You can quickly identify what series and basic type of transmitter you have from the third and fourth digits
in the key number. The letter in the third digit represents one of these basic transmitter types:
A = Absolute Pressure
D = Differential Pressure
F = Flange Mounted
G = Gauge Pressure
R = Remote Seals
The number in the fourth digit matches the first digit in the transmitter Series. Thus, a 1 means the
transmitter is a Series 100 and a 9 is a Series 900.
For a complete breakdown of the Table selections in your model number, please refer to the appropriate
Specification and Model Selection Guide that is provided as a separate document.
ATTENTION
Be aware that previous vintages of the ST 3000 transmitter with designations of Series 100,
Series 100e, Series 600, and Series 900 have been supplied at various times since the
ST 3000 was introduced in 1983. While all these transmitters are functionally alike, there are
differences in housing and electronics design.
This manual only applies for Series 100, Release 300 and Series 900, Release 300
transmitters furnished with the HART communications option (HART 5 ad HART 6).
Release 300 transmitters can be identified by the R300 designation on the nameplate.

Flange mounting
Transmitters that are furnished with integral flange connections (models STFxxx), are bolted directly to the
process flange connection. Figure 9 shows a typical installation for a transmitter with the flange on the high
pressure (HP) side so the HP diaphragm is in direct contact with the process fluid. The low pressure (LP)
side of the transmitter is vented to atmosphere (no connection).
To mount a flange mounted transmitter model, bolt the transmitters flange to the flange pipe on the wall of
the tank.
ATTENTION
Once the transmitter is mounted, the electronics housing can be rotated to the desired
position. See Table 6, Step 4 for details.
It is the End Users responsibility to provide a flange gasket and mounting hardware that are
suitable for the transmitters service condition.
To prevent degradation of performance in Flush-Mounted Flanged Transmitters, exercise care to
ensure that the internal diameter of the flange gasket does not obstruct the sensing diaphragm.
To prevent degradation of performance in Extended Mount Flanged Transmitters, ensure that
there is sufficient clearance in front of the sensing diaphragm body.

Flush mounting
ST 3000 flush mount transmitters (model STG9xx) are mounted directly to the process pipe or tank using a
1 inch weld nipple. Figure 10 shows a typical installation for a transmitter with a flush mount on a pipe.
Follow the steps in Table 8 to install a flush mount transmitter.
Step Action
1 Cut a hole for a 1 standard pipe in the tank or pipe where the transmitter is to be mounted
ATTENTION
On insulated tanks and pipes, remove enough insulation to accommodate the mounting
sleeve.
2 Weld the 1 mounting sleeve to the wall of the tank or to the hole cut on the pipe
3 Insert the meter body of the transmitter into the mounting sleeve and secure with the locking
bolt
4 Tighten the bolt to a torque of 6,4 Nm+/- 0,30 Nm [4.7 ft.-lbs. +/- 0.2 ft.-lbs.]
5 Once the transmitter is mounted, the electronics housing can be rotated to the desired
position. See Table 6, Step 4 for details.
Figure 11 shows typical pipe and flange mounted transmitter installations for comparison.
To mount a flange mounted transmitter model, bolt the transmitters flange to the flange on the wall of the
tank or process pipe.
It is the End Users responsibility to provide a flange gasket and mounting hardware that are suitable for
the transmitters service condition.
ATTENTION
Once the transmitter is mounted, the electronics housing can be rotated to the desired position.
See Table 6, step 4.
WARNING
Mount the remote seal flanges within the limits stated below for the given fill-fluid in the
capillary tubes.
NOTE: The combination of tank vacuum and high pressure capillary head effect should not exceed 9 psi
(300 mm Hg) absolute.
Step Action
2 To measure variable head H1, mount remote seals on tank walls as follows:
If Transmitter Model Number is
STR93D or STR12D, then connect remote seal on high pressure (HP) side of
transmitter to either the lower flange or the upper flange.
If Transmitter Model Number is
STR13D, the remote seal on low pressure (LP) side of transmitter must be connected
to lower flange.
See Figure 12.

Transmitter location
Table 10 lists the mounting location for the transmitter depending on the process.
ATTENTION
For liquid or steam, the piping should slope a minimum of 25.4 mm (1 inch) per 305 mm (1
foot). Slope the piping down towards the transmitter if the transmitter is below the process
connection so the bubbles may rise back into the piping through the liquid. If the transmitter
is located above the process connection, the piping should rise vertically above the
transmitter; then slope down towards the flowline with a vent valve at the high point.
For gas measurement, use a condensate leg and drain at the low point (freeze protection
may be required here). See Appendix C for some suggested freeze protection solutions.
ATTENTION
Care must be taken when installing transmitters on hot processes. The operating temperature
limits for the device (as outlined in Table 3) must not be exceeded. Impulse piping may be
used to reduce the temperature of the process that comes into contact with the transmitter
meter body. As a general rule there is a 56C drop (100F) in the temperature of the process
for every foot of 1/2" uninsulated piping.

fluids (where possible) before connecting these lines to the transmitters meter body.
Be sure all the valves in the blow-down lines are closed tight after the initial blow-down procedure
and each maintenance procedure after that.
Slightly deforming the gasket supplied with the adapter before you insert it into the adapter
may aid in retaining the gasket in the groove while you align the adapter to the process head.
To deform the gasket, submerse it in hot water for a few minutes then firmly press it into its
recessed mounting groove in the adapter.

