1. description-operation
The 12300 type Digital Level Transmitter/controller is a high performance, easy-to-set instrument based on a modular design that permits quick, low-cost upgrades as new features are developed and as your needs change. 1.1 Principle of Operation The Masoneilan 12300 series instrument is a 2-wire, loop powered, digital displacement level transmitter/controller with HART Communication that uses field proven buoyancy and torque tube principles. A change in liquid level varies the apparent weight of the displacer (130), which increases or decreases load on the torque tube (136) by an amount directly proportional to the change in liquid level. The resulting rotation of the torque rod (138) modifies the magnetic field of a frictionless, non-contacting, Hall effect sensor (141). The signal generated by the sensor varies current in the loop in proportion to the level in the vessel. 1.2 Signal Processing The analog signal is converted into an error-free digital signal that can be processed by the on-board microcontroller. After the signal has been processed, the digital result is converted to a 4-20 mA analog output signal *. If the 12300 is configurated as transmitter, this 4-20 mA analog output signal is the level measure. If the 12300 is configurated as controller, this 4-20 mA analog output signal is not the level measure but the position setpoint sent to the valve, so that the valve controls to achieve the required level setpoint. The 12300 electronic turns then the signal of the Hall effect sensor into a different type of signal ( : valve position setpoint) thanks to the control parameters stored. Important: The controller option of the 12300 is available only if the customer has ordered a 12300 controller (see fig.2 - numbering system) he will then be able to configure the 12300 wether as transmitter or as controller. If the customer has ordered a 12300 transmitter (see fig.2 - numbering system) he will then only be able to configure the 12300 as transmitter. The relevant controller information are discribed in annex F and in the HDLT communicator (joined).
The instrument is powered through the 2-wire series loop. The instrument can be retrofitted to old style electronic or pneumatic heads to upgrade an instrument already in service.

3.1 STORAGE AND CONDITION AT DELIVERY
Level instruments have been carefully packed in our premises to prevent them from damage during handling and transportation. Units must be stored in an area where temperatures are between 45 C ( 49 F) and + 93 C (+ 200 F). Units are factory dry calibrated (simulation by weight) to the service specific gravity specified by the customer. When service specific gravity has not been specified, units are factory dry calibrated to a specific gravity of 1. Recalibration is recommended when the actual specific gravity differs from calibration specific gravity. Recalibration is needed when verification of instrument performance is made with liquid in the displacer chamber.
Figure 2 Numbering System
3.2 MOUNTING ON SITE

Unpack the unit carefully and record the serial number for future reference. Remove the shipping stud that secures the displacer in the chamber. Whenever possible, locate the transmitter at some easily accessible, well-lighted place on the vessel. The location should be such that the ambient temperature at the transmitter case is within the range of 40 C to +80 C.
During the level mounting, the displacer has to be unlocked by unscrewing the M6 stern at the drain. 3.2.2 INTERNAL MOUNTING An internally mounted transmitter has no displacer chamber and the mechanism chamber bolts directly to the vessel nozzle flange. a) Type 12303 Top Flange Mounted Transmitter (Figure 4) There are two mounting possibilities : 1. If the overhead space necessary for mounting the instrument is sufficient, attach the displacer to the torque tube before bolting the chamber flange to the nozzle flange on the vessel. 2. If the overhead space is insufficient, install a detachable hanger extension. Before attaching the extension, however, lower the displacer partway into the tank. After the extension has been fastened and pinned to the displacer, the displacer may be hooked to the torque arm and the entire unit lowered into position. When the extension consists of several detachable elements, this operation should be repeated for each element and the displacer lowered progressively into the tank. Mount the instrument and bolt the mechanism chamber onto the nozzle flange.
Note : Do not remove instrument cover until the unit has been installed and is ready for calibration.
The codes shown on Figure 2 indicate the instrument designation as a function of various installation modes, displacer chamber connections, and environmental standard or protection of the case against explosion. Figures 3 and 6 show the various ways of installing the displacer chamber. 3.2.1 EXTERNAL MOUNTING (Chamber Type Model, Figures 3 and 6) Install the transmitter in a vertical position on the side of the tank or vessel, so that the mid-range mark on the chamber is at normal level. The mid-range is marked on the chamber. The equalizing lines between chamber and vessel should be the same size as the chamber connections. Install a block valve in each line. The use of a drain connection is recommended as shown in Figure 3. The displacer is always immobilized in the displacer chamber to avoid any internal damage during transportation.
Figure 3 Typical Installation
Figure 4 Type 12303
Figure 5 Type 12304
b) Type 12304 Side Flange Mounted Transmitter (Figure 5) When the instrument is side flange mounted, enough clearance must be provided to permit attachment of the displacer after the chamber flange is bolted in place. To attach the displacer, reach into the end of the protective case and depress the torque arm. Then bring the displacer hanger up through the hole in the bottom of the case and slip the displacer hanger over the torque arm pin. Lower the displacer until the pin engages the top of the slot in the hanger. Guide Brackets for Type 12304 (Figure 5) If the liquid is in motion, provide brackets as shown in Figure 5 to guide the lower end of the displacer. The diameter of the hole should be 25 to 35 mm (1 to 1 1/2) larger than the diameter of the displacer for ranges to 1.8 m (6 feet), and 50 to 70 mm (2 to 3) larger for greater ranges. The brackets should be placed at 50 to 70 mm (2 to 3) from each end of the displacer. Locate the centerline of the hole so that the displacer hangs freely.

