Quick Start Guide DLC3010 Digital Level Controller February 2016 D103214X012 Installation WARNING To avoid personal injury, always wear protective gloves, clothing, and eyewear when performing any installation operations. 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.

Page 4 Quick Start Guide DLC3010 Digital Level Controller February 2016 D103214X012 Configuration: On the Bench or in the Loop Configure the digital level controller before or after installation. It may be useful to configure the instrument on the bench before installation to ensure proper operation, and to familiarize yourself with its functionality. Protecting the Coupling and Flexures CAUTION Damage to flexures and other parts can cause measurement errors.
Page 5 Quick Start Guide DLC3010 Digital Level Controller February 2016 D103214X012 CAUTION When shipping an instrument mounted on a sensor, if the lever assembly is coupled to the linkage, and the linkage is constrained by the displacer blocks, use of the lever lock may result in damage to bellows joints or flexure. 2.

Page 8: Mounting
Quick Start Guide DLC3010 Digital Level Controller February 2016 D103214X012 Mounting Mounting the 249 Sensor The 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 3. If the sensor has a cageless displacer, the sensor mounts on the side or top of the vessel as shown in figure 4.
Page 9 Quick Start Guide DLC3010 Digital Level Controller February 2016 D103214X012 DLC3010 Orientation Mount the digital level controller with the torque tube shaft clamp access hole (see figure 2) pointing downward to allow accumulated moisture drainage. Note If alternate drainage is provided by the user, and a small performance loss is acceptable, the instrument can be mounted in 90 degree rotational increments around the pilot shaft axis.

Page 11 Quick Start Guide DLC3010 Digital Level Controller February 2016 D103214X012 Mounting the Digital Level Controller for Extreme Temperature Applications Refer to figure 7 for parts identification except where otherwise indicated. The digital level controller requires an insulator assembly when temperatures exceed the limits shown in figure 8. A torque tube shaft extension is required for a 249 sensor when using an insulator assembly.
Page 12 Quick Start Guide DLC3010 Digital Level Controller February 2016 D103214X012 1. For mounting a digital level controller on a 249 sensor, secure the shaft extension to the sensor torque tube shaft via the shaft coupling and set screws, with the coupling centered as shown in figure 7. 2.
Page 13: Electrical Connections
Quick Start Guide DLC3010 Digital Level Controller February 2016 D103214X012 Electrical Connections WARNING Select wiring and/or cable glands that are rated for the environment of use (such as hazardous area, ingress protection and temperature). Failure to use properly rated wiring and/or cable glands can result in personal injury or property damage from fire or explosion.
Page 14 Quick Start Guide DLC3010 Digital Level Controller February 2016 D103214X012 determine the required lift‐off voltage. If you know your total loop resistance you can determine the lift‐off voltage. If you know the available supply voltage, you can determine the maximum allowable loop resistance. If the power supply voltage drops below the lift‐off voltage while the transmitter is being configured, the transmitter may output incorrect information.

Page 16 Quick Start Guide DLC3010 Digital Level Controller February 2016 D103214X012 Power/Current Loop Connections Use ordinary copper wire of sufficient size to ensure that the voltage across the digital level controller terminals does not go below 12.0 volts DC. Connect the current signal leads as shown in figure 9. After making connections, recheck the polarity and correctness of connections, then turn the power on.
Page 17 Quick Start Guide DLC3010 Digital Level Controller February 2016 D103214X012 Alarm Jumper Each digital level controller continuously monitors its own performance during normal operation. This automatic diagnostic routine is a timed series of checks repeated continuously. If diagnostics detect a failure in the electronics, the instrument drives its output to either below 3.70 mA or above 22.5 mA, depending on the position (HI/LO) of the alarm jumper.

Page 19 Guided Setup directs you through initialization of configuration data needed for proper operation. When the instrument comes out of the box, the default dimensions are set for the most common Fisher 249 construction, so if any data is unknown, it is generally safe to accept the defaults. The mounting sense 'instrument left or right of displacer' - is important for correct interpretation of positive motion.

Page 26 Quick Start Guide DLC3010 Digital Level Controller February 2016 D103214X012 Two point: Use any two interface levels that actually fall on the displacer. Accuracy is better if the levels are farther apart. The result should be close if you can move the level even 10%. Theoretical: If the level cannot be changed at all, you can enter a theoretical value for torque tube rate manually then Trim Zero to adjust the output to the current independent observation of the process condition.