Terminal Terminal
Each transmitter includes an internal ground terminal to connect the transmitter to earth ground. A ground
terminal can be optionally added to the outside of the electronics housing. While it is not necessary to
ground the transmitter for proper operation, we suggest that you do so to minimize the possible effects of
noise on the output signal and provide additional protection against lightning and static discharge
damage. Note that grounding may be required to meet optional approval body certification. Refer to
Section 3, CE Conformity (Europe) Notice for special conditions.
Optional lightning protection (option LP) can be ordered for transmitters that will be installed in areas
highly susceptible to lightning strikes. Figure 17 shows the 5-screw terminal block used when the lightning
protection option is ordered.
Barriers can be installed per manufacturers instructions for transmitters to be used in intrinsically safe
applications.
Wiring connections
The procedure in Table 14 shows the steps for connecting loop power to the transmitter. For loop wiring
and external wiring diagrams, refer to the installation drawings presented in Section 13. Detailed drawings
are provided for transmitter installation in non-intrinsically safe areas and for intrinsically safe loops in
hazardous area locations.
ATTENTION
All wiring must comply with local codes, regulations, and ordinances.
If you will be using the transmitter in a hazardous area, be sure to review the hazardous
location reference data included in Appendix D of this manual before wiring and operating the
transmitter.
Step Action
1 Loosen end-cap lock using a 1.5 mm allen wrench and remove end-cap cover from terminal
block end of electronics housing.
2 Feed loop power leads through one of conduit entrances on either side of electronics housing.
Plug whichever entrance you do not use.
The transmitter accepts up to 16 AWG wire.

ATTENTION
ST 3000 Smart Transmitters are factory calibrated with inches of water ranges using inches
of water pressure referenced to a temperature of 39.2F (4C).
For a reverse range, enter the upper range value as the LRV and the lower range value as
the URV. For example, to make a 0 to 50 psi range a reverse range, enter 50 as the LRV
and 0 as the URV.
When setting the range using applied pressures (procedure in Table 21), the URV changes
automatically to compensate for any changes in the LRV and to maintain the present span
(URV LRV). When entering the LRV with the keypad (in Table 20), the URV does not

The electrical noise effect on the output signal is partially related to the turndown ratio of the
transmitter. As the turndown ratio increases, the peak-to-peak noise on the output signal
increases. You can use this formula to find the turndown ratio using the range information for
your transmitter.
EXAMPLE: The turndown ratio for a 400 inH2O transmitter with a range of 0 to 50 inH2O would be:
400 8
Turndown Ratio = (50 0) = 1 or 8:1

HART communications protocol provides for communications to multiple HART devices connected on
the same loop (multidrop mode). In a multidrop mode, each device in the loop must be given a unique
address.
For HART 5, a device with a poll address of 1 through 15 is identified as being in multidrop mode.
Communication between the communicator and the devices takes place digitally, with the analog output
remaining constant (fixed at 4 mA average).
A device with a poll address of 0 (zero) will provide a 4 to 20 mA analog output as well as receive
requests and respond to commands from the HART communicator.
For HART 6, analog output mode is a separate menu item (Loop Current Mode). Poll Addresses may be
set from 0 to 63.
The steps in Table 26 show how set the poll address of the transmitter. ST 3000 transmitters are shipped
from the factory with poll address 0.

7 Start-up
Overview
About this section
This section identifies typical start-up tasks associated with several generic pressure measurement
applications. It also includes the procedure for running an optional analog output check.
This section includes these topics.
Performing an analog output check
Start up procedures for the different types of pressure transmitters in various applications, such as
DP transmitter in a flow measurement
DP transmitter in a pressure measurement
DP transmitter in a liquid level measurement applications
GP transmitter in pressure or liquid level measurement applications
AP transmitter in a pressure measurement
DP transmitter with remote diaphragm seals in a liquid level measurement application
ATTENTION
All procedures in this manual assume a transmitter poll address of 0 (zero). See Section 6, for
information about poll address.
Start-up Tasks
About start-up
Once you have installed and configured a transmitter, you are ready to start up the process loop. Start-up
usually includes
Procedure reference
The actual steps in a start-up procedure will vary based on the type of transmitter and the measurement
application. In general, you use the communicator to check the transmitters input and output under static
process conditions, and make adjustments as required, before putting the transmitter into full operation with
the running process.
Choose the applicable procedure to reference in this section from Table 28 based on your type of
transmitter and the measurement application. The reference procedure will give you some idea of the
typical tasks associated with starting up a transmitter in a given application.
* These applications also apply for flange-mounted liquid level type transmitters that are usually
mounted directly to a flange at the zero level of the tank.
** These applications also apply for GP and AP type transmitters equipped with remote seals.
However, you can only confirm that input pressure correlates with transmitter output in processes using
remote seal connections.
ATTENTION
The transmitter does not measure the input or update the output while it is in the constant-
current source mode.
Procedure
The procedure in Table 29 outlines the steps for using a transmitter in the constant current source mode.
Step Action
1 Connect communicator across loop wiring and turn it on. If possible, locate communicator
where you can also view receiver instrument in control loop. If you want to verify loop
calibration, connect a precision milliammeter or voltmeter in loop to compare readings.
Refer to Figure 30 for sample communicator and meter connections in a typical analog loop
with a differential pressure-type transmitter.

