266 Models - HART

Mounting
General
Study these installation instructions carefully before proceeding. Failure to observe the warnings and instructions may cause a
malfunction or personal hazard.
Before installing the transmitter, check whether the device design meets the requirements of the measuring point from a
measurement technology and safety point of view.
This applies in respect of the:
Explosion protection certification
Measuring range
Gauge pressure stability
Temperature
Operating voltage
The suitability of the materials must be checked as regards their resistance to the media. This applies in respect of the:
Gasket
Process connection, isolating diaphragm, etc.
In addition, the relevant directives, regulations, standards, and accident prevention regulations must be observed (e.g., VDE/VDI
3512, DIN 19210, VBG, Elex V, etc.).
Measurement accuracy is largely dependent on correct installation of the pressure transmitter and, if applicable, the associated
measuring pipe(s). As far as possible, the measuring setup should be free from critical ambient conditions such as large
variations in temperature, vibrations, or shocks.
Important
If unfavorable ambient conditions cannot be avoided for reasons relating to building structure, measurement technology, or other issues, the measurement
quality may be affected. If a remote seal with capillary tube is installed on the transmitter, the additional operating instructions for remote seals and the related
data sheets must be observed.

IP protection & designation

The housings for 266 transmitters are certified as conforming to protection type IP66 / IP67 (according tonIEC 60529) or NEMA 4X
(according to NEMA 250).
The first number indicates the type of protection the integrated electronics have against the entry of foreign bodies, including dust.
6 means that the housing is dust-proof (i.e., no ingress of dust). The second number indicates the type of protection the
integrated electronics have against the entry of water.
6 means that the housing is protected against water; specifically, powerful jets of water under standardized conditions.
7 means that the housing is protected against water; specifically, against the effects of temporary immersion in water under
standardized water pressure and temporal conditions.
Mounting the transmitter
Transmitter factory configuration consideration
The 266 pressure transmitter in your hands has been factory calibrated to reflect the published declared performance specification;
no further calibration is required in normal condition.
ABB typically configures 266 pressure transmitters according to the user requirements. A typical configuration includes:
TAG number
Calibrated span
Output linearization
LCD display configuration

Devices with PS <200 bar

Devices with a permissible pressure PS <200 bar correspond
to article 3 paragraph (3). They have not been subject to a
conformity validation. These instruments were designed and
manufactured acc. to SEP Sound Engineering Practices.
Mounting a Differential Pressure sensor transmitter
(266DS/ 266MS /266PS / 266DR / 266PR / 266MR)
The pressure transmitter models 266DS, 266MS and 266PS
can be mounted directly on the manifold. A mounting bracket
for wall or pipe mounting (2 pipe) is also available as an
accessory. For models 266DR, 266PR and 266MR always
mounting brackets should be used. Ideally, the pressure
transmitter should be mounted in a vertical position to prevent
subsequent zero shifts.
Important
If the transmitter is installed inclined with respect to the vertical, the
filling liquid exerts hydrostatic pressure on the measuring
diaphragm, resulting in a zero shift. In such an event, the zero point
can be corrected via the zero push-button or via the set PV to
zero command. Please refer to the [configuration section] for
further details. For transmitters without diaphragm seals, please
read the following considerations on the Vent/Drain.

Attention - Potential damage to transmitter

In case of a High Static differential pressure transmitter
(266DSH.x.H) please always open the equalization valve of the
manifold (if installed) before applying pressure to the transmitter.
High Static pressure can damage the sensor causing a zero shift
and a serious decrease of the total performance in terms of
accuracy. In this case, please perform a full sensor trim.

It is important to mount the transmitter and to lay the process

piping so that gas bubbles, when measuring liquids, or
condensate when measuring gases, will flow back to the
process and not enter the transmitter measuring chamber.
Optional Vent/drain valves (code V1/V2/V3) on the transmitter
are located on the sensor flanges.
The transmitter has to be positioned so that these drain/vent
valves will be located higher than the taps on liquid service in
order to allow the venting of entrapped gas or below the taps
on gas service in order to allow the air to vent off or
condensate to drain off.
For safety reasons, take care of the drain/vent valves position
so that when the process fluid is removed during the drain/
vent operation it is directed down and away from technicians.
It is recommended to mount the transmitter to prevent this
possible source of damage for unskilled operators.

Figure 6: Drain/vent valves configuration (respectively V1, V2, V3)

Important
In case of a High Static differential pressure transmitter, please
notice that the Vent/Drain valves can be configured only on the process axis (V1).

Transmitter housing rotation

To improve field access to the wiring or the visibility of the
optional LCD meter, the transmitter housing may be rotated
through 360 and fixed in any position. A stop prevents the
housing from being turned too far.
In order to proceed with housing rotation, the housing stop
tang-screw has to be unscrewed by approximately 1 rotation
(do not pull it out) and, once the desired position has been
reached, retightened.

Figure 22: Housing rotation

Integral Display Rotation

In case an optional integral display meter is installed, it is
possible to mount the display in four different positions rotated
clockwise or counterclockwise with 90 steps.
To rotate the LCD, simply open the windowed cover
(Hazardous area prescriptions must be respected), pull-out the
display housing from the communication board.. Reposition
the LCD connector according to the new desired position.
Push back the LCD module on the communication board. Be
sure that the 4 plastic fixing locks are properly in place.

