Due to the large operating voltage range and the integrated power saving functions, a mains-independent power supply via bat-tery or accumulator/solar cells is possible. Typical applications are measured value transmission from mobile vessels, battery-operated level measurement and deep well measurement.The measured value and message transmission can be optionally carried out via e-mail or SMS. Furthermore, the measured values can betransmittedviahttpsforvisualisationin"VEGA Inventory System".The use of PLICSMOBILE T81 is particularly suitable for inventory management, VMI (Vendor Managed Inventory) and remote enquiry.The external mobile network unit PLICSMOBILE T81 can be con-nected to any 4 … 20 mA HART two-wire sensor of the plics® series. In HART Multidrop operation up to 15 sensors can be connected to a PLICSMOBILET81(max.vewithExversion).The transmission of measured values, event messages and diagnos-tic information to the user is carried out via the GSM/GPRS network. Thanks to quadband technology, the device can be used virtually anywhere in the world. There is also the option of accessing the con-nected sensor via remote parameter adjustment.Power is supplied via a standard low voltage source (external power supply unit/battery/accumulator/solar panel) or via the optionally availablePLICSMOBILEB81.Youcannddetailedspecicationsonthepowersupplyinchapter"Technical data".The PLICSMOBILE T81 normally supplies power to the connected sensors.3.3 AdjustmentThe device is adjusted via PACTware and the corresponding DTM. The connection is made via the Bluetooth module integrated in PLICSMOBILE T81.3.4 Packaging, transport and storageYour instrument was protected by packaging during transport.

Mounting adapters for carrier rail mounting (top hat rail 35 x 7.5 according to DIN EN 50022/60715) as well as for tube mounting are optionally available.Checkbeforemountingifasucientnetworkcoverage(signalstrength) of the mobile network provider is available at the planned location. This can be simply tested by means of a mobile phone. Keep in mind that the SIM cards in the PLICSMOBILE T81 and in the mobile phone are from the same mobile phone provider or work in the same mobile phone network. If the radio reception is too weak, you should search for a better position. In closed rooms this would be, for example, close to a window or at least closer to an outer wall.Note:During operation, a distance of at least 20 cm should be kept between the antenna and persons working nearby. Operation of the instrument with smaller distances is not recommended.Usetherecommendedcables(seechapter"Connecting to power supply")andtightenthecablegland.You can give your instrument additional protection against moisture penetration by leading the connection cable downward in front of the cableentry.Rainandcondensationwatercanthusdraino.Thisap-plies mainly to outdoor mounting as well as installation in areas where high humidity is expected (e.g. through cleaning processes) or on cooled or heated vessels.4.2 Installation procedureThe PLICSMOBILE T81 for wall mounting is supplied with a mounting base for screw mounting.→ Fasten the instrument with four appropriate screws (not included in the delivery) according to the following illustration.Mounting optionsInstallation positionMoistureWall mounting