(1.0V or 0%).
Press ENTER. The communicator notifies you that the transmitters output is fixed at 4 mA.
4 Check that receiving device indication is at its 0% point. If applicable, check that milliammeter
reading is 4 mA or voltmeter reading is 1.0V.
If indication is inaccurate, check the calibration of receiving device.
Use the transmitter output as a calibration input source for instruments in the loop.
If you want to choose a 20 mA output value, then press OK and go to Step 5.
If you want to choose another output value, then press OK and go to Step 7.
If you have completed the loop test, then press OK and go to Step 8.

8 Operation - Changing Default Failsafe Direction and Write Protect Jumpers
The HART communicator parameter PV AO Alrm Typ identifies the failsafe direction of the transmitter.
The parameter indicates failsafe action as either Hi (upscale) or Lo (downscale).
Procedure
The procedure in outlines the steps for cutting the failsafe jumper and/or repositioning the write protect
jumper on the transmitters Printed Wiring Assembly (PWA). Figure 39 shows the location of the jumpers
on the PWA of ST 3000 Release 300 transmitters.
ESD HAZARD
The nature of the integrated circuitry used in the transmitters PWA makes it susceptible to
damage by stray static discharges when it is removed from the transmitter. Follow these tips to
minimize chances of static electricity damage when handling the PWA.
Never touch terminals, connectors, component leads, or circuits when handling the PWA.
When removing or installing the PWA, hold it by its edges or mounting bracket only. If you
must touch the PWA circuits, be sure you are grounded by staying in contact with a
grounded surface or wearing a grounded wrist strap.
As soon as the PWA is removed from the transmitter, put it in an electrically conductive bag
or wrap it in aluminum foil to protect it.

10 Maintenance - Introduction
10 Maintenance
Introduction
About this section
This section provides information about preventive maintenance routines and replacing damaged parts. The
topics covered in this section are:
Preventive maintenance of the meter body barrier diaphragms and process piping to the transmitter.
Replacement of damaged parts such as the transmitter PWA and meter body.
Preventive Maintenance
Maintenance routines and schedules
The ST 3000 transmitter itself does not require any specific maintenance routine at regularly scheduled
intervals. However, you should consider carrying out these typical inspection and maintenance routines on
a schedule that is dictated by the characteristics of the process medium being measured and whether blow-
down facilities or purge systems are being used.
Check piping for leaks.
Clear the piping of sediment or other foreign matter.
Clean the transmitters pressure chambers including the barrier diaphragms.
Procedure
The procedure in Table 43 outlines the general steps for inspecting and cleaning barrier diaphragms. You
may have to modify the steps to meet your particular process or transmitter model requirements. Figure 42
shows an exploded view of a DP transmitters meter body for reference.

10 Maintenance - Inspecting and Cleaning Barrier Diaphragms
Step Action
1 Close all valves and isolate transmitter from process. Open vent in process head to drain fluid
from transmitters meter body, if required.
ATTENTION
We recommend that you remove the transmitter from service and move it to a clean area
before taking it apart.
2 Remove nuts from bolts that hold process head or heads to meter body. Remove process
heads and bolts. See Figure 41.
3 Remove O-ring and clean interior of process head using soft bristle brush and suitable solvent.
4 Inspect barrier diaphragm for any signs of deterioration or corrosion. Look for possible residue
and clean if necessary.
If diaphragm is dented, has distorted convolutions or radial wrinkles, performance may be
affected. Contact TAC for assistance.
5 Replace O-ring.
ATTENTION
We recommend that you install a new O-ring whenever a process head is removed for
cleaning.

