7 48-635 e3 modulevel displacer level transmitter 2.0 complete installation 2.1 unpacking unpack the instrument carefully. take care not to bend the displacer stem or enclosing tube. ensure all components have been removed from the packing material. check all the contents against the packing slip and report any discrepan- cies to the factory. before proceeding with the installation, do the following: ? inspect all components for damage. report any damage to the carrier within 24 hours. ? on chambered units, remove the shipping strap and wire assembly holding the displacer in place. this assembly must be removed through the bottom chamber connection before start-up. caution: if reshipping to another location, the displacer must again be secured using the same strap and wire assembly. ? check that the model number on the nameplate matches the packing slip and purchase order. ? record the model and serial numbers for future reference when ordering parts. model number serial number 2.2 electrostatic discharge (esd) handling procedure magnetrol electronic instruments are manufactured to the highest quality standards. these instruments use electronic components which may be damaged by static electricity present in most work environments. the following steps are recommended to reduce the risk of component failure due to electrostatic discharge. ? ship and store circuit boards in anti-static bags. if an anti- static bag is not available, wrap the board in aluminum foil. do not place boards on foam packing materials. ? use a grounding wrist strap when installing and removing circuit boards. a grounded workstation is recommended. ? handle circuit boards only by the edges. do not touch components or connector pins. ? ensure that all electrical connections are completely made and that none are partial or floating. ground all equipment to a good, earth ground.
8 48-635 e3 modulevel displacer level transmitter 2.3 before you begin 2.3.1 site preparation each e3 modulevel transmitter is built to match the physi- cal specifications of the required installation. ensure that the process connection(s) on the vessel matches the modulevels process connection(s). see mounting, section 2.4 . ensure that the wiring between the power supply and modulevel transmitter are complete and correct for the type of installation. see wiring, section 2.5 . when installing the modulevel transmitter in a general pur- pose or hazardous area, local, state and federal regulations and guidelines must be observed. see wiring, section 2.5 . 2.3.2 equipment and tools no special equipment or tools are required to install the electronic modulevel. the following items are recommended: ? wrenches, flange gaskets and flange bolting appropriate for process connection(s) ? flat-blade screwdriver ? level ? 1 M 8 " allen wrench ? power supply ? multimeter ? 250 to 450 ohm resistor for transmitters with hart communication 2.3.3 operational considerations the modulevel transmitter should be located for easy access for service, configuration, and monitoring. there should be sufficient headroom to allow installation and removal of the transmitter head and, in cases of tank top configuration, the displacer. special precautions should be made to prevent exposure to corrosive atmosphere, excessive vibration, shock, or physical damage. the operating temperature range for the transmitter elec- tronics is -40 to +176 f (-40 to +80 c). the operating temperature range for the digital display is -5 to +160 f (-20 to +70 c). caution: operation of all buoyancy type level devices should be done in such a way as to minimize the action of dynamic forces on the float or displacer sensing element. good practice for reducing the likelihood of damage to the con- trol is to equalize pressure across the device very slowly.
