Introduction
INTRODUCTION
LD301 is a smart pressure transmitter for differential, absolute, gauge, level and flow
measurements. It is based on a field-proven capacitive sensor that provides reliable operation and
high performance. The digital technology used in LD301 enables the choice of several types of
transfer functions, an easy interface between the field and the control room and several interesting
features that considerably reduce installation, operation and maintenance costs.
Besides all the functions offered by other smart transmitters, LD301offers the following functions:
 (P) 3 - used for trapezoidal weirs in open channel flow measurement.
 (P) 5 - used for V-notch weirs in open channel flow measurement.

 TABLE - the pressure signal is linearly customized according to a 16-point table, enabling, e.g.,
level-to-volume conversion of a horizontal cylindrical tank.
 CONTROLLER - the Process Variable is compared to a set point. The deviation acts on the
output signal according to an optional PID algorithm.
 PID OUTPUT CHARACTERIZATION - the PID output signal (MV) follows a curve that is
determined by 16 points, which can be freely configured
 BIDIRECTIONAL FLOW FUNCTION - used to measure the flow in the piping in both directions.
 LOCAL ADJUSTMENT - not Only for Lower and Upper value, but input/output function,
operation mode, indication, set point, PID parameters (optional) as well.
 PASSWORD - three levels for different functions.
 OPERATION COUNTER - shows the number of changes in each function.
 TOTALIZATION - flow totalization in volume or mass.
 USER-UNIT - indication in engineering unit of the property actually measured, e.g., level,
flow or volume.
 WRITE-PROTECT - via hardware

In the cell center is the sensor diaphragm (1). This diaphragm flexes in response to the different
pressures applied on the LOW and HIGH sides of the cell (PL and PH). These pressures are directly
applied on the isolator diaphragms (2), whose function is to isolate the sensor process and supply
high resistance against corrosion caused by process fluids. The pressure is transmitted directly to
the sensor diaphragm through the filling fluid (3) and causes its deflection. The sensor diaphragm is
a mobile electrode whose two metal surfaces (4) are stable electrodes. A deflection on the sensor
diaphragm is read by the capacitance variation between both stable and mobile electrodes.
The resonance oscillator reads the capacitance variations between the mobile and the stable boards
and generates a pressure output equivalent to the detected capacitance variation. This pressure
value is informed in compliance with the transmitter communication protocol. As the conversion
process does not involve an A/D converter, any errors or deviations are eliminated during the
process. Temperature compensation is done by a sensor, which combined with a precision sensor,
results in high accuracy and range.
The process variable, as well as the diagnostic monitoring and information, are supplied by the
digital communication protocol. The LD301 is available in the HART communication protocol.
Read carefully these instructions for better use of the LD301.

Section 1
INSTALLATION
General
NOTE
The installation carried out in hazardous areas should follow the recommendations of the IEC 60079-14
standard.
The overall accuracy of a flow, level, or pressure measurement depends on several variables. Although
the transmitter has an outstanding performance, proper installation is essential to maximize its
efficiency.
Among all factors, which may affect transmitter accuracy, environmental conditions are the most difficult
to control. There are, however, ways of reducing the effects of temperature, humidity and vibration.
The LD301 has a built-in temperature sensor to compensate for temperature variations. At the factory,
each transmitter is submitted to a temperature cycle, and the characteristics under different
temperatures are recorded in the transmitter memory. At the field, this feature minimizes the
temperature variation effect.
Mounting
Putting the transmitter in areas protected from extreme environmental changes can minimize
temperature fluctuation effects.
In warm environments, the transmitter should be installed to avoid, as much as possible, direct exposure
to the sun. Installation close to lines and vessels subjected to high temperatures should also be avoided.
Use longer sections of impulse piping between tap and transmitter whenever the process fluid is at high
temperatures. Use of sunshades or heat shields to protect the transmitter from external heat sources
should be considered, if necessary.
Proper winterization (freeze protection) should be employed to prevent freezing within the measuring
chamber, since this will result in an inoperative transmitter and could even damage the cell.
Although the transmitter is virtually insensitive to vibration, installation close to pumps, turbines or other
vibrating equipment should be avoided.
The transmitter has been designed to be both rugged and lightweight at the same time. This makes its
mounting easier. The mounting positions are shown in Figure 1.1.
Existing standards for the manifolds have also been considered, and standard designs fits perfectly to
the transmitter flanges.
Should the process fluid contain solids in suspension, install valves or rod-out fittings regularly to clean
out the pipes. The pipes should be internally cleaned by using steam or compressed air, or by draining
the line with the process fluid, before such lines are connected to the transmitter (blow-down).
NOTE
When installing or storing the level transmitter, the diaphragm must be protected to avoid scratching-
denting or perforation of its surface. The process flange of the level transmitters can be rotated 45º.
To do this just loosen the two screws (Figure 1.1) and rotate the flange. Do not take the screws out.
There is a label (Figure 1.1) on the transmitter with these instructions.

Observe operating safety rules during wiring, draining or blow-down.
WARNING
Normal safety precautions must be taken to avoid the possibility of an accident occurring when
operating in conditions of high pressure and/or temperature.
Electrical shock can result in death or serious injury.
Avoid contact with the leads and terminals.
Process leaks could result in death or serious injury.
Do not attempt to loosen or remove flange bolts while the transmitter is in service.
Replacement equipment or spare parts not approved by Smar could reduce the pressure
retaining capabilities of the transmitter and may render the instrument dangerous.
Use only bolts supplied or sold by Smar as spare parts.
Some examples of installation, illustrating the transmitter position in relation to the taps, are shown in
Figure 1.3. The pressure taps location and the relative positions of the transmitter are indicated in Table
1.1.

Table 1.1 - Location of Pressure Taps
NOTE
For liquids, condensates, wet vapors and gases the impulse lines must be bent on the ratio 1:10 to
prevent bubbles from accumulating;
The transmitter and its impulse lines must be tightly fixed;
If necessary, install the condensate and mud pots;
Use manifold valves to facilitate maintenance and adjustments.
1.8

Installation
Figure 1.3 – Position of the Transmitter and Taps
NOTE
The transmitters are calibrated in the vertical position and a different mounting position displaces the
zero point. Consequently, the indicator will indicate a different value from the applied pressure. In
these conditions, it is recommended to do the zero pressure trim. The zero trim compensates the
final assembly position and its performance, when the transmitter is in its final position. When the
zero trim is executed, make sure the equalization valve is open and the wet leg levels are correct.
For the absolute pressure transmitter, the assembly effects correction should be done using the
Lower trim, due to the fact that the absolute zero is the reference for these transmitters, so there is
no need for a zero value for the Lower trim.

Electronic Housing
Humidity is fatal to electronic circuits. In areas subjected to high relative humidity, the O-rings for the
electronic housing covers must be correctly placed and the covers must be completely closed by tighten
them by hand until you feel the O-rings being compressed. Do not use tools to close the covers.
Removal of the electronics cover in the field should be reduced to the minimum necessary, since each
time it is removed; the circuits are exposed to the humidity.
The electronic circuit is protected by a humidity proof coating, but frequent exposures to humidity may
affect the protection provided. It is also important to keep the covers tightened in place. Every time they
are removed, the threads are exposed to corrosion, since painting cannot protect these parts. Sealing
methods should be employed on conduit entering the transmitter. The unused outlet connection should
be properly plugged.
WARNING
The unused cable entries should be plugged and sealed accordingly to avoid humidity entering, which
can cause the loss of the product’s warranty.
1.9

The electronic housing can be rotated to adjust the digital display on a better position. To rotate it, loose
the Housing Rotation Set Screw, see Figure 1.4 (a). To prevent humidity entering, the electric housing
and the sensor joint must have a minimum of 6 fully engaged threads. The provided joint allows 1 extra
turn to adjust the position of the display window by rotating the housing clockwise. If the thread reaches
the end before the desired position, then rotate the housing counterclockwise, but not more than one
thread turn. Transmitters have a stopper that restricts housing rotation to one turn. See Section 5,
Figure 5.2.