11 Calibration - Introduction
11 Calibration
Introduction
About this section
This section provides information about calibrating the transmitters analog output and measurement range.
It also covers the procedure for resetting calibration to default values as a quick alternative to measurement
range calibration.
This section includes these topics.
How to calibrate the transmitters analog output circuit using the communicator
How to perform a two-point calibration of the transmitter
How to perform a correct reset to return the transmitter calibration to its default values.
Overview
About calibration
The ST 3000 Smart Transmitter does not require recalibration at periodic intervals to maintain accuracy. If
a recalibration is required, we recommend that you do a bench calibration with the transmitter removed
from the process and located in a controlled environment to get the best accuracy.
Before you recalibrate the transmitters measurement range, you must calibrate the transmitters analog
output signal. See Table 47 for procedure.
You can also use the communicator to reset the calibration data to default values, if they are corrupted,
until the transmitter can be recalibrated. See Table 46 in this section for details.
ATTENTION
All procedures in this manual assume a transmitter poll address of 0 (zero). See page 74 for
information about poll address. HART 6 transmitters have a separate menu item for switching
to analog output mode.
Equipment Required
ATTENTION
Depending upon the calibration you choose, you may need any of the following test equipment
to accurately calibrate the transmitter:
Digital voltmeter or milliammeter with 0.02% accuracy or better
February 2012 ST 3000 HART Transmitter Release 300 User Manual 137
11 Calibration - Calibrating Analog Output Signal
ATTENTION
You can calculate milliamperes of current from a voltage measurement by using the following
equation:
voltage
dc milliamps = 1000 x resistance

138 ST 3000 HART Transmitter Release 300 User Manual February 2012
11 Calibration - Calibrating Range
Step Action
Calibrating Range
The ST 3000 Smart Transmitter has two-point calibration. This means when you calibrate two points in the
range, all the points in that range adjust to that calibration.
The procedure in Table 48 and Table 49 shows the steps for calibrating a differential pressure (DP) type
transmitter to a range of 0 to 200 inH2O for example purposes. This procedure assumes that the transmitter
is removed from the process and located in a controlled environment.
ATTENTION
You must have a precision pressure source with an accuracy of 0.02% or better to do a range
calibration. Note that we factory calibrate ST 3000 Smart Transmitters with inches of water
ranges using inches of water pressure referenced to a temperature of 39.2F (4C).
Correct LRV
Step Action
1 Connect power supply and communicator to signal terminals on transmitters terminal block.
Connect precision pressure source to high pressure side of DP type transmitter.

11 Calibration - Resetting Calibration
Resetting Calibration
Background
Every ST 3000 transmitter is factory-characterized. The characterization process calculates a mathematical
model of the performance of the transmitters sensors and stores that data in the transmitters memory.
Small residual errors result from the sensor data acquisition and modeling process. These errors can be
eliminated through calibration, using either a zero offset or a span correction.
A Corrects Reset returns the zero and span calibration factors to their default values. The transmitter
calculates its output based on the characterization equation alone, without any compensation for the
residual errors.
A typical zero offset correction is less than 0.1 inches of water (based on a 400 inH2O range) and a typical
span correction is less than 0.2% regardless of the range of calibration (down to the point where
specification turndown begins). Typical performance of a 400 inH2O transmitter with Corrects Reset can
be expressed as:
Accuracy = 0.2% + (0.1/span) 100%
By calibrating the zero, the typical performance will be 0.2% or better.
For transmitter ranges other than 400, the initial zero offset will be scaled by the ratio of the Upper
Range Limit to 400. For example, for a 100 psi transmitter, the initial zero offset can be expressed by:
0.1 2768/400 = 0.7 or 0.025 psi.
Please note that these are typical values, not hard specifications.

About this section
This section identifies diagnostic messages that may appear in the communicator and describes what they
mean. An interpretation of diagnostic messages is given and suggestions of the possible cause and
corrective action for each message. Procedures are provided for running a status check.
This section includes these topics.
A summary of the different diagnostic message categories that can be displayed by the communicator.
A description of the diagnostic messages and a recommended action to correct the condition or fault.
Troubleshooting Overview
Diagnostics
The communicator and ST 3000 transmitter are constantly running internal diagnostics to monitor the
functions and status of the control loop and their communications link.
When a diagnostic failure is detected, a corresponding message is generated for the communicator display.
Troubleshooting tool
Your primary troubleshooting tool is using the communicator for status messages and then interpreting the
diagnostic messages. You should also use the communicator to verify the transmitters configuration data
and check to be sure that your process is operating correctly.
For more details, refer to Table 52 - Summary of Diagnostic Messages for Info Status and - Diagnostic
Message Interpretation Table.
Select Critical or Non-Critical to view the status of the transmitters diagnostics. Device status
diagnostics are shown as either ON (in alarm) or OFF (no alarm).

