Use this manual in conjunction with the transmitter instruction manual. The Model 1159 Remote Seal is intended for use in nuclear power stations where stringent quality control of design and manufacturing processes is necessary to ensure high reliability over an extended service life.
The presence of air in the fill fluid will cause poor performance. If fill fluid is lost due to damage to the remote seal system, it must be replaced at Rosemount. Static Head Effects If the diaphragm seal and transmitter are installed at different elevations, a zero error occurs due to static head effects.
A misaligned gasket may cause a false reading. Remote Seal Installation Due to infinite mounting configurations, mounting of the remote seal is the responsibility of the customer. Refer to Rosemount Report Considerations D8300151—Qualification Report for Water Filled Remote Seal System, for mounting details during qualification testing.
Model 1159 Remote Diaphragm Seals Transmitters with remote diaphragm seals are frequently installed with the transmitter and seal or seals at different elevations. In installations of this type there will be a zero shift that must be corrected prior to operation.