Test and Communication terminals allow, respectively, to measure the current in the 4 - 20 mA loop,
without opening the circuit, and also to communicate with the transmitter. The “Test Terminals” must be
used to measure the current. The “COMM” terminal must be used for HART communication. The
terminal block has screws where fork or ring-type terminals can be fastened. See Figure 1.5.

The LD301 is protected against reverse polarity.
For convenience there are three ground terminals: one inside the cover and two external, located close
to the conduit inlets.
Use of twisted pair (22 AWG or greater than) cables is recommended. For sites with high
electromagnetic levels (EMI above 10 V/m) shield conductors are recommended.
Avoid routing signal wiring near to power cables or switching equipment.

Figures 1.7 and 1.8 show LD301’s wiring diagrams to work as transmitter and controller, respectively.
Figure 1.9 shows the LD301’s wiring diagrams to work in the multi-drop network. Note that a maximum
of 15 transmitters can be connected on the same line and that they should be connected in parallel.
Take care to the power supply as well, when many transmitters are connected on the same line. The
current through the 250 Ohm resistor will be high causing a high voltage drop. Therefore make sure that
the power supply voltage is sufficient.
The Hand-Held Terminal can be connected to the communication terminals of the transmitter or at any
point of the signal line by using the alligator clips. It is also recommended to ground the shield of
shielded cables at only one end. The ungrounded end must be carefully isolated. On multi-drop
connections, the circuit loop integrity must be assured, with special care to prevent short-circuit between
the circuit loop and the housing.
NOTE
For HART transmitters to operate in multi-drop mode each transmitter must be configured with a
different identity Device ID. In addition, if the transmitter identification mode on the loop is done
through the Command 0 address, the HART address must also be different. If it is done through the
(Command 11) Tag the Tags must be similar.

NOTE
Make sure that the transmitter is operating within the operating area as shown on the load curve

Installation
Installation in Hazardous Areas

WARNING
Explosions could result in death or serious injury, besides financial damage. Installation of this
transmitter in explosive areas must be carried out in accordance with the local standards and the
protection type adopted .Before continuing the installation make sure the certificate parameters are I n
accordance with the classified area where the equipment will be installed.
The instrument modification or parts replacement supplied by other than authorized representative of
Smar is prohibited and will void the certification.
The transmitters are marked with options of the protection type. The certification is valid only when the
protection type is indicated by the user. Once a particular type of protection is selected, any other type
of protection can not be used.
The electronic housing and the sensor installed in hazardous areas must have a minimum of 6 fully
engaged threads. Lock the housing using the locking screw (Figure 1.4).
The cover must be tighten with at least 8 turns to avoid the penetration of humidity or corrosive gases.
The cover must be tighten until it touches the housing. Then, tighten more 1/3 turn (120) to guarantee
the sealing. Lock the covers using the locking screw (Figure 1.4).
Consult the Appendix A for further information about certification.
Explosion/Flame Proof
WARNING
In Explosion-Proof installations the cable entries must be connected or closed using metal cable gland
and metal blanking plug, both with at least IP66 and Ex-d certification.
As the transmitter is non-ignition capable under normal conditions, the statement “Seal not Required”
could be applied for Explosion Proof Version. (CSA Certification).
The standard plugs provided by Smar are certified according to the standards at FM, CSA and CEPEL.
If the plug needs to be replaced, a certified plug must be used.
The electrical connection with NPT thread must use waterproofing sealant. A non-hardening silicone
sealant is recommended.
Do not remove the transmitter covers when power is ON.
Intrinsically Safe
WARNING
In hazardous zones with intrinsically safe or non-incendive requirements, the circuit entity parameters
and applicable installation procedures must be observed.
To protect the application the transmitter must be connected to a barrier. Match the parameters
between barrier and the equipment (Consider the cable parameters). Associated apparatus ground
bus shall be insulated from panels and mounting enclosures. Shield is optional. If used, be sure to
insulate the end not grounded. Cable capacitance and inductance plus Ci and Li must be smaller than
Co and Lo of the associated Apparatus.
For free access to the Hart bus in the explosive environment, ensure the instruments in the loop are
installed in accordance with intrinsically safe or non-incendive field wiring practices. Use only Ex Hart
communicator approved according to the type of protection Ex-i (IS) or Ex-n (NI).
It is not recommended to remove the transmitter cover when the power is ON.

OPERATION
Functional Description - Sensor
The LD301 Series Intelligent Pressure Transmitters use capacitive sensors (capacitive cells) as
pressure sensing elements, as shown in Figure 2.1.

Where,
P 1 and P 2 are the pressures in chambers H and L.
CH = capacitance between the fixed plate on P 1 side and the sensing diaphragm.
CL = capacitance between the fixed plate on the P 2 side and the sensing diaphragm.
d = distance between CH and CL fixed plates.
∆d = sensing diaphragm's deflection due to the differential pressure ∆P = P 1 - P 2 .
Knowing that the capacitance of a capacitor with flat, parallel plates may be expressed as a function of
plate area (A) and distance (d) between the plates as:
∈A
C=
d
Where,
∈= dielectric constant of the medium between the capacitor's plates.
Should CH and CL be considered as capacitances of flat and parallel plates with identical areas, then:
∈ .A CL =
∈ .A
CH = and
(d / 2) − ∆d
(d / 2) + ∆d
However, should the differential pressure (∆P) apply to the capacitive cell not deflect the sensing
diaphragm beyond d/4, it is possible to assume ∆P as proportional to ∆d, that is:
∆P is proportional ∆d.
By developing the expression (CL - CH)/(CL + CH), it follows that:
CL − CH 2∆d
∆P = =
CL + CH d
As the distance (d) between the fixed plates CH and CL is constant, it is possible to conclude that the
expression (CL - CH)/(CL + CH) is proportional to ∆d and, therefore, to the differential pressure to be
measured.
2.1

Thus it is possible to conclude that the capacitive cell is a pressure sensor formed by two capacitors
whose capacitances vary according to the applied differential pressure.

