Use a hard hat. Warning! Read and understand this instruction manual before installing, operating or performing maintenance on the Varec Model 4120 Multi-Element Temperature Transmitter. Follow all precautions and warnings noted herein when installing, operating or perform- ing maintenance on this equipment.
The METT converts the resistance values to engineering units and transmits the information over the HART bus. It is designed for use with the Varec Model 4100 Multifunction Transmitter, Model 4200 Hydrostatic Interface Unit or any other HART host.
4120 Installation The Varec Model 4120 Multi-Element Temperature Transmitter is housed in a NEMA 4X enclosure and is designed to meet FM, CSA, and CENELEC intrinsically safe approvals. The METT mounts directly to a standard (API 2543) averaging temperature bulb such as the Varec Model 9909.

4120 Section 2 - Operation The functional blocks of the Varec Model 4120 Multi-Element Temperature Transmitter are described below. Temperature The METT handles three temperature system configurations as follows. Configurations API Averaging Bulb. API standard 2543 is used. An API averaging bulb has elements at 3', 5', 7', 10', 14', 20', 26', 32', and 40' for a 50' tank.
Interface. The Rosemount Model 268 may be used if available. The METT supports the Interface ASCII interface in a similar manner to the Varec Model 4110 HART Level Encoder (LE). That is, it answers to two different HART addresses. The first address is its address for normal operation.

Multi-Element Temperature Transmitter Section 4 - MFT/HIU and TankView Support for the METT MFT/HIU Support Model 4100 Multi Function Transmitter (MFT) and Model 4200 Hydrostatic Interface Unit (HIU) versions 1.6 and above include specific support for the METT. • The MFT allows setting of the METT's HART address. It will expect it to be at address 5.
4120 Section 5 - HART Protocol Implementation This section describes the HART implementation details for the METT. HART devices can return up to four dynamic variables with a single read. The METT has many more variables. HART devices have a mechanism that allows internal transmitter variables to be mapped to dynamic variables.
Multi-Element Temperature Transmitter METT Device Specific The following METT device specific HART commands allow the level to be written and HART Commands the configuration information to be read and written. HART Command # Description Write level Read temperature configuration Write temperature configuration Read temperature element height Write temperature element height Each command is defined along with the expected request and reply data.