Stilling Well for Type 12303 (Figure 4) If the liquid is turbulent, provide a stilling well as shown in Figure 4. The well should be made from tubing or pipe of a suitable diameter to allow sufficient clearance between displacer and pipe. It should be mounted so that it extends at least 75 mm (3) below a free hanging displacer.
A hole at the top of the stilling well should be provided to equalize pressure between well and vessel. Instrument Case Mounting (Figure 7) The standard case mounting is left hand the case is to the left of the displacer. Right hand mounting is optional. To reverse instrument case mounting, refer to Section 6 Maintenance.
4. case description
The purpose of this section is to describe the various subassemblies of the instrument in order to facilitate their use and maintenance. (See Figures 19 to 21). (115). These set screws have no effect when mounting or dismounting the mechanism subassembly.
4.1 ELECTRONIC COMPARTMENT

5. operating the instrument 5.1 General Principles

Note : 1. Do not overpush on the buttons. A button should be depressed at least one second to perform the action.
2. Accidental pushing of the buttons will not cause any malfunction. After using the buttons, reinstall the front plate (80) for NORMAL mode, which alternately displays the current loop and the level of liquid.
All electronic calibrations of the DLT are made by means of three push buttons and a liquid crystal display on the front of the instrument. The codes or values displayed by the LCD can be seen through a window. Access to the three push buttons is obtained by removing the protective logo plate (80). It is not necessary to open the main cover for calibration or adjustment of the instrument. Except for maintenance, the cover should remain closed.
5.1.1 The Liquid Crystal Display

It displays two lines and a bargraph. The upper line can displays to five numerical digits and a decimal dot. The lower line can display alphanumeric digits. On Normal operation, the LCD sequentially displays the loop current in mA and the level expressed in the unit displayed in the low left corner of the screen ; the level unit is generally % but an engineering unit can be selected through [UNIT] in CALIBRATION menu. The bargraph length is proportional to the loop current. The level value always increases with the height of liquid in the tank or displacer chamber whatever is the instrument action. For direct action, the current signal increases when level height increases ; for reverse action, the current decreases when level increases. The display is also used to Configure, Calibrate and Diagnose the DLT. To facilitate these operations, values, codes or short names appear on the display. The various parameters are listed in the menus (see APPENDIX A, B, C, D, F).
5.1.3 Operating Modes

The instrument can operate under 3 modes : NORMAL Mode : it is the normal operating mode. The 4-20 mA output current is proportional to the level in the tank. The local digital display alternately displays loop current and level expressed in the unit (% or engineering unit) shown in the low left corner of the screen. Reading of the instrument database is possible. MANUAL Mode : enter the manual mode when instrument configuration, calibration or diagnostic (set up or reading of diagnostic parameters) is required. The output current is not proportional to the tank level in this mode. FAILSAFE Mode : the instrument automatically sets to the failsafe mode when an error or an alarm has occurred. The output current is set to the value entered in the CONFIGURATION Menu.
5.1.2 Pushbuttons
Three pushbuttons (27) are located under the plate (80) on the front of the instrument. Remove the three screws (125). The left button is marked with a star D, the middle button with the sign , and the right one with the sign +.

NOTE : The electronic circuit has been factory adjusted during instrument manufacturing to 4-20 mA, using a reference milliammeter. So, for calibration on site, no measurement instrument is required. However, if the loop current must be verified and if full compliance with standards requirements for instruments installed in hazardous areas is required, insert the milliammeter in series with the power supply or connect it to the electronic board provided into the connection compartment. Put the switch on the TEST position. Connect the milliammeter on the two pins located on each side of the switch. Before disconnecting the milliammeter put the switch back on the position identified by v. See Figure 19.

15
5.3.2 To Set up Parameters

5.3.2.1 Calibrate the Specific Gravity Meter
This adjustment is made at the factory for complete instruments. Use of the specific gravity function [SGMETER] aids in performing on site new calibrations of simulations with or without liquid.
It should be modified only if zero and span calibration are performed again for a liquid of different specific gravity. Refer to Section 5.3.3.4 Calibration, Steps 1 to 7.
5.3.2.3 Service Specific Gravity [SG SER]

The service specific gravity is the one used for the function [SG SER] in the CALIBRATION Menu. Its value is identical to that of [SG CAL] just after calibration. If the specific gravity of the process liquid is different, modify the value of [SG SER]. Two cases are possible : a) If the specific gravity of the liquid is unknown, you must first measure specific gravity of the liquid by using the function [SGMETER]. See Section 5.3.1, then proceed as follows : b) If the specific gravity is known, it can be modified, regardless of what the liquid level in the displacer chamber is. To adjust the value : Move into the CALIBRATION Menu until [CALIBR], [CHG SG] then [SG SER] are displayed. Validate by D to enter SETVAL menu and set the specific gravity. Return to normal operation. Caution : In interface service , if the [LSG SER] and/or [HSG SER] are modified, an automatic calculation is performed to set a new value in [ZERO <>].
Caution : The Specific Gravity Meter function is factory calibrated at a specific gravity of 1 for complete instrument only if the displacer volume is lower than 1270 cm3 and the weight is 1362 g. For an instrument delivered alone with a torque tube, the Specific Gravity Meter function is factory calibrated at a SG 1 for a displacer with 907 cm3 / 1362 g. If actual displacer characteristics differs from these values, recalibration is necessary and will be possible only if displacer volume is lower than 1270 cm3 and service specific gravity x displacer volume is lower than 1270 :
Proceed as follows : a. Move to CALIBRATION Menu (APPENDIX C) until [SGM CAL], then [SG CAL] are displayed. Validate by D to enter SETVAL menu and set the specific gravity of 1. Store data. b. Empty the chamber or simulate the low level by using weights and stabilize the displacer (or the weights). c. Display [ZERO ] and press D to set the REF L.
NOTE : During the procedure, refer to Section 5.3.2.6 if the LCD displays [ERROR]. d. Attach a set of weights to the torque arm to simulate a high level or fill the displacer chamber until the high level is reached. Stabilize the displacer (or the weight). On site : Fill the displacer chamber until high level (REF H) is reached by a specific gravity 1 liquid.
In workshop : Simulate by weights the high level (REF H) corresponding to the apparent weight of the actual displacer fully immersed in a specific gravity 1 liquid. e. Display [SPAN ] and press D to set the REF H, f. Move until [< ] is displayed and press D to store data via [STORAGE] and [YES NO] screens. [CAL Z S] is displayed, g. Exit the CALIBRATION Menu via [<MANU] and D then move into the DIAGNOSTIC menu (APPENDIX D) until [RD CTR] then [SGMETER] are displayed. Push D to read the value and check if the calibration is successful. Return to NORMAL Operation Mode.
5.3.2.4 Output Current Damping [DAMPING]