Oscillator
This oscillator generates a frequency as a function of sensor capacitance.
Signal Isolator
The Control signals from the CPU are transferred through optical couplers, and the signal from the
oscillator is transferred through a transformer.
Central Processing Unit (CPU) and PROM
The CPU is the intelligent portion of the transmitter, being responsible for the management and
operation of all other blocks, linearization and communication.
The program is stored in an external PROM. For temporary storage of data the CPU has an internal
RAM. The data in the RAM is lost, if the power is switched off, although the CPU also has an internal
nonvolatile EEPROM where data that must be retained is stored. Examples of such data are:
calibration, configuration and identification data.
EEPROM
Another EEPROM is located within the sensor assembly. It contains data pertaining to the sensor's
characteristics at different pressures and temperatures. This characterization is done for each sensor at
the factory.
D/A Converter
It converts the digital data from the CPU to an analog signal with 14-bits resolution.
Output
It controls the current in the line feeding the transmitters.
It acts as a variable resistive load whose value depends on the voltage from the D/A converter.
Modem
This system provides the data exchanged between the serve-master digital communications. The
transmitter demodulates information from the current line, and after treating it adequately, modulates
over the line the answer to be sent. A "1" is represented by 1200 Hz and "0" by 2200 Hz. The frequency
signal is symmetrical and does not affect the DC-level of the 4-20 mA signal.
2.2

Operation
Power Supply
Power shall be supplied to the transmitter circuit using the signal line (2-wire system). The transmitter
quiescent consumption is 3.6 mA; during operation, consumption may be as high as 21 mA, depending
on the measurement and sensor status.
The LD301 in the transmitter mode shows failure indication at 3.6 mA if configured for low signal failure;
at 21 mA, if configured for high signal failure; 3.8 mA in the case of low saturation; 20.5 mA in the case
of high saturation and measurements proportional to the applied pressure in the range between 3.8 mA
and 20.5 mA. 4 mA corresponds to 0% of the working range and 20 mA to100 % of the working range.
Power Supply Isolation

The sensor power supply is isolated from the main circuit by this module.
Display Controller
It receives the data from the CPU and actives the LCD segments. It also activates the back plane and
the control signals for each segment.
Local Adjustment
Two switches on the main board are magnetically activated by inserting the magnetic tool.
Functional Description - Software

Refer to the block diagram Figure 2.3. The function of each block is described below.
Digital Filter
The digital filter is a low pass filter with an adjustable time constant. It is used to smooth noisy signals.
The Damping value is the time required for the output reaching 63.2% for a step input of 100%.
This value (in seconds) may be freely configured by the user.
Factory Characterization
The actual pressure from the capacitance and temperature readouts obtained from the sensor can
be calculated by using the factory characterization data stored in the sensor EEPROM.
User Linearization
The characterization TRIM points P1 - P5 can be used to complement the transmitter original
characterization.
Pressure Trim
The values obtained by Zero Pressure TRIM and Upper Pressure TRIM may correct here the
transmitter for long term drift or the shift in zero or upper pressure reading due to installation or over
pressure.
Ranging
It used to set the pressure values corresponding to the 4 and 20 mA output. In transmitter mode the
LOWER-VALUE is the point corresponding to 4 mA, and the UPPER-VALUE is the point corresponding
to 20 mA. In PID mode the LOWER-VALUE corresponds to MV = 0% and the UPPER-VALUE
corresponds to MV = 100%, where, MV is the Manipulated Variable.
Function
Depending on the application, the transmitter output or controller PV may have the following
characteristics according to the applied pressure: Linear (for pressure, differential pressure and level
measurement); Square-root (for flow measurement with differential pressure producers) and Square-
root of the Third and Fifth power (for flow measurements in open channels). The function is selected
with FUNCTION.
Points Table
This block relates the output (4-20 mA or Process Variable) to the input (applied pressure) according to
a look-up table from 2 to 16 points. The output is calculated by the interpolation of these points. The
points are given in the function "TABLE POINTS" in percent of the range (X i ) and in percent of the
output (Y i ). It may be used to linearize, e.g., a level measurement to volume or mass. In flow
measurement it can be used to correct varying Reynolds numbers.
Setpoint
Is the desired value in the process variable when the controller is activated. The operator in the
\CONTR\INDIC option adjusts it.
2.3

PID
First, the error is calculated: PV-SP (DIRECT ACTION) or SP-PV (REVERSE ACTION), then the MV
(manipulated value) is calculated, according to the algorithm of the PID. The PID output signal may
follow a user-determined curve, in up to 16 configurable points. If the table is enabled, there will be a
display indication with the F(X) character
Auto/Manual
The Auto/Manual mode is configured in CONTR/INDIC. With the PID in Manual, the MV can be
adjusted by the user in the LOW LIMIT to HIGH LIMIT range in the CONTR/LIM-SEG option. The
POWER-ON option is used here to determine in which mode the controller should be upon powering it
on.
Limits
This block makes sure that the MV does not go beyond its minimum and maximum limits as
established by the HIGH-LIMIT and LOW-LIMIT. It also makes sure that the Rate-of-Change does not
exceed the value set in OUT-CHG/S.
Output
It calculates the current proportional to the process variable or manipulated variable to be transmitted
on the 4-20 mA output depending on the configuration in OP-MODE. This block also contains the
constant current function configured in OUTPUT. The output is physically limited to 3.6 to 21 mA. The
current output complies with NAMUR NE-43.
Current Trim
The 4 mA TRIM and 20 mA TRIM adjustment is used to make the transmitter current comply with a
current standard, should a deviation arise.
User Unit
It converts 0 and 100% of the process variable to the desired engineering unit readout available for
display and communication. It is used, e.g., to get a volume or flow indication from a level or differential
pressure measurement, respectively. A unit for the variable can also be selected.
Totalization
Used for flow application to totalize the accumulated flow since the last reset, the last reset, getting the
volume or mass transferred. In the lack of power, the totalized value is saved and continues totalizing
after its re-establishment.
Display
The two indications configured in the DISPLAY alternates between the primary and secondary variable
as configured by the user.

Section 3
CONFIGURATION
The LD301 Intelligent Pressure Transmitter is a digital instrument with the most up-to-date features a
measurement device can possibly have. Its digital communication protocol (HART) enables the
instrument to be connected to a computer in order to be configured in a very simple and complete way.
Such computers connected to the transmitters are called HOST computers. They can either be primary
or Secondary Masters. Therefore, even the HART being a master-slave type of protocol, it is possible
to work with up to two masters in a bus. The Primary HOST plays the supervisory role and the
Secondary HOST plays the Configuration tool role.
The transmitters may be connected in a point-to-point or multidrop type network. In a point-to-point

connection, the equipment must be in its "0" address so that the output current may be modulated in 4 to
20 mA, as per the measurement. In a multidrop network, if the devices are recognized by their
addresses, the transmitters shall be configured with a network address between "1" and "15. In this
case, the transmitter output current is kept constant, with a consumption of 4 mA each. If the
acknowledgement mechanism is via Tag, the transmitter addresses may be "0" while their output current
is still being controlled, even in a multidrop configuration.
In the case of the LD301, which can be configured both as Transmitter and as a Controller; the HART
addressing is used as follows:
TRANSMITTER MODE - The "0" address causes the LD301 to control its output current and addresses
"1" through "15" place the LD301 in the multidrop mode with current control.
CONTROLLER MODE - The LD301 always controls the output current, in accordance with the value
calculated for the Controlled Variable, regardless of its network address.
NOTE
In the case of multidrop network configuration for classified areas, the entity parameters allowed for the
area shall be strictly observed. Therefore, the following shall be checked:
Ca   Cij + Cc La   Lij + Lc
Voc  min [Vmaxj] Isc  min [Imaxj]
Where:
Ca, La - Barrier Allowable Capacitance and Inductance;
Cij, Lij - Non protected internal Capacitance/Inductance of transmitter j (j = up to 15);
Cc, Lc - Cable capacitance and Inductance;
Voc - Barrier open circuit voltage;
Isc - Barrier short circuit current;
Vmaxj - Maximum allowable voltage to be applied to the instrument j;
Imaxj - Maximum allowable current to be applied to the instrument j
The LD301 Intelligent Pressure Transmitter includes a very encompassing set of HART Command
functions that make it possible to access the functionality of what has been implemented. Such
commands comply with the HART protocol specifications, and are grouped as Overall Commands,
Common Practice Controls Commands and Specific Commands. A detailed description of such
commands may be found in the manual entitled HART Command Specification - LD301 Intelligent
Pressure Transmitter.
Smar developed the CONF401 and HPC301 software (See figure 3.2), the first one works in Windows
platform (95, 98, 2000, XP and NT) and UNIX. The second one, HPC301, works in the most recent
technology in PDA. (See figure 3.1). They provide easy configuration and monitoring of field devices,
capability to analyze data and to modify the action of these devices. The operation characteristics and
use of each one of the configuration tool are stated on their respective manuals.

