Figure 1. Fisher DLC3010 Digital Level Controller in
Combination with a 249W Sensor —Installed in a
Typical Customer‐Supplied Cage

FIELDVUE DLC3010 digital level controllers (figures 1
and 3) are loop‐powered instruments. In conjunction
with a 249 sensor, they measure changes in liquid
level, the level of an interface between two liquids, or
liquid specific gravity (density). The DLC3020f is a
fieldbus‐powered instrument that measures liquid
level or interface between two liquids. A level, density,
or interface level change in the measured fluid causes
a change in the displacer position.
This change is transferred to the torque tube assembly
and to the digital level controller lever assembly. The
rotary motion moves a magnet attached to the lever
assembly, changing the magnetic field that is sensed
by the Hall‐effect sensor. In the DLC3010, the sensor
converts the magnetic field signal to a varying
electronic signal, which is converted to a 4‐20 mA
output signal. In the DLC3020f, the sensor converts
the changing magnetic field to a digital signal, which is
ambient temperature compensated, linearized, and
sent to the electronics assembly.
475 FIELD COMMUNICATOR

Standard or Custom Configuration... the DLC3010
digital level controller in combination with a 249W
sensor enables users to install digital level transmitters
to a variety of industry standard or custom process
vessel connections. The sensor consists of a wafer
body, torque tube assembly and displacer and is rated
for CL150, 300, and 600. The wafer body mounts
between NPS 3 or 4 raised face flanges. Custom
configurations are also available to meet your specific
application requirements. Refer to the
DLC3010/DLC3020f specifications in tables 1, 2, 3, and
9, and the 249 specifications in tables 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and
9 for product line capabilities and options.
HART/AMS Compliant... The DLC3010 uses HART
protocol to interface with the Field Communicator
(see figure 1) for field interface operations. Advanced
user‐interface capabilities are enabled by AMS Suite:
Intelligent Device Manager.
FOUNDATION fieldbus/AMS Compliant... The DLC3020f
uses FOUNDATION fieldbus protocol to interface with the
Field Communicator (see figure 1) for field interface
operations. Advanced user‐interface capabilities are
enabled by AMS Suite: Intelligent Device Manager (see
figure 2).

Simplified Setup and Calibration... With the electronic
Device Setup, digital level controller startup is
straightforward and fast. Level and temperature
alarms, specific gravity tables, calibration trim, and
trending are readily configurable. DLC3010/DLC3020f
digital level controllers also support re‐ranging
without a fluid reference.
Responsive to Small Process Change... Accurate,
high‐gain analog‐to‐digital conversion enables
measurement of small changes in the process variable.
In addition, an input filter and output damping may be
adjusted by the user to attenuate noise from
mechanical disturbance or liquid turbulence at the
displacer.
Easy Maintenance... Field wiring connections are in a
compartment separated from the electronics. This
helps to protect the electronics from any moisture
brought into the housing by the field wiring. This also
eases installation and maintenance. The digital level
controller does not have to be removed to facilitate
troubleshooting or service. However, if it is necessary
to remove the digital level controller for in‐shop
maintenance and calibration, field wiring does not
need to be disconnected.

Continuously adjustable to position span of less than 90 percent anywhere within 10 to 100 percent of
displacement force change obtained with given displacer volume.

1. At full design span, reference conditions.
2. To lever assembly rotation inputs.
3. The torque tube and the displacer must be properly sized for the application in order for 0 to 100% of displacer length to be available.
4. With a nominal 4.4 degrees torque tube shaft rotation for a 0 to 100 percent change in liquid level (specific gravity=1), the digital level controller can be adjusted to provide full output for an
input range of 5% of nominal input span. This equates to a minimum differential specific gravity of 0.05 with standard volume displacers. Operating at 5% proportional band will degrade
accuracy by a factor of 20. Using a thin wall torque tube, or doubling the displacer volume will each roughly double the effective proportional band. When proportional band of the system
drops below 50%, changing displacer or torque tube should be considered if high accuracy is a requirement.

Switches
Typically, 2100E and 2100 switches electrically or

Switch construction comes in a left‐hand as well as a
right‐hand mounting version. The explosion‐proof,
hermetically sealed 2100E switch is offered as both a
factory mounting and as an electric switch retrofit to
the proven 2100 switch.
With the 2100E switch rising liquid level exerts a
buoyant force on the torque tube that either activates
or deactivates an electrical SPDT or DPDT switch

depending on the switching action desired. Falling
liquid level deactivates or activates the same switch
depending on the action desired.
When the 2100 switch is in the normal position with
the flapper against the nozzle, output pressure cannot
bleed off and remains the same as full supply pressure.
Rising liquid level exerts a buoyant force on the
displacer, producing a torque on the torque tube.
When the torque transmitted by the torque tube
exceeds the torque exerted on the flapper by the
magnet, the flapper snaps away from the nozzle,
allowing output pressure to bleed through the nozzle
faster than supply pressure can enter through the
bleed orifice. The reduced pressure in the output
signal line activates the shutdown or alarm system.
When the liquid level lowers, the falling displacer
forces the flapper into the field of the magnet, letting
the magnet snap the flapper against the nozzle and
causing output pressure to build to full supply
pressure.

