The Foxboro® brand I/A Series Model IDP50 is an intelligent, premium performance, two-wire d/p Cell®
transmitter that provides precise, reliable, measurement of differential pressure to provide a very wide
measurement range. Optionally, a gauge pressure configuration is also offered. The transmitter transmits a
4 to 20 mA or digital output signal, as applicable, using HART or FOUNDATION Fieldbus communication
protocol for remote configuration, calibration, and monitoring.

The manufacturer shall provide multirange field-mounted differential pressure transmitters featuring HART
or FOUNDATION Fieldbus Communication Protocol. These transmitters must also be provided with a
configuration for gauge pressure measurement. They shall provide remote digital communications
capability for measuring differential pressure, and transmit a digital, or 4 to 20 mA dc (HART only), output
signal for use in a standard two-wire dc supply voltage system. The transmitters shall also be provided (as
required) with direct connect seals, or remote mount, capillary connected seals. The specifications for these
transmitters are as follows:
Communication Protocol: HART: Digital and 4 to 20 mA dc output signal
FOUNDATION Fieldbus: Digital output signal
Remote Communications: Must not interfere with output
Accuracy: ±0.025% of calibrated span for spans ≥10% URL
Damping: Settable for a range of none to 32 seconds
RFI Protection: 0.1% error between 27 and 1000 MHz at 30 V/m field intensity
Proof Pressure: 14 500 psi for standard transmitter
Span Limits: 2.5 and 200 inH2O, 12.5 and 1000 inH2O, 2.5 and 200 psi, or 25 and 2000 psi,
as specified; or SI and metric equivalents.
Mounting: On process piping, manifold, or optional mounting bracket
Input Connection: With process connectors to accept 1/4 NPT, 1/2 NPT, Rc 1/4 or Rc 1/2, 1/2
Schedule 80 welding neck.
Electronics Housing: 316 ss, or aluminum housing with epoxy finish
Modular Electronics: Easily replaceable modular electronics in a NEMA 4X (IEC IP66) housing
sealed with O-rings for protection against moisture or other contaminants.
Optional integral LCD Indicator with on-board configuration pushbuttons.
Process Cover: Traditional Structures
Industry standard 316 ss
Low Profile Structures:
Industry standard 316 ss
Sensor Materials: Traditional Structure:
Industry standard 316L ss
Low Profile Structures:
Industry standard 316L ss
Approvals and Certifications: Must be suitable for Division 1 hazardous locations, and conform to all
applicable European Union Directives; also versions available to meet agency
flameproof and zone requirements. Also FOUNDATION Fieldbus versions must
be FISCO and FNICO compliant.
Approximate Mass: 4.2 kg (9.2 lb), with Traditional Structures;
(with Process Connectors) Add 0.1 kg (0.2 lb) with Low Profile Structure LP1;
Add 0.8 kg (1.8 lb) with Low Profile Structure LP2;
Add 1.1 kg (2.4 lb) with 316 ss housing;
