Introduction

This page provides work instructions on how to setup the Veris Differential Pressure Sensor (Model PX3ULX05) powered by the Element-C.

Materials

  • Element-C 
  • Veris Differential Pressure Sensor (PX3ULX05)
  • 2-wire Connection Cable

Equipment

  • Small flathead screwdriver

Procedure

  1. Carefully remove the contents from its packaging. If any of the contents looks damaged, please send a picture of the contents to help@elementalmachines.com. NOTE: The Veris differential pressure sensor may be pre-wired to the Element-C for your convenience.
  2. Plug in the Element-C and complete the Wifi Connect instructions (see attachment). If pre-wired to the Element-C, the Veris Differential Pressure sensor will also power on.
  3. Power off the Element-C.
  4. Confirm the wiring into the Veris Differential Pressure Sensor:
    1. Open up the Veris Differential Pressure sensor by unhooking the clasp on the right hand side.
    2. Confirm the BLACK wire is inserted in the LEFT most slot of the green terminal block.
    3. Confirm the RED wire is inserted into the MIDDLE slot of the green terminal block.
    4. If the RED and BLACK wires are not configured as noted in Steps 3a and 3b, wire them up in accordance to these instructions.Figure 1:  Terminal block of Veris differential pressure sensor for wiring connection cable is circled 
  5. Check the DIP switch settings.  Default configuration settings are:
    SwitchState
    1OFF (In WC/FPM)
    2OFF (Pressure)
    3OFF (Bi)
    4ON (Slow) NOTE: Element-C samples data every 15 seconds, so changing differential pressure setting to FAST will not change Element-C output.
    5ON (mA) DO NOT CHANGE
    6OFF (not used)
    7ON (Disabled)
    8Unused
  6. Ensure the dial setting is configured to the desired range per the table below.  If the dial setting is incorrect, please inform EM immediately at help@elementalmachines.com to ensure that the device report correct readings on the dashboard. Note: Changing the settings in Steps 5 and 6 without informing Elemental Machines may adversely affect streaming of data to the Elemental Machines Dashboard.                                                                Figure 2: Rotary Switch Settings
  7. Confirm the wiring to Element-C.
    1. Confirm the RED wire is inserted into Slot 1 of the terminal block.
    2. Confirm the BLACK wire is inserted into Slot 9 of the terminal block.
    3. If the RED and BLACK wires are not configured as noted in Steps 6a and 6b, wire them up in accordance to these instructions.                                                                Figure 3:  Wiring to Element-C
  8. Plug the Element-C is into wall power.  The Element-C will also power the Veris differential pressure sensor. Check to make sure the differential pressure sensor is powered on by checking for a reading in the display. (It will not be correct.)
  9. Hold down the reset button (being pointed to by the screwdriver in Figure 4) until the pressure display blinks 3 times, then release it. It should now read roughly 0.000 (there will still be slight fluctuations).                                                    Figure 4:  Press down reset button to zero the device
  10. Allow the Veris differential pressure to remain powered on without any tubes connected for at least 48 hours.  Hold down the reset button again. Connect tubing for installation.