Operating Conditions
The LCD will turn black at some temperature between 80 to 90 C (176 and 194 F), rendering the
display unreadable. This effect is only temporary, and normally occurs at 90 C (194 F).
At low temperatures, the update rate of the display is lengthened to 1.5 seconds due to the slower
response time of the display. At -20 C (-4 F) the display becomes unreadable due to slow response
of the LCD. This is also only temporary and normal readability will return when temperature returns
above -20 C (-4 F).
February 2012 ST 3000 HART Transmitter Release 300 User Manual 179
Appendix A Smart Meter Reference - Setting Range Values (Local Zero and Span)
ATTENTION
All procedures in this manual assume a transmitter poll address of 0 (zero). See Section 6, for
information about poll address.
After making any adjustments to the smart meter, keep the transmitter powered for at least 30
seconds so that the new meter configuration is written to non-volatile memory. If power is
turned off before 30 seconds, the changes may not be saved so that when the transmitter
power is restored, the meter configuration will revert to the previous settings.
Table A-4 Setting Range Values Using Local Zero and Span Adjustments
Step Action
1 Turn OFF transmitter power. Loosen end-cap lock and remove end-cap from terminal block
side of electronics housing.
2 Observing polarity, connect a milliammeter across positive (+) and negative () TEST terminals.
ATTENTION
If you have the smart meter with local zero and span adjustment option, you may use the
smart meter in place of the milliammeter.
3 Loosen end-cap lock and remove end-cap from PWA side of electronics housing to expose
local zero and span assembly or smart meter with zero and span adjustments.

Step Action
4 Turn ON transmitter power and let it warm up for a few minutes. Using an accurate pressure
source, apply desired zero equivalent pressure to transmitter.
ATTENTION
For differential pressure transmitters, apply pressure to the high pressure head for positive
range values or vent both heads to atmosphere for zero. If zero is to equal a negative value,
apply the equivalent pressure to the low pressure head. For example, if zero is to equal 10
inH2O, you would apply 10 inH2O to the low pressure head and vent the high pressure head
for the zero adjustment.
ATTENTION
If you have the smart meter with local zero and span adjustment option, you may substitute
the smart meter readings for the milliammeter readings. For example, with zero input pressure
applied assume that the meter reads 4 inH2O instead of 0 inH2O. In this case, the meter
reading is greater than 0 (or 4 mA).
6 d) Press and hold ZERO button on local zero and span assembly or smart meter.
ATTENTION
The smart meter readings revert to the default unit of percent (%) during this operation. If the
error code Er0 appears on the display, you are working with a model STD110 transmitter that
does not support the local zero and span adjustments.
ATTENTION
If milliammeter reading doesnt change, be sure you are not working with a model STD110
transmitter that ignores local adjustments. The smart meter readings return to the set
engineering units after you release the ZERO button.
If zero correction is + or 5% of upper range limit, the CHECK STATUS indicator will be
displayed. If range setting is intentional, disregard status message.
7 Using an accurate pressure source, apply pressure equivalent to desired upper range value to
transmitter.
ATTENTION
For differential pressure transmitters, apply pressure to the high pressure head and be sure
that the low pressure side is vented to atmosphere.
If the applied pressure produces an output of greater than 200%, the meter display will flash
O-L and the 200% value during this interim step.

Appendix A Smart Meter Reference - Setting Range Values (Local Zero and Span)
Step Action
ATTENTION
If you have the smart meter with local zero and span adjustment option, you may substitute
the smart meter readings for the milliammeter readings. For example, with URV input pressure
applied, assume that the meter reads 396 inH2O instead of 400 inH2O. In this case, the
meter reading is less than 100% (or 20 mA).
9 a) Press and hold SPAN button on local zero and span assembly or smart meter.
ATTENTION
The smart meter readings revert to the default unit of percent (%) during this operation. If the
error code Er0 appears on the display, you are working with a model STD110 transmitter that
does not support the local zero and span adjustments.
ATTENTION
If the error code Er4 appears, you are trying to set a SPAN value that is outside acceptable
limits for your transmitter. Readjust applied pressure to be within acceptable range limits and
repeat this procedure. The smart meter display goes blank for a 1/2 second and then returns
reading 100%.
ATTENTION
If milliammeter reading doesnt change, be sure you are not working with a model STD110
transmitter that ignores local adjustments. The smart meter readings return to the set
engineering units after you release the SPAN button.
10 Wait 30 seconds so that changes are copied to the transmitters non-volatile memory.

Additionally, the output conformity setting restricts the setting of the lower and upper display limits to
represent transmitters 0 to 100% output.
If you select pressure type engineering units, you cannot set the lower or upper display limits. These
values are automatically set when you select the engineering units.
You can set only the upper display limit when the transmitter is configured for SQUARE ROOT output
conformity. The lower display limit is fixed at zero (0) for a transmitter in square root mode and
cannot be changed.
You can set both the lower and upper display limits when you have selected custom engineering units
(EUF) and the transmitter output conformity is set to LINEAR.
When setting the lower and upper display limits, if you let either the lower or upper display limit setting
time out (after thirty seconds), the meter will discard the newly set values and will revert to its previous
settings. The meter forces you to set both limits by automatically initiating the next limit setting, either
lower or upper, depending upon which limit you set first.
If you change the transmitters output conformity, you must reconfigure the smart meter as outlined in
Tables A-6, A-7 and A-8 or Table A-9. See also Meter/transmitter interaction in this appendix.