In case of rapid oscillations of the level or if the liquid is in motion, it may be necessary to filter the output signal. A first order digital filter is provided for adjusting the damping coefficient. Enter the CALIBRATION Menu, move to display [VAR SET], then [DAMPING] and validate by D to enter SETVAL menu and set the filtering coefficient. Return to normal operation.
5.3.2.5 Reduced Range and /or Zero Shift [SPAN > <], [ZERO <>]
For an application where the level change is smaller than the displacer height, it is possible to obtain the full signal range for this reduced level range. Enter the CALIBRATION Menu, move to display [VAR SET], then [ZERO <>] and validate by D to enter SETVAL menu and set the zero shift value. Return to the [ZERO <>] screen by D, Move to display [SPAN > <] and validate by D to enter SETVAL menu and set the span reduction value. Return to display [SPAN > <] screen by D, Move until [< ] is displayed and press D to store data via [STORAGE] and [YES NO] screens. [VAR SET] is displayed,
5.3.2.2 Calibration Specific Gravity [SG CAL]

The calibration specific gravity is that of the liquid used (or simulated by weights) for calibration of zero and span in the CALIBRATION Menu.
16
5.3.2.6 Error Code on Zero and Span Set

a) The value of the span can be accepted before or after the zero value is entered. If you accept the zero without simulating the corresponding level change, the LCD displays [ERROR]. Press D to delete the message and then perform (or simulate) the level change before acquiring the new value. b) The LCD may also display [ERROR] for a new calibration if : The zero value is higher or equal to the span of the preceding calibration. If so, accept and store the span first and then the zero. Figure 11 Schematic Example of Reduced Range The span value of the new calibration is smaller than the zero value of the preceding calibration. If so, accept and store the zero value first and then the span.
Exit the CALIBRATION Menu via [<MANU] and D then return to NORMAL Operation Mode via the MANUAL Mode.
Example : To modify a calibration so that 0 % corresponds to a displacer immersed to 1/4 of its height (25 %), and 100 % corresponds to a displacer immersed to 4 / 5 of its height (80 %), adjust zero shift to 25 % and span reduction to 45 %, (see schematic on Figure 11).
5.3.3 Calibration (for Level Instrument Service)

5.3.3.1 Principle of Calibration
The electronic circuit is calibrated towards two reference levels (REF L and REF H), see Schematic below : REF L corresponds to the displacer completely out of liquid.
Caution : If new calibration is performed, the parameters of the reduced range [SPAN > <] and/or zero shift function [ZERO <>] are automatically set to zero. In interface service : If the [LSG SER] and/or [HSG SER] are modified, an automatic calculation is performed to set a new value in [ZERO <>].
REF H corresponds to the displacer fully immersed in the liquid of Specific Gravity used for calibration [SG CAL]. The loop current corresponding to REF L may be set through [MA L] via [VAR SET] ; it is generally 4 mA. The current corresponding to REF H may be set through [MA H] via [VAR SET] ; it is generally 20 mA.
17
The value of [MA H] shall always be higher than the value of [MA L]. The level indication corresponding to REF L is set through function [LEVEL L] via [VAR SET] ; it is expressed in the unit set through [UNIT] function ; if UNIT is %, LEVEL L should be 0.0. The level indication corresponding to REF H is set through function [LEVEL H] via [VAR SET] ; it is expressed in the unit set through [UNIT] function ; if UNIT is %, LEVEL H should be 100.0. The electronic circuit is calibrated so that the indicator range 4-20 mA corresponds to the indication of a milliammeter inserted in series with the supply circuit of the DLT. Therefore it is not necessary to connect a milliammeter when performing an on site calibration ; the instrument display is sufficient. Danger : Connection of a milliammeter in series must be compatible with applicable hazardous area standards requirements. Refer to Section 4.4.4.
Wait for the displacer to stabilize to validate the values displayed after each change in liquid level. Take actions necessary to allow a change in the liquid level in the chamber : open/close isolation valves, vent, purge, etc. Proceed as indicated under 5.3.3.4 Calibration :
5.3.3.4 Calibration
1. Switch on the power. Attach a set of weights to the torque arm to simulate a low level or empty the displacer chamber. 2. Enter the CALIBRATION Menu and press in sequence : D (or + or ), +, D, D, +, D, to display [CALIBR], 3. Set the Specific Gravity value of the liquid used for calibration [SG CAL]. Refer to Section 5.1.4.8 for the SETVAL sub-menu, 4. Display [ZERO ] and press D to set the REF L,
5.3.3.2 Conditions for Dry Calibration in Workshop (Simulation by Weights)

Caution : When performing a calibration, use the following parameter units wherever they apply :
Parameter Name Displacer Weight Displacer Volume Water Density (WD) S.I Units g cm3 1 g/cm3 English Units lbm in3 0.036 lbm/in3
NOTE : During the procedure, refer to Section 5.3.2.6 if the LCD displays [ERROR].
5. Attach a set of weights to the torque arm to simulate a high level or fill the displacer chamber until the high level is reached, 6. Display [SPAN ] and press D to set the REF H, 7. Move until [< ] is displayed and press D to store data via [STORAGE] and [YES NO] screens. [CAL Z S] is displayed, 8. Move to [VAR SET] to display successively [MA L], [MA H], [LEVEL L], [LEVEL H] and, if needed, set the currents and levels corresponding to REF L and REF H, 9. Display [UNIT ] and define the unit for level indication, 10. If necessary, display [DAMPING] and set the damping action applied to the loop current. (Ref. to Section 5.3.2.4), 11. If necessary, set zero and span for reduced range. (Ref. to Section 5.3.2.5), 12. Move until [< ] is displayed and press D to store data via [STORAGE] and [YES NO] screens. [VAR SET] is displayed, 13. When the calibration is completed, move into the menu until [<MANU] is displayed, then press D to exit the CALIBRATION Menu and to display [MANUAL], 14. Press D , , D : [NORMAL] appears for a few seconds and the instrument automatically returns to Normal Operating display, 15. Reinstall the front plate (80) with the three screws (125).
The effective change in level will be simulated by a set of weights corresponding to : a) The weight of the actual displacer at low level (REF L), which allows you to calibrate the zero and obtain the minimum value [ 0,0%] of the signal (direct action). b) The apparent displacer weight when the level is high (REF H). This allows you to calibrate the span and obtain the maximum value [100,0%] of the signal (direct action). The corresponding weight is calculated as : Apparent Displacer Weight =
Displacer Actual Weight (Displacer Actual Volume x S.G.x WD)
Caution : Actual volume and weight of the displacer can be read using HART protocol only if they have been previously stored in the DLT head. Otherwise, actual volume of the displacer is marked on the specification plate (124). Weigh the displacer to get the actual weight. Proceed as indicated under 5.3.3.4 Calibration :
5.3.3.3 Conditions for Calibration in the field with a Liquid