Primary Variable Trim - Pressure

Pressure, defined as a Primary Variable, is determined from the sensor readout by means of a
conversion method. Such a method uses parameters obtained during the fabrication process. They
depend on the electric and mechanical characteristics of the sensor, and on the temperature change to
which the sensor is submitted. These parameters are recorded in the sensor's EEPROM memory. When
the sensor is connected to the transmitter, such information is made available to the transmitter
microprocessor, which sets a relationship between the sensor signal and the measured pressure.
Sometimes, the pressure shown on the transmitter display is different from the applied pressure. This
may be due to several reasons, among which the following:
The transmitter mounting position;
 The user pressure standard differs from the factory standard;
 Sensor original characteristics shifted by overpressure, over temperature or by long-term drift.
NOTE
Some users prefer to use this feature for zero elevation or suppression when the measurement refers
to a certain point of the tank or tap (wet leg). Such practice, however, is not recommended when
frequent laboratory calibrations are required, because the equipment adjustment refers to a relative
measurement, and not to an absolute one, as per a specific pressure standard.
The Pressure Trim, as described on this document, is the method used in order to adjust the
measurement both in relation to the applied pressure and the user's pressure standard. The most
common discrepancy found in transmitters is usually due to Zero displacement. This may be corrected
by means of the zero trim or the lower trim.
There are four types of pressure trim available:
 LOWER TRIM: Is used to trim the reading at the lower range. The user informs the transmitter the
correct reading for the applied pressure via HART configuration tool.
NOTE
Check on section 1, the note on the influence of the mounting position on the indicator.
For better accuracy, the trim adjustment should be made in the lower and upper values of the
operation range values.
 UPPER TRIM: Is used to trim the reading at the upper range. The user informs the transmitter the
correct reading for the applied pressure via HART configuration tool.
WARNING
The upper pressure trim shall always be applied after the zero trim.
 ZERO TRIM: is similar to the LOWER TRIM, but is assumed that the applied pressure is zero. The
reading equal to zero must be active when the pressures of differential transmitter cameras are
equalized or when a gage transmitter opens to atmosphere or when the absolute transmitter is
applied to the vacuum. Therefore, the user does not need to enter with any value.
NOTE
The pressure taps on the transmitter must be equalized when zero trim is applied.
 CHARACTERIZATION: this is used to correct any possible intrinsic non-linearity to the conversion
process. Characterization is done by means of a linearization table, with up to five points. The user
shall apply pressure and use the HART configuration tools to inform the pressure value applied to
each point of the table. In most cases, characterization is not required, due to the efficiency of the
production process. The transmitter will display "CHAR", thus indicating that the characterization
process has been activated. The LD301 is fitted with an internal feature to enable or disable the use
of the Characterization Table.
WARNING
The characterization trim changes the transmitter characteristics. Read the instructions carefully
and make sure that you are working with a pressure standard with 0.03% accuracy or better,
otherwise the transmitter accuracy will be seriously affected.
3.6

Configuration
Primary Variable Current Trim

When the microprocessor generates a 0% signal, the Digital to Analog converter and associated
electronics are supposed to deliver a 4 mA output. If the signal is 100%, the output should be 20 mA.
There might be differences between the Smar current standards and your current plant Standard. In this
case, the Current Trim adjustment shall be done with a precision ammeter as measurement reference.
Two Current Trim types are available:
 4 mA TRIM: this is used to adjust the output current value corresponding to 0% of the
measurement;
 20 mA TRIM: this is used to adjust the output current value corresponding to 100% of the
measurement;
The Current Trim shall be carried out as per the following procedure:
 Connect the transmitter to the precision ammeter;
 Select one of the Trim types;
 Wait a while for the current to stabilize and inform the transmitter the current readout of the
precision ammeter.
NOTE
The transmitter presents a resolution that makes it possible to control currents as low as
microamperes. Therefore, when informing the current readout to the transmitter, it is recommended
that data input consider values up to tenths of microamperes.
Transmitter Adjustment to the Working Range

This function directly affects the transmitter 4-20 mA output. It is used to define the transmitter working
range; in this document it is referred to as the transmitter calibration. The LD301 transmitter includes
two calibration features:
 CALIBRATION WITH REFERENCE: this is used to adjust the transmitter working range, using a
pressure standard as reference;
 CALIBRATION WITHOUT REFERENCE: this is used to adjust the transmitter working range,
simply by having user-informed limit values.
Both calibration methods define the Working Range Upper and Lower values, in reference to some
applied pressure or simply informed by entered values. CALIBRATION WITH REFERENCE differs from
the Pressure Trim, since CALIBRATION WITH REFERENCE establishes a relationship between the
applied pressure and the 4 to 20 mA signal, and the Pressure Trim is used to correct the measurement.
In the transmitter mode, the Lower Value always corresponds to 4 mA and the Upper Value to 20 mA. In
the controller mode, the Lower Value corresponds to PV=0% and the Upper Value to PV=100%.
The calibration process calculates the LOWER and the UPPER values in a completely independent way.
The adjustment of values does not affect one another. The following rules shall, however, be observed:
 The Lower and Upper values shall be within the range limited by the Minimum and Maximum
Ranges supported by the transmitter. As a tolerance, values exceeding such limits by up to 24% are
accepted, although with some accuracy degradation;
 The Working Range Span, determined by the difference between the Upper and Lower Values, shall
be greater than the minimum span, defined by [Transmitter Range / (120) for models: D, M, H, A4,
A5, and Transmitter Range / (2,5), (25), or (50) for A1, A2, and A3, respectively]. Values up to 0.75
of the minimum span are acceptable with slight accuracy degradation.
NOTE
Should the transmitter operate with a very small span, it will be extremely sensitive to pressure
variations. Keep in mind that the gain will be very high and that any pressure change, no matter
how small, will be amplified.
If it is necessary to perform a reverse calibration, that is, to work with an UPPER VALUE smaller than
the LOWER VALUE, proceed as follows:
3.7

 Place the Lower Limit in a value as far as possible from the present Upper Value and from the new
adjusted Upper value, observing the minimum span allowed. Adjust the Upper Value at the desired point
and, then, adjust the Lower Value.
This type of calibration is intended to prevent the calibration from reaching, at any moment, values not
compatible with the range. For example: lower value equals to upper value or separated by a value
smaller than the minimum span.
This calibration procedure is also recommended for zero suppression or elevation in those cases where
the instrument installation results in a residual measurement in relation to a certain reference. This is the
specific case of the wetted tap.
NOTE
In most applications with wetted taps, indication is usually expressed as a percentage. Should readout
in engineering units with zero suppression be required, it is recommended to use the User Unit
feature for such conversion.
Engineering Unit Selection

Transmitter LD301 includes a selection of engineering units to be used in measurement indication.
For pressure measurements, the LD301 includes an option list with the most common units. The internal
reference unit is inH2O @ 20 ºC; should the desired unit be other than this one, it will be automatically
converted using conversion factors included in Table 3.1.
As the LD301 uses a 4 ½ digit display, the largest indication will be 19999. Therefore, when selecting a
unit, make sure that it will not require readouts greater than this limit. For User reference, Table 3.1
presents a list of recommended sensor ranges for each available unit.

