Chapter 2: Installation and Removal Procedures and Notes
• Mounting Instructions
Your PT-500 can be mounted in three ways: via NPT process connection, free-hanging suspension, or con-
duit mounted. Mounting your pressure transducer is easy if you follow a few simple steps:
• Never over-tighten the sensor. In all cases, tighten the sensor as little as possible to create an adequate
seal.
• Always use thread tape or sealant compound on tapered threads. Wrap thread tape in the opposite
direction of the threads so it does not unravel as you screw the sensor into place. Unraveling can cause
uneven distribution and seal failure.
• Always start screwing in your sensor by hand to avoid cross-threading. Thread failure can be a problem
if you damage threads by over-tightening them or by crossing threads.
• For suspension mounting the PT-500, drill a 3/16” hole into the 1/2” NPTF to 1/2” NPTF hex coupler
(P/N 511414) and secure it to the 1/2” NPTM coupler tting of the PT-500. Attach a .060” diameter 316L
SS cable of desired length to the hex coupler and secure the steel cable according to your application
requirements.
• Wrench sized appropriately for your PT-500’s process or conduit connection.
• Thread tape or sealant compound for threaded connections.
• Tools Needed
• Attach the wires of your PT-500 to your control system according to the pinout table above.
• Electrical Installation
IMPORTANT: APG modbus equipment uses reversed TX+/TX- pins. When making
connections between APG equipment, ensure continuity of A to A and B to B pins. When
connecting APG modbus equipment to other systems, ensure continuity of TX+ to TX+
and TX- to TX-.
NOTE: If your PT-500 has a vent tube, do not seal, cover, or close the vent tube with
anything other than an APG-provided venting cap or desiccant drying cartridge (See Fig-
ure 4.1 and 4.2). Unapproved seals or covers will prevent proper sensor operation.

Removing your PT-500 from service must be done with care. It’s easy to create an unsafe situation, or
damage your sensor, if you are not careful to follow these guidelines:
• For sensors installed via NPT process connection, make sure the pressure is completely removed from
the line or vessel. Follow any and all procedures for safely isolating any media contained inside the line
or vessel.
• Remove the sensor with an appropriately sized wrench (per your process connection).
• For suspended sensors, retrieve the sensor from the vessel. Follow any and all procedures for safely
isolating any media contained inside the line or vessel.
• Carefully clean the sensor’s tting and diaphragm of any debris (see General Care) and inspect for
damage.
• Store your sensor in a dry place, at a temperature between -40° F and 180° F.
• Removal Instructions
DANGER: Removing your process connected PT-500 Pressure Transmitter while there
is still pressure in the line could result in injury or death.
PT-500 L5/L31 modbus series sensors use standard Modbus RTU protocol (RS-485). The sensors can only op-
erate as slave devices. Sensor default transmission settings are 9600 Baud, 8 Bits, 1 Stop Bit, No Parity, and
require a minimum delay of 300 ms between transactions to return the contents of all registers. Commands
returning fewer registers will require shorter delays. See PT-500 Modbus Register Lists on pages 7 - 9.

NOTE: For more information about Modbus RTU, please visit www.modbus.org.
IMPORTANT: Any contact with the diaphragm can permanently damage the sensor.
Use extreme caution.
