    2. Using a level, verify that the vessel mounting flange is level in all directions within 3°. 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.

  • Page 6: 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 1.1.2 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.

  • Page 8: Before You Start

    Before You Begin 2.3.1 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). See Mounting, Section 2.4. Ensure that the wiring between the power supply and MODULEVEL transmitter are complete and correct for the type of installation.

  • Page 9: Mounting

    Mounting The E3 MODULEVEL transmitter can be mounted to a tank using a variety of configurations and process connections. Generally, either a threaded, welded or flanged connection is used with an external cage. A flanged connection is always used on a tank top model. For information about the sizes and types of connections available, see Model Numbers, Section 3.7.

    • 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 6 for a typical stilling well installation. • The process temperature, pressure and specific gravity are within the unit’s specifications for installation.

  • Page 11: 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 9.

  • Page 12: General Purpose Or Non-Incendive (Cl I, Div. 2)

    2.5.1 General Purpose or Non-Incendive (Cl I, Div. 2) A general purpose installation does not have flammable media present. Areas rated non-incendive (Cl I, Div. 2) have flammable media present only under abnormal conditions. No special electrical connections are required so standard installation methods may be followed.

  • Page 13: Intrinsically Safe

    2.5.2 Intrinsically Safe An intrinsically safe (IS) installation potentially has flamma- (-) negative (+) positive ble media present. An approved IS barrier must be installed in the non-hazardous (safe) area. Consult factory for agency drawing. To install Intrinsically Safe wiring: Power Supply 1.
  • Page 14 NOTE: When operated from a 24 VDC source, the maximum allow- able loop resistance is 620 ohms for E3 MODULEVEL units. When using HART, a loop resistance of 250 to 450 ohms must be placed in series with the E3 MODULEVEL. See Figure 16 on page 39.

  • Page 15: Configuring The Transmitter

    Configuring the Transmitter The E3 MODULEVEL transmitter comes calibrated from the factory. Information on configuring the transmitter using a HART communicator is given in Configuration Using HART, Section 2.7. 2.6.1 Operating Parameters Some key information is needed to configure the E3 trans- mitter.

  • Page 16: Password Protection (Default = 0)

    2.6.3 Password Protection (Default = 0) The E3 transmitter is password protected to restrict access to certain portions of the menu structure that affect the operation of the system. When the proper password is entered, an exclamation point (!) appears as the last charac- ter of the first line of the display.

  • Page 25: Configuration Using Hart

    Configuration Using HART Since E3 transmitter supports the HART (Highway Addressable Remote Transducer) communication protocol, configuration tools, such as a HART 375/475 handheld communicator, can be used to provide a communication link to the E3 transmitter. When connected to the control loop, the same system measurement readings shown on the transmitter are shown on the communicator.
