Introduction
SECTION 1: INTRODUCTION
1.1 System Description
The instructions in this manual are for the AMETEK Drexelbrook RCT Series Universal III Mark II for level measurement in liquids, slurries, interfaces, and granulars.

Each AMETEK Drexelbrook RCT Series system consists of a Universal III Mark II series two-wire, 4-20 mA electronic unit and a 700 series sensing element. A 380 series connecting cable is also supplied for connection of the sensing element to the electronic unit. The RCT Series system is an admittance-to-current transducer. A change in level produces a change in admittance which results in a change of current. It is termed a two-wire transmitter because the same two wires that are used to power the unit also indicate the change in level (4-20 mA).

Technology
In a simple capacitance sensing element, when the level rises and material covers the sensing element, the capacitance within the circuit between the sensing element and the medium (conductive applications) or the sensing element and the vessel wall (insulating applications) increases. This is due to the dielectric constant (k) of the material which causes a bridge misbalance. The signal is demodulated (rectified), amplified, and the output is increased. There are drawbacks, however, especially when there is coating of the sensing element.

An RF Admittance level transmitter is the next generation. Although similar to the capacitance concept, Universal III Mark II employs a radio frequency signal and adds the Cote-Shield circuitry within the Electronics Unit. Built-in oscillator buffer and chopper drive circuits permit separate measurement of resistance and capacitance. Since the resistance and the capacitance of any coating are of equal magnitude (by physical laws), the error generated by a coating can be measured and subtracted from the total output. This patented Cote-Shield circuitry is designed into the Universal III Mark II series and enables the instrument to ignore the effect of buildup or material coating on the sensing element. The sensing element is mounted in the vessel and provides a change in RF admittance indicating presence of material. The Cote-Shield circuitry prevents the transmission of RF current through the coating on the sensing element. The only path to ground available for the RF current is through the material being measured.
Oscillator circuitry through phase shift cancels small amounts of RF current flow (both Resistive and Capacitive) caused by coating

(More Coating is Easier to Ignore)

Little to No Resistance
The result is an accurate measurement regardless of the amount of coating on the sensing element. By far the most versatile technology available it works with all types of materials in a vast array of conditions, from cryogenics to high temperature, from vacuum to 10,000psi pressure.

If the vessel is non metallic see grounding sketch below. sensors with factory supplied concentric shield or ground rod do not need additional grounding. Measure ground continuity from housing ground screw to metal wall of vessel. A good ground will measure less than 5 ohms.
RUN 14 AWG. WIRE FROM FABRICATED GROUND TO GREEN SENSOR GROUND SCREW
A
GROUND ROD A ground rod can be fabricated out of any metal compatible with the process. Use material that is at least 3/8inch dia. such as pipe, All-Thread, or tubing. The ground rod must be parallel and relatively close to the sensor.
*This is a sensing element ground reference and possibly different from an electrical power ground.

Installation
2.4
Integral units are pre-wired at the factory. Figure 2-7 shows the wiring of the integral unit. For remote units, the signal connections are made to the four-terminal block on the front of the chassis. Due to the low power consumption of the instrument, the wiring need only be light gauge (e.g. 20 AWG). Twisted shielded pair cables are recommended for lengths over 200 feet. The cable from the sensing element is connected to the five-terminal strip on the back side of the instrument chassis. The cable connections are probe (PRB) or center wire (CW), ground (GND), and shield (SHD). See Figure 2-8 for wiring connections of the remote unit. Only coaxial cables supplied by Drexelbrook should be used to connect the transmitter to the sensing element. Use of other cables can result in unstable performance.

The meter is not inserted into the 4-20 mA loop. It receives power and data directly from the Drexelbrook smart transmitter via attached mini ribbon cable. See Figure 2-14. If the Ribbon Cable is attached while the transmitter is Powered Up, the transmitter may have to be restarted before the DIM will display correctly. The meter can be configured using the Drexelbrook PC software, the Model 275 Calibrator, or from the DIM itself.

