uids, or the specific gravity (density) changes of a liquid. These changes exert a buoyant force on the displacer, which rotates the torque tube shaft. This rotary motion is applied to the transmitter, and the resulting current output signal is sent to an indicating or final control element.

A wide variety of 249 Series sensors are used with the Type 2390 or 2390B transmitters.

249 Series Sensors

Only personnel qualified through training or experience should install, operate, and maintain this transmitter. If there are any questions concerning these instructions contact your Fisher Controls sales office or sales representative before proceeding.

Refer to Repair Kits under Parts List in this instruction manual for a tool kit for the Type 2390 transmitter.

Installation WARNING Personal injury or property damage due to sudden release of pressure, contact with hazardous fluid, fire, or explosion can be caused by puncturing, heating, or repairing a displacer that is retaining process pressure or fluid. This danger may not be readily apparent when disassembling the sensor or removing the displacer. Before disassembling the sensor or removing the displacer, observe the appropriate warnings provided in the sensor instruction manual.

The Type 249 sensor is mounted using one of two methods, depending on the specific type of sensor. If the sensor has a caged displacer, it typically mounts on the side of the vessel as shown in figure 5. If the sensor has a cageless displacer, the sensor mounts on the side or top of the vessel as shown in figure 6.

Pre-installation Requirements Note Caged sensors have a rod and block installed on each end of the displacer to protect the displacer in shipping. Remove these parts before installing the sensor to allow the displacer to function properly.

Before installing the transmitter, determine that the instrument is set up properly for direct or reverse action. Direct action (increasing level produces an increasing output) or reverse action (increasing level produces a decreasing output) is set up as shown in figure 7, depending on whether the sensor is right- or left-hand mounted. If your transmitter is set up incorrectly, refer to the table in figure 7 before proceeding with the installation. When changing action, the plug must be rotated 180 degrees to insert it in the other socket. (The wires from the plug exit toward the top of the transmitter when in J2 and toward the bottom when in J2.1, in order to engage the locking tangs on the connectors.) On units with an output indicator, the indicator mounting screws may have to be loosened to allow easy access to the J2.1 socket.

Transmitter Orientation Mount the transmitter with the vent opening pointing downward to allow accumulated moisture drainage.

The transmitter and torque tube arm are attached to the displacer in either a right- or left-hand mounting style, as shown in figure 8. This can be changed in the field on the 249 Series sensors (refer to the appropriate sensor instruction manual). Changing the mount-

ing style also changes the effective action, because the torque tube rotation for increasing level, (looking at the protruding shaft), is clockwise in a right hand mounted unit and counterclockwise in a left hand mounted unit. See table in Figure 7 for required configuration adjustment.

All caged 249 Series sensors have a rotatable head.

That is, the transmitter can be positioned at any of eight alternate positions around the cage as indicated by the position numbers 1 through 8 in figure 8. To rotate the head, remove the head flange bolts and nuts and position the head as desired.

Mounting the Transmitter on a 249 Series Sensor Key numbers are referenced in figure 21 or 22 except where otherwise indicated.

1. Remove the vent plug (figure 9) and loosen the shaft clamp (figure 9) with a hex nut driver inserted through the vent plug hole.

2. Remove the hex nuts (key 62) from the mounting studs (key 61).

CAUTION Measurement errors can occur if the torque tube assembly is bent or misaligned during installation.

Key numbers are shown in figure 10 except where otherwise indicated.

The transmitter requires an insulator assembly when temperatures exceed the limits shown in figure 11.

A torque tube shaft extension is required for a 249 Series sensor when using an insulator assembly.

CAUTION Measurement errors can occur if the sensor torque tube assembly is bent or misaligned during installation.

1. For mounting a transmitter on a 249 Series sensor, secure the shaft extension (key 37) to the sensor torque tube shaft via the shaft coupling (key 36) and set screws (key 38), with the coupling centered as shown in figure 10.

2. Remove the vent plug (figure 9) and loosen the shaft clamp with the hex nut driver inserted through the vent plug hole.

3. Remove the hex nuts (key 62, figure 21 or 22) from the mounting studs (key 61, figure 21 or 22).

4. Position the insulator (key 35) on the transmitter, sliding the insulator straight over the mounting studs.

5. Re-install the four hex nuts on the mounting studs and tighten the nuts.

6. Carefully slide the transmitter with the attached insulator over the shaft coupling so that the vent plug is on the bottom of the transmitter.

