Description The Sentinel II is a unique, powerful level transmitter. The leading-edge microprocessor-based circuitry has non-volatile memory that requires no battery backup. To simplify troubleshooting, powerful diagnostics not only check all aspects of the system, but will actually indicate the faulty section of the system. MagneCal™ offers the user the greatest improvement in RF Capacitance—one small level change (2% of span) is needed to calibrate.
Remote mount connecting cable should be shielded, twisted pair, 22-gauge stranded conductors and may be ordered as Magnetrol part number 009-7146-001. Cable length in feet must be specified at time of order; 2500 feet (760 m) maximum; 800 feet (240 m) maximum for intrin- sically safe models.
Tanks/Silos with Non-Conductive Materials of Construction With plastic, concrete, wood, or any other non-conductive walled vessel, the reference electrode (mentioned in the Principle of Operation section on page 1) needs clarifica- tion. Most commonly, this electrode will be in the form of a concentric ground tube (for example, a stilling well).
3. Screw the amplifier housing onto the probe. Refer to Figure 2. 4. Screw housing onto the probe unit until hand tight. Housing may be wrench tightened to align conduit connection with conduit. 5. Remove housing cover. Probe wire (white) NOTE: Refer to Electrostatic Discharge Handling Procedure on page 9.
NOTE: Do not allow the probe to fall in the tank while performing steps 7 through 18. 7. Loosen both socket head clamp screws. 8. Pull clamp and Teflon retaining bushing off probe. ® 9. While holding the probe cable, loosen upper probe nut. 10.
1. Remove amplifier from mounting bracket. 2. Install bracket in a location that is isolated from tempera- tures below -40° F (-40° C) and above +160° F (+70° C) and vibration which could cause mechanical damage. The unit may be mounted up to 2500 feet (760 m) from the probe assembly.
2.2.5 Remote Mount with Flexible Probe 2.2.5.1 Main amplifier Remote amplifier assemblies are normally shipped from the factory assembled into an “L” mounting bracket. To install amplifier assembly, proceed as follows. Refer to Figure 5. 1. Remove amplifier from mounting bracket. 2.

2. Attach weight, if used, to the probe end. 3. Insert probe end through tank mounting bushing and feed cable into the tank. Do not allow probe insulation to become damaged by scraping against the bushing. Caution: Probe cable must not be in contact with anything metallic in its final installation position.
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Handling Procedure Magnetrol/STIs electronic instruments are manufactured to the highest quality standards. These instruments utilize electronic components which may be damaged by static electricity present in most work environments. The follow- ing steps are recommended to reduce the risk of compo- nent failure due to electrostatic discharge: 1.
2.4.2 Wiring Operation 2.4.2.1 4–20 mA output wiring Connect the positive wire to the + terminal; connect the negative wire Relay 3 Relay 1 (TB5) (TB2) to the – terminal. Relay 4 Relay 2 (TB3) (TB4) 2.4.2.2 Active or passive selection The 4–20 mA output can be config- ured for active or passive operation.
2.4.2.4 Manual self-test A manual self-test can be performed on the 804 electron- ics. A remote contact should be wired across terminals 1 and 2 with terminal 3 used for shield if needed. Performing a manual self-test will cause the 804 to go into alarm mode.