Impulse piping connection for standard instruments

In order for the pipes to be laid correctly, the following points
must be observed:
The measuring pipes must be as short as possible and free
from sharp bends.
Lay the impulse piping in such a way that no deposits can
accumulate in them. Gradients should not be less than approx.
8 % (ascending or descending).
The measuring pipes should be blown through with
compressed air or, better yet, flushed through with the
measuring medium before connection.
Where a fluid/vaporous measuring medium is being used, the
liquid in both measuring pipes must be at the same level. If a
separating liquid is being used, both measuring pipes must be
filled to the same level (266Dx and 266Mx).
Although it is not absolutely necessary to use balancing
vessels with vaporous measuring media, measures must be
taken to prevent steam entering the measuring chambers of
the measuring equipment (266Dx and 266Mx).
It may be necessary to use condensate vessels, etc., with
small spans and vaporous measuring media (266Dx and 266Mx).
If using condensate vessels (steam measurement), you
should ensure that the vessels are at the same elevation in the
differential pressure piping (266Dx and 266Mx).
As far as possible, keep both impulse lines at the same
temperature (266Dx and 266Mx).
Completely depressurize the impulse lines if the medium is a
fluid.
Lay the impulse lines in such a way that gas bubbles (when
measuring fluids) or condensate (when measuring gases) can
flow back into the process line.
Ensure that the impulse lines are connected correctly (High
and Low pressure sides connected to measuring equipment,
seals, etc.).
Make sure the connection is tight.
Lay the impulse line in such a way that prevents the medium
from being blown out over the measuring equipment.
Caution
Process leaks may cause harm or result in death.
Install and tighten process connectors and all accessories (including
manifolds) before applying pressure. In case of toxic or otherwise
dangerous process fluid, take any precautions as recommended in
the relevant Material Safety Data Sheet when draining or venting.
Use only a 12 mm (15/32 ) hexagonal spanner to tighten the
bracket bolts.

22 OI/266/HART-EN Rev. E | 2600T Series Pressure transmitters

Process connections considerations

266 differential pressure transmitter process connections on
the transmitter flange are 1/4 - 18 NPT, with a centers distance
of 54mm (2.13in) between the connections. The process
connections on the transmitter flange are on centers to allow
direct mounting to a three-valve or five-valve manifold.
Flange adapter unions with 1/2 - 14 NPT connections are
available as an option. Rotate one or both of the flange
adapters to attain connection centers of 51mm (2.01in), 54mm
(2.13in) or 57mm (2.24in).
To install adapters, perform the following procedure:
Position the adapters with the O-ring in place.
Bolt the adapters to the transmitter flange using the bolts
supplied.
Tighten the bolts to a torque value of 25Nm (stainless steel
bolts) or 15Nm (for Stainless steel NACE bolts).
Deviations for models 266Mx, 266Rx and for PTFE O-rings:
pretightening hand-tight. Pretightening to 10 Nm. Final
tightening to 50 Nm.
For model 266PS, 266VS and 266RS, it is only possible to
have one adapter, with low pressure side flange without
process connection and drain/vent valve.
For high static model (266DSH.x.H) tighten the bolts to a
torque value of 40 Nm (regardless of the material of the bolts
used). In case of PTFE O-rings, pretightening to 10 Nm and
final tightening to 50 Nm.

Figure 24: Flange adapter

Kynar inserts connection

When connecting Pressure transmitters equipped with kynar
inserts tighten the bolts to 15 Nm max.
Screw torques for models 266MS and 266RS with Kynar
inserts
The following procedures apply to process flange screws and
nuts:
Pretightening to 2 Nm (working crosswise).
Pretightening to 10 Nm (working crosswise) and then tightening
by a tightening angle of 180, working in two stages of 90 for
each screw, and working crosswise.

Transmitter wiring
Warning - General risks
Observe the applicable regulations governing electrical installation. Connections must only be established in a dead-voltage state. Since the transmitter has
no switch-off elements, overvoltage protection devices, lightning protection, and voltage separation capacity must be provided at the plant (overvoltage/
lightning protection is optional). Check that the existing operating voltage corresponds to the voltage indicated on the name plate.
The same lines are used for both the power supply and output signal. In case the surge protection option is present and the transmitter is installed in a
Hazardous area, the transmitter has to be power supplied from a voltage source isolated from mains (galvanic separation).
Furthermore the potential equalization for the entire powering cable must be guaranteed since the intrinsic safety circuit of the transmitter is grounded.

shock.

Failure to comply with this warning can result in fire or explosion.

Cable connection
Depending on the design supplied, the electrical connection is established via a cable entry, M20 x 1.5 or 1/2-14 NPT thread, or
Han 8D plug (8U) (PROFIBUS PA and FOUNDATION Fieldbus: M12 x 1 or 7/8 plug). The screw terminals are suitable for wire
cross sections of up to 2.5 mm2 (AWG 14).

28 OI/266/HART-EN Rev. E | 2600T Series Pressure transmitters

Important
With Category 3 transmitters for use in Zone 2, a qualified cable gland for this type of protection must be installed by the customer (see the section
Hazardous Area Consideration). An M20 x 1.5 threads is located in the electronics housing for this purpose.
For transmitters with Flameproof enclosure (Ex d) type of protection, the housing cover must be secured using the locking screw.
The screw plug that may have been supplied with the transmitter must be sealed at the plant using Molykote DX.
The installer assumes responsibility for any other type of sealing medium used.
At this point, we wish to draw your attention to the fact that increased force will be required to unscrew the housing cover after an interval of several
weeks.
This is not caused by the threads, but instead is due solely to the type of gasket.

