• Record the model and serial numbers for future reference when ordering parts. Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Handling Procedure Magnetrol ® electronic instruments are manufactured to the highest quality standards. These instruments use electronic components that may be damaged by static electricity pre- sent in most work environments.
Installation Location KOTRON RF Transmitters should be located for easy access for service, calibration and monitoring. Units should not be exposed to ambient temperatures below -40 °F (-40 °C) or above +160 °F (+70 °C). Special pre- caution should be made to prevent exposure to corrosive atmosphere, excessive vibration, shock or physical damage.
– 1. Connect the positive lead of the interconnection cable PROBE (supplied by MAGNETROL), to the screw terminal at the top of the probe. Connect the negative lead to the green 30-9012-001 ground screw at the base of the housing. Cut the shield;...
The end of a flexible probe MUST be kept taut by attaching the anchor end at the bottom of the vessel or by using a MAGNETROL supplied probe weight. Caution: Do not discard the Mylar housing insulator.
1.5.2.2 Remote Electronics 1. Connect the positive lead of the interconnection cable (supplied by MAGNETROL), to the screw terminal at the top of the probe. Connect the negative lead to the green ground screw at the base of the housing. Cut the shield;...
Wiring The wiring directions are different depending upon the configuration of your particular transmitter. Choose the appropriate configuration from the following sections and follow the directions carefully. 1.6.1 Two-Wire Transmitter without Meter W RNING: These units are designed to operate with voltages between 14 VDC and 40 VDC only.
3. Pull the power supply wires through the conduit connection. 4. Connect the positive supply wire to the (+) terminal and the negative supply wire to the (–) terminal. Connect Meter Transmitter the shield to the green ground screw at the base of the Power Supply Housing Terminals...
1.6.4 Four-Wire Transmitter with Meter Caution: All power must be turned off until all of the wiring connec- tions have been made. All wiring between the power supply and the transmitter should be done with 14 AWG to 18 AWG wire. The con- nection is made at the terminal strip, on the vertical board, within the transmitter enclosure.
Calibration There are two calibration methods that can be used, depending on your particular situation. Calibration Procedure A will require moving the level from the 0% point (4 mA) to the 100% point (20 mA). Calibration Procedure B allows you to start at a level greater than 0% and stop at a level less than 100%.
7. If 20 mA cannot be reached, individually close Span Coarse DIP switches (in sequence), #1, #2, and #3, until the loop current is close to (and not less than), 20 mA. (ONLY ONE SWITCH POSITION SHOULD BE CLOSED AT A TIME—THE OTHER TWO POSITIONS MUST REMAIN OPEN).

c. Excessive loop resistance. Refer to chart on page 18 for maximum resistance. d. Power supply not turned on. e. Insufficient source voltage. 14 volts minimum is required at transmitter terminals. f. Test points jumpered together with current meter. Remove meter. g.
4. Span point cannot be increased to 20 mA at high level. a. Span controls incorrectly set — Turn span controls clockwise b. Insufficient probe capacitance — Increase span length or probe; — Increase probe diameter; — Locate probe closer to wall(s); —...

2. Loop current randomly unstable. a. Disturbances in medium — Correct instability of medium b. Power supply unstable — Repair or replace power supply c. Electrical interference (RFI) — Consult factory. 3. Loop current exceeds 20 mA. a. Incorrect calibration —...
5. Non-linear output a. Incorrect calibration — Recalibrate unit b. Excessive loop resistance. Loop Resistance vs. Power Supply Voltage — Reduce loop resistance 1300 1200 ohms @ 40 V 1200 c. Damaged jacket on insulated probe 1100 — Replace probe 1000 d.