Table 3.1 – Available Pressure Units
In applications where the LD301 will be used to measure variables other than pressure or in the cases
where a relative adjustment has been selected, the new unit may be displayed by means of the User
Unit feature. This is the case of measurements such as level, volume, and flow rate or mass flow
obtained indirectly from pressure measurements.
The User Unit is calculated adopting the working range limits as a reference, which is, defining a value
corresponding to 0% and another corresponding to 100% of the measurement:
 0% - Desired readout when the pressure is equal to the Lower Value (PV% = 0%, or transmitter
mode output equal to 4 mA);
 100% - Desired readout when the pressure is equal to the Upper Value (PV% = 100%, or transmitter
mode output equal to 20 mA).
3.8

Configuration
The user unit may be selected from a list of options included in the LD301. Table 3.2 makes it possible
to associate the new measurement to the new unit so that all supervisory systems fitted the HART
protocol can access the special unit included in this table. The user will be responsible for the

100% inserted by the user are compatible with the selected unit.

Table 3.2 – Available User Units
Should a special unit other than those presented on Table 3.2 be required, the LD301 allows the user to
create a new unit by entering up to 5 alphanumeric digits. The LD301 includes an internal feature to
enable and disable the User Unit.
Example: transmitter LD301 is connected to a horizontal cylindrical tank (6 meters long and 2 meters in
diameter), linearized for volume measurement using camber table data in its linearization table.
Measurement is done at the high-pressure tap and the transmitter is located 250 mm below the support
base. The fluid to be measured is water at 20 C. Tank volume is: [(.d2)/4].l = [(.22)/4].6 = 18.85 m3.
The wet tap shall be subtracted from the measured pressure in order to obtain the tank level. Therefore,
a calibration without reference shall be carried out, as follows:
In Calibration:
Lower = 250 mmH2O
Upper = 2250 mmH2O
Pressure unit = mmH2O
In User Unit:
User Unit 0% = 0
User Unit 100% = 18.85 m³
User Unit = m3
When activating the User's Unit, LD301 it will start to indicate the new measurement.
Transfer Function for Flow Measurement

The function can be used to linearize the measured pressure to flow or volume. The following functions
are available:
NOTE
 Use the lowest required damping to prevent measurement delays;
 If the square root extraction for flow measurement is carried out externally by other loop element, do
not enable this function on the transmitter
SQRT - Square Root. Considering the pressure input X varying between 0 and 100%, the output will
be 10 x . This function is used in flow measurement with, e.g., orifice or Venturi tube etc.
The Square Root has an adjustable cutoff point. Below this point the output is linear, if the cutoff mode is
bumpless with the differential pressure as indicated by the Figure 3.5. If the cutoff mode is hard the
output will be 0% below the cutoff point. The default value for Cutoff is 6% of ranged pressure input. The
maximum value for cutoff is 100%. Cutoff is used to limit the high gain, which results from square root
extraction on small values. This gives a more stable reading at low flows.
3.9

In order to find the square root, the LD301 configurable parameters are: cutoff point defined at a certain
pressure expressed as % and the cutoff mode, hard or bumpless.

NOTE
In bumpless cutoff mode the gain below the cutoff point is given by the equation:

G
cutoff
For example, at 1% the gain is 10, i.e., a 0.1% error in differential pressure, gives a 1% error in Flow
reading. The lower the cutoff, the higher is the gain.
The measurement of the bidirectional flow is useful when it is needed to measure the flow in the pipe in
both directions. For example, in tank maneuvering there are several pipes where the direction of the fluid
may vary. In this case, LD301 has the bidirectional flow measurement function. This function treats the
flow, no matter what its direction is, as if it were positive. Thus, it is possible to extract the square root
and measure the bidirectional flow.
 SQRT**3 - Square Root of the Third Power;
The output will be 0.1 x3 . This function is used in open channel Flow measurement with weirs or
flumes.
 SQRT**5 - Square Root of the Fifth Power. The output will be 0.001 x5 . This function is used in
open channel Flow measurement with V-notch weirs.
It is possible to combine the previous functions with a table. The flow can be corrected according to the
table to compensate, for example, the variation of Reynolds number at the flow measurement.
 TABLE - The output is a curve formed by 16 points. These points may be edited directly on the XY
Table of the LD301. For example, it may be used as a camber table for tanks in applications where
the tank volume is not linear in relation to the measured pressure;
 SQRT & TABLE - Square root and Table. Same application as square roots, but also allows
additional compensation of, e.g., varying Reynolds number.
 SQRT**3 & TABLE - Square Root of the Third Power AND TABLE;
 SQRT**5 & TABLE - Square Root of the Fifth Power AND TABLE.
 TABLE & SQRT – This function provides bidirectional flow measurement (piping flow measurement
in both ways). This function is available for version 6.05 or above firmware.
Example:
There is a flow on the positive direction (high pressure on the H side) with a 0 to 400 mbar DP and a flow
on the negative direction (high pressure on the L side) from 0 to 100 mbar. For these data make the
range lower value equal to -100 mbar, complete the table below, and always including the 0 per cent
pressure value, namely 20 per cent. Insert the data on the transmitter.

NOTE
To configure a symmetrical bidirectional flow double the number of calibration points to get a better
performance.
Next, configure the cutting point. Refer to the previous Root item.
Table Points
If the option TABLE is selected, the output will follow a curve given in the option TABLE POINTS. If the
user wants to have your 4-20 mA proportional to the fluid volume or mass inside a tank, he must
transform the pressure measurement "X" into volume (or mass) "Y" using the tank strapping table, as
the example shown in Table 3.3.

Table 3.3 - Tank Strapping Table
As shown on the previous example, the points may be freely distributed for any desired value of X. In
order to achieve a better linearization, the distribution should be concentrated in the less linear parts of
the measurement.
The LD301 includes an internal feature to enable and disable the Linearization Table.
Totalization Configuration
When the LD301 works in flow applications it is often desirable to totalize the flow in order to know the
accumulated volume or mass that has flown through the pipe/channel.
The totalizer integrates the PV% along time, working with a time scheduling based on seconds, as per
the following formula:
MAXIMUM FLOWRATE
TOT   PV % dt
TOTALIZATION INCREMENT
The method uses such totalization and, through three parameters (MAXIMUM FLOWRATE, TOTAL
INCREMENT and TOTAL UNIT), converts it to the user-defined totalizing unit:
 MAXIMUM FLOW RATE - this is the maximum flow rate expressed in volume or mass units per
second, corresponding to the measurement (PV%=100%). For example: m3/s, bbl/s, kg/s, lb/s;
3.11

 TOTALIZATION INCREMENT - this is used to convert the flow rate base unit into a multiple unit of
mass or volume. For example, a flow rate totalized in gallons/s may be converted to a volume in m3;
a mass flow rate of g/s may be converted to kilos, etc.
 TOTALIZATION UNIT - this is the engineering unit. It shall be associated to the totalized value. It
may be a standard unit or a special unit with up to five characters.
WARNING
The totalizer shall be disabled so that any of these parameters can be configured.
The largest totalized value is 99.999.999 totalizing units. When the totalization is displayed, the most
significant part is shown on the numeric field, and the less significant part is shown on the alphanumeric
field. Figure 3.6 shows a typical display indication.
NOTE
F(t) indication is activated every time the totalized value is shown on the digital display.
F(t)
+ SIGNIFICANT
- SIGNIFICANT
Figure 3.6 – Typical Monitoring Mode Display Showing the Total, in this case 19.6708.23
The following services are associated with the Totalizer:
 INITIALIZATION - Totalization is reinitialized from value "0";
 ENABLING / DISABLING - this allows the totalization function to be enabled or disabled.
WARNING
From Version V6.00 on, with the use of the new main board, the totalized value is persistent, i.e.,
there is no longer the risk of losing this information in case of power failure.
Example: A differential pressure of 0 - 20 inH2O represents a flow of 0 - 6800 dm3/minute.

