OPERATION
7.1 Preparation for Starting
Operation
The Model EJA310A, EJA430A and EJA440A
pressure transmitter measures the pressure of liquids,
gases, and steam. This section describes the operation
procedure for the EJA430A as shown in Figure 7.1
(vertical impulse piping type, high-pressure connection:
right side) when measuring a pressure.
NOTE
Confirm that the process pressure tap valve,
drain valve, and stop valve are closed.
(a) Introduce a process fluid into the impulse piping
and then to the transmitter in the following proce-
dure:
1) Open the tap valve (main valve) to fill the impulse
piping with process fluid.
2) Gradually open the stop valve to introduce process
fluid into the transmitter pressure-detector section.
3) Confirm that there is no pressure leak in the
impulse piping, transmitter, or other components.
Venting Gas from the Transmitter Pressure-
detector Section
• Since the piping in the example of Figure 7.1 is
constructed to be self-venting, no venting operation is
required. If it is not possible to make the piping self-
venting, refer to Subsection 7.5 for instructions.
(b) Turn ON power and connect the BT200.
Open the terminal box cover, and connect the
BT200 to the and – terminals.
(c) Using the BT200, confirm that the transmitter is
operating properly. Check parameter values or
change the setpoints as necessary. See Chapter 8 for
BT200 operation.
If the transmitter is equipped with an integral
indicator, its indication can be used to confirm that
the transmitter is operating properly.