Figure 35: HART transmitter connection scheme

HART hand-held communicator may be connected at any wiring termination point in the loop, providing the minimum resistance
is 250 ohm. If this is less than 250 ohm, additional resistance should be added to allow communications. The handheld terminal
is connected between the resistor and transmitter, not between the resistor and power source.
Supply requirement
For signal/power connection use twisted, stranded pairs of wiring no 18 to 22 AWG / 0.8 to 0.35mm2 up to 5,000 feet (1500
meters). Longer loops require larger wire. If a shielded wire is used, the shield should be grounded only at one end, not both
ends. In case of wiring at transmitter end, use the terminal located inside the housing marked with the appropriate sign.
The 4 to 20 mA dc output signal and the dc power supply to the transmitter are carried from the same pairs of wires. The supply
voltage at the transmitter terminals must be between the limits of 10,5 and 42V dc.
For Ex ia and intrinsically safe (FM, CSA and SAA) approval power supply must not exceed 30 Vdc. In some countries the
maximum power supply voltage is limited to a lower value. For maximum power supply voltage please refer to the top
identification plate of the transmitter.

Wiring procedure
Follow these steps to wire the transmitter:
Remove the temporary plastic cap from one of the two electrical connection ports located at both sides in the upper part of
the transmitter housing.
These connection ports may have a 1/2 inch internal NPT or M20 threads. Various adaptors and bushings can be fitted to
these threads to comply with plant wiring (conduit) standards.
Remove the housing cover of the field terminals side. See the indication on the label on top of the housing. In an ExplosionProof/Flame-Proof installation, do not remove the transmitter covers when power is applied to the unit.
Run the cable through the cable gland and the open port.
Connect the positive lead to the + terminal, and the negative lead to the terminal.
Plug and seal the electrical ports. Make sure that when the installation has been completed, the electrical ports are properly
sealed against entry of rain and/or corrosive vapors and gases.
Warning - General risks
Cable, cable gland and unused port plug must be in accordance with the intended type of protection (e.g. intrinsically safe, explosion proof, etc.) and
degree of protection (e.g. IP6x according to IEC EN 60529 or NEMA 4x). See also the addendum for EX SAFETY ASPECTS AND IP PROTECTION. In
particular, for explosion proof installation, remove the red temporary plastic cap and plug the unused opening with a plug certified for explosion
containment

If applicable, install wiring with a drip loop. Arrange the drip loop so the bottom is lower than the conduit connections and the
transmitter housing.
Put back the housing cover, turn it to seat O-ring into the housing and then continue to hand tighten until the cover contacts
the housing metal-to-metal. In Ex-d (Explosion Proof) installation, lock the cover rotation by turning the set nut (use the 2mm
Allen key supplied with the instrument).

30 OI/266/HART-EN Rev. E | 2600T Series Pressure transmitters

Assembling and connecting the socket connector

The socket connector for connecting the cable is supplied unassembled as an accessory for the transmitter.
The contacts (2) are crimped or soldered onto the cable ends (wire cross section of 0.75 1 mm2 (AWG 18 AWG 17)),
from which approx. 1.5 2 cm (0.59 0.79 inch) of the sleeve and approx. 8 mm (0.32 inch) of the insulation have been
stripped; they are then inserted into the socket (1) from the rear.
Slide the set screw (6), clamping ring (5), gasket (4), and housing (3) onto the cable
in the order indicated before assembly
(you may have to adjust the gasket (4) to fit the cable diameter).
Important
Before you press the contacts completely into the socket, check the connection points again. Incorrectly inserted contacts can be removed by using a
press-out tool (part no.: 0949 813), or a standard ballpoint pen as a makeshift tool. Please observe the connection diagram included with the plug.

Figure 37: Socket connector components

Grounding
A terminal is available on both the outside of the housing and in the plug for grounding (PE) the transmitter. Both terminals are
electrically connected to one another.
Protective Grounding
All transmitters are supplied with an external ground connection
for protective grounding.
Wire this ground connection to a suitable earth ground. For a
transmitter measuring loop an earth ground should maintain a
resistance of 5 ohms or less.
Use a heavy duty conductor, at least 15 AWG / 1,6 mm2 .
Warning - General risks
A protective grounding connection is absolutely necessary to insure
personnel protection, to protect against surge (in case of installation
of this option) and to prevent explosions in potentially explosive
environment.

Figure 38: Ground connection on transmitter housing

Integrated lightning protection (optional)

The transmitter housing must be connected using the grounding terminal (PA), by means of a short connection with the equipotential
bonding. Equipotential bonding minimum diameter of 4 mm2 (AWG 12) is required throughout the cable routing area.
In the case of transmitters with integrated lightning protection (optional), the intrinsically safe circuit is connected to the equipotential
bonding for safety reasons.
Important
Test voltage withstand capability can no longer be ensured when this protective circuit is used.

