Although the transmitter is virtually insensitive to vibration, installation close pumps, turbines or other vibrating equipment should be avoided. Mounting The TP290 mounting depends on the type movement, linear or rotary. Two brackets are required for mounting, one for the magnet and the other for the transmitter itself. NOTE Make sure that arrow engraved on the magnet coincides with the arrow engraved on the Position Transmitter when the system is in mid travel.

Installation Linear Movement Install the magnet on the valve stem using the magnet mounting bracket. The linear magnet movement must be orthogonal in relation to the main axis of the position transmitter. For example, if the linear magnet movement is vertical, the transmitter main axis must be horizontal, as show in Figure 1.3.

Installation Electronic Housing Rotating The electronic housing rotates for a better digital display reading. To rotate it, release the housing rotation screw. Figure 1.6 - Cover Locking and Housing Rotation Set Screw The digital display also rotates for better reading. See Section 4. To access the terminal block for electronic connections, remove the cover locking screw.
(“W" indicates certification for use in saline atmospheres) NOTE This TP290 certification is valid for stainless steel transmitter manufactured, approved with the certification IP66/68 W. All transmitter external material, such as plugs, connections etc., should be made in stainless steel.
Installation Rotary and Linear Magnet The Figure 1.11 shows typical shapes for both magnets. For better transmitter performance, the linear magnet is presented with different lenghts. Consult the ordering code table for the best choice. Figure 1.11 – Linear and Rotary Magnet Models Centering Device of the Linear Magnet NOTE Centralizing device of the linear magnet is used for any model of linear mounting bracket.

(maximum limit 20 (meters) length), keep it away from possible sources of induction and/or magnetic interference. The cable supplied by Smar is shielded with excellent protection against electromagnetic interference, but despite of this protection, it is recommended to avoid the cable sharing the same conduit with other cables.
For temporary storage of data there is a RAM. The data in the RAM is lost if the power is switched off, however the device also has a nonvolatile EEPROM where data that must be retained is stored. Examples of such data are: calibration and TP290 configuration.

The local indicator is required for signaling and operation in local adjustment. Normal Indicator During normal operation, the TP290 remains in the monitoring mode and the display indicates the valve position, either as a percentage or as a current readout. The magnetic tool activates the local programming mode, by inserting it in orifice Z on the housing.
In this section the “Magnetic Tool” will be referred to as “TOOL”, and the orifices identified by “S” and “Z” will be “ORIFICE S” and “ORIFICE Z”, respectively. Figure 3.1 – Orifices of the Local Adjust Table 3.1- shows the results of what actions on “Z” and “S” cause on the TP290. ORIFICE ACTION Function browsing.

TP290 – Operation, Maintenance and Instructions Manual Transducer To remove the transducer from the electronic housing, disconnect before the electrical connections (in the field terminal side) and the main board. Loosen the hex screw (6) and carefully unscrew the electronic housing from the transducer, observing that the flat cable is not excessively twisted.
Maintenance Procedures Figure 4.2 – Four Possible Positions of the Indicator Anchor the main board (5) in the housing (8) with their screws (3). After tightening the protective cover (1), mounting procedure is complete. The transmitter is ready to be energized and tested. Interchangeability Main board can be replaced by a similar new one keeping the operational features unchanged.