The effective change in level will be obtained by emptying and filling of the displacer chamber with a liquid.
18
NOTE : The calibration specific gravity [SG CAL] is automatically stored in the service specific gravity function [SG SER]. If the instrument is to be used with a liquid of different specific gravity, reenter the CALIBRATION Menu to set and accept this new value in [SG SER]. (See Section 5.3.2.3).
The electronic circuit is calibrated so that the indicator range 4-20 mA corresponds to the indication of a milliammeter inserted in series with the supply circuit of the DLT. Therefore it is not necessary to connect a milliammeter when performing an on site calibration ; the instrument display is sufficient. Danger : Connection of a milliammeter in series must be compatible with applicable hazardous area standards and requirements. Refer to Section 4.4.4.
5.3.4 Calibration of an Instrument for Liquid Interface Service

5.3.4.1 Principle of Calibration
The level transmitter is used to measure the interface level of two immiscible liquids of different specific gravities. The displacer must always be fully immersed. The electronic circuit is calibrated towards two reference levels (REF L and REF H) : REF L corresponds to the displacer completely out of liquid. REF H corresponds to the displacer fully immersed in the liquid of Specific Gravity used for calibration [SG CAL]. The loop current corresponding to REF L may be set through [MA L] via [VAR SET] ; it is generally 4 mA. The current corresponding to REF H may be set through [MA H] via [VAR SET] ; it is generally 20 mA. The value of [MA H] shall always be higher than the value of [MA L]. The level indication corresponding to REF L is set through function [LEVEL L] via [VAR SET] ; it is expressed in the unit set through [UNIT] function ; if UNIT is %, LEVEL L should be 0.0. The level indication corresponding to REF H is set through function [LEVEL H] via [VAR SET] ; it is expressed in the unit set through [UNIT] function ; if UNIT is %, LEVEL H should be 100.0.
5.3.4.2. General Information on interface service displacers

Under this Section we will consider a standard displacer any displacer with the following characteristics : Volume V : 1270 cm 3 ( 77 in 3 ), marked on specification plate (124), Product of V x SG 1270, Weight = 1362 g (3 lbm).
A standard displacer may be used when the liquid specific gravity difference is between 0.1 and 1.4 (with lower accuracy between 0.1 to 0.2). The lowest specific gravity (d1) liquid is 1.3 max. The highest specific gravity (d2) liquid is between 0.1 and 1.4. Caution : Special displacers may be provided for specific applications (material, service conditions). In these cases, volume and/or weight will differ from standard displacer characteristics. Actual volume and weight of the displacer can be read using HART protocol only if they have been previously stored in the DLT head. Otherwise, actual volume of the displacer is marked on the specification plate (124).
19
Weight of the displacer is only necessary on dry calibration to simulate the apparent weight of the displacer immersed into the liquids : Weigh the displacer to get the actual weight.
5. Set and store [SPAN] for interface configuration. 6. Quit CALIBRATION Menu. 7. In the DIAGNOSTIC Menu, move to [SGMETER]. The specific gravity displayed must correspond to the specific gravity of the liquid in the chamber. This assumes the [SGMETER] has been calibrated. 8. Slowly empty the chamber until the LCD displays the lowest S.G. value (d 1 ) and record this value. 9. Quit the [SGMETER] function and the DIAGNOSTIC Menu. 10. Return to CALIBRATION Menu. 11.

NOTE : During following procedures, refer to Section 5.3.2.6 if the LCD displays [ERROR].
5.3.4.2.1 Wet Calibration The effective change in level will be obtained by emptying and filling of the displacer chamber with the two liquids . Wait for the displacer to stabilize to validate the values displayed after each change in interface of liquids. Take actions necessary to allow a change in the interface of liquids in the chamber : open/close isolation valves, vent, purge, etc. The procedure is identical to the one used for calibrating a level transmitter in a liquid on site (see Section 5.3.3.4), except for the differences outlined below.
c. On Site Using Water if the Highest Specific Gravity (d2) is 1 Caution : This procedure is only possible if the [SGMETER] function has been calibrated. Refer to Section 5.3.1. 1.

Enter the DIAGNOSTIC Menu and move to [SGMETER]. 3. Increase the water level in the displacer chamber until LCD displays the value of the process lowest specific gravity (d1). 4. Quit [SGMETER] and enter the CALIBRATION Menu. Move until [CAL Z S], then [LSG CAL] and [HSG CAL] is displayed to enter (d1) and (d2). 5. Set and store [ZERO] for this water level (d1). 6. Quit the CALIBRATION Menu and return to [SGMETER] in the DIAGNOSTIC Menu. 7. Increase the water level in the displacer chamber until the LCD displays the value of the highest specific gravity (d2). 8. Quit [SGMETER] and the DIAGNOSTIC Menu, then return to CALIBRATION Menu. 9. Set and store the [SPAN] for this new water level (d2). 10. Complete the calibration as indicated in Steps 7 to 15 of the Section 5.3.3.4.
a. With the Process Liquids 1. Enter the specific gravities to be used for calibration by using the functions [LSG CAL] and [HSG CAL]. 2. Take necessary action to allow change in liquid interface level in the displacer chamber such as isolating, vent, purge valves etc....It is then necessary to put liquids in the chamber to: 3. Set the [ZERO] when the displacer is fully immersed in the lowest specific gravity liquid (d1). 4. Set the [SPAN] when the displacer is fully immersed in the highest specific gravity liquid (d2). 5. Complete the calibration as indicated in Steps 7 to 15 of the Section 5.3.3.4.
b. With the Highest Specific Gravity Liquid (d2) Caution : This procedure is only possible if the [SGMETER] function has been calibrated. Refer to Section 5.3.1. 1. Take necessary action to allow change in liquid interface level in the displacer chamber such as isolating, vent, purge valves etc.... and then : 2. Enter the CALIBRATION Menu. 3. Enter the specific gravities to be used for calibration by using the functions [LSG CAL] and [HSG CAL]. 4. Admit liquid (d 2 ) into the chamber to fully immerse the displacer.