Configuration
Refer to Figure 3-3 PC Software Menu Screen. Configuration involves downloading information to the HART protocol transmitter that is specific to the application and vessel that is being measured. Calibration requires that application information and two points of level and/or capacitance be supplied to the transmitter from the calibration software. A. Begin configuration by using Tag ID (8 characters) to identify the unit or vessel. Use the Scratchpad (32 characters) to record the date of calibration or other similar notes. Press Tab or Enter on your keyboard. B. Select Level or Vessel in the Analog Loop Assign selection box. Press Tab or Enter on your keyboard. Level configuration sets the output to follow the level of the material being measured. Vessel configuration sets the output to follow the strapped volume or weight in the vessel. For example, gallons in a horizontal vessel. C. Edit Damping Time from 0-90 seconds, if desired. D. Click on Write to Transmitter. E. Move to Level Configuration section of menu.

Configuration is now complete. 25
3.8
Calibration
There are two methods for calibrating the transmitter using the PC software: Point Calibration (menu button selection): Uses the two known level points in the vessel for calibration. The further apart the two points are for the calibration the better the accuracy of the overall measurement. Always initiate the point calibration process by selecting the Point Calibration button on the PC menu screen and following the prompts in the pop-up window. Level Calibration (lower right of window): See Figure 3-3 Uses capacitance values obtained from the AMETEK Drexelbrook Service department (or a previous calibration or identical application) for the zero and span calibration data. Call 1-800527-6297. Please provide your DE purchase order number, transmitter serial number, vessel and application data to the Service Engineer. Level calibration is done using the Level Calibration data fields on the PC menu screen.
It is permissible or sometimes even recommended that both methods be used in order to establish a calibration standard. For example, if the vessel was already filled before the calibration was attempted and it is difficult or impossible to lower the level to establish the second point, it would be best to use a calculated zero capacitance for the low point and actual level for the high point. While this wouldnt be as accurate as two known level points, it will be reasonably accurate until an actual low point calibration can be established. The Service department will help in calculating high or low capacitance values. Because calibration involves determining two known points of capacitance, a span (or range) jumper provides an adjustment for the change in capacitance required to produce full scale current. The Range Span Jumper is located on the back of the transmitter chassis. See Fig. 3-9. Each Range Span position on the Universal III advances the range in inches or feet to approximately five times the previous setting. See Table 3-1

PC Status Messages
Status Message: SPAN TOO SMALL Difference between URV and LRV is less than 10% of range. Example: For 0 to 10 foot calibration points: LRV=3.0 feet and URV=3.8 feet. When calibration points are too close together, overall accuracy of calibration is adversely affected. Action: The calibration points should be farther apart. Calibration Status Message: RAISE SPAN JUMPER Based on LRV, URV, and capacitance calibration data, the estimated 100% capacitance exceeds selected range by greater than 10%. Example: A unit in Range 4 (2000 pF) projects maximum capacitance equal to 2500 pF. Error message is displayed. Action: Raise Range jumper (Section 3.8, Table 3-1) to position 5 for this example. Calibration Status Message: LOWER SPAN JUMPER Based on LRV, URV, and capacitance calibration data, the estimated 100% capacitance value is less than 10% of the maximum pF for the range below the selected range. Example: A unit in Range Span 4 (2000 pF) projects maximum capacitance equal to 400 pF. Action: Lower Range jumper (Section 3.8, Table 3-1) to position 3 (Max. pF of 450 pF) for this example. Real-time Status Message: UNDERRANGE Present capacitance/milliampere value is less than -5% of range. Examples: Center wire connection is broken. Sensing element is not operating. An elevated Zero is used and actual level is below 4mA point. Vessel has lost its RF ground reference. Action: Check connections and ground. Recalibrate if this level is in operational range of process. Real-time Status Message: OVERRANGE Present capacitance/ milliamp value over 105% of system span. Examples: Actual level exceeds span point on sensing element. Cut in sensing element insulation or shorted coax. Action: Check sensing element and coax. Re-calibrate if this level is in operational range of process. 30

* Every capacitor manufactured will generate a slightly different capacitance value within its specified tolerance. By marking the capacitor and using only this capacitor for testing and validating the AMETEK Drexelbrook Universal III Transmitter, the system should produce repeatable results within transmitter specifications.