7. Secure the transmitter and insulator to the torque tube arm with four cap screws (key 39).

8. Tighten the cap screws to 88.5 lbf#in (10 N#m).

tions are applicable to the Type 2390B with LCIE approval of flameproof. If there is a possibility that the temperature of the surface to which the transmitter is mounted will exceed 70"C, then the autoignition temperature of the atmosphere surrounding the transmitter must be at least 15"C greater than the surface temperature, but not less than 85"C. For example, a surface temperature of 75"C would require that the atmosphere have an autoignition temperature of at least 90"C. Note For intrinsically safe applications, refer to the loop schematics at the end of this manual or to instructions supplied by the barrier manufacturer.

The transmitter is normally powered by a 24-volt power supply in series with a load. Figure 12 shows typical field wiring.

Wiring WARNING Personal injury or property damage can result if a suitable conduit seal is not installed. For explosion-proof applications, install the seal no more than 18 inches (457 mm) from the transmitter.

WARNING To avoid personal injury or property damage, the following special condi-

Wire the transmitter as follows: 1. Remove the field wiring compartment cover (key 38, figure 21 or 22) from the housing (key 1, figure 21 or 22). This compartment has two threaded openings available for fittings.

Note For European applications, the Type 2390B can be wired with a conduit entry adapter or cable gland (key 42, figure 22). Figure 12 shows typical field wiring.

Be sure to follow all local codes and approvals.

Calibration Precalibration Considerations A Type 2390 or 2390B transmitter must be matched to a specific Type 249 sensor and then calibrated with that sensor to a specific process requirement. Thus, before a transmitter and sensor combination can be installed for use, matching and calibration must be performed.

The matching procedure records the displacer/torque tube rotational span on the transmitter dry span scale.

The scale is calibrated so that 0 to 100% represents the nominal design span of 4.4 degrees. The sensitivity of the system varies due to the wide assortment and tolerances of torque tubes and displacer volumes.

For standard combinations using water at 70"F (21"C) as the measured liquid, the value of the sensitivity will fall between 85 and 100%.

Type 2390 and 2390B Matching is done at the factory, using water with a specific gravity of 1, for transmitter/sensor combinations that are ordered together. Matching must be done in the field when: ! the transmitter is ordered separately from the sensor, ! the transmitter is replaced in the field, ! any time the sensor or sensor parts (torque tube or displacer) are replaced, or

ing the actual process. The various compensations for specific gravity and temperature are accounted for in the calculation of calibration weights.

Once the instrument is matched to the sensor using one of the two methods, you can use the Dry Span Scale system to rerange the instrument (change the zero and span). This method artificially drives the mechanical input to the computed set points relative to the nominal calibration supplied by the Wet Calibration or Calibration by Weights methods. Therefore, dry calibration can be performed only after the instrument has been matched to the sensor.

! any time the transmitter is disconnected from the torque tube.

Note If the transmitter is disconnected from the torque tube, and none of the other conditions listed occured, then only the coupling steps of the matching procedure need to be performed.

One of two methods may be used to match the transmitter to the sensor: ! Wet Calibration—this method calibrates the instrument by raising and lowering the fluid level while the displacer is in the fluid. This is the most accurate method. ! Calibration by Weights—this method may be used on the bench, the displacer is removed from the torque tube. Here, computed weights are used to simulate the combined displacer weight and buoyant force.

If possible, the system should be coupled and calibrated with the process fluids at the process temperature. When this is impractical or unsafe, various means may be employed to simulate actual process conditions.

If the process temperature is close to ambient conditions, simply suspend the displacer to appropriate depths in a liquid having a specific gravity equal to that of the process liquid. For a caged sensor, the liquid used can be poured into the cage. If necessary, water can be used for matching in the shop. If water is used, compensation must be made for the difference between the specific gravity of water and that of the process liquid by scaling the levels used by the fluid specific gravity.

If the process temperature will be considerably different than the calibration temperature, the variation in torque tube spring rate with temperature must also be considered. (Ref. TM!18) In some cases calibration by weights may be the only feasible means of simulat-

Note A transmitter factory-mounted on a sensor is already matched and does not require the matching procedure. The matching is performed using water with a specific gravity of 1 or with appropriate weights, and the scale is marked at full actual travel (span) and will be the larger value on the appropriate scale.

Before starting the matching procedure, confirm that the transmitter is correctly set up and installed on the sensor as described in the “Installation” section.