5.3.4.2.2. Dry Calibration Conditions for Dry Calibration in a Workshop (Simulation by Weights)
b. With or Without Liquid in the Displacer Chamber (Use of Adjusting Screws to calibrate)
Caution : When performing a calibration, use the following parameter units wherever they apply :
Parameter Name Displacer Weight Displacer Volume Water Density (WD) S.I Units g cm3 1 g/cm3 English Units lbm in3 0.036 lbm/in3
Caution : This procedure is only possible if the [SGMETER] function has been calibrated. Refer to Section 5.3.1.
This method uses the [SGMETER] function (set in workshop), to adjust the screws (114) to the interface specific gravities. If a milliammeter is not required, this calibration may be performed with the case closed. Open the access plug (107) on the right side of the case to look at the simulation mechanism. Remove plug (190) and the two 1/8 NPT plugs (115). (Use a 5 mm Hex. wrench). Through this hole, use your finger to move the flexure (59) in the direction of the torque tube until the flexure touches the adjusting screw post (114). While maintaining contact, slide the flexure left or right along the surface of the screw post, (Figure 12).
Caution : Actual volume and weight of the displacer can be read using HART function only if they have been previously stored in the DLT head. Otherwise, actual volume of the displacer is marked on the specification plate (124). Weight of the displacer is only necessary on dry calibration to simulate the apparent weight of the displacer immersed in the liquids : Weigh the displacer to get the actual weight.
a. In the Workshop (Simulation by Weights) The procedure is identical to the one used for a normal level transmitter service (see Section 5.3.3.4), except the set of weights is calculated as follows : To simulate an interface at 0 % (REF L) and calibrate the zero, attach to the torque arm a weight equal to the actual displacer weight when fully immersed in the lowest specific gravity liquid , which is calculated as :
Displacer Apparent Weight for REF L = Displ. Actual Weight (Displ. Actual Volume x d1 x WD)
Adjusting the Screws (114) Adjust the screw (114) on the displacer side, relative to the instrument axis, to simulate the force on the displacer resulting from the highest specific gravity of the process liquids (d2). Adjust the screw (114) on the opposite side to the displacer to simulate the force on the displacer resulting from the lowest specific gravity of the process liquids (d1).
Caution : During the dry calibration without mechanism chamber, DO NOT ATTACH A SPECIAL INTERFACE SERVICE DISPLACER (OR ITS EQUIVALENT EFFECTIVE WEIGHT) on the torque arm. These displacers are heavier than those for liquid level service. Any mechanical stop is possible out of mechanism chamber, causing inevitable damage to the torque tube and/or the DLT mechanism. To simulate an interface at 100 % (REF H) and calibrate the span, attach to the torque arm a weight equal to the effective displacer weight when fully immersed in the highest specific gravity liquid, which is calculated as :
Displacer Apparent Weight for REF H = Displ. Actual Weight (Displ. Actual Volume x d2 x WD)
Enter in [LSG CAL] and [HSG CAL] the process liquids specific gravities (d1) and (d2).

Proceed as follows : 1. Remove the front plate (80). Enter the DIAGNOSTIC Menu then move to [SGMETER] and accept by D. 2. Press the flexure (59) against the adjusting screw shoulder (114) which corresponds to the lowest specific gravity, d1. While maintaining contact and using a 3 mm hex wrench, turn the adjusting screw until LCD displays d1. 3. Press the flexure (59) against the adjusting screw shoulder (114) which corresponds to the highest specific gravity, d2. While maintaining contact and using a 3 mm hex wrench, turn the adjusting screw until LCD displays d2. 4. Slowly move from one shoulder to the other (to avoid displacer oscillations) and verify the value displayed. Correct adjustments if necessary. 5. Quit the [SGMETER] function and return to [MANUAL] display. Calibration with screws (114) 1. Enter the CALIBRATION Menu and move to display [CHG SG], then [LSG SER] and [HSG SER]. Read these two values and return to [CHG SG].
2. Move to [CAL Z S] then to [LSG CAL] and [HSG CAL] to enter the specific gravities (d1) and (d2). 3. Move to display [ZERO]. Press the flexure (59) to contact the lowest specific gravity adjusting screw (114) (opposite to the displacer side). Wait for a few seconds until the displacer stabilizes and accept the zero value. 4. Move to display [SPAN]. Move the flexure (59) to contact the shoulder of the screw (114) corresponding to the highest specific gravity (on displacer side). Wait a few seconds until displacer is stable and accept the span value. 5. Release the flexure. 6. Complete the calibration as indicated in Steps 7 to 15 of the Section 5.3.3.4. 7. Reinstall plugs (107), (190), and (115).
NOTE : If the displacer chamber is empty, the LCD will display an incorrect negative value. The zero of the LCD is correct only when the displacer is fully immersed in the lowest specific gravity liquid.
Moving the flexure from one shoulder to the other varies the display and the loop current from 0 to 100 %.

CAUTIONS
1. Do not remove the main cover (20) or the connection compartment cover (104) without first switching off the power supply or verifying that the instrument is installed in an intrinsically safe circuit or is not installed in an explosive atmosphere. 2. Operations described below may require you to open the mechanism compartment. Before returning the instrument to normal operation, verify that both covers and the plug are correctly reassembled with gaskets in good condition. Use only original Masoneilan parts. Pay particular attention to the plug (190), which includes a compressible gasket (192).
6.1 Removing the DLT Case From the Torque Tube (Figures 13, 14, 15 & 21).
a. Switch off power supply. Unscrew (106) until it disengages from the case and remove the cover (104) of the connection compartment. Disconnect supply wires from terminals (90). b. Remove cover (107) of the mechanism compartment. Using a 2.5 mm hex wrench, loosen screw (62) to uncouple the beam (54) from the torque rod. c. While holding the case to prevent it from falling, loosen the four screws (121), using a 5 mm hex wrench, and remove them along with the washers (122). Remove the case by pulling it along the axis of the torque tube while being careful to prevent any deformation of the coupling flexure (70).
22
d. If the original case or an identical one will be reinstalled on the same torque tube, do not remove the coupling flange (116) from the torque rod. Also, do not disconnect the coupling flexure subassembly (70). As an alternative, loosen screws (119) using a 1.5 mm hex wrench and remove the coupling flange-flexure sub-assembly (116-70). e. If the torque tube is not the 12300 type, remove the DLT case adapter kit, if necessary. This kit includes a flange, a gasket, and screws, (see Figure 14).
6.2 How to Install a DLT on a Torque Tube (see Figures 1, 13, 17 & 21)
6.2.1 On a 12200/300 Series Torque Tube
a. Mount the torque tube (137) on a support. The knife pivot at the back of the tube must be oriented toward the top. b. On the transmission rod (138), mount the coupling flange (116), coupling flexure S/A (70) [incl. flexure (71), pin (72) and washer (73)], flange (117) and its two loosened screws (118). Tighten screws (118) so that the sub-assembly is free to slide on the transmission rod, (see Figure 13). c. Position the sub-assembly vertically on the rod so that the distance between the coupling flexure (71) and the torque tube flange, (see Figure 21) is 59.5 mm 0.5. Firmly tighten this sub-assembly to the rod, using the two lateral screws (119). d. Mount a new O-ring (120) on the torque tube flange. e. Verify that the screw (62) on the beam (54) is loose. f. Position the case correctly oriented toward the front and in line with the axis of the torque tube. g. Slide the case into the torque tube flange while observing through the side opening that the pin (72) is inserted into the beam coupling end. Use a flat tool to easy backup the coupling flexure (71). h. When the case is in contact with the torque tube flange, verify that the beam is free to rotate by placing your finger on the flexure (59) through the lower 3/4 NPT hole. i. Fasten the case with four screws (121) and washers (122). Firmly tighten. j. Verify again that the beam is free to rotate and that the coupling flexure (71) is not deformed. The coupling on the beam (54) will be tightened later. Figure 13 Adjustment of Coupling Flexure (71) on Coupling Flange (116)
6.2.2 12120/12800 Series Torque Tube (See Figure 14)