Fisher L2, L2e, and L2sj
Liquid Level Controllers

D103219X012

Figure 6. Fisher L2 Liquid Level Controller

Rugged L2, L2e, and L2sj liquid level controllers use a
displacer type sensor to detect liquid level or the
interface of two liquids of different specific gravities.
The reliability of the design make these controllers well
suited for high pressure liquid level applications in
natural gas production, compression, and processing
industries.
The L2 and L2sj devices deliver a pneumatic output
signal to a control valve.
The L2e device uses a single pole double throw (SPDT)
dry contact electric switch to provide differential gap
(DG) control or liquid monitoring. It can be used to
provide an electric control signal to an electrically
actuated control valve.
The sensor uses a threaded 2 NPT connection to the
vessel. Standard constructions use materials that
comply with the requirements of NACE MR0175‐2002.
L2, L2e, and L2sj controllers, in combination with the
sensor, work on the principle that a body immersed in
liquid will be buoyed up by a force equal to the weight
of the liquid displaced. The buoyant force and
resultant movement of the displacer in the liquid is
transmitted to the controller which delivers the signal
to a control valve.

L2e Electric Level Controllers
Effective Level Loop Tuning… Intuitive Zero and Span
adjustments allow flexibility in setting loop
performance over a level range of 5.0 to 559 mm
(0.2 to 22 inches).
More Reliable Control… Premium quality
hermetically-sealed switch with gold contacts and
advanced knife-edge sensing provide highly
dependable and accurate liquid level control.
Environmentally Responsible… Replacing a
conventional pneumatic level loop with fully electric
level control eliminates controller and dump valve
venting and requires less maintenance.

Fisher 249 Sensors
249 sensors, in conjunction with either DLC3010/
DLC3020f digital level controllers or 2500 controllers
and transmitters, are designed to measure changes in
liquid level, liquid interface level, or density/specific
gravity inside a process vessel.
249 level sensors are available in both caged and
cageless configurations, as shown in the table below.
Caged sensors provide more stable operation than do
cageless sensors for vessels with internal obstructions
or considerable internal turbulence. Cageless sensors
are generally used on applications requiring large
displacers that are accommodated by large flange
connections. Different displacer stem lengths permit
lowering the displacer to the desired depth.
Refer to table 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9 for product line
capabilities and options.

Type or Material

Some combinations of process and ambient temperatures within the above ranges require
an optional heat insulator to protect the instrument from high or low temperatures. For
example, an ambient temperature of 30_C or 86_F and a process temperature of 200_C or
392_F require a heat insulator.

Notes

For process temperatures
below -29_C (-20_F) and for
guidance on the need for a
heat insulator, contact your
Emerson Process

the ambient dew point is
higher than the process
temperature, ice might
form and cause instrument
malfunction and reduce
insulator effectiveness.

Pneumatic Liquid Level
Instruments
Fisher 2500 controllers and transmitters (figures 12

constructed pneumatic instruments. In conjunction
with a 249 sensor, they sense liquid level or interface
level in a vessel, and produce a standard pneumatic
output signal proportional to the process variable.
Standard or Custom Configuration... The 2500
controller in combination with a 249W sensor enables
users to install pneumatic level controllers to a variety
of industry standard or custom process vessel
connections. The sensor consists of a wafer body,
torque tube assembly and displacer and is rated for
CL150, 300, and 600. The wafer body mounts between
NPS 3 or 4 raised face flanges. Custom configurations

are also available to meet your specific application
requirements. Refer to the 2500 specifications in
tables 9, 11, 12, and 13, and the 249 specifications in
tables 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9.
Easy Adjustment... Simple dial‐knobs make set point
and proportional valve opening changes
straightforward and easy.
Simple, Durable Construction... Few moving parts are
used. Knife‐edged driver bearing in sensor, and plated
brass instrument case ball bearing for torque tube
rotary shaft help provide low friction operation.
Reduced Maintenance and Operating Costs...
Spring‐out wire provides for in‐service cleaning of relay
orifice. Supply pressure conservation is enhanced
because relay exhaust opens only when output
pressure is being reduced.
