CPM253 Selection Table Overview

The CPM253 transmitter selection code consists of fields such as sensor input and software, power supply, output, additional contacts, and TAG. The original selection table is organized by 'Feature, Value, Description'; this article restructures it into tables by field for easy reference.

When selecting, combine the codes in field order and verify explosion protection, certifications, and software functions. Options marked with *** are usually related to ATEX explosion protection and require special confirmation.

1. Sensor Input and Software

CodeSensor Input / SoftwareDescription
ISpH (glass/ISFET) / ORPAdditional function
MRMemosens digital, pH(glass/ISFET)ORPBasic version
MSMemosens digital, pH(glass/ISFET)ORPAdditional function
PRpH (glass) / ORPBasic version
PSpH (glass) / ORPAdditional function

Memosens is digital sensor technology; ISFET is suitable for conditions where glass electrodes are limited. The basic version meets routine measurement needs, while additional functions enhance diagnostics and software capabilities.

2. Power Supply Options

CodePower Supply Specification and Certification
A***24 V AC/DC; ATEX II (3)G (Ex nAL) IIC
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 3G EEx nA(L) IIC T4
724V AC/DC; CSA Gen.Purp.
824V AC/DC

The power supply code determines the supply voltage and area certification. Options A, 4, and 6 marked with *** involve ATEX explosion protection and should be selected according to the hazardous area classification. CSA Gen.Purp. indicates general-purpose certification.

3. Output Options

CodeOutput Type
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

Analog outputs are suitable for conventional PLC/DCS; HART can superimpose digital communication on 4...20mA; Profibus PA/DP is used for fieldbus systems. Dual-channel output is suitable for applications requiring a second measured value or temperature compensation.

4. Additional Contacts and Inputs

CodeAdditional Contact / Input Function
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))
251x4...20mA input + 4x relay (chemical cleaning/limit/P(ID)) /P(ID)
261x 4...20mA input + 4x relay (timer/limit/P(ID))

Additional contacts are used for limit alarms, P(ID) control, timing, and chemical cleaning. If an external 4...20mA input is required, choose 20, 25, or 26, and select according to the number of relays.

5. Tag

The original is marked as >>>TAG, corresponding to code 1: TAG, see additional notes. Selecting this code provides tag identification, facilitating on-site asset management and drawing correspondence.

6. CPM253 Selection Steps

  1. Determine the sensor type and software functions: choose IS, MR, MS, PR, or PS.
  2. Select the power supply code according to power supply and explosion protection requirements: A, 0–8.
  3. Select the output code according to the control system interface: 0, 1, 3, 4, 5, 6.
  4. Select the additional contact code according to alarm, cleaning, and P(ID) control requirements: 05, 10, 15, 16, 20, 25, 26.
  5. If tag identification is needed, select code 1 and verify the additional notes.

The final model is formed by combining the codes of each field in order. After selection, it is recommended to verify explosion-proof certification, software functions, and relay configuration with the supplier to ensure consistency with on-site conditions.
