EM2000H Differential Pressure Alarm Controllers

Description

Differential-pressure measurement with local alarms

The EM2000H monitors air and compatible nonflammable gases, displays pressure on an LCD, and provides upper- and lower-limit alarm contacts. A built-in buzzer gives local warning, while RS485 Modbus RTU allows remote reading of pressure, temperature and alarm settings. Applications include cleanrooms, ventilation systems, filter monitoring and air-conditioning equipment.

Alarm contacts and communication terminals

EM2000H rear terminal block showing power, high alarm, low alarm and RS485 connections
The eight-position terminal block separates controller power, two alarm contacts and the RS485 pair.
TerminalFunction
1 / 21: +24VDC; 2: DC supply negative
3 / 4Upper-alarm contact; closes above the high threshold
5 / 6Lower-alarm contact; closes below the low threshold
7 / 87: RS485 A; 8: RS485 B

AL H sets the upper threshold and AL L sets the lower threshold. The relay contacts are passive and require the controlled circuit's own supply. Choose the contact load to match the confirmed switching rating of the supplied controller.

Display and configuration

EM2000H LCD with selectable pressure units, temperature indication and four front keys
SET, two arrow keys and return/mute provide local access to pressure and alarm settings.

Press SET to open the parameter menu, choose an item with ▲/▼, then press SET to edit it. Change the value with the arrow keys and press SET to save. The return/mute key exits the setting screen and supports audible-alarm muting. Digital settings include zero offset, measurement range, small-signal cutoff, alarm thresholds and communication parameters.

The RS485 interface supports function 03 holding-register reads. Default communication settings are address 1, 9600baud and no parity. The English manual includes the complete register map, frame examples, parity options and menu table.

Pressure connection and mounting

Connect higher pressure to HIGH and lower pressure to LOW. For a signed gauge-pressure measurement, connect the pressure or vacuum source to HIGH and leave LOW open to atmosphere. Seal only the unused duplicate ports and keep fittings airtight.

Install vertically in a clean, dry location without vibration. Surface mounting uses three positions at 120° intervals; flush mounting uses a matching panel opening and mounting lugs. Pipe mounting requires a separate kit. Long pressure lines increase response time, and tubing should prevent condensate or contamination from reaching the sensing element.