In CONF set Lower = 0 inH2O and Upper = 20 inH2O.
In order to adjust the MAX._FLOW, the maximum flow must be converted to cubic decimeters per
second: 6800 / 60 = 113.3 dm3 /s.
The selection of the totalization unit (U_TOTAL) is made in function of the maximum flow and the
minimum time allowable for the counter overrun, i.e., the time required for the totalization to reach
99.999.999.
In the example, if U_TOTAL = 1, the totalization increment is 1 dm3. The time required for the overrun
with maximum flow is 245 hours, 10 minutes and 12.5 seconds.
On the other hand, in case a TOTALIZATION INCREMENT equal to 10 is used, the totalized unit will be
deciliter (dal) and the totalizer will receive one increment at every 10 dm3. Considering the maximum
flow rate (113.3 dm3/s), the totalizer will reach its maximum value and return to zero in 102 days, 3
hours, 42 minutes and 5.243 seconds.
PID Controller Configuration

The LD301 may be factory -configured to work as Transmitter only or as Transmitter / Controller. In case
the LD301 is configured as a Transmitter / Controller, the end user may change its operation mode at
any time simply by configuring an internal status variable.
As a PID Controller, the LD301 may run a PID type control algorithm, where its 4 to 20 mA will represent
the status of the Manipulated variable (MV). In such a mode, output is 4 mA when the MV = 0% and 20
mA when MV= 100%.
3.12

Configuration
The PID implementation algorithm is:
MV  Kp (e  1/Tr  e dt  Td dPV/dt )
Where:
e(t) = PV-SP (direct) SP-PV (reverse)
SP = Setpoint
PV = Process Variable (Pressure, Level, Flow, etc.)
Kp = Proportional Gain
Tr = Integration Time
Td = Derivative Time
MV = Manipulated Variable (output)
The three configuration groups below are pertinent to the PID controller:
 SAFETY LIMITS - this group enables the configuration of: Safety Output, Output Rate and Output
Lower and Upper Limits.
The Safety Output defines the value of the output in the case of equipment failure.
Output Rate is the maximum variation Rate allowed for the output, expressed in %/s.
The Lower and Upper Limits define the output range.
 TUNING - this group enables the PID tuning to be performed. The following parameters may be
adjusted: Kp, Tr and Td.
Parameter Kp is the proportional gain (not the proportional band) that controls the PID proportional
action. It may be adjusted from 0 to 100.
Parameter Tr is the integral time that controls the PID integral action. It may be adjusted from 0 to
999 minutes per repetition.
Parameter Td is the derivative time controlling the PID derivative action. It may be adjusted from 0
to 999 seconds.
NOTE
All these parameters accept zero as input. Such value simply nullifies the corresponding PID control
actions.
 OPERATION MODES - this group enables the configuration of: Control Action, Setpoint Tracking
and Power On.
The Control Action Mode enables the selection of the desired output action: direct or reverse. In
direct action, a PV increase causes an output increase; in reverse action, a PV increase causes an
output decrease.
When the Setpoint Tracking mode is enabled, it is possible for the Setpoint to follow the PV while in
Manual Control. Thus, when control passes to Auto, the Setpoint value will be that of the last PV
prior to the switching.
When the PID is enabled, the Power On mode allows the adjustment of the mode in which the PID
controls shall return after a power failure: Manual mode, Automatic mode or the last mode prior to
the power failure.
 TABLE – If the table option is selected, the MV output will follow a curve according to the values
typed in the LD301’s characterization table. The points can freely be configured as percentage
values. For a better linearization, it is recommendable that the points are the closest possible, in the
less linear regions of the curve. The LD301 has an internal variable to enable and disable the
characterization table of the MV output of the PID.
Equipment Configuration
The LD301 enables the configuration not only of its operational services, but of the instrument itself.
This group includes services related to: Input Filter, Burnout, Addressing, Display Indication, Writing
Protection and Passwords.
 INPUT FILTER - The Input Filter, also referenced to as damping, is a first class digital filter
implemented by the firmware. User configurable from any value higher than zero seconds in addition
to intrinsic sensor response time (0.2 s) (via digital communication). The transmitter mechanical
damping is 0.2 seconds.
3.13

 BURN OUT - The output current may be programmed to go to the maximum limit of 21 mA (Full
Scale) or to the minimum limit of 3.6 mA in case of transmitter failure. Configuring the BURNOUT
parameter for Upper or Lower may do this.
The BURNOUT configuration is only valid in the transmitter mode. When a failure occurs in the PID
mode, the output is driven to a safety Output value, between 3.8 and 20.5 mA.
 ADDRESSING - The LD301 includes a variable to define the equipment address in a HART
network. Addresses may go from value "0" to "15"; addresses from "1" to "15" are specific
addresses for multidrop connections. This means that, in a multidrop configuration, the LD301 will
display the message MDROP for addresses "1" to "15".
NOTE
The output current will be increased to 4 mA as the LD301 address, in the Transmitter mode, is
altered to another value than "0" (this does not happen when the LD301 is configured in the Controller
mode).
The LD301 is factory-configured with address "0".
 DISPLAY INDICATION - the LD301 digital display is comprised of three distinct fields: an
information field with icons indicating the active configuration status, a 4 ½ digit numeric field for
value indication and a 5 digit alphanumeric field for units and status information.
The LD301 may work with up to two display configurations to be alternately displayed at 3 second
intervals. Parameters that may be selected for visualization are those listed on Table 3.4, below.
PARAMETER DESCRIPTION
CURRENT Current in mille amperes.
PV% Process Variable in percentage.
PV Process Variable in engineering units.
MV% (*) Output in percentage.
PR Pressure in pressure unit.
TEMP Ambient temperature.
TOTAL Total accumulated by the totalizer.
SP% (*) Setpoint in percentage.
SP (*) Setpoint in engineering units.
ER% (*) Error in percentage (PV% - SP %).
NONE Used to cancel the second indication.
Table 3.4 – Variables for Display Indication
NOTE
Items marked with an asterisk can only be selected in the PID mode.
Total can only be selected if enabled.
 WRITING PROTECTION - This feature is used to protect the transmitter configuration from changes
via communication. All configuration data are writing-protected.
The LD301 includes two write protection mechanisms: software and hardware locking; software
locking has higher priority.
When the LD301 writing software protection mechanism is enabled, it is possible, by means of
specific commands, to enable or disable the write protection.
 PASSWORDS - this service enables the user to modify the operation passwords used in the LD301.
Each password defines the access for a priority level (1 to 3); such configuration is stored in the
LD301 EEPROM. Password Level 3 is hierarchically superior to password level 2, which is superior
to level 1. The levels 1 and 2 are available for external access allowing configurator to create its
proper access structure.

