4.1 Precautions

Vertical pipe mounting

Before installing the transmitter, read the cautionary

notes in Section 2.4, Selecting the Installation
Location. For additional information on the ambient
conditions allowed at the installation location, refer to
Subsection 10.1 Standard Specifications.

IMPORTANT
When welding piping during construction, take
care not to allow welding currents to flow
through the transmitter.
Do not step on this instrument after installation.

4.2 Mounting
The distance between the impulse piping connection
ports is usually 54 mm (Figure 4.2.1). By changing
the orientation of the process connector, the
dimension can be changed 51 mm or 57 mm.
The transmitter is shipped with the process connection, according to the ordering specifications. To
change the orientation of the process connections,
refer to Section 4.3.
The transmitter can be mounted on a nominal 50
mm (2-inch) pipe using the mounting bracket
supplied, as shown in Figure 4.2.2 and 4.2.3. The
transmitter can be mounted on either a horizontal or
a vertical pipe.
When mounting the bracket on the transmitter,
tighten the (four) bolts that hold the transmitter with
a torque of approximately 39 Nm {4kgfm}.

The transmitter is shipped with the process connection

specified at the time of ordering. To make a change
such as modifying the drain (vent) plug(s) attached to
the upside of the cover flange on shipment to be
attached to the downside follow the procedure below.

To begin, use a wrench to slowly and gently unscrew

the drain (vent) plug(s). Then, remove and remount
them on the opposite side. Wrap sealing tape around
the drain (vent) plug threads (*1 in the figure below),
and apply a lubricant to the threads of the drain (vent)
screw(s) (*2 below) to screw it (them) in. To tighten
the drain (vent) plugs, apply a torque of 34 to 39 Nm
{3.5 to 4 kgfm}. Tighten the process connector bolts
uniformly to a torque of 39 to 49 Nm {4 to 5 kgfm}.

4.4 Swapping the High/Lowpressure Side Connection

4.4.2 Using the BRAIN TERMINAL BT200

This method is applicable only to the Model EJA110AL, EJA110A-M, EJA110A-H, EJA120A-E,
EJA130A-M and EJA130A-H.

4.4.1 Rotating Pressure-detector Section

180

With a BRAIN TERMINAL, you can change which

process connection is used as the high-pressure side
without mechanically rotating the pressure-detector
section 180 as described in Subsection 4.4.1. To
change, call parameter D45: H/L SWAP and select
REVERSE (right side: low pressure; left side: high
pressure) or select NORMAL to change back to normal
(right side: high pressure; left side: low pressure).

This procedure can be applied only to a transmitter

with a vertical impulse piping type.
The procedure below can be used to turn the pressuredetector assembly 180. Perform this operation in a
maintenance shop with the necessary tools laid out and
ready for use, and then install the transmitter in the
field after making the change.
1) Use a Allen wrench (JIS B4648, nominal 5 mm) to
remove the two Allen screws at the joint between
the pressure-detector section and transmitter section.
2) Leaving the transmitter section in position, rotate
the pressure-detector section 180.
3) Tighten the two Allen screws to fix the pressuredetector section and transmitter section together (at
a torque of 5 Nm).

IMPORTANT
Do not rotate the pressure-detector section

Since the H/L label plate on the capsule assembly will remain unchanged even if this function is
used, use this function only if you cannot switch
the impulse piping. If the D45: H/L SWAP
setting is changed, the input/output relationship
is reversed as shown in Figure 4.5; be sure this
is understood by all. Whenever possible, use
the procedure in Subsection 4.4.1.

4.5 Rotating Transmitter Section

4.6 Changing the Direction of

Integral Indicator

The DPharp transmitter section can be rotated in 90

segments.

IMPORTANT

1) Remove the two Allen screws that fasten the

transmitter section and capsule assembly, using the
Allen wrench.
2) Rotate the transmitter section slowly in 90 segments.
3) Tighten the two Allen screws to a torque of 5 Nm.

Always turn OFF power, release pressure and

remove a transmitter to non-hazardous area
before disassembling and reassembling an
indicator.
An integral indicator can be installed in the following
three directions. Follow the instructions in section 9.4
for removing and attaching the integral indicator.

IMPORTANT
Do not rotate the transmitter section more than
180.
