AMS Aware Components The Level Plus Model MR liquid level transmitter consists of four main components; a housing, outer pipe, float, and electronics. Varying the components of the transmitter allows the transmitter to be customized to almost any application.
(RTD) mounted inside the transmitter’s outer pipe assembly. The RTD is a 1000 ohm platinum film device. ACCESSORIES MTS also offers a series of displays, housings, converters, and other accessories, please refer to the ‘Accessories Catalog’, MTS part number 551103.

Stilling wells and guide poles Level Plus transmitters can be mounted in slotted or unslotted stilling wells but a slotted stilling well is always preferred. Using a unslotted stilling well will negatively affect performance of any level device as the level in the stilling well can differ from the level in the tank. The Level Plus transmitter can also be installed to one side of the stilling well to also allow for sampling and manual gauging from the same opening as the automatic tank gauging.
Tighten the adjustable fitting to hold the transmitter in place. 7. Terminate the field wire cables noting proper wire orientation. Level Plus ® Liquid-Level Transmitters - M-Series Model MR Analog Transmitter Operation and Installation Manual, Part No.: 550720 Revision K (EN) 02/2016...

FLOAT MAINTENANCE Level Plus M-Series transmitters use magnetostrictive technology and only have one moving part—the float. This technology ensures no scheduled maintenance or recalibration is required. However, MTS recommends that you check the transmitter pipe annually for build up of process material.
Loop 2 Test + — + — operation. You can use these modes to calibrate and set up various operating parameters. Level Plus ® Run Mode M-Series Transmitter Run mode is the primary mode of operation. This mode will perform Custom LCD Display measurements, display data, and respond to HART commands.
MANUAL CALIBRATION The procedure to enter calibration mode and modify levels 1 and 2, adjust LCD contrast and perform a LCD testis shown in Figure 15 on the next page.