Validation Results
See Fig. 3-20. If the information that is shown (or printed) matches the initial readings within system specifications, then it can be verified that the calibration and configuration is as originally set. It can also be verified that the transmitters response falls within acceptable tolerances. The system has passed validation tests. Using the Save/Print feature built into the transmitter allows the ability to comply with the record-keeping needed for many processes by regulatory agencies.

Calibration
There are two methods of calibrating the Universal III transmitter: Point Calibration or Capacitance Calibration. Point calibration uses the actual level in your vessel for calibration. The further apart the two points are for the calibration, then the better the accuracy of the overall measurement. Capacitance calibration uses values obtained from the Drexelbrook Service department (or a previous calibration or identical application) for the zero and span calibration data. Call 1-800-527-6297 for assistance. Please provide the purchase order number, transmitter serial number and application information to the Service Engineer. It is permissible or sometimes even recommended that both methods be used in order to establish a calibration standard. For example, if the vessel was already filled before the calibration was attempted and it is difficult or impossible to lower the level to establish the second point, 42

Configuration & Calibration Of Universal III With Model 275 Communicator Without A Device Description
The Model 275 Communicator can be used to enter and download configuration/ calibration values to the Universal III transmitter.
5.1
Range/Span Control
Definitions: LRV - Lower Range Value of control loop. LSL - Lower Sensor Limit corresponding to minimum level point. PV - Process Variable; level value from transmitter. SV - Secondary Variable; could be volume or weight-based on PV. URV - Upper Range Value of control loop. USL - Upper Sensor Limit corresponding to maximum level point. The first step in configuration is to identify the span range position of the instrument. There is a jumper on the back of the electronics chassis: Range Span See Fig. 3-9. The Range Span provides continuous adjustment of the change in capacitance required to produce full scale current. Each Range Span position advances the range in inches or feet to approximately five times the previous setting. Table A-1 gives the range span position for a number of common sensing elements and range of measurement. Probe Length Vs.

Error Message: Upper Range Value Too Low The Full scale projected from the entered URV and LRV is less than 5% of the present capacitance range jumper setting. Example: For 0 to 50 ft. calibration: span select jumper = 1000 pF, LRV = 0 ft. @ 10 pF, URV = 40 ft. @ 80 pF generates this error. Action: The Span Select Jumper Must Be Lowered. This allows the URV-LRV span to be greater than 5% of the capacitance range jumper setting.

Have you verified actual level? (At times even sight gauges can be misleading.) Be sure that level is really changing. Possible plugged or unvented stilling well. Probable high point cal/low point cal reversal or inverted interface application.
Comments When process material fills what was originally airspace between the sensor and a nozzle or the vessel, it no longer behaves like a coating. It measures like actual level. Contact Drexelbrook. TFE and stainless steel in the sensor's pressure seal have widely different coefficients of expansion that sometimes permit pressure leaks to occur. Re-torqueing the packing assembly can usually fix the problem. Contact the Service department for the proper torque values and procedure.

