Section 2 - Theory of Operation and Description
The Anderson - Negele L3 Pressure / Level transmitter may be used in applications where an analog
output proportional to process pressure, hydrostatic head, or the volume or mass of a vessel’s contents
is needed for process or inventory control . This unit utilizes an internal piezoelectric transducer and an
RTD temperature element to measure the pressure and temperature of the internal actuating uid. The
mV signal of the transducer and resistance of the RTD are measured and converted to a compensated
pressure value by way of the signal acquisition board in the stem. This signal is digitally communicated
to the head where the signal is converted to industry standard 4...20mA and Hart 7.0 signals. For relative
sensors the back of the diaphragm is vented and the output is relative to the atmospheric conditions. In
the case of the absolute sensors the measurement is relative to a theoretical perfect vacuum therefore
the signal will vary with atmospheric conditions.
The integral display and four button interface shows the process variable, a graphical representation of
the output and allows reconguration of the unit including the conguration of tank geometry and product
density. All parameters may also be accessed through Hart communication.
The L3 Pressure / Level transmitter was designed specically for liquid measurement applications in the
food and beverage industry where accuracy in dynamic temperature environments is critical to process
control. The measurement cell is integral to a welded sanitary diaphragm seal that is available in a
variety of industry standard tting styles and sizes. The process pressure deects the metal diaphragm,
transmitting the pressure to a transducer cell.
Section 3 - Installation
The physical installation is of the upmost importance with regard to sensor reliability. Transmitters must
be installed in such a way that the device and cable are not subject to physical abuse. Additionally,
moisture and or moist air must not be allowed to enter the sensor housing or cable.
NOTE: The installer assumes responsibility for preventing water or water-vapor from entering the sensor
housing by proper installation of the cap and appropriate cable preparation. Units equipped with M12
Quick Disconnects are rated to NEMA 4X and IP69X. Cable gland equipped units are rated to NEMA 4X
and IP67.
To facilitate electrical connections, your new L3 transmitter may be supplied with a 5pin M12 quick
disconnect receptacle, an M16 cable gland, or a ½” NPTF threaded adaptor. If mounted horizontally,
the cable connection should point downward. Also, to prevent entry of excessive moisture, it is highly
recommended that conduits not be connected directly to the sensor. If conduit is to be run to the sensor,
it is preferable that the watertight connector provided with each sensor not be removed from the sensor.
Instead, run the exible conduit as near to the sensor as possible and utilize a seal-tight connector at the
end of the conduit. Allow a short amount of cable to run between the sensor and the exible conduit. This
isolates the sensor housing from the conduit system and any moisture it may contain. If the conduit is
connected directly to the sensor, the chances are high that the sensor will eventually fail due to excessive
water or water vapor entry into the housing.
NOTE: It is recommended that a sensor “Re-ZERO” be performed at time of installation. Refer to section
7.10, page XX for information on this procedure.
NOTE: It is recommended that a mA calibration be performed after installing a transmitter in a loop for
the rst time. Refer to section 7.9
Page 9
Section 4 - Sensor Wiring
WIRING TERMINAL CONNECTIONS
WARNING! This unit accepts DC voltage only, connection to AC voltage can cause failure of the sensor
and/or risk of electrocution
For wet environments requiring IP67 or greater environmental protection Anderson – Negele strongly
recommends using the available shielded molded cord-sets utilizing the 5 pin M12 eurofast quick
disconnect.
Anderson - Negele supplied cable meets all requirements for shielding and compatibility with the L3 quick
disconnect receptacle. Anderson - Negele recommends a cable of 24 gauge, 4 conductor, shielded (Belden
#9534) or equivalent. Four conductor cable is utilized because of its roundness as well as providing
connections for the normally closed relay. A round cable provides a suitable seal when used with seal-tight
connectors, strain reliefs and rubber grommets. Irregular shaped cable does not allow for a watertight seal.
If utilizing customer supplied cable, select a round cable with 22-24 AWG wire and a shield. In order for the
Anderson provided seal-tight connector to seal on the cable, the O.D. of the cable must be between 3/16” and
1/4”. If smaller cable is utilized, a dierent neoprene bushing must be used (must be customer supplied).