Matching the Transmitter to a 249 Series Sensor All locations in this procedure are referenced in figure 13 unless otherwise indicated. The transmitter should be installed on the torque tube arm, with the shaft clamp (figure 9) loose.

Coupling 1. Turn the dry span knob to 0 percent using the appropriate right- or left-hand dry span scale.

Type 2390 and 2390B 2. Set the displacer to the lowest possible process condition, (i.e. lowest water level or minimum specific gravity, highest temperature) or replace the displacer by the heaviest calibration weight.

10. Loosen the torque tube shaft clamp nut.

11. Move the spring wire to the R holding position.

12. Determine a new coupling position from the following:

Note Interface or density applications with displacer/torque tube sized for a small total change in specific gravity are designed to be operated with the displacer always submerged. In these applications, the torque rod is sometimes resting on a stop while the displacer is dry.

The torque tube does not begin to move until a considerable amount of liquid has covered the displacer. In this case, it is necessary to couple with the displacer submerged in the fluid with the lowest density and the highest process temperature condition, or to an equivalent condition simulated with the calculated weights,

New coupling % = (!1) (dry span scale reading in step 9) Example: X% = (–1) (–10) X% = +10 Example: X% = (–1) (+7) X% = –7 13. Move the dry span knob to the new coupling position.

14. Retighten the torque tube shaft clamp nut.

15. Return the spring wire to the neutral (center) position.

3. Move the spring wire to the R holding position.

Note 4. Remove the vent plug and insert the hex nut driver into the hole and onto the torque tube shaft clamp nut.

Tighten to a maximum torque of 18 lbf#in. (2.1 N#m).

5. Return the spring wire to its neutral (center) position.

Note The spring wire must be in the neutral (center) position for operation in the automatic mode.

The spring wire must be in the neutral (center) position for operation in the automatic mode.

16. Turn the dry span knob to the AUTO position.

17. Use the zero potentiometer (marked “Z”) to adjust the output current as follows: ! For direct action: adjust the output current to 4 mA

6. Turn the dry span knob to the AUTO position.

! For reverse action: adjust the output current to 20 mA

7. Use the zero potentiometer (marked “Z”) to adjust the output current as follows:

18. Slowly turn the dry span knob until the output current reading barely begins to move off the zero value.

! For direct action: adjust the output current to 4 mA. ! For reverse action: adjust the output current to 20 mA. 8. Determine the point where the cam touches the eccentric pin by slowly turning the dry span knob until the output current begins to move off the zero value.

9. If the resulting dry span scale reading is within !5 percent, go to step 19. If it is not, record the dry span scale reading and proceed with the next step.

Note If the transmitter has been precalibrated for 4 to 20 mA output with reference to 0 to 100% on the dry span scale, (a stand! alone transmitter is shipped in this condition), each dry span scale division indicates 1% of span. With this initial condition, the dry span knob may be rotated till the output current is 1% of span (0.16 mA) inside the current range limit, then align the scale at the 1% mark.

13

Type 2390 and 2390B 19. Loosen the scale set screw.

Note Firmly hold onto the dry span knob while turning the scale.

20. Slip the scale to indicate 0 percent without moving the dry span knob. If you cannot get the scale to the appropriate mark, loosen the dry span knob set screw, re-center the scale, hand tighten the set screw, and return to step 9).

21. Hand Tighten the scale set screw.

22. Return the dry span knob to the AUTO position.

Zero and Span Adjustment 1. Depending on the transmitter action, perform one or the other of the following: ! For direct action: move the displacer to the lowest position (i.e., lowest water level or minimum specific gravity, highest process temperature) or replace the displacer by the heaviest calibration weight. ! For Reverse Action: move the displacer to the desired highest position (i.e., highest water level or maximum specific gravity, lowest process temperature) or replace the displacer by the lightest calibration weight.

2. Turn the dry span knob until the current output is 20 mA for direct action or 4 mA for reverse action.

3. Mark this position on the scale with a felt tip pen and record the scale reading of the mark on a calibration sticker inside the dry span door. (This marked span position is used later in calibrating to specific application requirements).

4. Turn the dry span knob counterclockwise to the AUTO position.

5. Move the spring wire to the neutral (center) position.

Securing the Unit for Shipment or Placing the Unit In Service 1. If the system is to be moved without blocking the displacer before being placed in service (as in skid mounted systems), perform the following: a. Uncouple the transmitter from the torque tube and install the shipping screw. (The spring wire may be hooked in the “L� position to facilitate engaging the shipping screw in the lever assembly threads.) b. Tag the calibration door with the appropriate warning and indicate that the transmitter will need to be re-coupled before placing in service. (When re-coupling, the dry span scale mark will still be correct after the zero is aligned with the dry displacer condition.)

