QuickStart Installation The QuickStart Installation procedures provide the key steps for mounting, wiring, and configuring the Kotron Model 805 Level Transmitter. These procedures are intend- ed for experienced installers of electronic level measure- ment instruments. See Complete Installation, Section 2.0, for detailed installation instructions.
QuickStart Mounting NOTE: Confirm the configuration style and process connection size and type of the Kotron Model 805 transmitter. Ensure it match- es the requirements of the installation before continuing with the QuickStart installation. Confirm the model and serial numbers. 1.2.1 Probe Carefully place the probe into the vessel.
QuickStart Wiring WARNING! Explosion hazard. Do not connect or disconnect equip- ment unless power has been switched off or the area is known to be safe. NOTE: Make sure the electrical wiring to the Kotron Model 805 trans- mitter is complete and in compliance with all regulations and codes.

• Record the model and serial numbers for future reference when ordering parts. Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Handling Procedure Magnetrol’s electronic instruments are manufactured to the highest quality standards. These instruments use electronic components that may be damaged by static electricity pre- sent in most work environments.
2.3 Before You Begin 2.3.1 Site Preparation Each Kotron Model 805 transmitter is built to match the specific physical specifications of the required installation. Make sure the probe connection is correct for the threaded or flanged mounting on the vessel or tank where the trans- mitter will be placed.
Mounting The Model 805 transmitter can be mounted to a tank using a variety of process connections. Generally, either a threaded or flanged connection is used. For information about the sizes and types of connections available, see Brochure 50-125, Kotron RF Sensing Probes. Make sure all mounting connections are properly in place on the tank before installing the probe.
The end of a flexible probe MUST be kept taut by attaching the anchor end at the bottom of the vessel or by using a Magnetrol supplied probe weight. Caution: Do not discard the Mylar housing insulator.
To install a probe: Attach the weight or anchor assembly to the end of Probe Connection the probe. Insert the probe through the vessel’s Screw mounting connection, and feed the cable into the Mylar Housing Insulator (slips vessel. Do not allow the probe to scrape against the Clamp over clamp) Teflon...
Wiring Caution: The Kotron Model 805 transmitter operates at voltages of 11–36 VDC (GP) and 11–28.6 VDC (IS). Higher voltages will damage the transmitter. Black (-) Red (+) All wiring between the power supply and the Model 805 transmitter should be made using 18–22 AWG shielded twisted pair instrument cable.
To install Intrinsically Safe wiring: 1. Make sure the IS barrier is properly installed in the safe area (refer to local plant or facility procedures). Complete the wiring from the barrier to the Model 805 transmitter. See Agency Specifications – Intrinsically Safe Installations, Section 3.4.1.

Configuring and Calibrating the Transmitter Using HART A HART (Highway Addressable Remote Transducer) remote unit, such as a HART 275 handheld communica- tor, can be used to provide a communication link to the Model 805 transmitter. When connected to the control loop, the same system measurement readings shown on the transmitter are shown on the communicator.

Capacitance is measured in Farads. The value we utilize in industrial measurement is an extremely small unit called a pico Farad (pF). A pico Farad is one trillionth of a Farad Bare metal Capacitance value increases as the dielectric increases, probe the plate size increases, or the distance between the plates decreases.
