Installation Versatility— With the integration of a wafer-style liquid level sensor and transmitter into one product, the DL3 enables users to install digital level transmitters to a variety of industry standard or custom process vessel connections. Installing the DL3 in a customer-supplied external cage gives process equipment designers freedom to select the best process vessel connection location and configuration to meet specific application requirements.
HART / AMS Compliant— The DL3 uses the HART protocol to interface to the 275 HART Communicator, or 375 Field Communicator for field operations interface. Advanced user-interface capabilities are enabled by AMS™ Suite: Intelligent Device Manager, including database management, remote calibration, comprehensive views of configuration, alarm, status, compensation tables, and troubleshooting parameters, as well as retaining access to the diagnostic procedures via pull-down menus.
Increased Accuracy— When a process temperature is input via HART protocol, the DL3 can automatically compensate for any specific gravity changes of the process fluid caused by temperature variability.
NACE Compliant— The materials used in the DL3 wafer-style sensor meet the metallurgical requirements of NACE MR0175 2002. Environmental limits may apply.
Corrosion Protection— Acrylic enamel-based paint and encapsulated electronics in the transmitter provide protection and reliability in hostile environments.
Ease of Calibration / Configuration— The DL3 comes factory-calibrated for SG = 1.00 and 21°C (70°F). The Setup Wizard enables a straight forward and fast reconfiguration to the user's application. Changing the SG of the liquid, switching to interface or density mode, or re-ranging the output can all be accomplished by simple data entry.
Modular Design—The stab-in design of the field terminal box allows the easy removal of the instrument for repair or maintenance, without disconnecting field wiring. The modular design of the transducer assembly and the encapsulated electronics board, the separate LCD assembly, and the terminal box, add ease to any maintenance required by the instrument. The terminal box and LCD assembly are passive so re-calibration is not required when they are replaced.
