Model Number Serial Number Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Handling Procedure Magnetrol’s 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. The following steps are recommended to reduce the risk of component failure due to electrostatic discharge.
• Handle circuit boards only by the edges. Do not touch components or connector pins. • Ensure that all electrical connections are completely made and that none are partial or floating. Ground all equipment to a good, earth ground. Before You Begin 1.3.1 Site Preparation Each Modulevel transmitter is built to match the specific physical specifications of the required installation.
1.3.3 Operational Considerations The Modulevel transmitter should be located for easy access for service, configuration, and monitoring. There should be sufficient headroom to allow installation and removal of the transmitter head and, in cases of tank top configuration, the displacer. Special precautions should be made to prevent exposure to corrosive atmosphere, exces- sive vibration, shock, or physical damage.
Note: The adjustable hanger assembly is used when the top of the displacer and, therefore, the top of the measure- ment range must be positioned in the vessel more than 5" (127 mm) below the mounting flange in the case of models 600# or less, or more than 9.31" below the mounting flange on models 900# or greater.

Before installing, ensure that: • There is adequate room for the installation of the Modulevel. • Using a level, the vessel mounting connections are level within 3° of vertical. • The process temperature, pressure and specific gravity are within the unit’s specifications for installation. See Specifications, Section 4.8.
Analog EZ Modulevel Wiring and Calibration Caution: The Analog EZ Modulevel Transmitter operates at voltages 12–36 VDC, 120 VAC or 240 VAC. Incorrect voltages will damage the transmitter. All wiring between the power supply and the Modulevel transmitter on 24 VDC units should be made using 18-22 AWG shielded twisted pair instrument cable or on AC, Ground (green) 120 VDC and 240 VAC units should be made using a...
Note: When operated from a 24 VDC source, the maximum allowable loop resistance is 480 ohms for Analog EZ Modulevels. See Figure 9. When operated from a 120 or 240 VAC source, the Analog EZ current can only be monitored from the meter terminals (M+ and M-) using a multimeter with maximum sensitivity of 100 millivolts.

Calibrating the Analog EZ Modulevel The Analog EZ Modulevel must be calibrated for each unique application. It may be calibrated in service or on a bench calibration stand. Bench calibration provides a convenient way to set up the transmitter before going to the tank site to complete the installation.
3. Locate the Direct/Reverse switch on the PC board. USA. HEIKENSSTRAAT 6, See Figure 14. B 9240 ZELE, BELGIUM. www.magnetrol.com 4. Move the Direct/Reverse switch to “REV.” REFER TO MODULEVEL MANUAL, BULLETIN 48-615, FOR INSTALLATION AND OPERATION 5. Replace and tighten the transmitter housing cover until INSTRUCTIONS.

To install transmitter head on calibration stand, carefully slide the white teflon spacer and LVDT assembly down over the open topped enclosing tube. Be certain that both the LVDT assembly and the housing base are fully seated on the fixture. See Figure 15 on page 13. To bench calibrate the Analog EZ transmitter: 1.

Hazardous Location Wiring See Figure 11 on page 9 for proper installation of Digital ES II for intrinsically safe locations. Proper installation of Digital ES II with intrinsically safe connections and non- incendive wiring is illustrated in Figure 12 on page 9. Digital ES II Push-Button Calibration The Digital ES II Modulevel must be calibrated for each unique application.
In the case that 20 mA (100%) level cannot be established: 11. After setting the zero point, establish the liquid level as close to the 20 mA level as possible (must be more than 50% of the total span). 12. Press ENTER to start 20 mA calibration. The ZERO LED will light.
To bench calibrate the Digital ES II transmitter: 1. Connect supply voltage and meter, if necessary, to termi- nals in junction box. See Figure 18 on page 14. 2. Slide the electronics head over the open topped enclosing tube of the calibration stand, making sure that the white plastic washer is in place below the electronics head.
3.4.3 Digital Meter Calibration (cont.) To position the decimal point and choose meter function: 3. Simultaneously press and immediately release the left and right configuration buttons. See Figure 21. 4. To move the decimal point, press the left button until Digital Display decimal point is in desired location.
3.4.4 Interface Calibration (cont.) 7. Establish interface level at desired 20 mA (100%) level on the displacer. 8. Press the ENTER key. The ZERO LED will light. Loop will go to 20 mA. 9. Press UP to lock in the 20 mA value. The ZERO LED will go off.
4. Press ENTER key to start calibration. ZERO LED will light. Loop will go to 22 mA. 5. Press DOWN key to lock in 4 mA value. Zero LED will flash and remain on. Loop will stay at 22 mA. 6.

Reference Information This section presents an overview of the operation of the Electronic Modulevel Displacer Level Transmitter, information on troubleshooting common problems, listings of agency approvals, lists of replacement and recommended spare parts, and detailed physical, functional, and performance specifications. Description The Digital ES II and Analog EZ Modulevels are advanced, intrinsically safe or explosion proof two- wire or four-wire instruments utilizing simple buoyancy principles to detect and convert liquid level...
Theory of Operation The Electronic Modulevel Displacer Level Transmitter relies on the principles of buoyancy to convert mechanical movement to an electronic output. See Figure 23. 4.2.1 Displacer Buoyancy The buoyancy force acting on an object is equal to the weight of the liquid displaced by the object.
