1.2 CONCEPT OF ENTITY APPROVAL

The concept of an Entity Approval allows connection of intrinsically-safe apparatus and intrinsicallysafe associated apparatus, including barriers, that have not been specifically approved as a system.
Refer to Article 504 of the National Electrical Code, NFPA 70, for acceptable wiring methods,
sealing methods, and separation of intrinsically-safe and non-intrinsically safe wiring for United
States installations, or Section 18 of the Canadian Electrical Code for wiring, sealing and separation
requirements for Canadian installations.
Under Entity Approval, connection between an intrinsically-safe apparatus and an intrinsically-safe
associated apparatus is limited as follows:
1. The approved Maximum Open-Circuit Voltage (Voc) of the associated apparatus must be less
than or equal to the Maximum Safe Input Voltage (Vmax) of the intrinsically-safe apparatus.
(Voc # Vmax)
2. The approved Maximum Short-Circuit Current (Isc) of the associated apparatus must be less
than or equal to the Maximum Safe Input Current (Imax) of the intrinsically-safe apparatus.
(Isc # Imax)
3. The approved Maximum Allowable Capacitance (Ca) of the associated apparatus must be
greater than or equal to the sum of the Internal Capacitance (Ci) of the intrinsically-safe
apparatus and the Wiring Capacitance (Cw). (Ca $ Ci + Cw)
4. The approved Maximum Allowable Inductance (La) of the associated apparatus must be
greater than or equal to the sum of the Internal Inductance (Li) of the intrinsically-safe
apparatus and the Wiring Inductance (Lw). (La $ Li + Lw)
Note
If the wiring parameters (capacitance and inductance) are not known, use the following
parameters:
Wiring Capacitance of 60 pF per foot
Wiring Inductance of 0.2 FH per foot
A 100-foot cable has a Cw of 6000 pF (0.006 FF) and a Lw of 20 FH.
When two intrinsically-safe devices are connected and installed in the hazardous location, the same
four entity approval concepts apply. However, they must be applied from both directions: first with
the AutoPILOT as the intrinsically-safe apparatus connected to an intrinsically-safe associated
apparatus (such as a pressure transmitter), then the AutoPILOT as the intrinsically-safe associated
apparatus connected to the intrinsically-safe apparatus (pressure transmitter).

1.3 BARRIER INFORMATION

When the device connected to the AutoPILOT is not an approved intrinsically-safe device for use
in the hazardous location, it must be installed in an non-hazardous area, and an intrinsically-safe
barrier must be wired between the AutoPILOT and the device. The general requirements of the
selected barrier are as follows:
C
C
C
The barrier output must be limited by a resistor such that the output voltage verses current plot
is a straight line between Voc and Isc.
The barrier must be approved for the installation location and hazardous area, and be installed
as instructed by the barrier manufacturer.
The barrier ground must be connected to the Earth Ground.

1.4 WIRING INFORMATION

When installed in the United States in a Class I Division 1 hazardous location, all customer wiring
to the AutoPILOT connections with entity parameters must be made according to Article 504
(Intrinsically Safe Systems) of the National Electrical Code, NFPA 70, including wiring and sealing
methods. For Canadian Class I Division 1 installations, all customer wiring to the AutoPILOT
connections with entity parameters must be made according to Section 18-066 of the Canadian
Electrical Code. Multiple circuits that run in the same multiple-conductor cable must have a
minimum insulation thickness of 0.01 inch (0.25 mm) on each conductor.

