Liquid Level Measurement - Vented Tank; Table 31 Starting Up Dp Transmitter For Liquid Level Measurement In Vented Tank - Honeywell ST 3000 User Manual

Liquid Level Measurement – Vented Tank
Procedure
The procedure in Table 31 outlines the steps for starting up a differential pressure (DP) type transmitter in a
liquid level measurement application for a vented tank with a dry reference leg. Refer to Figure 30 for the
piping arrangement identification and Figure 27 for typical communicator and meter connections.
Figure 30 Typical Piping Arrangement for Liquid Level Measurement with DP Type
ATTENTION
For the procedure in Table 31, we are assuming that the tank is empty and the piping
arrangement includes a block-off valve.

Step
1 Connect communicator across loop wiring; turn it on and establish communications. If
possible, locate communicator where you can also view receiver instrument in control loop. If
you want to verify transmitter output, connect a precision milliammeter or voltmeter in loop to
compare readings.
Refer to Figure 27 for sample communicator and meter connections in a typical analog loop
with a differential pressure-type transmitter.
2 Close block-off valve A.
Refer to Figure 30 for sample piping arrangement.
