4.1 General instructionsOndeviceswithathreadedfitting,thehexagonontheprocessfittingmust be tightened with a suitable wrench.See chapter "Dimensions"forwrenchsize.
Warning:The housing or the electrical connection may not be used for screw-ing in! Tightening can cause damage, e. g. to the rotation mechanism of the housing.
Protect your instrument against moisture ingress through the following measures:
• Use a suitable connection cable (see chapter "Connecting to power supply")
• Tighten the cable gland or plug connector• Whenmountinghorizontally,turnthehousingsothatthecable
gland or plug connector point downward• Lead the connection cable downward in front of the cable entry or
plug connector.
This applies mainly to outdoor installations, in areas where high humidity is expected (e.g. through cleaning processes) and on cooled or heated vessels.To maintain the housing protection, make sure that the housing lid is closed during operation and locked, if necessary.Makesurethatthedegreeofcontaminationspecifiedinchapter"Technical data" meets the existing ambient conditions.
Metric threadsIn the case of instrument housings with metric thread, the cable glands are screwed in at the factory. They are sealed with plastic plugs as transport protection.You have to remove these plugs before electrical connection.
NPT threadIn the case of instrument housings with self-sealing NPT threads, it is not possible to have the cable entries screwed in at the factory. The free openings for the cable glands are therefore covered with red dust protection caps as transport protection. The dust protection caps do notprovidesufficientprotectionagainstmoisture.Prior to setup you have to replace these protective caps with ap-proved cable glands or close the openings with suitable blind plugs.
Make sure before mounting that all parts of the instrument exposed to the process are suitable for the existing process conditions.These are mainly:
• Active measuring component• Processfitting• Process seal
Screwing in
Protection against mois-ture
Cable glands

Process conditions in particular are:
• Process pressure• Process temperature• Chemical properties of the medium• AbrasionandmechanicalinfluencesYoucanfinddetailedinformationontheprocessconditionsinchapter"Technical data" as well as on the type label.
The instrument is suitable for standard and extended ambient condi-tions acc. to IEC/EN 61010-1.
4.2 Mounting instructionsMount NivoGuide 3100 in such a way that the distance to vessel installations or to the vessel wall is at least 300 mm (12 in). In non-metallic vessels, the distance to the vessel wall should be at least 500 mm (19.7 in).During operation, the probe must not touch any installations or the vessel wall. If necessary, fasten the probe end.In vessels with conical bottom it can be advantageous to mount the sensor in the center of the vessel, as measurement is then possible nearly down to the lowest point of the bottom. Keep in mind that measurement all the way down to the tip of the probe may not be pos-sible. The exact value of the min. distance (lower dead band) is stated in chapter "Technical data" of the operating instructions.

The reference plane for the measuring range of the sensors is the sealingsurfaceofthethreadorflange.Keep in mind that a min. distance must be maintained below the refer-ence plane and possibly also at the end of the probe - measurement in these areas is not possible (dead band). The length of the cable can be used all the way to the end only when measuring conductive products.Theseblockingdistancesfordifferentmediumsarelistedin chapter "Technical data". Keep in mind for the adjustment that the default setting for the measuring range refers to water.

5.1 Preparing the connectionAlways keep in mind the following safety instructions:
• Carryoutelectricalconnectionbytrained,qualifiedpersonnelauthorised by the plant operator
• If overvoltage surges are expected, overvoltage arresters should be installed
Warning:Connect only in the complete absence of line voltage.
Power supply and current signal are carried on the same two-wire cable.Theoperatingvoltagecandifferdependingontheinstrumentversion.Thedataforpowersupplyarespecifiedinchapter"Technical data".Provide a reliable separation between the supply circuit and the mains circuits according to DIN EN 61140 VDE 0140-1.Power the instrument via an energy-limited circuit acc. to IEC 61010-1, e.g. via Class 2 power supply unit.Keepinmindthefollowingadditionalfactorsthatinfluencetheoperat-ing voltage:
• Lower output voltage of the power supply unit under nominal load (e.g. with a sensor current of 20.5 mA or 22 mA in case of fault)
• Influenceofadditionalinstrumentsinthecircuit(seeloadvaluesinchapter "Technical data")
The instrument is connected with standard two-wire cable without screen. If electromagnetic interference is expected which is above the test values of EN 61326-1 for industrial areas, screened cable should be used.Use cable with round cross section for instruments with housing and cable gland. Use a cable gland suitable for the cable diameter to ensurethesealeffectofthecablegland(IPprotectionrating).We generally recommend the use of shielded cable for HART multidrop mode.
Metric threadsIn the case of instrument housings with metric thread, the cable glands are screwed in at the factory. They are sealed with plastic plugs as transport protection.You have to remove these plugs before electrical connection.
NPT threadIn the case of instrument housings with self-sealing NPT threads, it is not possible to have the cable entries screwed in at the factory. The free openings for the cable glands are therefore covered with red dust protection caps as transport protection.