9 48-635 e3 modulevel displacer level transmitter 2.4 mounting the e3 modulevel transmitter can be mounted to a tank using a variety of configurations and process connections. generally, either a threaded, welded or flanged connection is used with an external cage. a flanged connection is always used on a tank top model. for information about the sizes and types of connections available, see model numbers, section 3.7 . ensure all mounting connections are in place on the tank and properly sized for the specific unit being installed. compare the model on the nameplate with the product information to ensure the modulevel transmitter is correct for the intended installation. if the modulevel must be insulated, do not insulate the transmitter head, e-tube or finned extensions. 2.4.1 tank top installation (e3a & e3b) figure 5 illustrates a typical tank top installation. before installing, ensure that: ? there is adequate headroom for the installation of the modulevel head and displacer and that it has unobstructed entry into the vessel. ? using a level, the mounting flange is level within 3 in all directions. ? if the adjustable hanger assembly (p/n 32-3110-001) is used, it is cut to the required length and attached to the displacer stem. note: the adjustable hanger assembly is used when the top of the displacer and, therefore, the top of the measurement range must be positioned in the vessel more than 9.31" below the mounting flange. the standard hanger cable length is 8 feet. consult factory for longer cable. model flange bolting e-tube e3a, e3b n/a 200 C 225 ft-lbs e3c, e3d, e3e, e3f C 150# 110C120 ft-lbs e3c, e3d, e3e, e3f C 300# 180C200 ft-lbs e3c, e3d, e3e, e3f C 600# 180C200 ft-lbs e3c, e3d, e3e, e3f C 900# 370C400 ft-lbs e3c, e3d, e3e, e3f C 1500# 630C690 ft-lbs e3c, e3d, e3e, e3f C 2500# 675C725 ft-lbs liquid level displacer figure 5 tank top mounted installation torque specifications for enclosing tubes and flange bolting
10 48-635 e3 modulevel displacer level transmitter ? a stilling well is installed for applications where continuous agitation is present. the stilling well must be vertically level so as not to restrict displacer movement. see figure 6 for a typical stilling well installation. ? the process temperature, pressure and specific gravity are within the units specifications for installation. see specifications, section 3.6 . to install: 1. position the head flange gasket on the vessel flange and gen- tly lower the displacer into the vessel. to prevent damage to the stem/spring assembly, avoid tipping the unit or, in any way, putting lateral forces on the stem. 2. align the flanges and ensure that the gasket is seated properly. 3. install the flange bolts and nuts and tighten alternating nuts in a star pattern. flange bolting torque specifications are listed on page 9. caution: all modulevels are shipped from the factory with the enclosing tube tightened and the transmitter head set screws locked to the enclosing tube. failure to loosen the set screws prior to repositioning the supply and output con- nections may cause the enclosing tube to loosen, resulting in the possible leakage of the process liquid or vapor. 4. loosen the transmitter head lock screws (socket type) and position conduit outlet in the desired direction. see figure 7. 5. retighten lock screws. note: since the transmitter head is rotatable through 360o, it is impor- tant to make certain that the controller locking screws are tight before making electrical connections. 2.4.2 external chamber installation (e3c, e3d, e3e & e3f) the chamber type modulevel is mounted on the side of the vessel with either a side/side or side/bottom connection, as furnished. figure 8 on page 11 illustrates a typical chamber type installation. before installing, ensure that: ? there is adequate room for installation of the modulevel. ? using a level, the vessel mounting connections are level within 3 in all directions. ? the process temperature, pressure and specific gravity are within the units specifications for installation. see specifications, section 3.6 . ? if not already done, remove the shipping strap and wire assembly holding the displacer in place in the chamber. this assembly must be removed through the bottom chamber connection or drain before start-up. size always unlock for r epositioning or removal of head assembly and always relock, after final positioning figure 7 transmitter head lock screws use stilling well in case of turbluent medium figure 6 tank top mounted with stilling well
11 48-635 e3 modulevel displacer level transmitter to install: 1. align the modulevel process connections with those on the vessel and attach accordingly, based upon the connection type. appropriate gaskets and bolting will be required for flanged connections. install the flange bolts and nuts and tighten alternating nuts in a star pattern. flange bolting torque specifications are listed on page 9. note: it is recommended that shut-off valves be installed in each equalizing line to the chamber, along with a drain valve (refer to figure 8). equalizing lines should be sized at least as large as the connections provided at the chamber. 2. make sure that the chamber is vertically level within 3 in each direction to ensure frictionless operation of the internal displacer. caution: all modulevels are shipped from the factory with the enclosing tube tightened and the transmitter head set screws locked to the enclosing tube. failure to loosen the set screws prior to repositioning the supply and output con- nections may cause the enclosing tube to loosen, resulting in the possible leakage of the process liquid or vapor. 