2.0 AutoPILOT SYSTEM LISTING

The System Listing of the AutoPILOT includes power systems, RS-232 communication ports,
connections to a standard suite of analog/digital transmitters, connection to up to four
AutoMITTERs, one dedicated external RTD input, and connections to the AutoPULSE Indexer. The
System listing provides two power options: an internal battery with external solar panel, or one of
the Intrinsically Safe COMmunication interfaces (ISCOM). The communication ports included in
the system listing are the Local Port (used with the CHIT) and up to three Host Ports (used with an
ISCOM). The AutoPILOT Main Board provides system termination for three analog inputs from
a suite of optional low-power transmitters, for the optional Rosemount 205 Digital Combo
Transmitter, or for the optional Honeywell MXA145 or MXG170 combination transmitters. The
Comm 3 Terminator option provides an intrinsically safe power and communication connection to
up to four AutoMITTERs wired in parallel, with each AutoMITTER having one temperature input
which can be system wired to one of the Flow Automation RTD Temperature Probe assemblies. The
RTD1 input at TB5 connects to one of the Flow Automation RTD Temperature Probe assemblies.
For positive displacement (PD) meters, a system connection may be made between the AutoPULSE
Indexer and the AutoPILOT or MEB Pulse Input Board(s).
2.1 POWER INPUT SYSTEM CONNECTION

The AutoPILOT is powered by one of two power systems: an internal rechargeable battery with an
external solar panel, or an Intrinsically Safe Communication System (ISCOM 3-0474-004 or 6V
ISCOM 3-0474-016 or 3-0474-025). ISCOM model numbers must be verified to ensure safety.
2.1.1 Internal Power Source with External Solar Panel

The intrinsically safe battery assembly consists of a +6 Vdc, 12 AH rechargeable battery with
associated protective components. The battery assembly charge is maintained with a 2-watt solar
panel. The battery assembly mounts inside the enclosure internal chassis on the backpanel, and may
be shipped outside the unit to avoid shipping damage. To install the battery assembly, lift the battery
assembly above the bracket retaining lip, and lower the battery assembly into the bracket. The power
leads from the battery assembly connect to the flow computer at the power distribution terminal
block TB1 mounted on the equipment panel at positions 1-3 (POS) and 4-6 (NEG).
Mount the solar panel assembly to the pole, route the solar panel wiring through the bottom of the
flow computer enclosure, then connect it to the two-position Molex connector of the battery
assembly.
When the battery needs to be changed, the entire battery assembly must be replaced. Order the
replacement Division 1 battery assembly from Flow Automation (PN# 3-0485-026).

2.1.2 ISCOM 3-0474-004 (Intrinsically-Safe Power and Communications)

The ISCOM 3-0474-004 provides the AutoPILOT with an intrinsically safe +6 Vdc input power, and
an RS-232 link with a Host communication port. ISCOM model numbers must be verified to ensure
safety. This option is not available for Canadian installations. When installed in a Class I Division
1 hazardous location in the United States, all customer wiring to the AutoPILOT must be made
according to Article 504 (Intrinsically Safe Systems) of the National Electrical Code, NFPA 70,
including wiring and sealing methods. Multiple circuits that run in the same multiple-conductor
cable must have a minimum insulation thickness of 0.01 inch (0.25 mm) on each conductor. Refer
to the ISCOM Installation and Wiring Manual (PN# 1-0446-004) for proper installation guidelines
of the ISCOM 3-0474-004.
ISCOM 3-0474-004 Non Intrinsically-Safe Connections

The non intrinsically-safe connections of the ISCOM 3-0474-004 are made to a power source (+8
Vdc to +16 Vdc) and an RS-232 communication device. When installed in the nonhazardous
area, the power source and the communication device are not part of the Listed System and
shall not use or generate more than 250 Volts. The ISCOM 3-0474-004 when mounted inside the
AutoLINK may be installed in a Division 2 or nonhazardous area. Refer to the ISCOM Installation
and Wiring Manual (Flow Automation Part Number 1-0446-004) for proper connection of these
devices to the ISCOM 3-0474-004.
ISCOM 3-0474-004 to AutoPILOT Intrinsically-Safe Connections

The connection between the ISCOM 3-0474-004 and AutoPILOT is an intrinsically-safe connection.
The cable length between the ISCOM 3-0474-004 and the AutoPILOT shall not exceed 200 feet.
Because the AutoPILOT with Div I Comm Expansion Board option provides up to three RS-232
ports, three ISCOMs 3-0474-004 can be connected to the AutoPILOT in non-hazardous area
installations, while the AutoLINK provides only one ISCOM 3-0474-004. Only the primary
ISCOM connected to the AutoPILOT Main Board can supply power to the flow computer.
The IS Power Outputs of a secondary or tertiary ISCOM 3-0474-004 must not be connected.
Refer to Figure 2-1-1 or Figure 2-1-2 for typical System Connection wiring between the ISCOM 30474-004 and AutoPILOT.