2. Adjust the output current to 4 mA with the zero potentiometer.

2. If the system is being placed in service, or is being moved with the displacer blocked, the shipping screw should be stored in the holding clip inside the door.

3. Depending on the transmitter action, perform one or the other of the following:

3. Close the calibration door and tighten the door screw.

! For Direct Action: move the displacer to the highest position (i.e., highest water level or maximum specific gravity, lowest process temperature) or replace the displacer by the lightest calibration weight. ! For Reverse Action: move the displacer to the lowest position (i.e., lowest water level or minimum specific gravity, highest process temperature) or replace the displacer by the heaviest calibration weight.

4. Adjust the output current to 20 mA with the span potentiometer.

5. Repeat steps 1 and 3 to verify calibration and trim values if necessary.

Recording the Sensor Span 1. To record the sensor output span on the dry span scale, first move the spring wire to the R holding position.

4. Turn the zero and span potentiometer adjustment cover back over the potentiometer adjustment screws and tighten the cover screw.

Determining Suspended Weight for Calibration

CAUTION To avoid overloading a torque tube sized for interface or density applications under dry conditions, consult your Fisher sales office or sales representative for the maximum allowable substitute weight Ws that can be used with your particular construction.

To determine the total weight that must be suspended from the displacer rod to simulate a certain condition

Type 2390 and 2390B of process temperature, fluid level or specific gravity, solve the following equation:

Ws !

"W d # $%# w&(V s)(SG)'(

where: V = Volume of the displacer, in cubic inches (cubic centimeters). '(/4 (displacer diameter)2 x (length of displacer submerged)]

[1 # $(%T)]

where: Ws = Total suspended weight in pounds (kilograms) [should never be less than 0.5 lbs (0.227 kg)].

Note For liquid level control at standard temperature and pressure only, simulate the lower range limit of the input span by hanging the displacer on the displacer rod. For other values of process temperature or input span, remove the displacer and suspend the appropriate weight as determined in the equation above. $ = (% change in torque tube modulus per "F ("C))/100% (Ref. TM-18 or call engineering) %T = (Expected process temperature) ! (temperature of torque tube during calibration), in "F ("C)

hl = Relative length of displacer that is immersed in the lighter fluid. [(length of the displacer immersed in lighter fluid)/(length of the displacer)] SGl = Specific gravity of the lighter fluid at operating temperature. hh = Relative length of displacer that is immersed in the heavier fluid. [(length of the displacer immersed in heavier fluid)/(length of the displacer)] SGh = Specific gravity of the heavier fluid at operating temperature.

Dry Calibration The appropriate Matching the Transmitter to a 249 Series Sensor procedure must have been completed, and its sensitivity recorded, before performing this procedure. All locations referenced in this procedure are shown in figure 13 unless otherwise indicated.

Note

Wd = Weight of the displacer, in pounds (kilograms) [determine by weighing displacer].

Note: for top-mounted sensors, also include the weight of the displacer stem. &w = Density of water (specific gravity = 1.0), 0.0361 pounds per cubic inch (9.992 x 10!4 kilograms per cubic centimeter) Vs = Volume of the displacer, in cubic inches (cubic centimeters), that would be submerged at the level required by the calibration procedure. '(/4 (displacer diameter)2 x (length of displacer submerged)] SG = Specific gravity of the process fluid at operating temperature.

For interface level measurement, the equation becomes:

Ws !

"W d # %# w&(V)[(h l)(SG l) ) (h h)(SG h)]( [1 # $(%T)]

A transmitter factory-mounted on a sensor is already matched and does not require the matching procedure. The matching is performed at room temperature using water with a specific gravity of 1 or with appropriate weights. The scale is marked at full actual travel (span) and will be the larger value on the appropriate scale. If other conditions are used in matching, they should be indicated on a calibration sticker inside the dry span door, If such is the case, the following procedure will not be applicable without modification 1. Loosen the screw on the calibration door and open the door.

2. If the red shipping screw is installed (clamping the lever assembly) in the housing wall, remove it and stow it in the clip on the door. The transmitter is most likely uncoupled from the torque tube. In this case, perform the Coupling steps of the Matching the Transmitter to a 249 Series Sensor procedure before pro-

ceeding. To confirm that the unit is coupled, observe that the spring wire moves as the displacer is lifted

Note Place the shipping screw in the clip provided in the calibration door for reinstallation after completing the calibration procedures if the unit is to be moved.