3. loosen the transmitter head lock screws (socket type) and position conduit outlet in the desired direction. see figure 7. 4. retighten lock screws. note: since the transmitter head is rotatable through 360o, it is impor- tant to make certain that the controller locking screws are tight before making electrical connections. 2.5 wiring caution: all versions of the e3 modulevel transmitter operate at voltages of 11C36 vdc. higher voltage will damage the transmitter. wiring between the power supply and the e3 modulevel transmitter should be made using minimum of 18 awg shielded twisted pair instrument cable. wiring must be suit- able for temperatures up to at least +85 c. within the transmitter enclosure, connections are made to the terminal strip and the ground connections. when installing a remote mount e3 transmitter, refer to figures 11 & 12 on page 14 for wiring connections. the directions for wiring the e3 transmitter depend on the application: ? general purpose or non-incendive (cl i, div. 2) ? intrinsically safe ? explosion proof warning! explosion hazard. do not disconnect equipment unless power has been switched off or the area is known to be non-hazardous. liquid level figure 8 chamber type installation side-side process connections
12 48-635 e3 modulevel displacer level transmitter 2.5.1 general purpose or non-incendive (cl i, div. 2) a general purpose installation does not have flammable media present. areas rated non-incendive (cl i, div. 2) have flammable media present only under abnormal conditions. no special electrical connections are required so standard installation methods may be followed. to install general purpose or non-incendive wiring: 1. remove the cover to the wiring compartment of the trans- mitter. install the conduit plug in the unused opening. use ptfe tape/sealant to ensure a liquid-tight connection. 2. install a conduit fitting and pull the supply wires. 3. connect shield to an earth ground at power supply. 4. connect an earth ground wire to the nearest green ground screw. use a minimum 18 awg rated up to 85 c. 5. connect the positive supply wire to the (+) terminal and the negative supply wire to the (-) terminal. 6. replace the cover to the wiring compartment of the transmitter. to install remote mount wiring: 1. install conduit from the remote mounted head to the integral conduit connection of the e3 transmitter (refer to local plant or facility procedures). 2. remove the cover of the remote transmitter, terminal board housing and of the integral terminal board housing. 3. connect one end of the six conductor cable (p/n 037-3226-xxx or 037-3227-xxx) to the integral terminal block and the other end to the terminal block within the remote terminal board housing. be sure to match the six discrete numbered wires with the numbers on each terminal block. see figures 11 & 12 on page 14. 4. connect shield to an earth ground at the power supply. 5. connect an earth ground wire to the nearest green ground screw per local electrical code (not shown in illustration). 6. connect the positive supply wire to the (+) terminal and the negative supply wire to the (-) terminal. 7. replace the covers to the wiring compartment of the transmitter and to both terminal board housings. ensure that all covers are completely tightened down before apply- ing power. red (+) black (-) green ground screws protective conductor terminal (+) (-) figure 9 wiring diagram
13 48-635 e3 modulevel displacer level transmitter 2.5.2 intrinsically safe an intrinsically safe (is) installation potentially has flamma- ble media present. an approved is barrier must be installed in the non-hazardous (safe) area. consult factory for agency drawing. to install intrinsically safe wiring: 1. make sure the is barrier is properly installed in the safe area (refer to local plant or facility procedures). complete the wiring from the barrier to the e3 transmitter. 2. remove the cover to the wiring compartment of the trans- mitter. install the conduit plug in the unused opening. use ptfe tape/sealant to ensure a liquid-tight connection. 3. install a conduit fitting and pull the supply wires. 4. connect shield to an earth ground at power supply. 5. connect an earth ground wire to the nearest green ground screw. 6. connect the positive supply wire to the (+) terminal and the negative supply wire to the (-) terminal. 7. replace the cover to the wiring compartment of the transmitter. 2.5.3 explosion proof explosion proof (xp) is a method of designing equipment for installation in hazardous areas. a hazardous location is an area in which flammable gases or vapors are, or may be, present in the air in quantities sufficient to produce explo- sive or ignitable mixtures. the wiring for the transmitter must be contained in explosion proof conduit extending into the safe area. see agency approvals, section 3.4. to install explosion proof wiring C integral mount: due to the specialized design of the integral e3 transmitter, no explosion proof conduit fitting (ey seal) is required within 18" of the transmitter. an explosion proof conduit fitting (ey seal) is required between the hazardous and safe areas. 1. install explosion proof conduit from the safe area to the conduit connection of the e3 transmitter (refer to local plant or facility procedures). 2. remove the cover to the wiring compartment of the transmitter. 3. connect shield to an earth ground at the power supply. 4. connect an earth ground wire to the nearest green ground screw per local electrical code. use a minimum 18 awg rated up to 85 c. 5. connect the positive supply wire to the (+) terminal and the negative supply wire to the (-) terminal. 6. replace the cover to the wiring compartment of the transmitter before applying power. current meter + C test current meter power supply 24 vdc C + (-) negative (+) positive protective conductor terminal figure 10 g.p./i.s./explosion proof model
