Installation

WARNING

To avoid personal injury, always wear protective gloves, clothing, and eyewear when performing any installation

operations.

Personal injury or property damage due to sudden release of pressure, contact with hazardous fluid, fire, or explosion can

be caused by puncturing, heating, or repairing a displacer that is retaining process pressure or fluid. This danger may not

be readily apparent when disassembling the sensor or removing the displacer. Before disassembling the sensor or

removing the displacer, observe the appropriate warnings provided in the sensor instruction manual.

Check with your process or safety engineer for any additional measures that must be taken to protect against process

media.

This section contains digital level controller installation information, including an installation flowchart (figure 1),

mounting and electrical installation information, and a discussion of failure mode jumpers.

Do not install, operate, or maintain a DLC3010 digital level controller without being fully trained and qualified in valve,

actuator, and accessory installation, operation, and maintenance. To avoid personal injury or property damage, it is

important to carefully read, understand, and follow all of the contents of this manual, including all safety cautions and

warnings. If you have any questions regarding these instructions contact your Emerson Process Management sales

office before proceeding.

Configuration: On the Bench or in the Loop

Configure the digital level controller before or after installation. It may be useful to configure the instrument on the

bench before installation to ensure proper operation, and to familiarize yourself with its functionality.

Protecting the Coupling and Flexures

CAUTION

Damage to flexures and other parts can cause measurement errors. Observe the following steps before moving the sensor

and controller.

Lever Lock

The lever lock is built in to the coupling access handle. When the handle is open, it positions the lever in the neutral

travel position for coupling. In some cases, this function is used to protect the lever assembly from violent motion

during shipment.

A DLC3010 controller will have one of the following mechanical configurations when received:

1. A fully assembled and coupled caged‐displacer system is shipped with the displacer or driver rod blocked within the

operating range by mechanical means. In this case, the access handle (figure 2) will be in the unlocked position.

Remove the displacer‐blocking hardware before calibration. (See the appropriate sensor instruction manual). The

coupling should be intact.

CAUTION

When shipping an instrument mounted on a sensor, if the lever assembly is coupled to the linkage, and the linkage is

constrained by the displacer blocks, use of the lever lock may result in damage to bellows joints or flexure.

2. If the displacer cannot be blocked because of cage configuration or other concerns, the transmitter is uncoupled

from the torque tube by loosening the coupling nut, and the access handle will be in the locked position. Before

placing such a configuration into service, perform the Coupling procedure.

3. For a cageless system where the displacer is not connected to the torque tube during shipping, the torque tube

itself stabilizes the coupled lever position by resting against a physical stop in the sensor. The access handle will be

in the unlocked position. Mount the sensor and hang the displacer. The coupling should be intact.

4. If the controller was shipped alone, the access handle will be in the locked position. All of the Mounting, Coupling

and Calibration procedures must be performed.

The access handle includes a retaining set screw, as shown in figures 2 and 6. The screw is driven in to contact the

spring plate in the handle assembly before shipping. It secures the handle in the desired position during shipping and

operation. To set the access handle in the open or closed position, this set screw must be backed out so that its top is

flush with the handle surface.

Hazardous Area Approvals and Special Instructions for “Safe Use” and

Installations in Hazardous Locations

Certain nameplates may carry more than one approval, and each approval may have unique installation/wiring

requirements and/or conditions of “safe use”. These special instructions for “safe use” are in addition to, and may

override, the standard installation procedures. Special instructions are listed by approval type.

Note

This information supplements the nameplate markings affixed to the product.

Always refer to the nameplate itself to identify the appropriate certification. Contact your Emerson Process Management sales

office for approval/certification information not listed here.

WARNING

Failure to follow these conditions of safe use could result in personal injury or property damage from fire or explosion, or

area re‐classification.

Mounting

Mounting the 249 Sensor

The 249 sensor is mounted using one of two methods, depending on the specific type of sensor. If the sensor has a

caged displacer, it typically mounts on the side of the vessel as shown in figure 3. If the sensor has a cageless displacer,

the sensor mounts on the side or top of the vessel as shown in figure 4.

Figure 3. Typical Caged Sensor Mounting

A3789‐1

LIQUID LEVEL

Figure 4. Typical Cageless Sensor Mounting

A3788‐1

The DLC3010 digital level controller is typically shipped attached to the sensor. If ordered separately, it may be

convenient to mount the digital level controller to the sensor and perform the initial setup and calibration before

installing the sensor on the vessel.

Note

Caged sensors have a rod and block installed on each end of the displacer to protect the displacer in shipping. Remove these parts

before installing the sensor to allow the displacer to function properly.

Quick Start Guide

D103214X012

DLC3010 Digital Level Controller

DLC3010 Orientation

Mount the digital level controller with the torque tube shaft clamp access hole (see figure 2) pointing downward to

allow accumulated moisture drainage.

Note

If alternate drainage is provided by the user, and a small performance loss is acceptable, the instrument can be mounted in 90

degree rotational increments around the pilot shaft axis. The LCD meter may be rotated in 90 degree increments to accommodate

this.

The digital level controller and torque tube arm are attached to the sensor either to the left or right of the displacer, as

shown in figure 5. This can be changed in the field on a 249 sensor (refer to the appropriate sensor instruction

manual). Changing the mounting also changes the effective action, because the torque tube rotation for increasing

level, (looking at the protruding shaft), is clockwise when the unit is mounted to the right of the displacer and counter‐

clockwise when the unit is mounted to the left of the displacer.

All caged 249 sensors have a rotatable head. That is, the digital level controller can be positioned at any of eight

alternate positions around the cage as indicated by the position numbers 1 through 8 in figure 5. To rotate the head,

remove the head flange bolts and nuts and position the head as desired.

Mounting the Digital Level Controller on a 249 Sensor

Refer to figure 2 unless otherwise indicated.

1. If the set‐screw in the access handle is driven against the spring plate, use a 2 mm hex key to back it out until the

head is flush with the outer surface of the handle (see figure 6) . Slide the access handle to the locked position to

expose the access hole. Press on the back of the handle as shown in figure 2 then slide the handle toward the front

of the unit. Be sure the locking handle drops into the detent.

2. Using a 10 mm deep well socket inserted through the access hole, loosen the shaft clamp (figure 2). This clamp will

be re‐tightened in the Coupling portion of the Initial Setup section.

3. Remove the hex nuts from the mounting studs. Do not remove the adapter ring.

CAUTION

Measurement errors can occur if the torque tube assembly is bent or misaligned during installation.

4. Position the digital level controller so the access hole is on the bottom of the instrument.

5. Carefully slide the mounting studs into the sensor mounting holes until the digital level controller is snug against

the sensor.

6. Reinstall the hex nuts on the mounting studs and tighten the hex nuts to 10 NSm (88.5 lbfSin).