3. Connect the transmitter to the test equipment per the calibration setup (figure 14) and turn on the power supply and the DVM. 4. Move the spring wire to the R holding position.

5. Loosen the screw on the zero and span potentiometer adjustment cover plate and turn the cover plate to expose the adjustments.

8. Depending on the transmitter action, perform one or the other of the following: ! For direct action, turn the dry span knob to 0 percent on the appropriate scale. ! For reverse action, turn the dry span knob to the calculated 100% scale setting on the appropriate scale.

9. Adjust the zero potentiometer until the output current is 4 mA. 10. Depending on the transmitter action, perform one or the other of the following: ! For direct action, turn the dry span knob to the calculated 100% scale setting on the appropriate scale. ! For reverse action, turn the dry span knob to 0 percent on the appropriate scale.

Note The span control pivots the output transfer characteristic around the 4 mA output point. For this reason, the 4 mA output point is adjusted first with the zero control, for both direct and reverse action.

6. Steps 7 through 12 of this procedure are broken into two parts, one for level applications and one for interface level or density measurement. Perform one or the other of steps 7 through 12 depending upon the application Dry Calibration for Level Applications (Steps 7 through 12) 7. Determine the calculated dry span scale setting (PBprocess) required for 100% level calibration point by using the following formula: PBprocess = (SGprocess) x (PBwater) where: SGprocess = specific gravity of process fluid PBwater = recorded or marked dry span scale value from the wet calibration procedure (equivalent to the mechanical proportional band of

16

11. Adjust the span potentiometer until the output current is 20 mA. 12. Proceed to step 13.

Dry Calibration for Interface Level or Density Measurement Applications (Steps 7 through 12) 7. If the transmitter was initially coupled at dry displacer condition and marked with SG = 1.0, compute the 0% and 100% dry span scale settings for the dry span scale as follows: 0% scale setting = (SGmin) x (PBwater) 100% scale setting = (SGmax) x (PBwater) where: SGmin = lowest specific gravity for density or specific gravity of top phase for interface.

SGmax = highest specific gravity for density or specific gravity of bottom phase for interface PBwater = recorded or marked dry span scale value from the wet calibration procedure (equivalent to the mechanical proportional band of the torque tube when using water at ambient conditions as the process fluid)

Type 2390 and 2390B Note Normal factory matching procedure is done with a specific gravity of 1.0. If a specific gravity other than 1.0 was used in the factory matching procedure, or the transmitter was coupled at other than dry displacer condition, the zero and span settings for the dry span scale and the associated SG values are shown on a label (key 171) on the inside surface of the calibration door. In this case, use the values on the label to confirm the calibration, rather than the formula shown above. The rated accuracy of the dry span scale is only 2.5% of 4.4 degrees and the resolution is about 1% of 4.4 degrees, so its usefulness is limited at low proportional band settings.

8. Depending on the transmitter action, perform one or the other of the following: ! For direct action, turn the dry span knob to 0% on the appropriate scale. ! For reverse action, turn the dry span knob to the calculated 100% scale setting on the appropriate scale.

9. Adjust the zero potentiometer until the output current is 4 mA.

15. Remove the test equipment.

16. Close the calibration door and tighten the door screw.

17. Turn the zero and span potentiometer adjustment cover back over the adjustment shafts and tighten the machine screw.

10. Depending on the transmitter action, perform one or the other of the following: ! For direct action, turn the dry span knob to the calculated 100% scale setting on the appropriate scale. ! For reverse action, turn the dry span knob to 0% on the appropriate scale.

11. Adjust the span potentiometer until the output current is 20 mA. 12. Proceed to step 13.

Principle of Operation A level, density, or interface level change in the measured fluid causes a change in the displacer position (figure 15). This change is transferred to the torque tube assembly. As the measured fluid changes, the torque tube assembly rotates up to 4.4 degrees for a 249 Series sensor, varying the transmitter output between 4 and 20 mA. This conversion is described in the following paragraphs and shown in the block diagram (figure 16).

Dry Calibration Continued (Steps 13 through 17) 13. Move the spring wire to the neutral (center) position.

Note The spring wire must be in the neutral (center) position for operation in the automatic mode.

14. Turn the dry span scale to the AUTO position.

The rotary motion is transferred to the transmitter lever assembly (via a bellows) supported by flexure strips. The rotary motion moves a magnet attached to the lever assembly, changing the magnetic field that is sensed by the Hall-effect position sensor. The sensor then converts the magnetic field signal to an electronic signal.