145 Connecting to power supplyPLICSMOBILE T81/B81/S81 • External GSM/GPRS/UMTS radio unit55234-EN-1702065 Connecting to power supply5.1 Preparing the connectionAlways keep in mind the following safety instructions:• Connect only in the complete absence of line voltage• If overvoltage surges are expected, overvoltage arresters should be installedPower can be supplied optionally via PLICSMOBILE B81 or a sepa-rate power supply unit.When using a power supply unit, the secondary circuit must be separated from the primary circuit by double or reinforced insulation (according to the nationally valid safety standards).The air and creeping distances in PLICSMOBILE T81 meet the requirements of EN IEC61010-1 for secondary circuits with reinforced insulation under overvoltage category III (altitude up to 2000 m).The voltage supply of PLICSMOBILE T81 is connected with standard cable according to the national installation standards.The sensor connection cable included in the delivery is used to con-nect the sensor.Connect the cable screen on the sensor side to ground potential. In the sensor, the screen must be connected directly to the internal ground terminal. The ground terminal on the outside of the sensor housing must be connected to the potential equalisation (low imped-ance).Note:WhenconnectingmorethanoneHARTsensor,adierentaddressmust be assigned to each sensor (address range 1-15). Address 0 (mode 4 … 20 mA) may not be used. When assigning an address, only one sensor should be connected to PLICSMOBILE T81. If con-nectionisalreadycompleted,thewiringmustbebrieyundoneforaddressing. Depending on the installation location of the sensors, it can be advantageous to carry out this addressing before installing and connecting the sensors. This can be conveniently carried out e.g. in the workshop. You only need a 24 Volt power supply as well as an indicating and adjustment module PLICSCOM or the adjustment software PACTware with VEGACONNECT.5.2 Connection optionsPower can be supplied to the sensor and PLICSMOBILE in two ways:With this version, only one voltage supply is required for both devices. The voltage supply is connected to the PLICSMOBILE T81. In addition to the measured value, the sensor connection cable also carries the voltage supply of the sensor via HART. Hence there is no 4 … 20 mA HART signal from the sensor electronics available for processing, e.g. via a PLC. That's why the measured value transmis-Note safety instructionsSelect power supplySelect connection cableCable screening and groundingCommon voltage sup-ply for sensor and PLICSMOBILE
155 Connecting to power supplyPLICSMOBILE T81/B81/S81 • External GSM/GPRS/UMTS radio unit55234-EN-170206sion can only be carried out via radio transmission through e-mail/SMS/VEGA Inventory System.With this version, the sensor and the PLICSMOBILE T81 are each powered via a separate power supply. Here, the measured values can be transmitted via radio communication and the 4 … 20 mA HART signal is available in parallel for processing, e.g. via a PLC.HART communicationIf the internal resistance of the connected power supply for the sensor islessthan230Ω,theHARTsignalisextremelydampedorshort-circuited. Digital communication with PLICSCOM is then no longer possible. With low impedance processing systems, a resistance of approx.230Ωmustbeloopedintothe4…20mAcable.Thisresist-ance is already integrated in PLICSMOBILE T81 and can be looped automatically into the circuit by selecting the appropriate wires (see wiring plan).The connection to power supply is carried out as described in the respective operating instructions manual.5.3 Connection steps sensor connection cableThe sensor connection cable is used for transmission of the meas-ured value from the sensor to the PLICSMOBILE T81. In addition, it can also transmit the voltage supply for the connected sensor.The sensor connection cable is available in Ex version (blue) as well as in non-Ex version (black). It can be ordered in three lengths (5/10/25 m) and can be shortened afterwards to individual lengths. On one end there is a ready-for-use plug for connection to PLICSMOBILE T81. On the other end are free cable ends for direct connection to the sensor.To connect, proceed as follows:1. Connect the colour coded wire ends to the respective sensor terminals, as described in the wiring plan and the operating instructions of the sensor.2. Isolate unused wires, depending on connection type and cable version3. Connect the screen to the internal ground terminal, connect the outer ground terminal on the housing to potential equalisation4. Tighten the compression nut of the cable entry gland. The seal ring must completely encircle the cable5. Insert the plug of the sensor connection cable into the plug con-nection on PLICSMOBILE T816. Tighten plug connection5.4 Connection steps voltage supplyThe connection of the voltage supply is made via spring-loaded termi-nals in the electronics compartment. A small screwdriver is required toopentheterminals.Solidaswellasexiblecoreswithoutcableendsleeves can be used.Separate voltage sup-ply for sensor and PLICSMOBILEConnection technology

Avoid a short circuit during mounting and connection. Also pay attention to this when shortening the cable, if that should be necessary.6.4 Battery sizingWhen selecting an external battery/accumulator, the following points must be observed:Power consumption in power saving mode:If you use a battery or accumulator that cannot be automatically recharged cyclically, the power saving mode should be activated. With an operating voltage of e.g. 12 V, a standby power consumption of 0.4 mW must be taken into account. With an assumed lifetime of e.g. one year, the requirement is approximately 3.5 Wh, which cor-responds to a battery capacity of 0.29 Ah at 12 V. The standby power consumptionatspecicoperatingvoltagesisstatedinthe"Technical data".Power requirement for a complete measurement cycle incl. measured value transmission:A measurement cycle lasts approximately 60 to 120 seconds (de-pendent on sensor type and network quality) and includes automatic switching on of the sensor (HART multidrop mode with 4 mA), recording of the measured value, measured value transmission and a return to the power saving mode. During this time, approximately 15 mWh of energy is required. For example, with one measurement per day, this adds up to approx. 7.3 Wh per year, which corresponds to a battery capacity of approx. 0.6 Ah at 12 V.Examples for battery capacity depending on the number of transmission cyclesNumber of mes-sages/dayAnnual consumption PLICSMOBILEStandby energy demandEnergy demand for message transmissionRequired battery capacitance with 12 V13.5 Wh 7.3 Wh 0.6 Ah23.5 Wh 14.6 Wh 1.5 Ah43.5 Wh 29.2 2.7 Ah83.5 Wh 58.4 Wh 5.1 Ah24 3.5 Wh 175.2 Wh 14.9 AhNote:Due to the nature of the system, each battery and accumulator has a self-discharge which can vary considerably dependent on the type. This is very important for the calculation of the required capacitance. In the listed examples, this self-discharge is not taken into accunt.