14 48-635 e3 modulevel displacer level transmitter note: when operated from a 24 vdc source, the maximum allow- able loop resistance is 620 ohms for e3 modulevels. when using hart, a loop resistance of 250 to 450 ohms must be placed in series with the e3 modulevel. see figure 16 on page 39. caution: instrument and conduit junction box covers must be in place and tightly sealed at all times during operation. to install explosion proof wiring C remote mount: 1. install explosion proof conduit from the remote mounted e3 transmitter head to the integrally mounted terminal housing at the lvdt. an explosion proof conduit fitting (ey seal) is required within 18" of the remote mounted transmitter head wiring housing (see figure 11). follow steps 2 through 7 of remote mount wiring procedure on page 12. integral terminal board remote terminal board integral wiring & lvdt housings remote wiring & transmitter housings white black green black red black white black green black red black conduit seal within 18" of this housing entry for explosion proof installation figure 11 remote mount wiring connections figure 12 integral & remote terminal boards 123456 white black green black red black
15 48-635 e3 modulevel displacer level transmitter 2.6 configuring the transmitter the e3 modulevel transmitter comes calibrated from the factory. information on configuring the transmitter using a hart communicator is given in configuration using hart, section 2.7. 2.6.1 operating parameters some key information is needed to configure the e3 trans- mitter. complete the configuration information table. see configuration information, section 1.1.2. 2.6.2 transmitter display and keypad the e3 transmitter has a liquid-crystal display (lcd) capa- ble of showing two lines of 8 characters each. transmitter measurements and configuration menu screens are shown on the lcd. the transmitter default display is the measurement screen. it cycles every 5 seconds to display status, level, %output, and loop information. the transmitter defaults to this display after 5 minutes of keypad inactivity. the keypad has three butons used to scroll through the dis- plays and to calibrate the transmitter C the and keys and the key. function in function in arrows display mode configuration mode up and down moves forward and backward increases or decreases the in the configuration program value displayed or moves to from one display to another. another choice. note: hold arrow key for rapid scrolling. enter enters the configuration mode accepts a value and returns (noted by an exclamation point to the display mode. as the last character in the top display line).
16 48-635 e3 modulevel displacer level transmitter 2.6.3 password protection (default = 0) the e3 transmitter is password protected to restrict access to certain portions of the menu structure that affect the operation of the system. when the proper password is entered, an exclamation point (!) appears as the last charac- ter of the first line of the display. the password can be changed to any numerical value up to 255. the password is required whenever configuration values are changed. the default password installed in the transmitter at the fac- tory is 0 (password disabled). the last step in the configura- tion menu provides the option to enter a new password. if 0 is entered as a password, the transmitter is no longer pass- word protected and any value in the menu can be altered (except factory diagnostic values) without entering a con- firming password. note: if the password is not known, the menu item new password displays an encrypted value representing the present pass- word. call the factory with this encrypted value to determine the actual password. 2.6.4 calibration defaults the e3 modulevel transmitter comes from the factory already calibrated. the default configuration is set up such that the level range is the length of the displacer with the 4 ma set point at the bottom of the range and the 20 ma point at the top. field calibration is not required, but each unit must be configured for the process operating condi- tions. level measurement applications require that the operating temperature and operating specific gravity be entered via the keypad and lcd display. for interface and density measurement applications, only the operating temperature must be entered. while not necessary nor recommended, the e3 modulevel can be calibrated in the actual process. this is accom- plished by selecting the user calibration rather than the factory calibration. once in the user calibration, liquid level can be moved to the low and high calibration points and the sensor values for the low and high calibration points can be captured. see procedure on page 36. 2.6.5 menu: step-by-step procedure the following table provides a complete explanation of the software menus displayed by the e3 transmitter. use this table as a step-by-step guide to configure the transmitter. the second column presents the menus shown on the transmitter display. the displays are in the order they would appear if the arrow keys were used to scroll through the menu.

