  • Page 3: Introduction

    Beyond the Basic Setup parameters, the software will allow the user to view the return signal of the MT5000 on the computer screen. As a trouble shooting tool, a screen shot of the waveform may be taken and sent to the factory for analysis.

  • Page 4: Overview

    Installation of rigid probes and flange mounted transmitters may require the use of lifting equipment. Avoid sharp bending of cable probes which can result in poor instrument operation. The lids on the MT5000 housing are sealed with o-rings. To avoid damage to the electronics, both lids should be closed tightly before and after installation.
  • Page 5 This fact will be taken into account in the configuration of the MT5000 (Consult Basic Setup (Section 4.3) on Commissioning).

  • Page 6: Installation

    All Installations 1. Do not mount the MT5000 in the product fill stream. 2. To obtain the best return signal from the product level mount the MT5000 coupler directly into the top of the ves- sel. 3. Do not mount MT5000 single probes using bushings. (Figure 2) 4.

  • Page 7: Shortening Of The Probe

    3.2 Shortening of Probe The MT5000 single rod and cable probe can be cut to length prior to installation. If shortening of the probe is neces- sary, cut the rod or cable to the desired length using a hacksaw. Shortening of coaxial probes in the field is not recommended.

    Display Operation When power is applied to an MT5000 series transmitter, the display will light up with a title screen which shows the model type and the software revision. (Figure 4) This initial power up cycle will last for 3 seconds and the current output of the transmitter will hold at 4.00 mA.

  • Page 9: Jumper Settings

    Three pushbuttons are located on the lower portion of the module faceplate (Figure 8). These buttons will be used to navigate through the setup and configuration menu of the MT5000. Some operations will require the pushbuttons to be used together or held for a period of time to affect a change.

    4.3 BASIC SETUP BASIC SETUP BASIC SETUP is a menu of items that are used to adapt the internal settings of the MT5000 to a particular application. Certain fields are required entry items and will be needed for proper operation of the device. Other entry items are not used for the setup of the transmitter and are listed as optional.

    OFFSET Offset is a value in engineering UNITS which may be entered to compensate for an un- measureable area below a probe or to align the measurement of the MT5000 with another XX.XX in device. The value entered in the Offset will be Added to or subtracted from the LVL indica- tion on the main display.
  • Page 15 If the Measured Level were 21 inches after entering the OFFSET, the local indicator would indicate 25 inches (21 +4) and the 4-20 mAdc signal would indicate a level of 25 inches. Measured Level LVL OFFSET MT5000-0200-1 Rev f (10-2010) DCN0528...

    6. Pressing the SELECT button now will return you to the main display. 4.3.8. MEASURE MODE The MT5000 can be used to measure Media Level or Ullage. Media Level refers to a Level Measurement from the end of the probe to the surface of the liquid level that is measuring the amount of liquid in the tank.

  • Page 17: Language

    4.3.9. LANGUAGE LANGUAGE The MT5000 has been equipped with several different operating languages to assist in the setup of the unit. When a specific language is selected, the titles of the menu items will be English translated. Abbreviations specific to the MT5000 will remain unchanged as icons regardless of language selection.

  • Page 18: Quick Calibration

    The MT5000 will now be fully operational. If a further detailed setup is required you may proceed to the mA OUT- PUT menu, or the Extended Setup menu. If the output of the MT5000 is required to match that of another device, the following alternate procedure may be used.

  • Page 19: Output

    PUT of the MT5000 will be based upon. Selections for OUTPUT are Level and LIN Level Level. Level is the actual linear measurement the MT5000 is interpreting from its con- figuration. LIN Level is the measurement of the MT5000 as it is filtered through the LIN- LVL: XX.XX in XX.XX EARIZATION TABLE (Section 4.6.4.)

    6. Pressing the SELECT button now will return you to the main screen. 4.5.5. ALARM DELAY ALARM DELAY If the MT5000 does not pick up a return signal crossing the threshold it will return an ALARM signal (Section 4.1.1) In an application where the surface of the product may be 2 sec subject to a change in physical state (such as flashing,) the return signal from the product will appear and disappear as the product boils.

  • Page 21: Dac Trim (4Ma And 20Ma)

    The MT5000 is designed as a 2 wire loop powered device. It will generate a mA OUTPUT over a range of 3.61 to 21.00 mA. When an MT5000 is calibrated at the factory, the output of the unit will be set to correspond to a calibrated multi-meter. The exact output is set us- LVL: XX.XX in...

  • Page 22: Hart Address

    LVL: XX.XX in XX.XX to any number from 0 to 15. As a default value, the MT5000 is set with an address of 0. This allows the MT5000 to operate normally. If an address other than 0 is set in the MT5000, the mA output of the transmitter will hold at 4.00mA and the meas- ured level will continue to operate as normal.

  • Page 23: Extended Setup

    The first four menu options in the EXTENDED SETUP, will allow access to a graphic display of the return signal from the sensor of the MT5000. Each of these WAVEFORM screens has the same configuration and will allow ac- cess to the same functions. Figure 4.6.1. outlines the features of the WAVEFORM screens.

The signal from the measured level will ap- pear as a rising wave that moves up from 0 volts toward 1 volt then falls back down towards 0. This signal must cross the Threshold Voltage to the right of the blanking to be registered as a measurement by the MT5000.

  • Page 25: Functions

    Digitally set from 0 to 2 volts, the return signal from the process must cross this barrier to be detected as a signal. The MT5000 is designed to detect the first pulse crossing the Threshold. The Threshold may need to be raised...

  • Page 27: Linearization Menu

    The LINEARIZATION function of the MT5000 is a multi-purpose tool designed to enhance the operating capabilities of the MT5000 transmitter. The format of the LINEARIZATION TABLE allows a set of values to be assigned to measured level points along the PROBE LENGTH. The points in the table can be assigned exact measured values to linearize the measured level for increased accuracy at the top and bottom of the probe, assigned volume points for tank strapping, or assigned flow rates for measurement of flow in an open channel.
  • Page 28 LINEARIZATION for LEVEL Due to the nature of the microwave energy and the physics involved in the measurement of the MT5000, measure- ments return signals on the top and bottom end of the probe may be non-linear. The degree of non-linearity will de- pend upon the dielectric of the material being measured, the configuration of the probe, and the proximity of the ma- terial to the ends of the probe.
  • Page 29 LINEARIZATION for VOLUME The MT5000 is designed to measure level in a linear fashion over the length of the probe. If the transmitter is in- stalled in a straight sided tank, the volume of the tank may be calculated by knowing the amount of product per unit of measurement.
  • Page 30 1. A rigid probe must be used and it must be secured to the bottom of the flow channel. 2. A single rod probe design will require the use of a metal launch plate mounted to the MT5000 coupler. 3. The MT5000 probe and transmitter must be mounted 3 times the head height upstream from the end of the channel or from the flow change.