2600T Series Pressure transmitters | OI/266/HART-EN Rev. E 31

266 Models - HART

Commissioning
Once the transmitter has been installed, it is put into operation by switching on the operating voltage.
Check the following before switching on the operating voltage:
Process connections
Electrical connection
The impulse line/s and the measuring chamber of the measuring equipment must be completely filled with the measuring
medium.
The transmitter can then be put into operation. To do this, the shut-off valves must be actuated in the following sequence (in the
default setting, all valves are closed).
(Differential models) 266Dx or 266Mx
Open the shut-off valves on the pressure tap connection (if present).
Open the pressure equalization valve of the manifold.
Open the positive shut-off valve (on the manifold)
Open the negative shut-off valve (on the manifold)
Close the pressure equalization valve.
To put the transmitter out of operation, carry out the steps in reverse order.
(Gauge & Absolute models) 266Gx, 266Ax, 266Hx, 266Nx, 266Px, 266Vx, 266Rx
Open the shut-off valve on the pressure tap connection (if present).
Open the positive shut-off valve.
To put the transmitter out of operation, carry out the steps in reverse order.
Important
For the absolute pressure transmitters model 266AS, 266NS, 266RS or 266VS with sensor range C, F or G, please be aware that the measuring equipment
will have been overloaded by the atmospheric pressure due to the long periods of transport and storage involved.
For this reason, you will need to allow a starting time of approx. 30 minutes for 266Vx, 266Rx and 266Nx models and approx. 3 hours for 266Ax models
after commissioning, until the sensor has stabilized to such an extent that the specified accuracy can be maintained.
If, when using intrinsically safe transmitters, an ammeter is connected to the output circuit or a modem is connected in parallel while there is a risk of
explosion, the sums of the capacitances and inductances of all circuits, including the transmitter (see EC-type-examination certificate) must be equal to or
less than the permissible capacitances and inductances of the intrinsically safe signal circuit (see EC-type-examination certificate for the supply unit).
Only passive or explosion-proof devices or indicators may be connected.
If the output signal stabilizes only slowly, it is likely that a large damping time constant has been set on the transmitter.

Analogue and HART Communication models

If the pressure applied falls within the values indicated on the name plate, the output current will be between 4 and 20 mA.
If the pressure applied falls outside the set range, the output current will be between 3.5 mA and 4 mA if the range is undershot
or between 20 mA and 22.5 mA if the range is overshot (depending on the respective configuration).
Standard setting for normal operation
3.8 mA / 20.5 mA
In order to prevent errors in flow rate measurements (266Dx and 266Mx) in the lower range, it is possible to set a cut off point
and/or a lin./sq. root transition point via the optional LCD integral displays or via the graphical user interface (DTM).
Unless otherwise specified, the lin./sq. root transition point is set to 5% and the cutoff to 6% of the flow rate end value by the
manufacturer; A current that is < 4 mA or > 20 mA may also indicate that the microprocessor has detected an internal error. In this
case the alarm output can be configured both via the local LCD or via an external Hart hand held terminal (ABB 691HT, DHH801
etc) or via a DTM based configuration tool (Asset Vision).
Standard setting for error detection (alarm)
21 mA
The graphical user interface (DTM) or the LCD integral display
(if installed) can be used to diagnose the error.
32 OI/266/HART-EN Rev. E | 2600T Series Pressure transmitters

Important
A brief interruption in the power supply results in initialization of the
electronics (program restarts).

Write Protection
Write protection prevents the configuration data from being
overwritten by unauthorized users. If write protection is enabled,
the Z and S buttons are disabled. However, it is still possible
to read out the configuration data using the graphical user
interface (DTM) or another, similar communication tool. The
control unit may be leaded if required.
Write protection is activated as follows (also refer to the symbols
on the plate):
First, use a suitable screwdriver to press the switch down fully.
Then turn the switch clockwise by 90.
Important
To deactivate the switch, push it down slightly and then turn
counterclockwise by 90.
Figure 39: Write-protection pushbutton

Correcting the lower range value / zero shift

During installation of the transmitter, transmitter, zero shifts caused by mounting (e.g., a slightly oblique mounting position due to a
remote seal, etc.) may occur; these must be corrected.
Important
The transmitter must have reached its operating temperature (approx. 5 min. after startup, if the transmitter has already reached the ambient temperature)
in order to perform zero shift correction. The correction must be made at dp (or p) = 0.

Important
The button unit must be available for this purpose.
Operating the buttons using a magnetic screwdriver is not permitted because it may generate some interferences with the magnetic pickup system.

Set lower range value

Apply the lower range value pressure (4 mA) from the process or from a pressure transducer. The pressure must be stable and
applied with a high level of accuracy << 0.05 % (observing the set damping value).
Press the Z button on the pressure transmitter for few seconds. The output signal will be is set to 4 mA. The span will remain
unchanged.
Important
A lower range value set using this method will be stored in the non-volatile memory < 25 s (HART), when the Z button is pressed

Correct the zero shift

The zero shift caused by the installation may be cancelled in different ways:
Pressing the Z button (under the identification plate on the top of the transmitter) for few seconds will cause the output to go at 4 mA.
It is also possible to align the digital PV value to zero.
To accomplish it raise the dip sw. 3 on the communication board to the up (1) position and press the external zero button.
This functionality will align the PV digital value to 0 and if the calibrated span it is zero based, the output will go at 4 mA.
Using the optional LCD keypad (Configuration of the pressure transmitter using the integral LCD HMI for further information).
Important
The procedure described in 1 above does not affect the physical pressure shown; it only corrects the analog output signal.
For this reason, the analog output signal may differ from the physical pressure (PV Value) shown on the digital display or the communication tool. To avoid
this discrepancy, correct the zero position shift (zero shift) via the PV-BIAS/OFF-SET functionality described in point 2 above.