Start
Calibrator does not communicate with transmitter
2. If loop current is 0 mA, check polarity of wiring at transmitter. If OK check for open loop.
No
3. If loop current is between 0 and 3 mA transmitter is likely bad. Test with procedure in Section 5.6. 4. Check voltage at transmitter, it should be at least 12 volts when 20 mA is flowing in loop.
Yes
5. Disconnect the three probe cable connections at transmitter and retry. If it now communicates, check cable and probe as described in Sections 5.7 & 5.8.
No
1. Check Power Supply source resistance. The 250 ohms may be built in as with the Drexelbrook 401500 series or most DCS inputs. 2. If not, add enough resistance for loop to be at least 250 ohms.
Yes
1. Check calibrator connections to loop per loop drawing Figure 4-1. 2. Check for "noise" and ripple on loop with oscilloscope. Maximum noise level per HART Foundation is 1.2 mV rms (500 - 10 kHz). Maximum ripple (47 - 125 hZ) specification is .2V p-p. Line noise can sometimes be traced to things like motor speed controller wiring in close proximity with transmitter. Noise can sometimes be overcome by increasing loop resistance thereby increasing calibrator signal. Noise effects can also be reduced by connecting calibrator directly at transmitter. Generally noise is only a problem when calibrator is communicating with transmitter and does not affect normal operation of transmitter. 3. Check voltage at transmitter it should be at least 12 V when 20 mA is flowing in loop. 4. If wiring is correct, go to Section 6.6 to test transmitter.
6.4
Rosemount Model 275 Calibrator with device description cannot identify or find device
This condition may be the result of trying to calibrate a transmitter with software less than version 3.0 (transmitters shipped prior to approximately January 1997). There are two options you can use to identify the device and delete the error message. Option 1 - Configure the transmitter as a "generic" device per the instructions in this manual. Option 2 - Contact the Drexelbrook Service department (1-800-527-6297) about upgrading your transmitter to the latest software.

Make it stop polling or power transmitter from a separate source - then re-check operation.
Check: 1. Is correct COM Port selected at startup? 2. Is there any software running that would re-direct COM Port such as Windows, mouse drivers, terminal emulation software, or TSR's. (This can be tested by booting from Drexelbrook Calibration software in the A: drive) 3. Possible bad RS-232 cable or defective modem. 4. Check modem connections to loop per loop drawing on Figure 3-1. 5. Go to Section 5.6 to test transmitter.

Troubleshooting
6.6
Troubleshooting Transmitter
To troubleshoot the transmitter, use one of the following tests, depending on the device used with your calibration. Some of the following tests require the use of high quality fixed capacitors in the picofarad ranges or a Drexelbrook calibrator box (C-box 401-6-81). Contact the Drexelbrook Service department if you need a C-box. Fixed temperature stable capacitors (NPO types) can often be found at many electronic supply houses. TRANSMITTER TEST - Using a PC or 275 Handheld with device Description 1. Determine the span range currently selected on the electronic unit. See Figure 3-9 2. Using the MAX pF values listed in Figure 6-3, select a capacitance value near the midpoint of the MAX pF range. For example, position #4 has a MAX pF range of 2000 pF. Select a 1000 pF capacitance for this test. 3. Remove all three connections of the coaxial cable at the transmitter's probe terminals. 4. Place capacitor on transmitter from PROBE to GND (ground) terminals See Figure 6-1.

Static Electricity
Static electricity can cause the 4-20 mA output to appear to jump around in an erratic fashion with a time period of few seconds. Applications that are prone to static electricity include insulating liquids that may be agitated or pumped and granulars that may be air-conveyed at high rates of speed. Conductive liquids and conductive granulars tend not to generate static electricity. In addition to causing erratic readings, static electricity can cause instrument failure. If you ever get a static shock from a sensing element, you need spark protection. (See section 2.5) Drexelbrook normally supplies static electricity discharge devices (spark protectors) with its sensing elements that are going to be used in these types of applications. If you need a spark protector, contact the Drexelbrook Service department.
Troubleshooting
Trained field servicemen are available on a time-plusexpense basis to assist in start-ups, diagnosing difficult application problems, or in-plant training of personnel. Contact the service department for further details. Periodically, AMETEK Drexelbrook instrument training seminars for customers are held at the factory. These sessions are guided by Drexelbrook engineers and specialists, and provide detailed information on all aspects of level measurement, including theory and practice of instrument operation. For more information about these valuable workshops, write to AMETEK Drexelbrook, attention: Communications/ Training Group, or call direct + 215-674-1234.