The electronic signal is ambient-temperature-compensated and amplified by the differential amplifier. The signal is then linearized to compensate for the nonlinearity of the magnetic field. The first and second-order

low pass filters dampen the effects of process turbulence and prevent saturation of the dc amplifier and the current driver. The dc amplifier provides noninteracting zero and span adjustments.

The current driver circuit develops a 4 to 20 mA current output signal proportional to the dc amplifier voltage output. The voltage regulator provides stable supply voltages for the transmitter circuits under varying operating conditions.

Circuits within the transmitter provide reverse polarity protection, transient power surge protection, and electromagnetic interference (EMI) protection.

Maintenance WARNING To avoid personal injury due to fire or explosion, remove electrical power before removing the transmitter in a hazardous area. Do not apply power to the transmitter, with the covers removed, while in a hazardous area.

Troubleshooting Prior to reading the following text, go through the calibration section and check the items as described in the Precalibration Considerations procedure. An im-

18

properly set up transmitter can be the source of the problem. If recalibrating does not clear up the problem, proceed with this section.

Key numbers are shown in figure 21 or 22 unless otherwise indicated.

1. Isolate the problem to the sensor or transmitter.

Set up the transmitter as if to do the calibration procedure shown in figure 14. Then slowly move the displacer up and down by changing the liquid level. The output should follow the change in liquid level.

2. If there is no change in output in step 1, open the calibration door (key 4) and carefully observe the movement of the spring wire on the lever assembly (figure 9) while changing the liquid level. If movement cannot be detected: a. Remove the vent plug (figure 9) and loosen the shaft clamp (figure 9) on the lever assembly (key 12) with the hex nut driver inserted through the vent plug hole. b. Manually move the spring wire (figure 13) up and down and observe the output. If there is no output or an abnormal output is observed the malfunction is in the transmitter. Further troubleshooting of the transmitter can be done by following table 4 and figure 17, or the transmitter can be returned to the factory for repair. If a 0 to 100 percent output can be obtained by moving the spring wire, the transmitter is functional and the problem lies with either the torque tube shaft coupling or the displacer of the sensor. Consult the appropriate Type 249 sensor instruction manual for further instructions on the sensor.

7. Observe the output of the sensor on the DVM while slowly rotating the dry span knob from 0 to 100 percent on the R scale. The DVM reading should be proportional to rotation, as follows: +47 !8 mV at the 0% extreme 0 !7 mV at the 50% position, and !47 !8 mV at the 100% position 8. If the output does not change with rotation, the sensor assembly is not functioning properly. Proceed to step 10.

9. If the output varies but is not within the above specifications, the lever assembly may be damaged or out of alignment. Inspect the lever assembly for damaged or loose flexures, failed bonds on bellows joints, magnet damage, etc. Make any required repairs, or replace with a lever assembly that is known to be in good condition. Perform the Reinstalling the Lever Assembly procedure in the “Maintenance� section of this manual. Then repeat the troubleshooting tests. If the output is still not within specification, proceed to step 10. If the output is within specification, proceed to step 12.

10. Turn the power supply off and measure the resistance between pins 1 and 2 of the sensor output plug P2. If the reading is not between 900 and 1200 ohms, replace the sensor assembly (key 11). If the resistance is within specification, proceed to step 11.

11. Disconnect plug P1 (figure 7) from the printed wiring board and measure between its pins (blue and red wires). If the reading is not between 900 and 1200

2. Turn the dry span scale to the auto position and move the spring wire to the L position to make reinstalling the shipping screw easier.

13. Turn the power supply on.

14. The current should be between 2.08 and 2.12 mA at 70"F (21"C). [If measured at !40"F (!40"C), the current should be approximately 0.05 mA lower than the 70"F (21"C) value. At +176"F (80"C), the current should be approximately 0.05 mA higher than the 70"F (21"C) value.]

3. Re-install the red shipping screw (key 57) that was removed in the “Installation” or “Calibration” section.

15. If the current meets specification but the sensor output is not within the ranges given in step 7 for 100% span (4.4 degree rotation of the input shaft), the sensor assembly sensitivity is non-standard and it must be replaced.

5. Carefully pull the transmitter straight off the sensor torque tube.

16. To replace the sensor, see Removing the Printed Wiring Board Assembly and Removing and Re-Installing the Transmitter Sensor Assembly.