Configuration types
Pressure transmitters can be configured as follows:
Configuration of the parameters for the lower and upper range values (via Zero and Span pushbuttons), without an integral LCD HMI.
Configuration of the pressure transmitter using the integral LCD HMI (menu-controlled)
Configuration with a handheld terminal
Configuration using a PC/laptop via the graphical user interface (DTM)
Configuring the transmitter without an integral LCD HMI
The lower range value and span parameters can be set directly on the transmitter using the External pushbuttons.
The transmitter has been calibrated by the manufacturer based on the order information. The tag plate contains information on the
lower range value and upper range value set. In general, the following applies:
The first pressure value (e.g., 0 mbar) is always assigned to the 4 mA signal (or 0%), while the second pressure value (e.g., 400
mbar) is always assigned to the 20 mA signal (or 100%). To change the transmitter ranging apply the pressure for the lower range
value and upper range value to the measuring equipment. Make sure that the measuring limits are not exceeded.

This menu allows the complete configuration of the analogue output in case of saturation and alarm. The output signal will range
from 4 to 20 mA in case the process variable is within the calibrated span limits. In case the process variable (PV) will be below
the LRV (lower range value) the signal will be driven to the Low Saturation limit (which is configurable), in case the PV will be
above the URV (upper range value) the signal will be driven to the High Saturation limit (which is configurable too).
In case the transmitter diagnostic detects a failure the signal will be driven upscale or downscale according to the user
preferences (the failure direction is selected via the dip switch 4 and 5 on the communication board). The exact value to which the
signal will be driven can be configured via the above menu (Alarm limits). As a convention the Low Alarm limit must be < the Low
Saturation limit and the High Alarm limit must be > than the High Saturation limit.

Damping (DAMPING)
Pressure transmitter output signals that are noisy as a result of the process can be smoothed (damped) electrically.
The additional time constant can be set between 0 s and 60 s in increments of 0.0001 s. Damping does not affect the value
shown on the digital display as a physical unit. It only affects the parameters derived from this, such as the analog output current,
free process variable, input signal for the controller, and so on.
The damping adjustment can be performed in different ways:
Via the the local HMI:

Enter the menu: > Device Setup > Output Scaling > Damping

Set the damping to the desired value.
Via the Asset Vision Basic Software:

See Asset Vision Software Operating Instructions
Via the Hand Held Terminal

See relevant operating instruction
Transfer function
The 266 Pressure Transmitter provides a selection of output functions, as follows:
Linear for differential, gauge and absolute pressure or level measurements
Sq. Root (x) for flow measurements using restriction type primary element, like orifice plate, integral orifice, Venturi or Dall tube
and similar.
Sq. Root (x3) for open channel flow measurements using rectangular or trapezoidal weir
Sq. Root (x5) for open channel flow measurements using V-notch (triangular) weir.
Bidirectional Flow
Custom linearization table
Cylindrical lying tank
Spherical tank
These output functions can be activated using a Configuration Tool (Digital LCD Integral Display, Hand Held Communicator or PC
based software as Asset Vision Basic). The transfer function can be applied to the analog signal 4 to 20 mA only or also to the
indication (in engineering units).vant operating instruction
Transfer functions description
Linear
Using this function, the relationship between the input
(measured value), expressed in % of the calibrated span and
the output is linear (i.e.: at 0% input, corresponds 0% output 4mA, at 100% input corresponds 100% output - 20mA).
No further settings are possible here.

Figure 45: Linear output

Square root
Using the Square Root function, the output (in % of the span) is
proportional to the square root of the input signal in percentage
of the calibrated span (i.e.: the instrument gives an analog
output proportional to the rate of flow).
The possibility to have the full Square Root function is given.
To avoid the extremely high gain error with the input approaching
zero, the transmitter output is linear with the input up with a
slope of 1 up to 0.5% and then still linear with the appropriated
slope to a programmable percentage value between 10 % and
20%. This option is offer in order to ensure a more stable output
when the signal is close to zero avoiding errors due to the high
gain of the square root.
To neglect the values with the input approaching zero, the
transmitter output is zero with the input up to a programmable
percentage value between 0 % and 20%. This option is offer in
order to ensure a more stable flow measure. This option is

Figure 46: Square-Root transfer functions

Square root to the 3rd power

The x3 Square root Transfer function can be used for open channel (see figures on the right) flow measurement using ISO 1438
rectangular weirs (Hamilton Smith, Kindsvater-Carter, Rehbock formulas) or trapezoidal weirs (Cippoletti formulas) and ISO 1438
Venturi flumes. In these types of devices the relationship between the flow and the developed head h (the differential pressure
measured by the transmitter) is proportional to h3/2 or square root of h3. Other types of Venturi or Parshall flume do not follow this
relationship.
Using this function, the output (in % of the span) is proportional to the square root of the third power of the input signal in % of the
calibrated span: the instrument gives an output proportional to the rate of flow calculated using the above mentioned formulas.