To set the lower and upper display limit values for the meter display perform the procedures in Tables A-7
and A-8. Also note that in each procedure you must:
First set the magnitude range for each display value. This enables the multiplier (K) on the display for
indicating larger ranges (greater than 19999 and shifts the decimal point of the digital display left or
right depending on the precision you want to show for that value).
Next set the display value. This procedure sets the display limit of the meter to represent minimum and
maximum transmitter output (0% and 100 % output).
Note: Magnitude range and display values are set for both upper and lower (if applicable) display limits.
During normal operation the display range of the meter digital readout is 19,990,000 and is automatically
ranged to provide the best precision possible for the digits available up to 1/100th of a unit.
ATTENTION

For example purposes, the procedures in Tables A-7 and A-8 assume that the lower value is
to be set at 0 and the upper value is to be set at 19,990,000 for a CUSTOM unit in a
transmitter with a LINEAR output, and the transmitters present output is exactly 50 percent.

Appendix C Freeze Protection of Transmitters - Possible Solutions/Methods
Problem
When water is present in the process fluid and ambient temperatures can fall below the freezing point
(32F/0C), pressure transmitters and their piping require freeze protection. Transmitters may also require
continuous heating, if the process fluid is tar, wax, or other medium which will solidify at normal ambient.
However, uncontrolled steam or electric heating, in addition to wasting energy, can cause errors and
accidentally destroy the transmitter.
Possible Solutions/Methods
Solution
These two basic solutions are possible:
Eliminate the need for heating the transmitter by keeping the freezable process fluid out of direct contact
with transmitter.
Control the steam or electric heat to prevent overheating on warm days while protecting against freeze-ups
under the coldest conditions.
The following paragraphs in this appendix describe a number of methods for implementing both solutions.
WARNING
The user must verify the compatibility of any sealing liquid with their process fluid.
A reliable sealing liquid is a 50/50 percent (by volume) solution of ethylene-glycol and water. This solution
has a specific gravity of 1.070 at 60F (15C), a freezing temperature of 34F (36C), and a boiling
temperature of +225F (+106C) at atmospheric pressure. Conventional antifreeze liquids for automobile
coolant systems such as Prestone and
Zerex are solutions of ethylene-glycol with some rust inhibitors and possibly leak sealants added; they may
be used in place of pure ethylene-glycol.
Another sealing liquid, used in many chemical plants, is dibutylphalate an oily-type liquid with a specific
gravity of 1.045 at 70F (21C). It has a boiling point 645F (340C) and does not freeze so it can be used
down to about 20F (30C).
Figures C-1 and C-2 show typical piping installations for this method. The process fluid must be heated
above its freezing point. This is frequently done by lagging in (insulating) the connecting nipple, shut-off
valve and T connector with the process piping. Where the process piping itself requires heating, a steam
or electric trace is run around their components with consideration given to the boiling point of the sealing
liquid.

specific gravity.

Appendix C Freeze Protection of Transmitters - Possible Solutions/Methods
Purging
Purging air or water purges are commonly used to prevent viscous materials from clogging the impulse
lines to pressure, level, or flow transmitters. The bubbler system, using a constant-air flow regulator, is
particularly common on open tank liquid level applications. No heating of impulse lines or transmitter is
required, but normal precautions are required to keep water out of the air supply system.
Gas applications
We must not overlook the possibility of condensate freezing in impulse lines to transmitters measuring gas
flow or pressure. Although these components could be heated similar to water and steam applications, the
simplest and best approach is to install transmitters so that they are self draining. This means that the
impulse lines are connected to the lowest point in the transmitter meter body and the piping is sloped
downward at least one inch per foot. (Side-connected transmitters with vent-drains at a lower point in the
meter body must be regularly checked to assure condensate removal.) If the transmitter is located below the
process taps (not recommended), piping must still run downward from the transmitter to the drain point and
then up to the process as shown in Figure C-3. Steam or electric heating of the drain point will prevent
pipe rupture due to freezing.

lines. Use a tank-mounted flanged seal in such installations. Otherwise, it is more desirable to keep the
capillary lengths short, the transmitter accessible for maintenance, and (for flow applications) the normal 3-
valve manifold assembly close to the transmitter for normal service checks. Thus, the impulse lines,
valving and diaphragm seals with 1/2-inch connections would be electrically or steam traced, with high
temperature steam permitted without damage to the transmitter. Figures C-4 and C-5 show typical piping
layouts.

