Product description
Differential pressure transmitter-regulator E2418DF is a member of the new PluraSens®
family of multifunctional measurement instruments. The transmitter is intended for
measurement of pressure of air and non-aggressive gases with superb accuracy and no
offset drift.
The differential pressure is measured by a thermal sensor element using flow-through
technology. Compared with membrane based sensors, the method provides an extended
dynamic range, better long-term stability and improved repeatability, especially near zero.
E2418 features two independent analog outputs OUT1 and OUT2 user-selectable to 4-20
mA or 0-10 V. RS485 Modbus RTU digital communication interface allows easy instrument
configuration and integration into various automation systems.
Safety requirements
Always adhere to the safety provisions applicable in the country of use.
Do not perform any maintenance operation with the power on. Do not let water or foreign
objects inside the device.
Operating conditions
The device should be used in explosion-safe (non ATEX -rated) indoor areas, without
aggressive gases in the atmosphere.

Installation and connections
Unscrew four lid screws and detach the lid from the detector.
Fix the detector on a wall by screws, using cross-shaped mounting lugs supplied with the
instrument (see dimensional drawings below).
To connect the device with measurement point, use the hoses of appropriate diameter (4
or 6 mm) and length. Put one end of the hose on the fitting in the bottom part of the device
and fix the other end in the selected measurement area. The port marked with + (plus)
should be connected with the area of higher pressure (e.g. before air filter), the one marked
with - (minus) should be connected to the lower pressure area (e.g. behind air filter).
NB! The connecting hoses should not be squeezed or folded.
The connection diagram of the device is shown below.
NOTE! All dimensions are in millimeters.

Make certain that the cable gland is properly tightened to ensure the conformity to IP65
protection class.
The screwless quick connect spring terminals on the E2418 are suitable for a wide range
of wires with cross-section 0,2...1,5 mm2. The recommended wire stripping length is 8...9
mm. Push the spring loaded terminal lever, insert the wire end into the terminal hole and
release the lever.
Use twisted pair cable, e.g. LiYY TP 2×2×0,5 mm2 or CAT 5, to connect the device to the
RS485 network. Use one pair for A and B wires and the second pair for common 0V and
power +U wires. to connect the transmitter to the Fieldbus network.polarity must be
respected when connecting to an external RS485 network.
Overall length of all connections via the RS485 interface should not exceed 1200 m.
Both analog outputs can be independently changed between 4-20 mA and 0-10 V type
using jumpers J1 (OUT1) and J2 (OUT2). By closing pins on a specific jumper the related
output is 0-10 V, with an open jumper the output is 4-20 mA. Power restart is required after
changing the position of the jumpers.
NOTE! The outputs are not galvanically isolated from the external power supply and share
a common 0V. Allowed load resistance limits are stated in the Specifications table. To
power the instrument from an external power source, connect terminals 0V and +U to the
source.
When the detector is fixed and the external devices connected, place the lid back and fix it
with the screws.

Return to default settings
To reset the device’s Slave ID, baud rate and stop bit number to factory settings, proceed as
follows:
1. De-energize the device
2. Connect the X6 jumper
X6 Jumper Closed (Connected)
X6 Jumper Open (Disconnected)
3. Turn on the device
4. De-energize the device
5. Disconnect the X6 jumper
6. Turn on the device
NOTE! Cables should be connected/disconnected from PCB when the power supply is
unplugged. Connecting or Disconnecting Live wires can result in Corrupt Firmware.
NOTE! Cables should only be connected / disconnected from the device when the power
supply is switched off. Connecting / disconnecting live wires to the device can cause
sparks which in result can affect device performance during operations. Electrical
installation should always be done by a qualified Technician.

Emergency mode
The current outputs of the detector may be programmed via Modbus commands (register
255) to signal if the connection with the sensor is lost. The signal may be set to 3,8 mA
(low current) or 21,5 mA (high current).