Figure 47: Tanks (respectively rectangula weir, trapezoidal weir and V-notch weir)

Square root to the 5th power

The x5 Square root Transfer function can be used for open channel flow measurement using ISO 1438 Vnotch (triangular) weirs
(see figure on the right) where the relationship between the flow and the developed head h (the differential pressure measured by
the transmitter) is proportional to h5/2 or square root of h5.
Using this function, the output (in % of the span) is proportional to the square root of the fifth power of the input signal in % of the
calibrated span: the instrument (it gives an output proportional to the rate of flow calculated using the Kingsvater-Shen formula).
Custom linearization curve
The custom linearization curve transfer function it is used typically for volumetric level measurement in tanks with an irregular
shape. It can be registered to a freely identifiable transfer function with a maximum of 22 base points. The first point is always the
zero point, the last is always the final value. Neither of these points can be altered.
A maximum of 20 points can be freely entered in between.
These points have to be defined by extrapolating the tank filling table data and reducing them to 22 points.Once identified the 22
points they will need to be uploaded into the device by either using an HART hand held terminal or a proper configuration software like Asset Vision Basic.

56 OI/266/HART-EN Rev. E | 2600T Series Pressure transmitters

Bidirectional Flow (to be used when the transmitter is connected to a bidirectional flow element)
Main characteristics
The bidirectional function, applied to the transmitter input (x) expressed in percentage of the calibrated span, has the following form:
Output = + sign (x) x
where x and Output should be normalized in the range 0 to 1 for calculation purpose, with the following Output meaning:
Output = 0 means Analog out 4 mA;
Output = 1 means Analog out 20 mA.
This function can be used for flow measurement purpose when the flow is in both the directions and the primary elements are
designed to perform this type of measure.
As an example, if we have a bidirectional flow measurement application with the following data:
Max reverse flow rate: -100 l/h
Max flow rate:
+100 l/h
The differential pressure generated by the flow primary is for the maximum flow rate 2500 mmH2O, for the max reverse flow rate
2500 mmH2O.
The transmitter will have to be configured as follows:
Calibrated span: 4mA = LRV = -2500mmH2O

20mA = URV = +2500mmH2O
Transfer function: Bidirectional flow
Once configured as above the transmitter will deliver:
flowrate 100 l/h reverse: output= 4 mA
no flowrate:
output= 12 mA
Flow rate 100 l/h:
output= 20 mA
Cylindric lying tank
This function is used to measure the volumetric level into a cylindrical horizontal tank with flat ends. The transmitter calculates the
volume from the measured filling level.
Spherical Tank
This function is used to measure the volumetric level into a spherical tank. The transmitter calculates the volume from the measured
filling level.
Configuration with the PC/laptop or handheld terminal
A graphical user interface (DTM) is required for configuration of the transmitter via PC or laptop. For operating instructions, please
refer to the software description.
The 266 transmitters can be configured by either one of the following device.
- Hand Held terminals like the ABB 691HT, ABB DHH800-MFC, Emerson Process 375 and 475 provided the 266 EDD has been
downloaded and enabled in the terminal.
- ABB Asset Vision Basic, a new free of charge software configurator downloadable at www.abb.com/Instrumentation
- Any DTM based software for HART instruments configuration provided it is compatible with EDD or DTM.

You can use a handheld terminal to read out or configure/calibrate the transmitter. If a communication resistor is installed in the
connected supply unit, you can clamp the handheld terminal directly along the 4 ... 20 mA line. If no communication resistor is
present (min. 250 ), you will need to install one in the line. The handheld terminal is connected between the resistor and transmitter,
not between the resistor and supply unit.

For additional information, refer to the operating instructions included with the handheld terminal.
If the transmitter has been configured in the factory according to customer specifications for the measuring point, all you have to
do is mount the transmitter as prescribed (to correct potential zero shifts, refer to the section Correcting the zero shift), and
switch it on. The measuring point will now be ready for use.
If, however, you wish to make changes to the configuration, a handheld terminal or - preferably - a graphical user interface (DTM)
is required. This DTM tool renders the device fully configurable. It supports both the HART protocol and PROFIBUS PA fieldbus
protocol, and can be run on a PC or laptop, or as part of an automation system. Where FOUNDATION Fieldbus is concerned, the
device description (DD), which can be loaded onto various configuration tools, is required for configuration purposes.
Refer to the installation manual provided with the software for the steps required to install the operating tool. The most important
parameters can be set via the path Parametrize_Differential Pressure Measurement.
The program offers the option of configuring, polling, and testing the transmitter.
In addition, offline configuration can be performed by means of an internal database.
Each configuration step is subject to a plausibility check. You can call up context-sensitive help at any time by pressing the F1
key. Immediately after you have received the transmitter or before you change the configuration, we recommend that you save the
existing configuration data to a separate data storage medium, via the path File_Save.

Maintenance
If transmitters are used as intended under normal operating conditions, no maintenance is required. It is sufficient to check the
output signal at regular intervals (in accordance with the operating conditions), as described in the instructions in the section
Operation resp. Configuration of the transmitter. If deposits are expected to accumulate, the measuring equipment should be
cleaned on a regular basis, in accordance with the operating conditions. Cleaning should ideally be carried out in a workshop.
Repair and maintenance activities may only be performed by authorized customer service personnel.
When replacing or repairing individual components, original spare parts must be used.

Returns and removal

Defective transmitters sent to the repairs department must, wherever possible, be accompanied by your own description of the
fault and its underlying cause.
Warning General risks
Before removing or disassembling the device, check for hazardous process conditions such as pressure on the device, high temperatures, aggressive or
toxic media, and so on. Read the instructions in the sections Safety and Electrical connection, and perform the steps outlined there in reverse order.

