    STOP. Do not proceed without first verifying that a hazardous condition does not exist. This task may not be undertaken until proper protection has been accomplished, or the hazardous condition has been removed. Personal injury or fatality could result. Examples of these warnings include: Removal of enclosure cover(s) in a hazardous location must follow guidelines stipulated in the Certification Drawings shipped with this unit.

    1 System description Overview The XFC 6200/6201EX (G4 EX) is a next generation solution for the pre-existing generation 3 XFC6200/6201EX. The G4 EX now incorporates the same 32-bit technology currently used by the G4 XSeries products. By using 32-bit technology, ®...
  • Page 16: Capabilities

    1.1.1 Capabilities The G4 EX is packaged in a small, explosion-proof cast aluminum enclosure which accommodates the processor board, termination board and display. The power supply, charging source and radio communication applications must be housed in separate accommodations. See Figure 1–1. For the G4 EX, the integral multivariable transducer (EXIMV) is a separate unit with no internal electronics and is attached to the bottom of the enclosure via a threaded neck.

    Choosing a log period of less than 60 minutes will result in additional records being logged. As a result, this requires more storage space to hold a full day’s data. The log period must never be less than the volume calculation period. 1.1.4.2 Volume calculation period entries Volume calculation period entries are made every second, by default.
  • Page 20: Figure 1-2 Liquid Crystal Display (Lcd) And Indicators

    In the G4 EX computer, the status and alarm indicators are user programmable. Table 1–3 identifies the default annunciator locations. Please consult the PCCU32 Help Files for additional instructions on programming the annunciators. Whenever an alarm is indicated, the G4 EX records it in the appropriate log period flow record.

    4–20 milliamp transmitters 6.3.1 Powering 4–20 Milliamp Transmitters 4-20 milliamp (mA) transmitters are essentially variable constant current sources. They need to have sufficient voltage applied to them to insure that they will be able to drive 20 mA onto a 250 OHM load. Different transmitter technologies will have different powering requirements.

    Another possible solution would be to reduce the 250 OHM resistor to a small value, possibly 125 OHMs. An under- powered transmitter could more easily drive 20 mA into the lesser resister. Field calibrating the AI would negate any differences between the 250 OHM and the 125 OHM resistors.