The transmitter can be mounted on different types of existing torque tubes. Kits including flange, gasket, and screws are provided for the adapter tubes.
6.2.3 Workshop Calibration of Coupling

Coupling between torque tube and mechanism is achieved by simulating a 1.4 specific gravity liquid. The value of the weights is determined by the formula below, (see section d).
NOTE : It is necessary to know the mounting direction (right or left) and the action direction of the signal (direct or reverse) refer to Section 5.1.4.4 CONFIGURATION Menu and APPENDIX B.
a. Using a support, install the transmitter and its torque tube. b. Remove the screw (106 ), the covers (104 & 107) of the connection and mechanism compartments, and the plug (190) located at the bottom of the instrument. c. Assemble the standard torque arm on the right or left side as required. (Refer to Figure 7). d. Attach to the torque arm a weight equivalent to that of a displacer half immersed in a 1.4 specific gravity liquid :
Calibr. Weight = Displacer Actual Weight Displacer Actual Volume x WD x 1.4 2
NOTE : At this point, if instrument service conditions are well defined, refer to Section 6.2.3 Instrument Coupling to the Torque Tube in Workshop or Section 6.2.4 Instrument Coupling to the Torque Tube on Site
e. Connect a 24 V dc supply (switch OFF) to the terminals in the connection compartment in series with a milliammeter. Note polarities. f. Proceed with configuration of the instrument. Refer to Section 5.1.4.4 CONFIGURATION Menu and APPENDIX B.

h. By looking through the side orifice, verify that the screw (62) coupling end of the beam (54) is loose. Through the 3/ 4 NPT hole at the bottom of the case, press the flexure (59) with your finger to verify it is possible to move the beam (54) from left to right. The value displayed should vary accordingly. Pin (72) must rotate freely inside the coupling end of the beam. i. Look at the mechanism through the lateral orifice, and index the oval hole of the flexure towards the special conical ended pin (53) by bending the flexure (59) toward the case front, (see Figure 15). Note the value read on the LCD it should be between 5 and + 5 %.
NOTE : At this step, verify that the weight used to simulate the displacer is stable. To obtain the ideal value (around 0 %), it may be necessary to slightly bend the flexure towards left or right (while keeping the conical pin (53) in the oval hole of the flexure).
j. While holding the flexure (59) in that position, slightly but firmly tighten the screw (62) using a 2.5 mm Allen wrench. k. Remove your finger so that the flexure disengages the conical pin. l. Read the value on the LCD. It should remain between 5 and + 5 %.