Here are grouped maintenance services related with the collection of information required for equipment
maintenance. The following services are available: Order Code, Serial Number, Operation Counter and

PROGRAMMING USING LOCAL
ADJUSTMENT
The Magnetic Tool
The digital display enables the local adjustment function.
The local adjustment function may be used only through the digital display. The LD301 on transmitter
mode, without display and jumper-configured for simple mode, executes only the calibration function.
If it is on controller mode and without display, the local adjustment cannot be executed. On this
situation and with the display connected, only the OPER and TOTAL functions may be executed.
Figure 4.1 shows the location of the local adjustment female pins to connect the Local Adjustment
Jumpers.
NOTE
For the transmitter configuration to be totally available, the configurators should be based on PC to be
utilized (e.g., DDL – device description language), like for instance the CONF401, or the hand held
configurator, such as the Palm Top (HPC401).

4.1

LD301 - Operation and Maintenance Instruction Manual
The transmitter has, under the identification plate, holes for two magnetic switches activated by the
magnetic tool (See Figure 4.2).
MAGNETIZED PART
Figure 4.2 – Local Zero and Span Adjustment holes and Local Adjustment Switches
The holes are marked with Z (Zero) and S (Span) and from now on will be designated simply by (Z) and
(S), respectively. Table 4.2 shows the action performed by the magnetic tool while inserted in (Z) and
(S) in accordance with the selected adjustment type.
Browsing the functions and their branches works as follows:
1 - Inserting the handle of the magnetic tool in (Z), the transmitter passes from the normal
measurement state to the transmitter configuration state. The transmitter software automatically
starts to display the available functions in a cyclic routine. The group of functions displayed
depends on the mode selected for the LD301, either Transmitter or Controller.
2 - In order to reach the desired option, browse the options, wait until they are displayed and move the
magnetic tool from (Z) to (S). Refer to Figure 4.3 – Local Adjustment Programming Tree, in order to
know the position of the desired option. By placing the magnetic tool once again in (Z), it is possible
to browse other options within this new branch.
3 - The procedure to reach the desired option is similar to the one described on the previous item, for
the whole hierarchical level of the programming tree.

For LD301 versions V6.XX, the digital display shall be number 400-0559, as per the updated spare
parts list.
Simple Local Adjust

The LD301 works differently when a simple local adjustment is selected in the transmitter mode and in
the controller mode. In the transmitter mode, the simple local adjustment is used for Zero and Span
calibration, and in the controller mode, it restricts the use of the configuration tree to the OPERATION
and TOTALIZATION functions.
4.2

Programming Using Local Adjustment
Zero and Span Reranging

The LD301 working in the transmitter mode can be very easily calibrated. It requires only Zero and
Span adjustment in accordance with the working range.
To make these adjustments, the instrument must be configured as "transmitter" (XMTR).
Via HART configurator or by using item "MODE" in option "CONF" of the local adjustment; the jumpers
shall be configured for simple local adjustment. In case the LD301 display is not connected, the simple
local adjustment is automatically activated.
Zero calibration with reference shall be done as follows:
 Apply the Lower Value pressure.
 Wait for the pressure to stabilize.
 Insert the magnetic tool in the ZERO adjustment hole. (See Figure 4.2)
 Wait 2 seconds and soon the transmitter should be reading 4 mA.
 Remove the tool.
Zero calibration with reference does not affect the span. In order to change the span, the following
procedure shall be observed:
 Apply the Upper Value pressure.
 Wait for the pressure to stabilize.
 Insert the magnetic tool in the SPAN adjustment hole.
 Wait 2 seconds. The transmitter should be reading 20 mA.
 Remove the tool.
Zero adjustment causes zero elevation or suppression and a new upper value (URV) are calculated in
accordance with the effective span. In case the resulting URV is higher than the Upper Limit Value
(URL), the URV will be limited to the URL value, and the span will be automatically affected.
NOTE
On elevation or suppression measuring configure the user unit to facilitate the local reading.
Complete Local Adjustment

The transmitter must be fitted with the digital display for this function to be enabled.
The following functions are available for local adjustment: Constant Current, Table Points Adjustment,
User Units, Fail-safe, Current Trim and Pressure Characterization Trim, Totalization Parameters;
Address change and Some items of function INFORMATION
WARNING
When programming using local adjustment, the transmitter will not prompt "Control loop should be in
manual!" as it does when using the HART configurator for programming. Therefore it is a good
idea, before configuration, to switch the loop to manual. And do not forget to return to auto after
configuration is completed.
Local Programming Tree

The local adjustment uses a tree structure where, by placing the magnetic tool in (Z) it is possible to
browse the options of a branch and, by placing it in (S); details of the chosen option are shown. Figure
4.3 - Local Adjustment Programming Tree shows the LD301 available options.
4.3

Figure 4.3 – Local Adjustment Programming Tree – Main Menu
Actuating in (Z) activates local adjustment. In the transmitter mode, options OPER and TUNE are
disabled; therefore, the main branch starts at the CONF option.
OPERATION (OPER) - Is the option where the operation related parameters of the controller are
configured: Auto/Manual, Setpoint and Manual output.
TUNING (TUNE) - Is the option where the PID-Algorithm related parameters are configured: Action, Kp,
Tr and Td.
CONFIGURATION (CONF) - Is the option where the output and display related parameters are
configured: unit, primary and secondary display, calibration, function and operation mode.
TOTALIZATION (TOTAL) - Is the option used to totalize flow in volume or mass units.
TRIM (TRIM) - Is the option used to calibrate the "without reference" characterization and the digital
reading.
ESCAPE (ESC) - Is the option used to go back to normal monitoring mode.
Operation [OPER]
This adjustment option is applicable to the LD301 configured in the Controller mode. It allows the
control state to be changed from Automatic to Manual and vice versa, and also to adjust the Setpoint
and Manipulated Variable values. Figure 4.4 shows branch OPER with the available options.

Tuning [TUNE]
This adjustment option is applicable to the LD301 configured in the Controller mode. It allows the
control loop to be tuned, acting on the Proportional, Integral and Derivative terms, and also to alter the
PID mode. The implemented algorithm is a PID type, with the following characteristics:
 The proportional action is given by the Proportional Gain and not by the proportional band.
Range: 0 - 100.
 Integral action is expressed in minutes per repetition. Range: 0 - 999 min/rep.
 The derivative constant is obtained in seconds. Range 0 - 999 seconds.
It is possible to cancel the Integral and Derivative actions by adjusting Tr and Td, respectively to 0.

MAINTENANCE
General
NOTE
Equipments installed in hazardous atmospheres must be inspected in compliance with the IEC60079-
17 standard.
Below, there are some important maintenance procedures that should be followed in order to have safer
plant and easy maintenance.
In general, it is recommended that end users do not try to repair printed circuit boards. Spare circuit
boards may be ordered from SMAR whenever necessary.
The sensor has been designed to operate for many years without malfunctions. Should the process
application require periodic cleaning of the transmitter, the flanges may be easily removed and
reinstalled.
Should the sensor eventually require maintenance, it may not be changed on the field. In this case, the
possibly damaged sensor should be returned to SMAR for evaluation and, if necessary, repair. Refer to
the "Returning Materials" item at the end of this Section.
Diagnostic using Configuration Tool

Should any problem be noticed regarding the transmitter output, the configurator can be used to verify
what is the problem (see Table 5.1).
The configurator should be connected to the transmitter according to the wiring diagram shown on
Section 1, Figures 1.7, 1.8 and 1.9.

