  • Page 2: General Information

    In addition to this instruction, be sure to observe all statutory requirements, appli- cable standards, the additional technical specifications on the accompanying data sheet (see www.labom.com) as well as the specifications indicated on the type plate. General Safety Notes The installation, set up, service or disassembly of this device must only be done by trained, qualified personnel using suitable equipment and authorized to do so.

  • Page 3: Mechanical Installation

    Mechanical Installation Use gaskets, if required, that are suitable for the process connection and resistant to the media. Before starting operation, check the process connection carefully for leaks under pressure. You can use the device in any mounting position. Normally the transmitter is adjusted for a vertical mounting position.

  • Page 4: Devices With Diaphragm Seal

    The back plate of the housing is universally suitable for wall mounting or pipe mounting for pipe diameters from 30 – 64 mm. For pipe mounting, you can order the corresponding U-bolts from LABOM. For best EMC protection, only use the included cable.

  • Page 5: Operation

    This modification can be performed during operation. We do recommend, however, to switch off the device during the modification. Figure 3: Remote display and control unit after installation Operation During operation, take care that the device remains within its intended pressure and tem- perature ranges.

  • Page 6: Remove Display / Activate Write Protection

    Remove Display / Activate Write Protection Using the DIP switch in the device, you can disable changes to the configuration via the display or via HART (not for type series CI4xx3 with a process connection on the back). To activate the write protection, you must first remove the display module. Proceed as fol- lows: −...

  • Page 7: Disassembly

    Disassembly When measuring hot media, make sure that the device has cooled down prior to any dis- mounting or wear appropriate protective clothing to avoid burns. Switch off the power supply to the device before disconnecting the electrical connections. Once this is done, the device may be mechanically removed. Warning Opening pressurized lines might cause severe injuries.

  • Page 8: User Manual

    User Manual The device can be configured via the display module as well as the HART protocol. The following pages describe operation and configuration of the device using the display mod- ule. (valid from display module software version 2.0.0). An overview of the menue structure can be found on the last page of this document. Principles of the parameterisation concept Basic requirement for correct level measurements are correct pressure measurements.
  • Page 9 6.1.2 Tank shape The fill height is converted to a fill volume fill height using the tank shape table. The table is stored in the device as a series of fill height/fill volume pairs. The tank shape table can therefore be easily deter- mined from the tank documentation.
  • Page 10 6.1.4 Calculating the fill weight If a fill volume is available, the device calcu- fill volume lates the fill weight from it using the density. The fill volume and weight are proportional ∙ to each other. The level zero is also the reference point for fill weight the fill weight.

  • Page 11: Basics Of The Operating Concept

    Basics of the Operating Concept The display module consists of a dot-matrix display with 80x120 pixels as well as a 4-button control panel. The four buttons below the display allow an intuitive operation of the device. The gen- Figure 12: Control elements eral functionality of the buttons is identical in all operating modes.

  • Page 21 Teaching-in the density You can also teach-in the density on the tank. A basic requirement is that the height offset is correctly set and Input of current fill height the fill height (relative to the level ze- based on level zero ro) can be determined with sufficient accuracy.
  • Page 22 6.5.3.4 "Tank shape" submenue Parameterise and manage the tank shape table that is used to calculate the volume from the fill height in the "Tank shape" submenue. The tank shape pairs serve as control points of a tank shape curve. The volume is interpo- lated linearly between the tank shape pairs.
  • Page 23 Switching the tank shape on/off The tank shape can not be edited and used for the volume calculation at the same time. It must be switched off before changing or teaching in the tank shape. The set alarm current is then issued at the current output if the volume or weight is selected as the measurand. The following steps are performed when switching on the tank shape: −...

  • Page 32 6.5.8 „Simulation“ menue The different measurands and the current can be simulated in the "Simulation" menue to check the subsequent processing of measured values. The current simulation only affects the current output. The measurand simulations take all settings into account, i.e. including the damping and active tank shape if necessary. If the simulated variable has no effect on the current output, the measured value of the selected variable continues to be issued at the current output.