Figure 16 Curve of Half Level Simulation in a Liquid with S.G. Between 0.7 and 1.4
Figure 15 Indexing for Coupling Adjustment
If the specific gravity (d3) (or the difference of the SG in case of an interface service) of the available liquid is below 0.7, perform the coupling at a high level. Caution : In this situation, the instrument must be used for specific gravities (or the difference of SG) ranging from 0.2 to 2 d3. a. If necessary, assemble the right adapter kit and verify that the torque tube is satisfactory See Sections 6.2.1 or 6.2.2. b. Install the instrument see Section 6.2.1 or 6.2.2. c. Make electrical connections See Section 4.4. d. Proceed with configuration of the instrument. Refer to Section 5.1.4.4 CONFIGURATION menu. e. Set the coupling between torque tube and mechanism subassembly See Section 6.2.3, Steps g to m. f. Calibrate the instrument See Section 5.3.3 or 5.3.4.
NOTE : The torque applied to tighten the screw (62) will change the value read after Step i. So, if the displayed value is not acceptable, take note of the value gap between before and after tightening screw (62). Loose screw (62) and repeat steps h to m noting the value gap during the new Step i.
m. If the displayed value is acceptable, adjust the specific gravity meter function [SGMETER] into [SGM CAL] (Section 5.3.2.1). Set adjusting screws (Section 6.2.5). Perform instrument calibration (Section 5.3.3 or 5.3.4).
6.2.4 Coupling to the Torque Tube on Site (in the Process Liquid)
The DLT case can be mounted on an installed torque tube. In this case, procedures described in Section 6.2.3 should be performed on site. In coupling the torque tube to the mechanism subassembly (which starts at step 6.2.3. d), two situations may occur : If the specific gravity (or the difference of the SG in case of an interface service) of the available liquid is between 0.7 and 1.4 : simulate half level h (1.4) of a 1.4 specific gravity liquid with a calculated value h (d) of the available liquid (refer to chart Figure 16).
6.2.5 Setting Adjusting Screws for SG 1 in Level Service (Figures 12 & 19 to 21)
Two screws (114) are located in holes on the side of the case, closed by two plugs 1/8 NPT (115). They are positioned at factory assembly using the step following specific gravity meter calibration, (refer to Section 5.3.2.1). They can be adjusted at the time of calibration.
25
These adjusting screws allow the user on site : For level interface service : To calibrate the instrument, with or without liquid, (see Section 5.3.4.2.2, b.). For liquid level service : To simulate, without liquid, a change in level of a specific gravity 1 liquid. In this last case, proceed as follows : Caution : This procedure is only possible if the [SGMETER] function has been calibrated. Refer to Section 5.3.1. To adjust stops, put the instrument into the preceding calibrated specific gravity meter function [SGMETER] (Refer to APPENDIX D). Open the access plug (107) to look at the simulation mechanism. Remove the 3/4 NPT plug (190) located at the bottom of instrument. Through the 3/ 4 NPT opening, use your finger to move the flexure (59) in the direction of the torque tube until it seats on the smooth end of the screws (114). While maintaining pressure, slide the flexure to the right or the left until it stops against the screw shoulder. See Figure 12. Relative to the instrument axis, adjust the screw on displacer side to simulate a high level of S.G. 1 liquid (REF H). Use the screw on the side opposite to the displacer to simulate a low level (REF L) (displacer chamber empty).
6.3 Removing a Torque Tube with assembled DLT Case (see Figure 17)
a. Switch off power supply. b. For instruments with a displacer chamber, close isolation valves, and purge the chamber. c. Remove upper flange (146) and blind flange (144). d. Lower the torque arm (135) and unhook the displacer (130). A hook-shaped 3 mm steel wire will facilitate unhooking and holding of the displacer. The wire may be inserted through the clevis hole. e. Remove the two torque arm screws (133) and remove the torque arm (135) from the chamber. f. Remove displacer from its chamber (131) or tank. g. Be sure that requirements for instruments installed in explosive areas are strictly followed. Remove screw (106) from connection compartment and unscrew cover (104). Disconnect supply electrical wires and other equipment from terminals (90). h. Remove nuts (142) holding the torque tube subassembly and slide the subassembly out of the mechanism chamber.
In practice, proceed as follows : a. Simulate low level (REF L) : In the workshop, attach to the displacer arm a weight equal to actual displacer. On site, the displacer chamber should be empty. b. Remove plugs (115) using a 5 mm hex wrench. c. Using the push buttons, enter the DIAGNOSTIC Menu and move to the specific gravity meter function [SGMETER]. Validate by D. The LCD display a value around [ 0.000]. d. With your finger, move the flexure (59) until it seats on the shoulder of the screw opposite to the displacer. Adjust screw (114) until LCD displays a value as close as possible to [ 0.000]. e. Move the flexure (59) until it contacts the shoulder of the displacer side screw. Adjust screw until LCD displays a value as close as possible to [ 1.000]. f. Quit the DIAGNOSTIC Menu and return to NORMAL Operation. g. Release the flexure. h. Reassemble the plugs (115-107-190).

6.4 Installing a Torque Tube with assembled DLT Case (Figure 18)
CAUTION : The following method is valid only if the coupling between beam and torque rod has already been adjusted for the required mounting direction. (See Section 6.2.3). The case mounting direction for which the coupling has been made may be identified as follows : When the case is mounted and coupled to the torque tube (without torque arm or displacer), the tip of the conical pin (53) is aligned with one side of the oval hole in the flexure (59) : Left mounting : see Figure 18 a. Right mounting : see Figure 18 b. For installation, reverse the procedure outlined for removing a DLT case and torque tube subassembly (Section 6.3). It is recommended that new gaskets (143 - 149) be used when installation is performed, (refer to Figure 17).
calibrated for the specific application required by the customer. In such a case, however, it is recommended that you check the adjustments of the specific gravity meter function, adjusting screws, and the calibration, before returning the instrument to normal service.
6.5 Reversing Instrument Case Mounting Relative to Displacer Position (Left or Right) (Figures 17, 19 to 21)

Conditions to Calibration on Site in a Liquid

The effective change in level will be obtained by emptying and filling of the displacer chamber with a liquid. Wait that the displacer is stabilized to validate the values displayed after each change in liquid level. Take actions necessary to allow a change in the liquid level in the chamber : open/close isolation valves, vent, purge, etc. Now, proceed as indicated under Calibration :
Before installation, connection and start to running, carefully read Section 2. Protection Standard and Section 3. Installation. For explanations to general principles, the liquid crystal display, the push buttons and how to use the menus, refer to Sections 5.1 and 5.1.1 to 5.1.3. For the menus description, refer to Section 5.1.4. To perform the instrument calibration proceed as follows : After the 12300 Level Transmitter has been installed, remove the front plate (80) located in front of the instrument to gain access to the push buttons. In NORMAL MODE (refer to APPENDIX A), the instrument displays alternatively the loop current and the level expressed in the unit (% or engineering unit) shown in the low left corner of the screen. Stroking any of the button enters a sub-menu which allows to go to a MANUAL MODE where the instrument can be configured, calibrated and diagnosed :
CALIBRATION (Appendix C)
Conditions to Dry Calibration in Workshop (Simulation by Weights)
Caution : When performing a calibration, use the following parameter units wherever they apply : Parameter Name S.I Units English Units Displacer Weight g lbm in3 Displacer Volume cm3 Water Density (WD) 1 g/cm3 0.036 lbm/in3
The effective change in level will be simulated by a set of weights corresponding to : a) The weight of the actual displacer at low level (REF L), which allows you to calibrate the zero and obtain the minimum value [ 0,0%] of the signal (direct action). b) The apparent displacer weight when the level is high (REF H). This allows you to calibrate the span and obtain the maximum value [100,0%] of the signal (direct action). The corresponding weight is calculated as :
Apparent Displacer Weight = Displacer Actual Weight (Displacer Actual Volume x S.G.x WD)
Calibration
1. Attach a set of weights to the torque arm to simulate a low level or empty the displacer chamber. Switch on the power, 2. Enter the CALIBRATION Menu and press in sequence : D (or + or ), +, D, D, +, D, to display [CALIBR], 3. Set the Specific Gravity value of the liquid used for calibration [SG CAL]. Refer to Section 5.1.4.8 for the SETVAL sub-menu, 4. Display [ZERO ] and press D to take account the REF L, NOTE : During the procedure, refer to Section 5.3.2.6 if the LCD displays [ERROR]. 5. Attach a set of weights to the torque arm to simulate a high level or fill the displacer chamber until the high level is reached,
NOTE : In the CONFIGURATION AND CALIBRATION menus of APPENDIX B & C, the screens which are only necessary for the first operation and simple calibration are highlighted by means of the white text on a colored background.
NOTE : The calibration specific gravity [SG CAL] is automatically stored in the service specific gravity function [SG SER]. If the instrument is to be used with a liquid of different specific gravity, reenter the CALIBRATION Menu to set and accept this new value in [SG SER] to avoid the recalibration. (See Section 5.3.2.3).
CONFIGURATION (Appendix B)
To enter the CONFIGURATION Menu from the Normal operating mode, press in sequence : D (or + or ), +, D, D, D, to display [CONFIG]. Select all required configuration data indicated bellows : the instrument function (level or interface), the direction of head mounting (left or right towards the displacer when facing the LCD window), the action (direct :current increases with level ; reverse : current decreases when level increases), the language of the display (english or french).
Caution : Special displacer may be provided for specific applications (material, service conditions). In this case, volume and/or weight will differ from standard displacer characteristics. Actual volume and weight of the displacer can be read using HART function only if they have been previously stored in the DLT head. Otherwise, actual volume of the displacer is marked on the specification plate (124). Weight the displacer to get the actual weight.
SPECIFIC MODES
This annex describes two specific operating modes. 1 Push button locking.
In MANUAL MODE, the use of push button can be locked by sending a specific HART message with the 275 communicator (loaded with the relevant DDL). This locking prevents any change in the menus CONFIGURATION, CALIBRATION and DIAGNOSTIC. However, the MANUAL MODE can be unlocked when using the password stored in the HDLT during the 275 communicator locking operation. Th MANUAL MODE is automatically locked again when the user go back to NORMAL MODE. The MANUAL MODE unlocking through the push buttons is then temporary. The sketch below indicates how unlocking the MANUAL MODE with the pasword:
APPENDIX F
Remarks :
- The controller set point can be modified even if the push buttons are locked. - The loop current doesn't indicate the liquid level but the controller output (which is the valve position set point). - The controller set point is always displayed by the LCD in level unit. - If the set point and level units are different, the ratio control is activated and you have to calculate and enter the good values of the Ratio gain and Ratio bias (see the 275 communicator instruction EU 3500 HC E). A bad set point display is then avoided.
Controller mode.
When the CONTROLLER MODE is enabled in the CONFIGURATION menu:[CTRL I]; the NORMAL MODE menu is displayed differently. Three data are displayed alternatively: the liquid level, the loop current and the controller set point. The following sketch indicates how to modify the controller setpoint:

