Through-Air Radar Transmitter 1.5 Wiring Caution The Through-Air Radar transmitter operates at voltages of 20-36 VDC (GP), 20-28.6 VDC (IS) and 20-36 VDC (XP). Higher voltage will damage the transmitter. Wiring between the power supply and the Through-Air Radar transmitter should be made using 18-22 AWG shielded twisted pair instrument cable. Within the transmitter enclosure, connections are made to the terminal strip and the ground connections. The directions for wiring the Through-Air Radar transmitter depend on the application: • General Purpose or Non-incendive (Cl I, Div. 2) • Intrinsically Safe • Explosion Proof WARNING! Explosion hazard. Do not disconnect equipment unless power has been switched off or the area is known to be non-hazardous. 1.5.1 General Purpose or Non-incendive (Cl I, Div. 2) A general purpose installation does not have flammable media present. Areas rated non-incendive (Cl I, Div. 2) have flammable media present only under abnormal conditions. No special electrical connections are required. If flammable media is contained in the vessel, the transmitter must be installed per Cl I, Div. 1 standards of area classification. To install General Purpose or Non-incendive wiring: 1. Remove the cover to the wiring compartment of the transmitter. Install the conduit plug in the unused opening. 2. Install a conduit fitting and pull the supply wires. 3. Connect shield to an earth ground at power supply and leave floating at the transmitter. 4. Connect an earth ground wire to the nearest green ground screw. (Not shown in illustration.) 5. Connect the positive supply wire to the (+) terminal and the negative supply wire to the (-) terminal. 6. Replace the cover to the wiring compartment of the transmitter. 1.5.2 Intrinsically Safe An intrinsically safe (IS) installation potentially has flammable media present. An approved IS barrier must be installed in the non-hazardous (safe) area. 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 Through-Air Radar transmitter. 2. Remove the cover to the wiring compartment of the transmitter. Install the conduit plug in the unused opening. 3. Install a conduit fitting and pull the supply wires. 4. Connect shield to an earth ground at power supply and leave floating at the transmitter. 5. Connect an earth ground wire to the nearest green ground screw. (Not shown in illustration.) 6. Connect the positive supply wire to the (+) terminal and the negative supply wire to the (-) terminal. 7. Replace the cover to the wiring compartment of the transmitter. 1.5.3 Explosion Proof Explosion Proof (XP) is a method of designing equipment for installation in hazardous areas. A hazardous location is an area in which flammable gases or vapors are, or may be, present in the air in quantities sufficient to produce explosive or ignitable mixtures. The wiring for the transmitter must be contained in Explosion Proof conduit extending into the safe area. Due to the specialized design of the Through-Air Radar transmitter, no Explosion Proof conduit fitting (EY seal) is required within 18" of the transmitter. An Explosion Proof conduit fitting (EY seal) is required between the hazardous and safe areas. To install Explosion Proof wiring: 1. Install Explosion Proof conduit from the safe area to the conduit connection of the Through-Air Radar transmitter (refer to local plant or facility procedures). 2. Remove the cover to the wiring compartment of the transmitter. 3. Connect shield to an earth ground at the power supply and leave floating at the transmitter. 4. Connect an earth ground wire to the nearest green ground screw. (Not shown in illustration.) 5. Connect the Intrinsic Safety (IS) terminal to ground per NFPA 70, the CeC, or the local inspector. 6. Connect the positive supply wire to the (+) terminal and the negative supply wire to the (-) terminal. 7. Replace the cover to the wiring compartment of the transmitter. Through-Air Radar Transmitter 1.6 Configuring the Transmitter The Through-Air Radar transmitter comes configured from the factory and can be reconfigured in the shop. Bench configuration provides a convenient and efficient way to set up the transmitter before going to the tank site to complete the installation. Before configuring the transmitter, collect the operating parameters information. Then, power-up the transmitter on the bench and follow through the step-by-step procedures for the menu-driven transmitter display. Information on configuring the transmitter using a HART communicator is given in Configuration Using HART. 1.6.1 Operating Parameters Some key information is needed to calibrate the Through-Air Radar transmitter. Complete the configuration information table. Explosion Proof Model 1.6.2 Setting Up for Shop Configuration 1. 2. General Purpose/Intrinsically Safe Model 3. 4. The Through-Air Radar transmitter can be configured at a test bench by connecting a 24 VDC power supply directly to the transmitter terminals. The connections are illustrated in the accompanying diagrams. An optional digital multimeter is shown if current measurements are desired. When using a HART communicator for configuration, a minimum 250 Ω line load resistance is required. See the HART communicator manual for more information. The transmitter can be configured without the antenna, but disregard error messages due to the unattached antenna. Through-Air Radar transmitter may indicate a LEVEL value >0 when disconnected from antenna. After entering the last value, allow 10 seconds before removing power from the transmitter. This allows the transmitter to store values. 1.6.3 Transmitter Display and Keypad The Through-Air Radar transmitter has a liquid-crystal display (LCD) capable of showing two lines of 8 characters each. Transmitter measurements and configuration menu screens are shown on the LCD. The transmitter default display is the measurement screen. It cycles every 5 seconds to display LEVEL, %OUTPUT, Quality, and LOOP information. The transmitter defaults to this display after 5 minutes if no keystrokes are sensed. ➪ The keypad has three arrows used to scroll through the displays and to calibrate the transmitter – the Up and Down Arrow ( ) keys and the Enter ( ) key. ➪ ➪ Function in Display Mode Arrows ➪ Enter ➪ Up and Down Moves forward and backward in the configuration program from one display to another. Function in Configuration Mode Increases or decreases the value displayed or moves to another choice. Note: Hold arrow key for rapid scrolling. Enters the configuration mode Accepts a value and moves (noted by an exclamation point to the next step of the as the last character in the top configuration program. display line). ➪ 1.6.4 Password Protection (Default = 1) The Through-Air Radar transmitter is password protected to restrict access to certain portions of the menu structure that affect the operation of the system. When the proper password is entered, an exclamation point (!) appears as the last character of the first line of the display. The password can be changed to any numerical value up to 255. The password is required whenever configuration values are changed. The default password installed in the transmitter at the factory is 1. The last step in the configuration menu provides the option to enter a new password. If 0 is entered as a password, the transmitter is no longer password protected and any value in the menu can be altered without entering a confirming password, except diagnostic values. Note: If the password is not known, the menu item New Password displays an encrypted value representing the present password. Call the factory with this encrypted value to determine the present password. 1.6.5 Menu: Step-By-Step Procedure The following table provides a complete explanation of the software menus displayed by the Through-Air Radar transmitter. Use this table as a step-by-step guide to configure the transmitter. The first column presents the menus shown on the transmitter display. The displays are in the order they would appear if the arrow keys were used to scroll through the menu. The numbers are not shown on the display. They are provided as a reference. The second column provides the actions to take when configuring the transmitter. Additional information or an explanation of an action is given in the third column. Through-Air Radar Transmitter