Disassembly Procedure
WARNING
Do not disassemble with power on.
Figure 5.1 shows a transmitter exploded view and will help you to visualize the following:
Sensor
In order to have access to the sensor (27) for cleaning purposes, the transmitter should be removed
from its process connections. The transmitter should be isolated from the process by means of
manifolds or valves; then, the drain (23) must be opened to vent any remaining pressure.
After this, the transmitter may be removed from the standpipe. The flange bolts (18) may now be
loosened, one at a time. After removing bolts and flanges (17), the isolating diaphragms will be easily
accessible for cleaning.
Cleaning should be done carefully in order to avoid damaging the delicate isolating diaphragms. Use of
a soft cloth and a nonacid solution is recommended.
To remove the sensor from the electronic housing, the electrical connections (in the field terminal side)
and the main board connector must be disconnected.
Loosen the hex screw (8) and carefully unscrew the electronic housing from the sensor, observing if the
flat cable is not excessively twisted.
WARNING
To avoid damage do not rotate the electronic housing more than 270º starting from the fully threaded
without disconnecting the electronic circuit from the sensor and from the power supply. See Figure 5.2.
Electronic Circuit
To remove the circuit board (6), loosen the two screws (5), that anchor the board and hold the (7)
spacers in the other side to avoid losing them.
WARNING
The board has CMOS components, which may be damaged by electrostatic discharges. Observe
correct procedures for handling CMOS components. It is also recommended to store the circuit
boards in electrostatic-proof cases.
5.4

Maintenance
Figure 5.1 – Exploded View
5.5

Figure 5.2 – Sensor Safety Rotation
Pull the main board out of the housing and disconnect the power supply and the sensor connectors.
Reassembly Procedure
WARNING
Do not assemble with power on.
Sensor
When mounting the sensor (27), make use of a new set of gaskets (19 & 20) compatible with the
process fluid. The bolts, nuts, flanges and other parts should be inspected for corrosion or other
eventual damage. Damaged parts should be replaced.
The O-rings should be lightly lubricated with silicon oil before they are fitted into place. Use halogen
grease on applications having inert filling fluid. The flanges must be positioned on a flat surface. Insert
the gaskets and Backup (28) (only for high pressure) in the flange according to figure 5.1. Set the four
bolts (18) and tighten the nuts (22) initially by hand while keeping the flanges parallel through the whole
mounting and finalize with an adequate tool.
O’RINGS AND BACKUP RINGS FOR HIGH PRESSURE

High pressure transmitters A5, A6, M5, M6 and High static pressure H2, H3, H4, H5 and the
sensors with tantalum diaphragm that use Buna-N or Viton O-ring must use a metallic backup Ring
(28) to prevent extrusion of O-ring. Do not use the backup O-Ring when using Teflon O-Rings or
flanges that have Kynar insets (PVDF).
Avoid bending the backup ring and inspect it for knits, cuts etc. Be careful when mounting it. The flat
side, which shines more than the beveled side, shall be mounted against the O-ring (Figure 5.3).
Procedure for tightening the flange screws

With the flanges holding the O-Rings in place, insert the four bolts (18) and tight the nuts (22) finger
tight, making sure the flanges remain parallel all the time.
5.6

Maintenance
Figure 5.3 – Backup Ring Mounting
 Tighten one nut till the flange seats;

 Tighten the nut diagonally across with a torque of approximately 2.75 ±0.25 Kgf.m;
 Tighten the first nut with the same torque;
 Verify the flanges alignment;
 Check torque on the four bolts.
Should the adapters (26) be removed, it is recommended to replace gaskets (24) and to connect the
adapters to the process flanges before coupling them to the sensor. Optimum torque is 2.75 ±0.25
Kgf.m.
The fitting of the sensor must be done with the main board out of the electronic housing. Mount the
sensor to the housing turning it clockwise until it stops. Then turn it counterclockwise until the cover (1)
is parallel to the process flange (17). Tighten the screw (8) to lock the body to the sensor.
Electronic Circuit
Plug sensor connector and power supply connector to main board. If there is a display, attach it to the
main board by means of 4 screws (3). The display can be installed in any of the 4 possible positions
(See Figure 5.4).
The ”” mark indicates up position.
Pass the screws (5) through the main board holes (6) and the spacers (7) as shown on Figure 5.1 and
tighten them to the body.
After tightening the protective cover (1), mounting procedure is complete. The transmitter is ready to be
energized and tested. It is recommended that adjustment be done on the ZERO TRIM and on the
UPPER PRESSURE TRIM.
5.7

Figure 5.4 – Four Possible Positions of the Display
Interchangeability
In order to obtain an accurate and better temperature compensated response, each sensor is submitted
to a characterization process and the specific data is stored in an EEPROM located in the sensor body.
The main board, in this operation, reads the sensor serial number and compares it with the number
stored in the main board. In case they do not match, the circuit considers that the sensor has been
changed and will probe the memory of the new sensor for the following information:
 Temperature compensation coefficients.
 Sensor trim data, including 5-point characterization curve.
 Sensor characteristics: type, range, diaphragm material and fill fluid.
Information not transferred during sensor replacement will remain unchanged in the main board
memory. Thus, information such as Upper Value, Lower Value, Damping, Pressure Unit and replaceable
transmitter parts (Flange, O-ring, etc.) shall be updated, depending whether the correct information is
that of the sensor or the main board. In the case of a new sensor, the main board will have the most
updated information; in the opposite case, the sensor will have the correct information. Depending on
the situation, the updating shall be from one or the other.
Data transference from the main board to the sensor or vice versa can also be forced by function
MAINT/BACKUP/READ FROM SENSOR.
Returning Materials
Should it become necessary to return the transmitter and/or configurator to SMAR, simply contact our
office, informing the defective instrument serial number, and return it to our factory.
If it becomes necessary to return the transmitter and/or configurator to Smar, simply contact our office,
informing the defective instrument's serial number, and return it to our factory. In order to speed up

Smar Insulator Kit

The Insulator Kit Smar prevents the generation of galvanic current between metals when in contact. The
difference of potential between the metals generates this current that flows from the metal with higher
potential to the metal with lower potential. This process in the presence of aqueous solution with salts,
acids or bases can start the corrosion process, where the corroded metal is always the one with bigger
potential (anode).
In the processes, when it is impossible to isolate the two potencialized metals, occurs the generation of
galvanic current. This current will form free ions of hydrogen (H+) in one of the solutions, with tendency
to start the corrosion and the migration of the Hydrogen to the diaphragm of the Remote Seal or of the
Level Transmitter.
The figure 5.5 shows the following parts that constitute the Smar Insulator Kit: Teflon Gasket (6),
Nonmetallic Insulating Sleeve (4), Mica Washers (3) and Steel Washers (2).
Smar Insulator Kit Mounting

Mounting step by step:
1 – Insert all the Nonmetallic Insulating Sleeve (4) in the holes of the Sealed Flange (5);
2 – Put the Teflon Gasket (6) between the Flanges (5 e 7);
3 – Insert the Steel Washers (2) and the Mica Washers (3) in the bolts (1)
4 – Join the Flanges positioning its holes (5 and 7);
5 – Introduce the bolts in the holes of the flanges (5 and 7) and tighten the flanges with the nuts (8)
6 – Measure the resistance between the Sealed Flange (5) and the Flange of Process (7) that should be
tending to the infinite to check the efficiency of the Insulator Kit.
NOTE
If the studs are used instead of the bolts, obey the same mounting sequence for the items 2, 3 and 4.
This Insulator Kit can be applied with raised and flat face flanges.
The Gasket must be made of Teflon when the Smar Insulator Kit is indicated.