2.1.3 6V ISCOM (Intrinsically-Safe Power and Communications)

The 6V ISCOM provides the AutoPILOT with an intrinsically safe +6 Vdc input power, and an RS232 link with a Host communication port. 6V ISCOM 3-0474-016 is Listed for United States
installations, while the 6V ISCOM 3-0474-025 is Listed for United States or Canadian installations.
ISCOM model number must be verified to ensure safety. When installed in a Class I Division 1
hazardous location in the United States, all customer wiring to the AutoPILOT must be made
according to Article 504 (Intrinsically Safe Systems) of the National Electrical Code, NFPA 70,
including wiring and sealing methods. For Canadian installations, all customer wiring to the
AutoPILOT installed in a Class I Division 1 hazardous location must be made according to Section
18-066 of the Canadian Electrical Code. Multiple circuits that run in the same multiple-conductor
to the 6V ISCOM Installation and Wiring Manual (PN# 1-0474-004) for proper installation
guidelines of the 6V ISCOM 3-0474-016 or 3-0474-025.
6V ISCOM 3-0474-016 or 3-0474-025 Non Intrinsically-Safe Connections

The non intrinsically-safe connections of the 6V ISCOM 3-0474-016 or 3-0474-025 are made to a
power source (+8 Vdc to +16 Vdc) and an RS-232 communication device. When installed in the
nonhazardous area, the power source and the communication device are not part of the Listed
System and shall not use or generate more than 125 Volts. The 6V ISCOM 3-0474-016 or 30474-025 when mounted inside the AutoLINK may be installed in a Division 2 or nonhazardous
area. Refer to the 6V ISCOM Installation and Wiring Manual (PN# 1-0474-004) for proper
connection of these devices to the 6V ISCOM 3-0474-016 or 3-0474-025.
6V ISCOM 3-0474-016 or 3-0474-025 to AutoPILOT Intrinsically-Safe Connections

The connection between the 6V ISCOM 3-0474-016 or 3-0474-025 and AutoPILOT is an
intrinsically-safe connection. The cable length between the 6V ISCOM 3-0474-016 or 3-0474-025
and the AutoPILOT shall not exceed 200 feet. Because the AutoPILOT with Div I Comm Expansion
Board option provides up to three RS-232 ports, three 6V ISCOMs 3-0474-016 or 3-0474-025 can
be connected to the AutoPILOT in non-hazardous area installations, while the AutoLINK provides
only one 6V ISCOM 3-0474-016 or 3-0474-025. Only the primary ISCOM connected to the
AutoPILOT Main Board can supply power to the flow computer. The IS Power Outputs of
a secondary or tertiary 6V ISCOM 3-0474-016 or 3-0474-025 must not be connected. Refer to
Figures 2-1-3 and 2-1-4 for typical System Connection wiring between the 6V ISCOM 3-0474-016
or 3-0474-025 and AutoPILOT.

