KMS-2/Exia Transmitter Installation and Operating Manual ATEX Introduction A 4-20mA loop powered transmitter for measuring the level of liquid in a vessel either directly (immersion application) with an annular float, or indirectly by mounting on a magnetic level gauge. The Exia intrinsically safe version can be used in all hazardous area zones when connected through an approved isolation barrier.

KMS-2/Exia Transmitter Installation and Operating Manual ATEX Fig 2 Immersion Application Ensure that the PFA/PTFE washer is correctly fitted to prevent the risk of sparking if the float was to hit the stop. Ensure that the electronic assembly is maintained within the certified ambient temperature range consult sales office to determine correct offset.
KMS-2/Exia Transmitter Installation and Operating Manual ATEX Electrical Connections Unscrew the lid to gain access to the rear terminal enclosure; the terminal block can then be removed to facilitate connections. Select the correct cable entry point dependent on the orientation of the sensor. The connection cable should be bought in through an M20 gland suitable to maintain the required IP rating, and then connected to the + and –...

KMS-2/Exia Transmitter Installation and Operating Manual ATEX Caution The float failure and write protect switches should be set to the ‘OFF’ position before adjustment to the ranging are made, and reinstated as necessary afterwards. It is important that the float is kept stationary for approximately 10 seconds before and after operation of the calibration buttons to ensure that the output signal has stabilised to the correct value.