Appendix C Freeze Protection of Transmitters - Possible Solutions/Methods
Electric heating
Most transmitters will withstand higher temperatures at their process interfaces (bodies) than at their
electronics. Normally, it is impractical to heat transmitter bodies above 225 to 250F (107 to 121C)
without radiant and conducted heat exceeding the rating at the electronics (normally 200F/93C).
Prefabricated insulated enclosures with integral heating coils and thermostats set at 200F (93C) can
assure viscosity of fluids which freeze below 180F (82C) while assuring safe transmitter operation. For
water or similar lower-temperature mediums, the control can be set at 50F (10C) to save energy and call
for heat only when temperature and wind conditions require.
Systems can be engineered for uncontrolled, continuous electric heating to prevent water freezing at 0F (
18C) and 20 mph wind velocity, while not exceeding 225F (107C) at the transmitter body at 90F
(32C) ambient and zero wind velocity. The operating costs in energy for these systems usually exceed the
high initial cost of the thermostat systems. Never attempt to maintain freeze points above 100F (38C)
without thermostat controls since the Btu required to prevent freezing will normally exceed the body
temperature rating under opposite extremes.
Although systems are available with hollow bolts replacing the normal transmitter body bolts and
containing electrical heating elements and thermostats, certain precautions are required with such
arrangements. Some transmitter meter body bolts are too small to accept the available thermostats. Also
thermostat settings should not approach the body temperature limit because the heat gradient across the
meter body can be such that limits are exceeded adjacent to the heating elements even when the thermostat
setting is lower.
Electrical heating systems are available in explosionproof ratings for Class I, Group D, Division I and II
installations.
The possibility of electric supply failure must be considered. For this reason, we recommend using alarm
devices with manual acknowledgment and reset. Figures C-6 and C-7 show typical piping installations.

Steam heating
Steam heating is perhaps the most common, yet potentially the most damaging method of protecting
transmitters from freeze-ups. Since steam is generated for use in the overall process operation, it is
considered an available by-product. The most important point to remember when steam heating transmitter
meter bodies is the temperature of the steam that will be used and its pressure. We recommend that you
review the next paragraph Superheated steam considerations to get a better understanding of the
temperature problem with steam heating. In brief, do not assume that 30 psig steam is 274F (134C) and
cannot damage a transmitter rated for 250F (121C). With steam heating, as with electrical, you should
use insulated transmitter body housing, impulse piping and valves.
It is common practice to use conventional steam traps on all steam heating systems. They permit live,
superheated steam to enter the heating coils and piping down to the trap. You should also use conventional
steam traps with lower pressure desuperheated steam which cannot overheat the transmitter under warm-
day conditions. If the heating pipes are not carefully installed to eliminate low spots and trapped condensate
in the piping, they could freeze at low temperatures.
All steam traps require a periodic maintenance program. Dirt, scale, and water softeners will cause traps to
stick or jam which result in their either blowing steam continuously or not blowing steam, allowing
condensate freeze-up in cold weather. When steam traps are used for cold-weather freeze protection of
water lines, a thermostat controlled steam supply valve, which will shut off the steam at ambient
temperatures higher than 50F (10C), will save steam and prevent overheating.
A more general solution is offered by a specialized type of trap which throttles condensate flow based on
its temperature. This backs up hot water in the radiator within the insulated transmitter enclosure, assuring
temperatures no higher than the saturated steam at the reduced pressure. Models are available to set the
condensate temperature from about 70 to 200F (21 to 93C). They must be located within 6 to 12 inches
210 ST 3000 HART Transmitter Release 300 User Manual February 2012
Appendix C Freeze Protection of Transmitters - Possible Solutions/Methods
(15 to 30 cm) of the transmitter body and, like all steam traps, they also require periodic maintenance. The
engineering of this type system is more complex than electric systems since the amount of heat loss
upstream of the CTV valve under varying conditions will determine the location of the steam/water
interface. It could occur within the heater coil or further up the steam line, thus affecting the heating
efficiency within the insulated enclosure. Therefore, steam control of materials which freeze or become too
viscous above 100F (38C) should probably not be attempted without some experimenting with the
specific piping layout used.
Uncontrolled steam heating, even with the best pressure regulation and desuperheating of steam, should not
be used to maintain transmitter temperatures above 100F (38C), since this type of fixed Btu input must
either over or under-heat under normal ambient swings.
As with electric heating, there are many types of commercial steam heating units available such as radiant
heaters, hollow meter body studs or just tubing lagged to the impulse piping and transmitter body. The
same precaution applies to the use of hollow studs as on the electrical versions.
Figures C-8 and C-9 show typical piping installations. Table C-1 summarizes the temperature ranges for
the various freeze protection systems.

Appendix D Hazardous Area Classifications - Introduction
Introduction
Reference information
Information is provided to clarify the Hazardous Location installation requirements in North America and
internationally. An explanation of the applicable enclosure classification systems is also provided.
Classes
Hazardous (classified) locations, in both the United States and Canada, are categorized into one of three
classes:
Class I - Presence of flammable gases or vapors may be present in quantities sufficient to produce
explosive or ignitable mixtures
Class II - Presence of combustible dusts, powders or grains
Class III - Presence of easily ignitable fibers or flyings
Divisions
The classes listed above are further categorized based upon the level of risk present:
Division 1 - Locations in which hazardous concentrations of flammable gases or vapors - or combustible
dust in suspension are continuously, intermittently or periodically present under normal
operating conditions.
Division 2 - Locations in which flammable gases or vapors are present, but normally confined within
closed containers or systems from which they can escape only under abnormal or fault
conditions. Combustible dusts are not normally in suspension nor likely to be thrown into
suspension.
Examples
Given the criteria above, the following examples are made:
Class III, Division 1 - A class III, Division 1 location is a location in which easily ignitable fibers or
material processing combustible flyings are handled, manufactured or used.
Class III, Division 2 - A Class III, Division 2 location is a location in which easily ignitable fibers are
stored or handled.

