Preface Preface This manual is intended for technicians involved with the commissioning and service of the Enraf series 854 Advanced Technology Gauge. A description preceding the technical procedures gives the technical information necessary to understand its functioning. It is recommended to read this description prior to performing any of the procedures.
The 854 ATG has four programmable level alarms, and also provides diagnostic information. This information can be displayed on the internal display, the Portable Enraf Terminal (PET) as well as on remote systems. Optionally, the instrument can be provided with software for density measurement of the stored product.
Alarm relays are optionally available on the SPU II board. Density measurement is an optional module of the SPU software. An XPU-2 board (in stead of the standard XPU board) is required with the following options: external HART water bottom probe (e.g. Enraf 964 WaterScout), RS-232C/RS-485 communication, and connection for a 977 Tank Side Indicator.
CPI panel indicator. 1.4 Approvals (FM, CENELEC) The Enraf 854 Advanced Technology Gauges are certified by official testing institutes as Factory Mutual and PTB (CENELEC) to be explosion proof (suitable for zone 0). The gauges are also approved and certified by Weights and Measures (W&M) or Custom and Excise authorities for legal use and custody transfer.
Programming (configuration) of the 854 ATG can be done by the 847 PET (Portable Enraf Terminal), which is an intrinsically safe device and is connected to the 854 ATG via an infra-red coupling.
Safety 2.2 Personal safety Safe execution of the procedures in this manual requires technical experience in handling tools, and knowledge of safety regulations in handling electrical installation in hazardous environments. The sequence of steps in a procedure may also be important from the point of view of personal safety and prevention of damage;...

Commissioning Protection level 1 Access to items which are not directly measurement related, such as high level alarm (HA), tank identifier (TI), etc. is protected by password 1 (W1). It is possible to modify these data only after entering the correct level 1 password W1=XXXXXX, where XXXXXX is the level 1 password.
Commissioning How to program? When the 847 PET is plugged into the 854 ATG and the instrument is powered, the PET can be switched on. By operating the keyboard, items can be requested and settings can be changed. For example: Item (+ setting) Description (typing in on PET keyboard)
Commissioning 3.3.3 Selecting dimension and decimal separator When one of the dimension items are changed, all items with related formats have to be changed and the values must be converted to the new dimension. The same applies for the decimal separator. Note: When the 854 ATG is equipped with an XPU-2 board (can be recognised by requesting the software version item SV reads: XPU ...

A tank top reference stop is a mechanical device that can hold the displacer at a reproducible position when the displacer is pulled up. This device is placed above the motor limit switch high position. An Enraf tank adapter can be provided with such a facility.
Commissioning 3.4.3 Level calibration using the top of ball valve If level dipping is not possible, the 854 ATG can be calibrated using the top of a ball valve as reference point. Proceed as follows: Item Name Description Protection level 2 Enter protection level 2 password Calibrate The displacer will be raised until it stops against the flange of the level...
Commissioning 3.4.4 Interface measurement Interface 3 (I3) is used as product / water interface measurement (with interface 2 (I2) another interface can be measured). The set point S3 has to be set to such a value that half of the displacer volume is immersed in the water and the other half of the displacer volume is immersed in the product.
HIMS density water level from external HART probe (only with XPU-2) Refer to Appendix D for an overview of the different display formats. ENRAF VIEW ANGLE XPU-2 Figure 4.1 Display of XPU and XPU-2...
Operation 4.1.1 XPU display Display contrast For best readability the viewing angle can be adjusted, using a small potentiometer on the XPU board, on the bottom left (refer to figure 4.1). Normally, it is adjusted in the factory for viewing horizontally. Repeatability test If the test magnet (item 7 of the tool kit) is hold for approximately 5 seconds in front of the rectangle block below the display, a repeatability test is performed.

Operation 4.2 Repeatability test With the repeatability test the displacer is raised for approximately 75 mm (3”) and then returns to the product surface. During the test, the level dimension and level type on the display are replaced by exclamation marks (!!! !!!) and the status field (I1) changes to TG.
Operation 4.4 Freeze and block commands Both the freeze (FR) and block (BL) commands stops the displacer at the current position. With the freeze command, the displacer remains in its position even when the level reaches the displacer position. Hence, the level can not be followed and the high and high high level alarms can not be generated. The block command stops the displacer, and depending on how the block mode (item BM) is set, the displacer will move up with an increasing level, or the block is cancelled when the level reaches the displacer position.
Operation 4.6 Interface measurement The 854 ATG can measure three different interfaces. Interface 1 (I1) is normally used to measure the product level. Interface 3 (I3) can be used to measure the product / water interface. Interface 2 (I2) is a setting for a special measurement (i.e.

Balance test The measuring drum unbalance can be measured by the following procedure: Item Name...
The 854 ATG is an explosion proof instrument with intrinsically safe output/input circuits. Modification to the instrument may only be carried out by trained personnel which is authorized by Enraf. Failure to adhere to this will invalidate the approval certificate.
Maintenance 5.3 Drum compartment 5.3.1 Detailed description Figure 5.1 shows the cross-section of the drum compartment of the medium pressure version and identifies the components. Figure 5.2 shows the chemical and high pressure version. The drum shaft, mounted in the drum with a tolerance ring, is inserted into the magnet cap. Two carbon PTFE bearings in the drum shaft bushing support the drum shaft.
Maintenance 5.3.2 Removing the measuring drum Removing the drum from the housing requires no tools. Keep the drum, the outer magnet and the outside of the magnet cap thoroughly clean. To remove the drum proceed as follows: Issue the CA (calibrate) command to raise the displacer If applicable close the ball valve and release the pressure gently.
Maintenance 5.3.3 Replacing the drum bearings Open the drum cover. Take out the drum shaft bushing. Replace the bearings, refer to figure 5.3. Install the bushing. Install drum and displacer. Close the cover. Figure 5.3 Replacing the drum shaft bearings Caution Do not grease the carbon PTFE bearings.

When the gauge is powered, issue the IN command by the PET 3 times in sequence. After the first command, use the “↑” key and “enter” key. No other command may interfere in this sequence. Note: To prevent other commands in the initialization sequence, the Enraf field bus lines may, temporary, be disconnected. Instruction manual 854 ATG...
Maintenance 5.5 Calibrating force transducer After mounting a new force transducer or another motor-block the force transducer must be calibrated. The frequency of the force transducer must be calibrated with help of a set of accurate test weights of 25 g, 75 g, 150 g and 225 g, all ±0.1 g. Check the mounting of the 854 ATG whether it is stable and horizontal.
Maintenance Do not yet reprogram this value in the gauge. Reprogram all values after completion of all the four calibration measurements. Repeat this calibration from item BT for the other 3 test weight combinations: for F1 with: (25+75 g), for F2 with: (25+150 g), for F3 with: (25+225 g).
