• • • Mounting the 4532 ATC at a minimum of 500 mm (19.67") away from the tank shell. This will ensure that the measurement is not influenced by changes in ambient temperature. The procedure for mounting the 4532 ATC on a tank depends on the type of tank.
Insert a gasket and lower the flexible tube from the nozzle on the tank top. Caution! Rotate the 4532 ATC so that you can set up the cabling in the most convenient way. Straighten the tensioning wire, fix the wire end to the top anchor temporarily and lower the wire.

Tensioning wire Figure 5-3: Tensioning wire mounting Fix the mounting flange of the 4532 ATC to the nozzle on the tank top using bolts. Note! Draw the end of the tensioning wire as much as possible by hand and foot (see Figure 5-4) Bend the wire and fix it using the nut.
Insert a gasket and lower the flexible tube into the inlet of the stilling well. Rotate the 4532 ATC so that you can set up the cable in the most convenient way. Fix the mounting flange of the 4532 ATC to the nozzle on the tank top using bolts.
Insert a gasket and lower the flexible tube from the nozzle on the tank top. Rotate the 4532 ATC so that you can set up the cabling in the most convenient way. Tighten the tensioning wire between the lower end of the flexible tube and the anchor weight.

The 4532 ATC provides four basic types of data as standard and parameter information via HART protocol, command 3. Configuration to host communication can be performed by a HC (Hand Communicator) or the Varec ToF field service tool to set a specific HART address.
The 4532 ATC specific parameter set up on the 4590 TSM Configuration of 4532 ATC parameters on the display of the 4590 TSM is dependent on the installed software and hardware version of the 4590 TSM. Please refer to the operating manual for the 4590 TSM to determine accessible parameters.

4532 Operation and Description of Instrument Function 8.0.1 HART Device designation HART device code "190": Device code for temperature measurement function in 4532 ATC only. 8.0.2 Device Data Tag Number: read and write Default: HART A customer specific device identification and control number (or name). Tank name, site number, or any other ID can be entered.
Item type: read only Range: -200°C ~ 240°C Display of individual measured element temperature. 8.1.3 Element Temperature 2: VH20 ~ VH29 ( not available in 4532 ATC) VH26 Selec. Ave Method Item type: select Selection: Standard, Advanced Selection of average calculation method.
Page 43
4532 Formula: (T1 + T2 + T3) / # of element in liquid phase = Average temperature (3.5°C + 3.0°C + 2.0°C) / 3 = 2.83°C Advanced: Average temperature calculation with additional factor to compensate for unequal volume distribution (example: liquid temperature)
Page 44
Operation and Description of Instrument Function (3.5°C x 2 + 3.0°C x 3 + 2.0°C x 4) / (2 + 3 + 4) = 2.67°C Spot The same number of elements (resistance and material) are located in each input cable in the probe.

HART loop, this function limits the 4532 ATC power consumption based on the set parameter. Normally, the 4532 ATC requires 6 mA or less current. Use a tester to check the current flow in the loop. Reducing this parameter makes the 4532 ATC use less current.
Default: 200 Range: 0 ~ 255 This parameter is the setpoint for the 4532 ATC power supply failure alarm. The 4532 ATC operates with a minimum 16 VDC supply voltage via the multi-drop HART loop under normal operating conditions. The 4532 ATC transmits an error message when the supply voltage drops below 16 VDC.
Page 49
#5 element now has constant artificial -0.3°C offset resistance based on raw measurement. The 4532 ATC always consists of "Pt100" elements with "Spot" element layout. Do not attempt to change these parameters. Additional sampling # will cause slower reaction time on value switch over. Maxi- mum 1 sampling sequence will take approximately 2 sec.