FLOW COMPUTER INSTALLATION

GROUNDING GUIDELINES
ADDENDUM - A
GROUNDING PROCEDURES FOR FLOW COMPUTER INSTALLATIONS

A proper ground connection between the flow computer and an earth-ground connection protects the
meter run and the flow computer from natural and man-made electrical transients that may be present
on the system. Several factors determine the grounding configuration of the meter-run installation,
especially the flow-computer mounting and cathodic protection of the pipeline. The flow computer
may be mounted to a 2-inch vertical stand-pipe, using two 2-inch pipe clamps or U-bolts and saddle
brackets supplied with the system. The stand-pipe can be mounted directly on the pipeline using a
saddle, or be mounted in the ground. The selected method of mounting the flow computer and the
cathodic protection of the pipeline determines the grounding method to be used.
In all installations, the flow computer system must be grounded to a suitable earth-ground. The flow
computer provides a chassis ground lug located on the lower left side of the flow computer
enclosure. The lug is marked with the ground symbol. The chassis-ground wire must be a minimum
of an 12-AWG stranded wire and as short as possible. The DC resistance from the lug to earth
ground should measure less than one ohm. Install the earth ground as outlined in Articles 250
(Grounding) and 501 (Class I Locations) of the National Electrical Code for United States
installations. For Canadian installations, install the earth ground as outlined in Sections 10 and 18
of the Canadian Electrical Code.
This guideline deals with the following three installation configurations:
C Meter runs without cathodic protection
C Meter runs with cathodic protection using isolating flanges
C Meter runs with cathodic protection using isolating fittings
A-1
Meter Runs without Cathodic Protection

Flow computer installation on meter runs without cathodic protection can be mounted directly on
the pipeline or on a stand-alone vertical stand-pipe. Refer to Exhibit 1. The ground conductor
connects between the flow computer and the earth ground. The Flow Automation Temperature
Transducer may be grounded through the pipeline. If any pressure/pulse transducers or
AutoMITTERS are remotely mounted, connect the chassis ground of these transducers to the
pipeline or earth ground.
Exhibit 1: Meter-Run Installation without Cathodic Protection
A-2
Meter Runs with Cathodic Protection Using Isolating Flanges

Isolating flanges can be used to electrically isolate the meter run (including the flow-computer
system, the orifice/turbine meters, and AutoMITTERs) from the pipeline with cathodic protection.
The flow computer can be mounted directly on the isolated section of pipeline or on a stand-alone
vertical stand-pipe. Refer to Exhibit 2. The ground conductor connects between the flow computer
and the earth ground. Mount a ground strap to the isolated meter-run section and connect it to the
earth ground to protect the Temperature Transducer and any remotely mounted pressure/pulse
transducers. Connect any AutoMITTER grounds directly to earth ground.
Exhibit 2: Meter Run Installation with Isolating Flanges
A-3
Meter Runs with Cathodic Protection Using Isolating Fittings

Isolating fittings can be used to electrically isolate the meter run from the pipeline with cathodic
protection. Refer to Exhibit 3. Install an isolated fitting or gasket between the following
connections:
C all metallic tubing runs between the orifice meter and pressure transducers/manifolds (including
remotely mounted units or AutoMITTERs)
C all metallic connections or tubing runs between the flow computer and turbine meter/pulse
transducers
C any Temperature Transducer and its pipe-mount, including those connected to AutoMITTERs
Mount the flow computer on a stand-alone vertical stand-pipe. The ground conductor connects
between the flow computer and the earth ground. Connect the cases of the Temperature Transducers,
any remotely mounted pressure transducer cases, or AutoMITTER chassis grounds, to the earth
ground.

RTD PROBE CUTTING

AND WIRING PROCEDURES
ADDENDUM - B
1.0 CUTTING THE TEMPERATURE PROBE TO LENGTH

Flow Automation recommends the temperature probe length be measured from the inside bottom
surface of the RTD Housing to the desired depth in the thermowell. This measurement takes into
consideration the combined lengths of the thermowell and mounting hardware when the temperature
probe is installed on the pipeline. When installed in the thermowell, the tip of the probe must not
contact the bottom of the thermowell, to electrically isolate the probe from transient currents. Cut
the temperature probe as follows:
1. Measure or calculate the desired length of the temperature probe.
2. Remove the heat shrink from the top of the temperature probe.
3. Carefully, remove the small plastic sleeve from the top of the temperature probe. Caution: Do
not discard the small plastic sleeve. It protects the wires from the edge of the probe.
4. Measure and mark the body of the temperature probe to the desired length, measuring from the
tip of the temperature probe.
5. When using the standard Stark temperature probe, the composite-probe body is pre-scored.
Hand break the probe body at the desired score, then pull the portion to be removed from the
transmitter wires.
When using the optional stainless-steel temperature probe, score the metal body at the measured
mark using the tubing cutters, hand break the probe body at the score, then pull the cutoff portion
from the transmitter wires. Caution: When cutting the probe body and pulling the cutoff
portion from the transmitter wiring, be careful not to cut or skin the transmitter wires with
the tubing cutters or a sharp edge of the probe body.
6. Re-install the small plastic sleeve over the transmitter wiring and replace at the top of the
temperature probe.
B-1
2.0 INSTALLING THE TEMPERATURE PROBE

