3)

Electrical Wiring:

1. The use of sheilded cable is recommended for

optimum performance. Connect the shield to the
guard terminal on the reading instrument (meter,
etc.) if available or to ground.

2. Remove the terminal block on the front of the

transmitter.

3. Available electrical versions are:

a.) CURRENT 4-20mA; black terminal block.
b.) VOLTAGE 0-5Vdc/0-10Vdc; green terminal
block.

WARNING! READ

BEFORE INSTALLATION

1. GENERAL:

A failure resulting in injury or damage may be
caused by excessive overpressure, excessive
vibration or pressure pulsation, excessive
instrument temperature, corrosion of the pres-
sure containing parts, or other misuse. Con-
sult Ashcroft Inc., Stratford, Connecticut, USA
before installing if there are any questions or
concerns.

2. OVERPRESSURE:

Pressure spikes in excess of the rated overpres-
sure capability of the transducer may cause irre-
versible electrical and/or mechanical damage to
the pressure measuring and containing ele-
ments.

3. STATIC ELECTRICAL CHARGES:

Any electrical device may be susceptible to dam-
age when exposed to static electrical charges.
To avoid damage to the transducer the
operator/installer should follow proper ESD
(electrostatic discharge) protection procedures
before handling the pressure transducer.

DESCRIPTION

The Ashcroft

®

Model CXLdp is a low differential

pressure transmitter to be used on clean, dry,
non-corrosive gases. It is available in two accuracy
classes and its performance is traceable to the
U. S. National Institute of Standards and Technol-
ogy (NIST). The 8 or 4 located in the third position
of the product code distinguishes a 0.8% from a
0.4% accuracy transmitter. Both unidirectional
(e.g. 0 to +1.0 IW) or bi-directional (e.g. ±2.0 IW)
models are available. A green LED located on the
front of the transmitter indicates power and opera-
tional status. The LED light intensity increases as
pressure increases.

SPECIFICATIONS

Accuracy: (2) options,specified at time of order.

• ±0.8% span

- (±0.128mA for 4-20mA output units)
- (±0.08V for 0-10Vdc output units)

or
• ±0.4% Span

- (±0.064mA for 4-20mA units)
- (±0.04V for 0-10Vdc output units)

Output Signal: Specified at time of order.

• 4-20ma (For symmetric bidirectional ranges

0IW= 12mA

or
• 0-10Vdc; 0-5Vdc User selectable option (For

symmetric bidirectional ranges 0IW= 5 or
2.5Vdc respectively).

Supply Voltage:

• 4-20mA: 12-36 Vdc (no regulation required)

(see Figure 1)

or
• 0-10Vdc (0-5Vdc User selectable option):

14-36 Vdc or 24 Vac (+/- 20%)

• Supply Current: 6mA (4.5mA for 5Vdc

output option)

plied as standard with 0-10 V output, to con-
vert to 0-5 V output see following
instructions.

- 0-10 Vdc Output: Product is supplied as

standard with 0-10 V output, see instruction
below to access the Voltage Output jumper.

- 0-5 Vdc Output: See below for proper

jumper selection. To convert the unit from a
0-10 V output to a 0-5 V output unit note the
following. Access the jumper by simultane-
ously pushing both housing tabs away from
the housing, see drawings under “General
Dimensions” for
details. Change
jumper (orange)
into position as
shown below,
carefully reattach
housing cover.
When finished
mark check box
on front label in-
dicating that the
unit now provides
a 0 – 5Vdc output.
