Instruction Manual Configuration October 2014 D102748X012 Calibration Introduction: Calibration of Smart Instruments Analog instruments generally have only one interface that can be calibrated by the user. A zero and span output calibration is normally performed at the corresponding two input conditions. Zero/Span calibration is very simple to use, but provides little versatility.
Instruction Manual D102748X012 Configuration October 2014 Full Calibration Field Communicator Configure > Calibration > Primary > Full Calibration (2-5-1-2) Full Calibration operations compute the sensor gain and offset from two independent observations of process data points. They are appropriate for cases where the two input conditions can be established relatively quickly in one session.
Configuration October 2014 Instruction Manual D102748X012 The sensor torque rate is now calibrated. Be sure to verify that there is no bias in the PV calculation and that the upper and lower range values are correct before returning the loop to automatic control. Weight Calibration This procedure may be used on the bench or with a calibration jig that is capable of applying a mechanical force to the driver rod to simulate displacer buoyancy changes.
Instruction Manual D102748X012 Configuration October 2014 Observations of the sight glass or other independent measurements may be logged against DLC3010 outputs over time. The ratio of the independent‐observable process changes to the DLC3010 output changes may then be used as a scale factor to modify the theoretical torque rate stored in the instrument. After each gain adjustment, a new zero trim will be required.
Instruction Manual Configuration October 2014 D102748X012 and able to be measured independently. Configuration data must contain density of calibration fluid, displacer volume, and driver rod length. Before calibration, use the Configure > Manual Setup >Sensor menu to verify that all sensor and compensation data match the calibration conditions.
Instruction Manual Configuration D102748X012 October 2014 Trim Instrument Temperature Follow the prompts on the Field Communicator to trim the instrument temperature. Trim Process Temperature Trim Process Temperature is available if the Process Temperature Source is not Manual. Follow the prompts on the Field Communicator to trim the process temperature.

If not, select No and return to step 7. 9. The Field Communicator commands the instrument to set its output to 20 mA or the high output value. 10. Enter the reading from the reference meter. 11. If the reference meter reading equals 20 mA or the high output value, select Yes and continue to step 12. If not, select No and return to step 10.
Instruction Manual D102748X012 Configuration October 2014 After the initial calibration: For a level application— Go to the Sensor Compensation menu and use the 'Enter constant SG' item to configure the instrument for the target process fluid density. For an interface application— Change the PV mode to Interface, verify or adjust the range values presented by the Change PV mode procedure, and then use 'Enter constant SG' to configure the instrument for the SGs of each of the target process fluids.
Configuration Instruction Manual October 2014 D102748X012 The calibration process flows as follows: D Change the PV mode to Level. D Set the Level Offset to zero. D Set the Range Values to: LRV = 0.0, URV = displacer length. D Capture Zero at the lowest process condition (that is, with the displacer completely submerged in the fluid of the lowest density NOT dry). D Set Specific Gravity to the difference between the SGs of the two fluids (for example, if SG_upper = 0.87 and SG_lower = 1.
Instruction Manual Configuration D102748X012 October 2014 Density Applications - with Standard Displacer and Torque Tube Note When you change 'PV is' from level or interface to density, the range values will be initialized to 0.1 and 1.0 SGU. You may edit the range values according to the specify gravity unit. It is necessary to back out of Manual Setup and reenter the Manual Setup menu to see the changes being refreshed.
Configuration Instruction Manual October 2014 D102748X012 1. Determine all the information you can about the 249 hardware: 249 type, mounting sense (controller to the right or left of displacer), torque tube material and wall thickness, displacer volume, weight, length, and driver rod length. (the driver rod length is not the suspension rod length, but the horizontal distance between the centerline of the displacer and the centerline of the torque tube).
Instruction Manual D102748X012 Configuration October 2014 These steps will provide an approximate PV calibration to get a system operational. Further refinements can then be made when it is possible to manipulate and observe the level and instrument output. Excessive Mechanical Gain If the displacer/torque tube sizing provides more than 4.4 degrees of torque tube rotation for a full span change in process input, It may be difficult to obtain a valid calibration with the normal coupling procedure.
Configuration October 2014 Instruction Manual D102748X012 sensitivity to the knowledge of a fluid density is maximum at the process condition where that fluid covers all of the displacer, and zero at the opposite extreme process condition. If the fluid density changes are batch‐related or very gradual, it may be practical to keep track of the SG of the fluid and periodically reconfigure the transmitter memory to match the actual process condition.

Attach the meter to the interconnection pins. Thread the long meter screws into the holes on the Electronics Module and tighten to secure the meter. 4. Note the position of the alarm jumper on the LCD meter removed from the digital level controller.
Instruction Manual D102748X012 Maintenance & Troubleshooting October 2014 1. Carefully insert the Electronics Module to mate the interconnecting pins with the receptacles on the Transducer housing. CAUTION To prevent damage to the interconnecting pins when installing the Electronics Module, use the guide pins to insert the Electronics Module straight onto the Transducer housing receptacles without twisting or turning. 2. Tighten the two mounting screws. Replace the LCD meter assembly. 3.
Maintenance & Troubleshooting Instruction Manual October 2014 D102748X012 1. Apply sealant to the O‐ring (key 27) and install the O‐ring over the stem of the terminal box as shown in figure 7‐3. 2. Orient the terminal box so that the connectors engage properly, and carefully insert the terminal box into the transducer housing until the O‐ring is seated. CAUTION To avoid damaging the mating pins in the Transducer housing, ensure that the guiding mechanism is engaged properly before applying force. 3.

Instruction Manual Principle of Operation D102748X012 October 2014 Appendix A Principle of OperationA‐ HART Communication The HART (Highway Addressable Remote Transducer) protocol gives field devices the capability of communicating instrument and process data digitally. This digital communication occurs over the same two‐wire loop that provides the 4-20 mA process control signal, without disrupting the process signal.