Pressure transmitter sensor

Essentially maintenance is not required for the transmitter
sensor. Anyway the following items should be checked
periodically:
Check the integrity of the pressure boundary (no cracks
should be visible on the process connection or on the process
flanges.
Check that there is no leakage from the sensor/flange
interface or from the vent/drain valves.
The process flanges bolts (for 266DS/MS/PS/VS/RS models)
should not show excessive rust.
In case one of the check points above fails, please replace the
damaged part with an original spare part.
Please contact your local ABB office for spare parts support
information or refer to the spare part list.
The use of non original spare parts makes the warranty void.
In case you want ABB to perform the repair, please send back
the transmitter to your local ABB office complete with the
return form that you find in this manual appendix and include it
with the device.

Removing/Installing the process flanges

Slacken the process flange screws by working on each in a crosswise manner (hexagon head, SW 17 mm (0.67 inch) for
266DS/266PS/266VS or SW 13 mm (0.51 inch) for 266MS/266RS).
Carefully remove the process flange, making sure that the isolating diaphragms are not damaged in the process.
Use a soft brush and a suitable solvent to clean the isolating diaphragms and - if necessary - the process flange.
Insert the new process flange O-rings in the process flange.
Attach the process flange to the measuring cell.
The surfaces of both process flanges must be at the same level and at a right angle to the electronics housing (with the exception
of vertical process flanges).
Check that the process flange screw thread can move freely: Manually turn the nut until it reaches the screw head. If this is not
possible, use new screws and nuts.
Lubricate the screw thread and seats of the screw connection.
While performing the preliminary and final tightening of the bolts, please act in a crosswise manner.
Attention Potential damage to parts

Important
This ATEX Category depends on the application (see below) and also on the intrinsic safety level of the transmitter supply (associated apparatus) which can
sometimes suitably be [ib] instead of [ia]. As it is well known, the level of an intrinsic safety system is determined by the lowest level of the various apparatus
used, i.e., in the case of [ib] supply, the system takes over this level of protection.

The meaning of ATEX code is as follows:

II: Group for surface areas (not mines)
1/2: Category - It means that only a part of the transmitter complies with category 1 and a second part complies with category 2
(see next application sketch).
G: Gas (dangerous media)

Additional instruction for IEC61508 certified device (digits 8 or T under output options)
Safety philosophy
The 266 Pressure Transmitters are field devices designed according to the requirements of the standard IEC61508 for the Safety
Related Systems. Standard currently used focus on individual parts of all the safe instrumentation used to implement a safety
function. The IEC61508 defines requirements related to all the system that normally comprises initiating devices, logic solver and
final elements. It also introduces the concept of Safety lifecycle defining the sequence of activities involved in the implementation
of the safety instrumented system from conception through decommissioning. For a single component it is not correct to define
a SIL level. The term SIL (Safety Integrity Level) refers to the complete safety loop therefore the single device shall be designed in
order to be suitable to achieve the desired SIL level in the entire Safety Loop.
Application
The 266 Pressure Transmitters are intended to be applied for safety relevant application in the process industry. They are suitable
to be used in SIL2 applications when applied as single channel and in SIL3 applications when applied with a double channel with
architecture 1oo2. Special attention has to be given to the separation of safety and non safety relevant use.
Physical environment
The transmitters are designed for use in industrial field environments and must be operated within the specified environmental
limits as indicated in the Transmitter Data Sheet.
Role and responsibilities
All the people, departments and organizations involved in the life-cycle phases which are responsible for carrying out and
reviewing the applicable overall, E/E/PES (Electrical/Electronic/ Programmable Electronic System) or software safety lifecycle
phases of a Safety Instrumented System shall be identified. All those specified as responsible for management of functional
safety activities shall be informed of the responsibilities assigned to them. All persons involved in any overall, E/E/PES or
software safety lifecycle activity, including management activities, should have the appropriate training, technical knowledge,
experience and qualifications relevant to the specific duties they have to perform.
Management of functional safety
For each application the installer or the owner of a safety system must prepare a Safety Planning which must be updated
throughout the Safety Life-cycle of the Safety Instrumented System. The safety planning shall include the Safety instrumentation
management.
The requirements for the management of functional safety shall run in parallel with the overall safety lifecycle phases.
Safety Planning.
The Safety Planning shall consider:
policies and strategies for achieving safety;
safety life-cycle activities to be applied, including names of responsible persons and departments;
procedures relevant to the various life-cycle phases;
audits and procedures for follow up.
Information requirements (to be made available by the plant owner)
The information shall comprehensively describe the system installation and its use in order that all phases of the overall safety
lifecycles, the management of functional safety, verification and the functional safety assessment can be effectively performed.
Overall safety life-cycle information
The overall safety lifecycle shall be used as the basis for claiming conformance to the standard IEC61508. The lifecycle phases
consider all the activities related to the Safety Instrumented System (SIS) from the initial concept through design, implementation,
operation and maintenance to decommissioning.
Applicable laws and standards
All applicable general Laws and Standards related to the allowed operations of the equipment, as EU-Directives shall be collected. The plant owner shall produce a Regulatory Requirements List document.
2600T Series Pressure transmitters | OI/266/HART-EN Rev. E 71

