    “the ability to operate multiple devices in the same system, regardless of manufacturer, without a loss of functionality.” All F fieldbus devices must be tested for ™ OUNDATION interoperability by the Fieldbus Foundation. Magnetrol ® E3 MODULEVEL F fieldbus device registration ™ OUNDATION information can be found at www.fieldbus.org.

    DDs are similar to the drivers that your personal computer (PC) uses to operate peripheral devices connected to it. Any Fieldbus host system can operate with a device if it has the proper DD and Common File Format (CFF) for that device. The most recent DD and CFF files can be found on the fieldbus web site at fieldbus.org.
  • Page 7: Quickstart Installation

    QuickStart Installation Getting Started 2.1.1 Equipment and tools No special equipment or tools are required to install E3 MODULEVEL. The following items are recommended: • Wrenches, flange gaskets and flange bolting appropriate for process connection(s) • Flat-blade screwdriver • Level •...

    3. 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. 4.
  • Page 9: Quickstart Configuration

    QuickStart Configuration The E3 MODULEVEL transmitter comes configured with default values from the factory but can be reconfigured in the shop. The minimum configuration instructions required in the field follow. Use the information from the operating parameters table in Section 2.1.2 before beginning configuration.

    Model Number Serial Number 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.
  • Page 11: Before You Begin

    Before You Begin 3.3.1 Site Preparation Each E3 MODULEVEL transmitter is built to match the physical specifications of the required installation. Ensure that the process connection(s) on the vessel matches the MODULEVEL process connection(s). ounting, Section 3.4. Ensure that the wiring between the power supply and MODULEVEL transmitter are complete and correct for the type of installation.

    E3C, E3D, E3E, E3F – 1500# 400–450 ft-lbs E3C, E3D, E3E, E3F – 2500# 675–725 ft-lbs 3.4.1 tank top installation (E3a & E3B) Figure 6 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 unob- structed entry into the vessel.
  • Page 13: External Chamber Installation

    • 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 7 for a typical stilling well installation. • The process temperature, pressure and specific gravity are within the unit’s specifications for installation.
  • Page 14: Wiring

    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 12.
  • Page 15: General Purpose Or Non-Incendive

    3.5.1 General Purpose or non-incendive (Cl i, div. 2) A general purpose installation does not have flammable (-) negative media present. Areas rated non-incendive (Cl I, Div. 2) have (+) positive flammable media present only under abnormal conditions. No special electrical connections are required so standard installation methods may be followed.
  • Page 16: Explosion Proof

    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. After IS barrier installation, follow General Purpose and White Non-incendive wiring procedure on page 15.

    Modulevel ® Transducer Block The MODULEVEL TRANSDUCER block is a custom block containing parameters that support the E3 MODULEVEL level transmitter. It contains the model attributes, diagnos- tics, and calibration data, and outputs a measured value with status information. The TRANSDUCER block parameters are grouped in a useful configuration.
  • Page 22: E3 Modulevel

    Transducer Block is the desired level reading when the liquid is at the zero reference point of the E3 MODULEVEL. On the top mounted models E3A and E3B, the zero refer- ence is the bottom of the displacer (not including the hook).
  • Page 23 Should the E3 require replacement of any parts in the field, a user calibration must be performed after changing out any of the following original parts: Bezel assembly, LVDT assembly, range spring, stem assembly, or displacer. The fol- lowing procedure should be followed when performing a user calibration in the field.

    Damping Filter is a feature of the AI block. PV_FTIME parameter is time constant of a single exponential filter for the PV, in seconds. This parameter can be used to dampen out fluctuation in level due to excessive turbulence. The AI block has multiple ALARM functions that monitor the OUT parameter for out of bound conditions.

    PID Block The PID Function Block contains the logic necessary to per- form Proportional/Integral/Derivative (PID) control. The block provides filtering, set point limits and rate limits, feedfor- ward support, output limits, error alarms, and mode shedding. Although most other function blocks perform functions specific to the associated device, the PID block may reside in any device on the network.