Entity concept
Under entity requirements, the concept allows interconnection of intrinsically safe apparatus to associated
apparatus, not specifically examined in such combination. The criteria for interconnection is that the
voltage (Vmax) and current (Imax), which intrinsically safe apparatus can receive and remain intrinsically
safe, considering faults, must be equal to or greater than the voltage (Voc or Vt) and current (Isc or It)
levels which can be delivered by the associated apparatus, considering faults and applicable factors. In
addition, the maximum unprotected capacitance (Ci) and inductance (Li) of the intrinsically safe apparatus,
including interconnecting wiring, must be less than or equal to the capacitance (Ca) and inductance (La)
which can be safely connected to the associated apparatus. If these criteria are met, then the combination
may be connected and remain intrinsically safe. Both FMRC and CSA define the entity parameters as
listed in Tables D-2, D-3 and D-4 below:

Zones
Defined within IEC 7-10, Hazardous locations are categorized into three zones:
Zone 0 - Explosive gas atmosphere is present continuously, or is present for long periods.
Zone 1 - Explosive gas atmosphere is likely to occur in normal operation.
Zone 2 - Explosive gas atmosphere is not likely to occur in normal operation and, if it does occur, it
will exist for a short period only.
Groups
Flammable gases, vapors and mists are classified into groups according to the energy required to ignite the
most easily ignitable mixture within air. Apparatus is grouped according to the atmospheres it may be used
within as follows:
Group IIC - Atmospheres containing acetylene, hydrogen, fuel and combustible process gases or vapors

Temperature classification
Equipment intended for installation directly within the hazardous location must also be classified for the
maximum surface temperature that can be generated under normal or fault conditions as referenced to the
maximum operating ambient of the equipment. The maximum surface temperature must be less than the
minimum autoignition temperature of the hazardous atmosphere present. The temperature shall be
indicated in identification numbers as listed in Table D-3.

Enclosure Ratings
NEMA and IEC Recognition
The NEMA (National Electrical Manufacturers Association) enclosure classifications are recognized in the
US. The IEC Publication 529 Classifications are recognized throughout Europe and those parts of the
world that use the IEC standards as a basis for product certifications. The following paragraphs provide a
discussion of the comparison between NEMA enclosure type numbers and IEC enclosure classification
designations.
IEC Classifications
IEC Publication 529, Classification of Degrees of Protection Provided by Enclosures, provides a system
for specifying the enclosures of electrical equipment on the basis of the degree of protection provided by
the enclosure. IEC 529 does not specify degrees of protection against mechanical damage of equipment,
risk of explosion, or conditions such as moisture (produced for example by condensation), corrosive
vapors, fungus, or vermin.
IEC Designations
Basically, the IEC designation consists of the letters IP followed by two numerals. The first characteristic
numeral indicates the degree of protection provided by the enclosure with respect to persons and solid
foreign objects entering the enclosure. The second characteristic numeral indicates the degree of protection
provided by the enclosure with respect to the harmful ingress of water.
NEMA Standards
NEMA Standards Publication 250, Enclosures for Electrical Equipment (1000 Volts Maximum), does test
for environmental conditions such as corrosion, rust, icing, oil, and coolants. For this reason, and because
the tests and evaluations for other characteristics are not identical, the IEC enclosure classification
designations cannot be exactly equated with NEMA enclosure type numbers.
Table D-4 provides an approximate conversion from NEMA enclosure type numbers to IEC enclosure
classification designations. The NEMA types meet or exceed the test requirements for the associated IEC
classifications; for this reason the Table cannot be used to convert from IEC classifications to NEMA
types.

ST 3000, Smart Pressure Transmitters
The ST 3000, Series 100, 100e, 600, and 900, Smart Pressure Transmitters are CSA certified as Dual
Seal devices in accordance with ANSI/ISA12.27.012003, Requirements for Process Sealing between
Electrical Systems and Flammable or Combustible Process Fluids.
Accordingly, the ST 3000, Series 100, 100e, 600, and 900, Smart Pressure Transmitters comply with the
sealing requirements of NEC Chapter 5. Special Occupancies, Article 500 Hazardous (Classified)

Pumps, Process, or Service Connections, and So Forth., and the Canadian Electrical Code rules 18-092, 18-
108, 18-158, J18-108 and J18-158.
Annunciation of a primary seal failure per ANSI/ISA12.27.01 is electronic and is displayed in various
forms based on the type of communication used for the particular transmitter. Failure of the primary seal is
considered a Critical Failure. Based on testing annunciation of primary seal failure will occur in 7 hours or
less.
The transmitters 4-20 mA output will be driven to the selected failsafe direction upscale or downscale.
The transmitters digital output (DE, HART, Fieldbus) will display any of the following responses which
could indicate a primary seal failure as well as other meter body faults.