27 48-635 e3 modulevel displacer level transmitter 3.0 reference information this section presents an overview of the operation of the e3 electronic modulevel displacer level transmitter, information on troubleshooting common problems, listings of agency approvals, lists of replacement and recommended spare parts, and detailed physical, functional, and perform- ance specifications. 3.1 description the e3 modulevel is a loop-powered, two-wire, 24 vdc level transmitter which utilizes simple buoyancy principles in combination with a precision range spring and a highly accurate lvdt (linear variable differential transformer) to detect and convert liquid level movement into a stable 4C20 ma output signal. the electronics are housed in an ergonomic, dual-compartment enclosure which is angled for ease of wiring and calibration. 3.2 theory of operation the electronic modulevel displacer level transmitter relies on the principles of buoyancy to convert mechanical move- ment to an electronic output. see figure 14. 3.2.1 displacer/range spring according to archimedes principle, the buoyancy force act- ing on an object immersed in liquid is equal to the mass of the liquid displaced. as the level changes, the volume of displacer submerged in the liquid changes, thus varying the buoyancy force acting on the displacer. this change is detected by the precision range spring from which the dis- placer hangs, causing it to elongate or compress. the change in spring length causes movement of a special lvdt core which is mounted on a rigid stem attached to the spring. 3.2.2 lvdt e3 modulevel utilizes highly precise lvdt technology to convert the movement of the lvdt core within the lvdt to a stable 4C20 ma output signal. the position of the core with respect to a primary and two secondary windings with- in the lvdt, induces a voltage in each winding. the com- parison of the induced voltages within the microprocessor of the e3 results in very accurate level output. moving l vdt core range spring displacer external cage electronics enclosure printed circuit board wiring board lvdt stem keypad display enclosing tube figure 14 electronic modulevel components
28 48-635 e3 modulevel displacer level transmitter 3.2.3 interface e3 modulevel is capable of tracking the interface level of two immiscible liquids with different densities. each unit is custom-made with a displacer specially designed for the users application. this allows it to detect the position of a clean interface or an emulsion layer and convert it into a stable 4C20 ma signal. contact the factory for assistance in specifying an e3 for interface service. note that for proper interface detection, the entire displacer must always be immersed in liquid. 3.2.4 density yet another capability of e3 modulevel is to track the changing density of a liquid over a known density range and convert that into a stable 4C20 ma output signal. as the density of the liquid changes, so does the mass of the liquid displaced by the specially designed displacer. the resulting change in buoyancy force on the displacer causes the move- ment of the lvdt core necessary to convert the density change to the 4C20 ma signal. 3.3 troubleshooting the e3 modulevel displacer transmitter is designed, engi- neered and constructed for trouble-free operation over a wide range of operating and application conditions. below, common transmitter problems are discussed in terms of their symptoms and corrective actions. warning! explosion hazard. do not remove covers unless power has been switched off or the area is known to be non- hazardous. use of the included pact ware ? pc program is highly recommended and invaluable for troubleshooting and advanced calibration. a hart rs232 or usb modem (purchased separately) is required. see magnetrol pact ware ? bulletin 59-101. warning! other than operation of the push-buttons to enter param- eter data, live maintenance is not permitted.
