  • Page 3: Measurement Principle

    The PiloTREK 2-WIRE level gauge is designed solely for measuring the level, distance, volume and reflection of liquids, pastes, slurries, particulate materials and solids. The PiloTREK 2-WIRE level gauge does not form part of an overfill protection system as defined in the WHG (German water pollution regulation).

  • Page 4: Order Codes

    NSTALLATION Most of the PiloTREK 2-WIRE versions are supplied in fully assembled condition. In this case, you may skip this chapter. However, if a device should be delivered in parts, or parts are subsequently replaced, the following should be noted.

  • Page 5: Mechanical Installation

    ECHANICAL INSTALLATION Hazardous-duty systems: • The PiloTREK 2-WIRE Ex is certified in conformity with European Standard for use in Zone 0, 1 and 2 hazardous locations (dependent on version). • Attention is drawn to the data and information given on the nameplate of the converter, the nameplate of the flange and the specifications in the approval certificates.
  • Page 6 PiloTREK 2-WIRE on the tank nozzle flange. Align PiloTREK 2- WIRE and gasket, slightly tighten nuts on stud bolts (by hand). Press shielding strip C* in the gap between tank and PiloTREK 2-WIRE flanges and secure with strap retainer S* (both items included with supply).

  • Page 7: Electrical Connection

    Supply voltage at the terminals (1,2) The 4-20 mA supply must be able to provide the following voltage U at the terminals of the PiloTREK 2-WIRE – dependent on the current I. Please consider also the line resistance and possible loads on the secondary side of the supply unit.

  • Page 8: Setting The Parameters

    ≥ 120 Ω With the program PC-CAT, version 3.01 or higher, you can configurate PiloTREK 2-WIRE instruments in a very comfortable way from a PC. Connect the non-intrinsically safe side of the isolation amplifier over a load between 120 Ω and 350 Ω to the HART adapter and connect it with a serial port of the PC.
  • Page 9 Tank bottom: In tanks with dished bottom, for example, the measuring signal can "disappear" if measurements are carried out near the bottom. The measured value is then automatically set to the level of the tank bottom. ▼ 6: Measurement frozen: Device is in the block distance detection (see below).

  • Page 13 Tank height The tank height (Fct. 3.1.1) for the PiloTREK 2-WIRE is defined as the distance between the top edge of the tank connecting flange and the bottom reference point. The bottom reference point is that “point“ in the tank on which the microwaves of the PiloTREK 2-WIRE hit and from which they are reflected.
  • Page 14 Empty-tank spectrum To enable the PiloTREK 2-WIRE to identify and blank out interference signals, e.g. caused by fixed and moving tank internals, the tank profile (empty-tank spectrum) needs to be recorded once only prior to (initial) start-up. For recording, the tank should be completely empty and all moving parts (e.g. agitators) switched on. If major interference through internals is not expected, recording of the empty-tank spectrum can also be dispensed with, since the factory has already carried out and stored a partial empty spectrum of the flange system.
  • Page 15 Conversion table/Volume table A table consisting of a maximum of 50 points can be stored in the PiloTREK 2-WIRE for non-linear or linear conversion of the level, e.g. into a volumetric value. This table, however, can only be programmed with the PC-CAT program (Fct. 3.7.2).