266 Models - HART

System safety requirement assignment I/O system response time

The total system response time is determined by the following elements:
- Sensor detection time,
- Logic solver time;
- Actuator response time;
The total system response time must be less than the process safety time. To ensure a safe operation of the system, the scan
rate of each section of the logic solver multiplied by the number of channels shall be taken into account together with the safety
time of actuator and sensor response time.
System structure
System configuration drawings shall be available to describe the equipment and interfaces required for a complete operational
system. The system must be fully operational before start-up.
Safety requirement allocation
Each safety function, with its associated safety integrity requirement, shall be allocated to the designated safety related systems
taking into account the risk reductions achieved by the other technology safety-related systems and external risk reduction
facilities, so the necessary risk reduction for that safety function is achieved.
The allocation indicated shall be done in such a way that all safety functions are allocated and the safety integrity requirements
are met for each safety function.
Safety routines
Safety additional requirements may be defined in order to ensure the correct functionality of sequences in the Safety
Instrumented System.
Commissioning
Overall system functionality
The activity to validate the required safety functionality of the system together with the pressure transmitter according to the
Safety Requirement Specification is the Pre-Startup Acceptance test.
Faults outside the functional safety
The redundant algorithms and the electronics are designed to detect all the internal hardware faults therefore the transmitter
diagnostic is not able to detect faults related to the process and to the installation configuration. In the following table the known
weaknesses resulting from the transducer FMEA (Failure Mode and Effect Analysis) are listed.
Assembled material at the pipes of the transmitter, blockage of pipe.
Application outside specified temperature range.
Excess of temperature
Assembled gas at the transmitter, if the transmitter is mounted above the process line
Overload pressure, high peak pressure pulses in process lines
Penetration of hydrogen, diaphragm crack in applications with hydrogen process medium.
Thin walled diaphragm, leaky diaphragm in applications with abrasive medium.
Thin walled diaphragm, leaky diaphragm in applications with corrosive medium.
Higher diaphragm stiffness, crack in application with contamination of metal ions
Mechanical damage through cleaning, damage of the coating, corrosion.
Other considerations
The alarm levels of the transmitter (down-scale or up-scale) can be selected by the user. As default all the 266 devices are
configured with up-scale alarm. For some faults (e.g. crystal breakdown), the output will latch at 3.6 mA even if the up scale alarm
level is selected.

72 OI/266/HART-EN Rev. E | 2600T Series Pressure transmitters

Architecture description and principle of operation

The instrument consists of two main functional units:
Primary unit
Secondary unit
The pressure transducer unit includes the process interface, the sensor and the front-end electronics; the Secondary Unit
includes the electronics, the terminal block and the housing. The two units are mechanically coupled by a threaded joint.
Principle of operation
The principle of operation is as follows. In the primary unit the process fluid ( liquid, gas or vapour ) exerts pressure on to the
sensor via flexible, corrosion-resistant isolating diaphragms and capillary tubing containing the fill fluid.
As the sensor detects the pressure changes, it simultaneously produces variations of the primary physical value depending on
the sensor technology (capacitive, inductive or piezoresistive). The signal is then converted in the front-end electronics in a digital
form and the raw values are computed by a microcontroller to a precise primary output linearization, compensating for the
combined effects of sensor non linearity, of static pressure and temperature changes on the basis of the mapped parameters
calculate in the manufacturing process and stored in the memory of the Front End electronics. Calculations follow independent
flows and they are compared in the microcontroller in order to validate the output pressure signal. If a difference between the two
measurements is detected the analog output is driven to a safety condition. The measured values and the sensor parameters are
transferred via a standard serial digital communication to the secondary unit where the communication board is fitted.
The output data value is converted into a pulse-width signal that is filtered and that activates the 4-20 mA transmitter.
The bi-directional, digital communication using the standard HART protocol is implemented as part of this unit. Internal
diagnostics algorithms are implemented to check correctness and validity of all processing variables and the correct working of
memories. The output stage is also checked by reading back the analog output signal and by reading the power supply voltage.
The feedback loop is obtained by an additional A/D converter put at the end of the output stage, which translates the 4-20 mA
signal into a digital form suitable to be compared by the microcontroller.
Commissioning and configuration issues
The transmitter is considered in safety condition (normal operating mode) when the write protect switch placed outside the
transmitter housing below the metallic nameplate is in Write Protect. In that condition all kind of configurations of the device are
disabled.
Operating mode enabling and disabling
Operating mode can be enabled/disabled depending on the switch position. It is also possible to put the device in write protect
condition by a dedicated HART command. In any case the switch position has the priority on the software command.
Warning
After any configuration operation, the transmitter must be put in operating mode

Proof tests
Safe undetected faults could occur during the operation of the transmitters. These failures do not affect the transmitter operations.
To maintain the claimed Safety Integrity Level (SIL 2) a proof test procedure is requested every 10 years.
The proof tests consist in the following operations:
Switch off the device.
Assure that the Write Protect Mode switch is in Write Protect condition.
Power-on the transmitter: the transmitter performs automatically a self-test that consists in the operations below:
ROM test
RAM test
Test of the analog output stage and of the feedback A/D converter
Test of the power supply voltage
Non volatile memory test
Apply pressure up to 50% of the calibrated range and check the output value. It shall be within the stated safety accuracy (2%
of sensor range).
2600T Series Pressure transmitters | OI/266/HART-EN Rev. E 73

266 Models - HART

In case the tests would fail the transmitter will drive the output to the alarm values. In this case a correction action consists in the
re-calibration of the D/A converter. In case the normal functionality will be not re-established, the transmitter shall be considered
failed and not possible to use.
Safety-related parameters
The Safety 266 pressure transmitters product meets the SIL2 requirements of IEC 61508 in low as well as high demand mode of
operation. The total PFD in low demand mode for 10 years proof test interval in the worst case is less than the 15% of the range
