CPM223/CPM253 Transmitter Selection Code Overview

The CPM223 and CPM253 series transmitters are selected through multi-digit codes. The code fields successively cover sensor input and software, power supply, output, additional contacts, and additional functions. Engineering and procurement personnel can determine the code item by item according to on-site measurement requirements, then combine them into a complete model.

The original selection table uses 'Feature, Value, Description' as columns. This article splits it into tables by code field for quick verification. Options marked with *** usually correspond to certification or special configurations. Before selection, confirm on-site compliance requirements.

1. Sensor Input and Software Version

This field determines the sensor types and software function level supported by the transmitter. Memosens digital and analog pH/ORP inputs correspond to different codes. Special versions require a separately defined TSP number.

CodeDescription
ISpH (glass/ISFET) / ORP; additional functions
MRMemosens digital, pH (glass/ISFET) / ORP; basic version
MSMemosens digital, pH (glass/ISFET) / ORP; additional functions
PRpH (glass) / ORP; basic version
PSpH (glass) / ORP; additional functions
YYSpecial version, please define TSP number

2. Power Supply Options

Power supply codes distinguish supply voltage and certification type. If the site has CSA general purpose or ATEX intrinsically safe/increased safety requirements, the corresponding code should be matched first.

CodePower Supply Specification
0230VAC
1115VAC
2230VAC; CSA Gen.Purp.
3115VAC; CSA Gen.Purp.
4***230VAC; ATEX II (3)G (Ex nAL) IIC
5100VAC
6***24V AC/DC; ATEX II (3)G (Ex nAL) IIC
724V AC/DC; CSA Gen.Purp.
824V AC/DC

3. Output and Communication

Output codes determine the number of current output channels, HART communication, or Profibus bus type. Basic values and additional values correspond to different process variable output capabilities.

CodeOutput Description
01x 0/4...20mA, basic value
12x 0/4...20mA, basic value + additional value
3Profibus PA
4Profibus DP
51x 0/4...20mA, basic value, HART
62x 0/4...20mA, basic value, HART + additional value

4. Additional Contacts

Additional contact codes are used for relay output, limit, timer, chemical cleaning, and 4...20mA input expansion. Select 05 when no additional contacts are required.

CodeAdditional Contact Description
05Not selected
102x relay (limit/P(ID)/timer)
154x relay (limit/P(ID)/chemical cleaning)
164x relay (limit/P(ID)/timer)
201x 4...20mA input + 2x relay (timer/limit/P(ID))
251x 4...20mA input + 4x relay (chemical cleaning/limit/P(ID)) / P(ID)
261x 4...20mA input + 4x relay (timer/limit/P(ID)) / P(ID)

5. Additional Functions and Tag

The additional functions field is used to select special configurations such as Enviro or protective layer. The tag field is used to mark the instrument TAG and must be filled in according to additional instructions.

PRL***Protective layer

6. Selection Steps

  1. Confirm measurement requirements: Determine whether pH, ORP, ISFET, or Memosens digital sensor is required, and whether additional functions are needed.
  2. Select sensor input and software code: According to Table 1, choose IS, MR, MS, PR, PS, or YY.
  3. Select power supply code: Check supply voltage and CSA/ATEX certification requirements, and select the appropriate item from 0–8.
  4. Select output code: According to control system requirements, choose 0/4...20mA, HART, or Profibus PA/DP.
  5. Select additional contact code: Choose according to relay, limit, timer, chemical cleaning, and 4...20mA input requirements.
  6. Select additional functions and tag: If Enviro or protective layer is required, choose ENV or PRL; if TAG is required, select tag code 1.
  7. Combine and review the model: Concatenate the codes of each field in order, focusing on certification, communication, and special version TSP number.

7. Selection Precautions

  • Certification codes cannot be replaced arbitrarily: ATEX and CSA options correspond to different market access requirements. Incorrect selection may prevent commissioning.
  • Special versions require a defined TSP number: When selecting YY, a clear TSP number must be provided; otherwise, configuration cannot be completed.
  • Communication outputs are mutually exclusive: HART and Profibus usually cannot be selected at the same time. The unique output code must be determined according to the DCS/PLC interface.
  • Additional contacts affect expansion capability: 4x relay and 4...20mA input options affect wiring and functions and must be checked against the electrical design.
  • Tag requires additional instructions: When selecting tag code 1, the TAG content should be stated in the additional instructions.

8. Conclusion

The CPM223/CPM253 selection table covers sensors, power supply, output, contacts, and functions with modular codes. Confirming each item according to the above steps can reduce mismatches and improve procurement accuracy. For codes marked with *** or special versions, it is recommended to attach complete technical specifications to the order.