1.
Remove the cover of the RTD housing.
2.
Carefully slide the temperature probe in the top of the housing through the bottom bushing, until
the top of the probe aligns approximately with the bottom inside surface of the housing.
3.
Using the 5/64-inch allen wrench, tighten the 8-32 set screw, securing the temperature probe
in place. Caution: When installing the Stark temperature probe, do not over-torque the
set screw to avoid breaking the composite-probe body.
4.
Using the wire cutters, cut the transmitter wires approximately five inches long, measured from
the top of the temperature probe. Strip the end of the wires approximately 3/16 of an inch.
Inspect the wire for nicks or frayed ends.
5.
Insert the stripped end of the wires completely in the clamps of the four-position terminal block,
then tighten the clamps using a small screwdriver. Match the RTD probe wires to the RTD
cable wiring as follows:
RTD Cable Wiring
Red
White
Black
Green
RTD Probe Wiring

White
White
Yellow, Jumper
Jumper
Inspect each connection, ensuring no frayed strands protrude and no insulation is in the clamps.
6.
Install the cover of the RTD housing. If present, make sure that the gasket is properly seated.
7.
It is recommended that the thermowell be installed in a vertical position on the pipeline, and be
filled with electrically nonconductive oil to cover the probe tip for maximum thermal transfer.

FLOW COMPUTER FIELD INSTALLATION

CONFIGURATION JUMPER SETTINGS
ADDENDUM - C
AutoPILOT JUMPER CONFIGURATION GUIDE

The hardware of the flow computer is configured by placing configuration jumpers in connector J1
located in the lower, left-hand corner of the AutoPILOT Main Board. Remove the cover plate from
the enclosure door to locate the Main Board. The five positions of the configuration connector J1
are defined as follows:
#1 Backup Battery Enable: When a jumper is installed in this position, the +3.6 Vdc Lithium
Backup Battery is connected to the AutoPILOT circuitry, maintaining historical/configuration
data in the system memory and powering the systems real-time clock when input power is
removed. Note: Remove this jumper when a unit is being stored, to prevent the battery
from being drained.
Caution
If this jumper is not installed in an operating unit and input
power is removed, all historical/configuration data is destroyed.
#2 Watchdog Enable: When a jumper is installed in this position, the AutoPILOTs Watchdog
Circuitry is Enabled. Should be installed in all units.
#3 Constant Power/Sleep-Cycle: When a jumper is installed in this position, the circuitry is
constantly powered and the LCD display is constantly enabled. Constant power mode is
required when power to the AutoPILOT is provided through an ISCOM 3-0474-004 or 6V
ISCOM 3-0474-016 or 3-0474-025. To preserve power, the Constant Power mode is not
recommended for normal operation of the AutoPILOT with small power sources, including the
6-Vdc, 12 AH rechargeable battery assembly. When the jumper is removed, the AutoPILOT
operates in the sleep-cycle mode. During the sleep-cycle mode, power is removed from most
of the AutoPILOT circuitry (except the system RAM and real-time clock, maintaining historical
and configuration data) for a software configurable duration of one to five seconds. At the end
of the sleep cycle, power is returned and the AutoPILOT collects new raw input data, performs
the flow calculations and stores the new data in system memory, then returns to the sleep cycle.
#4 No connection, used to store spare jumper.

#5 No connection, used to store spare jumper.
