4.8 Mechanical Considerations
Figure 4-6 is a dimensional drawing for the 3100. Figure 4-7 shows
how the A-630 angle bracket is mounted to a pipe.
4.8.1 Mounting
Avoid installing transmitters in environments with excessive
vibration. If it cannot be avoided it is highly recommended to
provide adequate support when mounting.
4.8.2 Transmitter Access
When selecting the installation location, accessibility must be
taken into consideration.
•
Housing rotation: The housing can be rotated 90°.
•
Wiring terminals: The cover and wiring terminals are easily
accessible.
•
LCD/Circuits: Install the transmitter in a location where it
can be seen. For transmitters without an LCD, the cover
and jumpers are easily accessible.
4.9 Environmental Considerations
4.9.1 Ambient Temperature
The transmitter ambient temperature range is 4 to 180°F (-20 to
60°C). If the ambient temperature is going to exceed the
temperature range, precautions must be taken to keep the
temperature within the temperature limits.
4.9.2 Toxic and Moist Environments
The 3100 housing will protect the transmitter against moisture
or toxic material. The electronic circuit is separated from the
terminals. The housing covers have o-rings that seal the housing,
but moisture can penetrate the housing thru the conduit. The
transmitter should be mounted in a position to prevent moisture
from entering the housing thru the conduit.
4.9.3 Installation in Hazardous Location
The transmitter is designed with an explosion-proof housing.
Installation environment must not exceed the explosion-proof
rating.
Chapter 5 On-Line Operation
5.1 Overview
This chapter describes how to configure the 3100 Smart Pressure
Transmitter. The transmitter can be configured in On-Line or Off-Line
mode. In On-Line Mode a compatible HHT or PC configuration
device must be used.
5.2 Safety Message
For added operator safety please pay specific attention to
procedures outlined in this manual listed under the warning symbol
(▲)
5.2.1 Warning
Warning
Explosion can result in death or serious injury:
• Do not remove the transmitter covers in explosion-
proof environments when the circuit is powered.
• Both transmitter covers must be fully engaged to
meet explosion-proof requirements.
Warning
Electrical shock can result in serious injury:
• When installing transmitters in close proximity of high
voltage sources (near power lines) the transmitter
leads can be subject to high voltages.
• Avoid contact with the leads and terminals.
5.2.2 Current to Passive Mode Configuration
For multi-drop mode the current output must be configured as
passive mode. Please disregard any other messages shown on
HHT.
5.3 Configuration Data Review
Before operating the transmitter make sure the configuration data on
the nameplate matches the application.
5.4 Configuration Verification
Before the transmitter is ready for service, the configuration must be
checked to confirm the settings are configured for the application.