In continuous operation PLICSMOBILE allows remote parameteradjustmentviatheservicedepartment.Congurationchanges on PLICSMOBILE as well as the sensor can thus be carried out remotely from any PC with PACTware via GPRS.In this mode, the integrated GSM modem as well as the sensor connected to PLICSMOBILE are switched on automatically when the time-controlled transmission of a message is pending. After the measured value is recorded, the log-in into the GSM network is car-ried out and the measured value is transmitted. The instrument then returns to power saving mode. The time for this process depends on the network quality and is generally approx. 70 seconds.Permanent operationPower saving mode
246 Battery operation and power saving modePLICSMOBILE T81/B81/S81 • External GSM/GPRS/UMTS radio unit55234-EN-170206Note:Please note that event-controlled transmission (measured value/status-controlled) is not possible in the power saving mode. A dial-in connection for remote parameter adjustment is also not possible dur-ing the inactive time.When using battery operation and a HART sensor with non-required 4 … 20 mA signal, we recommend setting the sensor to multidrop mode. In such case, the sensor consumes constantly only 4 mA independently of the measured level, which increases the battery life considerably. When connecting one or more sensors, the HART multidrop mode is a basic requirement. A description of the activation of multidrop mode can be found in the operating instructions of the display and adjustment module.With activated Bluetooth function, additional energy is needed; this reduces the operating time with battery/accumulator operation con-siderably.Forthatreason,switchotheBluetoothfunctionifitisnotbeing used (via the switch on the electronics module).HART multidropBluetooth

By entering a numerical device code (four to ten digits), the device is temporarily unlocked for a parameter change. After 60 minutes without any adjustments being made, the instrument is locked again automatically. Parameter protection is deactivated by default.7.4 Mobile network and SIM cardAn activated SIM card (Mini-SIM format) with data transmission op-tion is required for setup.Information:The SIM card does not belong to the standard scope of delivery of the device. To avoid roaming costs, the card should be bought in the country in which the PLICSMOBILE T81 is installed and operated. If you are using a VEGA Ident Card, you don't have to worry about this because no roaming costs are charged.To make the measured value transmission and remote maintenance assimpleaspossible,VEGAoerstheservicepackage"Wireless data transmission".ThispackageincludesanIdentCard(SIMcardinMini-SIM format) that covers all data transmission costs and provides worldwide 24-hour support.Incoming data connections (PLICSMOBILE) can only be established if the SIM card used supports GPRS. Incoming data connections are used for remote parameter adjustment via VEGA service.Information:When the power saving mode is activated in PLICSMOBILE, it cannot be contacted for remote parameter adjustment during the inactive time. During the active time (during a data transmission), incoming connections are accepted and maintained independent of the power saving mode until the connection is terminated.Bluetooth access protec-tionParameter protectionVEGA-Ident-CardRemote parameter ad-justment
287 SetupPLICSMOBILE T81/B81/S81 • External GSM/GPRS/UMTS radio unit55234-EN-170206Data connections outgoing from PLICSMOBILE are established via GPRS (volume-based billing). Outgoing connection are used for measured value transmission via e-mail/SMS/VEGA Inventory System.During the transmission of the measured value via e-mail or Inventory System, approximately 5 KB data are transmitted. With hourly trans-mission, for example, this results in a monthly total net data volume of approximately 4 MB.The mobile network provider carries out a so-called block rounding thatdependsontheselectedtari.WhencheckingoutoftheGPRSnetwork, the values are rounded to next higher billing units. Since PLICSMOBILE checks out of the GPRS network after the transmis-sion of every message (if the energy saving mode is activated), this block rounding applies to each transmission. If, for example, a tariwithblockroundingto100KBisused,anhourlymeasurementtransmission results in a monthly billing volume of over 70 MB. For thatreason,youshouldchooseapuredatatariplan(M2M)withthelowest possible block rounding.Insert the card (beveled side in front) into the card slot until it snaps in. The contact surface must point upward.Note:The PLICSMOBILE T81 must be disconnected from voltage when inserting the SIM card. Keep ESD protection in mind when handling the SIM card. Electrostatic discharges can damage the SIM card or the PLICSMOBILE.Fig. 11: Insert Mini-SIM cardMeasured value transmis-sionInsert SIM card
