1. Introduction

MPM/MDM series transmitting controllers are multi-functional

instruments for pressure, differential pressure and level measurement

and control which consists of MPM/MDM484C, MPM/MDM460,

MPM460W, MPM/MDM484ZL. This series of products are all-electronic

structure, which can measure, display and control on-site pressure,

differential pressure and level. It could output standard signals, and

realize network transmission and remote setting and calibration for

transmitting controllers’ parameters based on RS485 (Modbus RTU

protocol) bus. With easy operation and calibration, it is widely used in

various industries like hydro-power, tap water, water treatment,

petroleum, chemical industry, metallurgy, etc. It can realize the

measurement, display and control of pressure, differential pressure and

liquid level of fluid medium.

Features

 High-precision AD conversion circuit, microprocessor processing data

 Convenient for networking and data transmission, long-distance

calibration and setup available

1
 Main and secondary screens are displayed simultaneously (484C

has main screen only)

 Parameters setting and calibration by keys, easy to operate

 Analog output and RS485 interface (Modbus RTU protocol) available

 Max. 8-way control (460 series), high controlling accuracy

 Return difference setting for each controlling contact to avoid contact

chattering, stable operation

2. Safety alarm

Please read this manual carefully before operation and make

the connection according to the electrical definition of each

product.

Do not calibrate the transmitter when there is no standard

pressure source. If you need to adjust it, please operate it by

professional persons

Please do not touch the corrugated diaphragm with your

hands or sharp objects to avoid damaging the sensor.

In case of strong interference, the housing should be well

grounded.

11
at measurement status; displays current parameter virtual value at setup

status. In all states, the secondary display shows the current system

status or limit value and cannot be changed individually. There are three

keys on frond board, ▲, SET, and ▼ keys.

Note:

1.MPM484ZL has no“AL-6” to“AL-8F”; MPM484C has no“AL-6”to“AL-8F”,“F--L” and

deputy display. All the information will be shown on main display if it has no deputy

display;

2.Baud rate: 0/1200,1/2400,2/4800,3/9600,4/19200,5/38400,6/57600,7/115200;

3.Relay property: “0” indicates the lower limit alarm, “1” indicates upper limit alarm;

4. “Zero output display” and “span output display” Used to adjust the output analog

quantity, The default is consistent with "zero display" and "full display";

5. "Common hysterisis" : it is used to eliminate the jitter of pressure at the critical

point of limit value, and the default value is 0;

6. "Second screen display": 0(default) Display "U--U"; 1~5(484ZL)/1~8(460) display

the corresponding limit value, 6 and 7(484ZL)/ 9 and 10 (460) display the zero

display and full span value;

7."Return factory" : set "1" and press the "confirm" button, the meter will immediately

restore the factory Settings, the default is "0" FAct indicates menu entering, “1”

means “restore to factory”. Default is “0”.

7. Installation
7.1 MPM484C, MPM460, MPM484ZL

The pressure port for MPM484C, MPM460, MPM484ZL controllers is

M20x1.5 male waterline seal. For flush diaphragm transmitting controller,

pressure port is G1/2 male with seal cushion. The controller could be

installed to flange connector on measuring tube directly. Please add

13
cut-off valve between flange connector and tube for easy installation and

repair.

There is one nylon protection cap on the pressure port of flush

diaphragm type controllers. Please do not take off the cap to protect

diaphragm if the user does not install.

Please mount controller to pressure port M20X1.5 female, the screw

depth should be less than 20mm (there should be a seal-ring on the type

face). Pressure port G1/2 female’s depth should be no less than 15mm.

Please do not wrap tape on pressure port G1/2 male to seal. This would

affect product stability or damage product.

7.2 MDM484C, MDM484ZL, MDM460

The pressure ports for standard MDM484A, MDM484ZL differential

pressure controller are two G1/4 female. Marked with “+“ is high (positive)

pressure side; marked with “-“ is low (negative) pressure side. The

transmitter should be connected to process tube together with 3 valve

manifolds by pressure leading tube. Pressure leading tube’s high

(positive) pressure side connects to pressure port marked “+”; pressure

leading tube’s low (negative) pressure side connects to pressure port

marked “-”. Please make two pressure port horizontal for right installation

position, and make indicator facts to worker directly.

For normal operation and easy installation, please install 3 valve

14
manifolds between controller and measuring point; pressure port G1/4

male’s length should be no more than 12mm, and sealed by seal

cushion.

Note：

(1) process operation pressure should be no more than 20MPa.

(2) the measured media differential pressure should not exceed upper limit

pressure.

(3) Open 3 valve manifold to prevent that one single pressure acts on transmitting

controller to protect product.

(4) Media should be compatible with construction material.

(5) Pressure port marked with “+” and ”-”. This will keep correct connection.

7.3 MPM460W

Standard MPM460W level transmitting controller is submersible type and

the installation direction is vertical down.

8. Communication protocol
The products uses standard Modbus RTU protocol (03: read register，

06: set single register).

100; 3: divided by 1000) and then get real-time pressure values.

9. Responsibility
Within one year from the delivery date, we shall repair or replace the

instrument with any quality fault caused by material parts or our

manufacturing technique free of charge. For non-quality malfunction

during user’s operation, we are in charge of repair. But the material cost

and the shuttle transportation fees should be borne by users.