Prior to setup you have to replace these protective caps with ap-proved cable glands or close the openings with suitable blind plugs.On plastic housings, the NPT cable gland or the Conduit steel tube must be screwed into the threaded insert without grease.Max. torque for all housings, see chapter "Technical data".
If screened cable is required, we recommend connecting the cable screening on both ends to ground potential. In the sensor, the cable screening must be connected directly to the internal ground terminal. The ground terminal on the outside of the housing must be connected to the ground potential (low impedance).In Ex systems, the grounding is carried out according to the installa-tion regulations.
In electroplating plants as well as plants for cathodic corrosion protec-tionitmustbetakenintoaccountthatsignificantpotentialdifferencesexist. This can lead to unacceptably high currents in the cable screen if it is grounded at both ends.
Information:Themetallicpartsoftheinstrument(processfitting,sensor,concen-tric tube, etc.) are connected with the internal and external ground terminal on the housing. This connection exists either directly via the conductive metallic parts or, in case of instruments with external electronics, via the screen of the special connection cable.Youcanfindspecificationsonthepotentialconnectionsinsidetheinstrument in chapter "Technical data".
5.2 ConnectingThe voltage supply and signal output are connected via the spring-loaded terminals in the housing.Connection to the display and adjustment module or to the interface adapter is carried out via contact pins in the housing.
Information:The terminal block is pluggable and can be removed from the electronics. To do this, lift the terminal block with a small screwdriver and pull it out. When reinserting the terminal block, you should hear it snap in.
Proceed as follows:1. Unscrew the housing lid2. If a display and adjustment module is installed, remove it by turn-
ing it slightly to the left3. Loosen compression nut of the cable gland and remove blind
plug4. Remove approx. 10 cm (4 in) of the cable mantle, strip approx.
1 cm (0.4 in) of insulation from the ends of the individual wires5. Insert the cable into the sensor through the cable entry

Corresponding linearisation curves are preprogrammed for these vessels. They represent the correlation between the level percentage and vessel volume.The linearisation applies to the measured value indication and the current output. By activating the appropriate curve, the volume per-centage of the vessel is displayed correctly. If the volume should not be displayed in percent but e.g. in l or kg, a scaling can be also set in the menu item "Display".

Thefollowingcircumstancescauseinterferingreflectionsandcaninfluencethemeasurement:
• High mounting sockets• Vessel internals such as struts• Deflectors,etc.Note:A false signal suppression is only recommended with liquid applica-tions.
A false signal suppression detects, marks and saves these false signals to ensure that they are ignored in the level measurement.This should be done with the lowest possible level so that all potential interferingreflectionscanbedetected.Proceed as follows:
Enter the actual distance from the sensor to the product surface.
All interfering signals in this section are detected by the sensor and stored.Keep in mind that with covered probe only false signals in the uncov-ered area of the probe are detected.
Note:Check the distance to the product surface, because if an incorrect (too large) value is entered, the existing level will be saved as a false signal. The level would then no longer be detectable in this area.
If a false signal suppression has already been created in the sensor, the following menu window appears when selecting "False signal suppression":

Note:• Wherever the sensor displays a constant value, the reason could
also be the fault setting of the current output to "Hold value"• If the level indication is too low, the reason could be a line resist-
ance that is too high

Depending on the reason for the fault and the measures taken, the steps described in chapter "Setup" must be carried out again or must be checked for plausibility and completeness.
7.4 Exchanging the electronics moduleIf the electronics module is defective, it can be replaced by the user.In Ex applications, only instruments and electronics modules with ap-propriate Ex approval may be used.
If there is no electronics module available on site, the electronics module can be ordered through the agency serving you. The electron-icsmodulesareadaptedtotherespectivesensoranddifferinsignaloutput or voltage supply.The new electronics module must be loaded with the default settings of the sensor. These are the options:
• In the factory• Or on site by the user
In both cases, the serial number of the sensor is needed. The serial numbers are stated on the type label of the instrument, on the inside of the housing as well as on the delivery note.Whenloadingonsite,theorderdatamustfirstbedownloadedfromthe Internet (see operating instructions "Electronics module").
Caution:Allapplication-specificsettingsmustbeenteredagain.That'swhyyouhave to carry out a fresh setup after exchanging the electronics.Ifyousavedtheparametersettingsduringthefirstsetupofthesen-sor, you can transfer them to the replacement electronics module. A fresh setup is then not necessary.