HART COMMUNICATOR CONNECTIONS

WARNING : Before connecting the HART Communicator in an explosive atmosphere, make sure the devices in the loop are installed in accordance with intrinsically safe or nonincendive field wiring practices. For more information see the HART Communicator manual: MAN 4250. In addition for explosion proof or flame proof area, a connection on the site through the terminal board is absolutly forbidden.
The HART Communicator can be connected to the HDLT transmitter from different locations: in the control room, on the site through the terminal board on the HDLT head or any wiring termination in the loop. In any case , connect the HART Communicator in parallel with the instrument or a load resistor in the loop. The connection are not polarized. For the HART Communicator to function properly, a minimum of 110 ohms resistance must be present in the loop. See below the wiring connections for non explosive atmosphere.

Level alarms definition and corresponding values in engineering unit. Failsafe validation and corresponding current loop. Time value before to set alarms or time to go to failsafe mode. Set HDLT data base concerning : chamber type, torque tube material, displacer size ... To change controller configuration: setpoint startup, units for setpoint (SP) , direct or reverse action and additional parameters. Remarks : the controller mode must be actived on the HDLT to allows to display controller parameters and to change PID parameters. Engineering units for the controller setpoint. A choice of many units is proposed . This unit is also used by Initial local SP, Low SP value, High SP value, SP low limit, SP high limit. Ratio control is ON : -if controller setpoint unit and level units are different . -if same unit but scale for setpoint and scale for level are not the same. Ratio control is automatically set in case of different units but not for different scale. If ratio control is ON, the two parameters RATIO GAIN and RATIO BIAS must be set using the formula : SP in process variable units = Ratio gain * SP in its units + Ratio bias At power up , in case of micro-controller re-start or if HDLT RESET has been performed , this setpoint will be use by the controller. Controller setpoint low value corresponding to low level of liquid (Low level). Controller setpoint high value corresponding to low level of liquid (High level). Minimum value for the setpoint allowed. Maximum value for the setpoint allowed. Alarm type could be absolute or deviation. This alarm is done on the level of liquid. ABSOLUTE= alarm detection is done on the real level of liquid. DEVIATION=alarm detection is done on the error between the level of liquid and the controller setpoint expressed in the level engineering unit . Controller low alarm. Alarms can be absolute or deviation. This value is expressed in level engineering unit. In case of deviation alarm, the Low alarm limit must be a negative number . Controller high alarm. Alarms can be absolute or deviation. This value is expressed in level engineering unit. In case of deviation alarm, the High alarm limit musy be a positive number .

CONFIG MENU - CTRL PARAMETERS

CTRL PARAMETERS MENU 1-5 Controller action DIRECT or REVERSE action. DIRECT action means the controller output increases if the error=level-setpoint is a positive number. REVERSE action means the controller output increases if the error= setpoint - level is a positive number. The derivative action can be done on the process variable (the level of liquid) or on the error. Controller rate to process the PID algorithm. The value must be between 0.2s and 10.0s. For some very slow process, the rate can be ajusted to avoid instability ,fast controller output change or a satured controller output. In other cases the low value is better to ajust the PID parameters. The general rule is to set the controller rate 10 times greater than the frequency cut of the process. Limits the controller output changes. This value is expressed in % output / second. The maximum value is 500%/s . The controller don't change its current output if the difference between the setpoint and the process variable (level) is less than the Dead zone. The range is 0.0% to 20.0%. It is the controller output at a typical operating steady state.Use in P or PD process algorithm . Can be used in PID algorithm if the setpoint change are small and in stable process. Must be set to zero if not used. Use if the process variable (level) and the setpoint are expressed in different engineering units or in different scales. This variable is used with RATIO BIAS in the following formula: SP in process variable units = Ratio gain * SP in its units + Ratio bias Remarks : the formula is made if RATIO CONTROL is ON. Use if the process variable (level) and the setpoint are expressed in different engineering units or in different scales. This variable is used with RATIO GAIN in the following formula: SP in process variable units = Ratio gain * SP in its units + Ratio bias Remarks : the formula is made if RATIO CONTROL is ON.