If an alternate seal-tight type connector is going to be used, be absolutely certain that the rubber bushing will
adequately seal on the cable. Do not use a connector intended for power cable (large inside diameter) if the
sensor cable is only 1/4”. Be sure to use Teon thread tape when attaching the new seal-tight connector.

4.2 Direct Wiring
Direct wiring to the L3 transmitter is accomplished as follows:
1. Remove the housing cap and lift the hinged display lid by the pull tab to expose the terminals.
2. Insert the cable through the seal-tight connector, stripping back approximately 2 inches of sheathing
to expose the wires.
3. Two wires will be utilized for the loop connection and two will be used to connect the normally closed
contact. Normal color codes being RED (Loop +) and BLACK (Loop -); Green (switch side 1) and
White (switch side 2). Trim o all unused wires, including the bare shield ground wire.
To prevent a GROUND LOOP condition, be sure the shield material and the shield ground wire
do not touch the sensor housing. Use an insulator such as electrical tape or heat shrink tubing if
necessary.
4. Strip the tips of the remaining wires back approximately 3/8 of an inch and twist strands (tinning is
highly recommended).
5. Using Figure 2, make the proper connections to the wiring connector (located inside the housing)

PAGE 15
7.2 - Units
There are three units which may be chosen for the transmitter.
• PV – represents the units of the primary variable to be transmitted. This may be pressure, volume,
mass, or height
• Dimension – represents linear measurement units to be used when describing tank dimensions and
may be chosen in Inches or meters
• Density – represents the density or specic gravity units products will be described with.
7.2.1 Units Configuration for Pressure Output
If the transmitter is to be used as a pressure measurement device or as a hydrostatic level measurement
device with the following units of output this menu should be used: PSI, Bar, in of H2O, mm of H2O, mm
of HG, mBar, or kPA
If Pressure units will be used, dimension and density units do not need to be chosen as tank and product
congurations are not required.
T
Once the desired units are highlighted pressing the “M” button will store the selection and move up one
level in the menu. Once units are changed all unit dependent menus will change to those units. For
example: range, alarms, etc
Page 16
PAGE 16
7.2.2 Units Configuration for Volume, Mass, and Height Outputs.
Units of height, (inches and mm) will scale relative to uid level compensated for density. Units of
volume and mass (KG, LB, Gallon, Liter, HectoLiter, PCT vol) will output linearly with respect to those
variables compensating for nonlinear portions of a vessel. The display will show the volume or mass
located below the bottom of the sensor when no product is present and will respond after product covers
the sensor diaphragm. Hectoliter option is available only on rmware revision L3H.01.06.0 and later.
To congure a unit for volume, mass or height outputs the following actions must be taken.
1. Choose the dimension units as shown:
2. Select the density units as shown:
*note SG refers to specic gravity
3. Complete the tank conguration as shown in section 7.4
4. Complete the product conguration as shown in Section 7.5
5. Return to the Units menu to congure the primary variable (PV) units as shown:
*Once a tank is selected and density is entered the full list of units is available
Once the desired units are highlighted pressing the “M” button will store the selection and move up
one level in the menu. Once units are changed all unit dependent menus will change to those units.
For example: range, alarms, etc Units of height, (inches and mm) will scale relative to uid level
compensated for density. Units of volume and mass (KG, LB, Gallon, Liter, PCT vol) will output linearly
with respect to those variables compensating for nonlinear portions of a vessel. The display will show
the volume or mass located below the bottom of the sensor when no product is present and will respond
after product covers the sensor diaphragm.
Page 17
7.3 - Range
The Lower Range Value (LRV) and Upper Range Value (URV) may be chosen when the sensor is used
with pressure units. When height, volume, or mass units are used the LRV and URV are calculated
automatically but may be viewed to aid in PLC programming. The L3 is also capable of setting the span
based on the pressure applied to it (autospan).
7.3.1 Configuring Range for Pressure Ouput
The menu below shows adjustment of the LRV and URV for pressure output ranges. It should be noted
that the PV units should be set to the desired units before performing this action.
When the LRV or URV is displayed the Up and Down arrows may be used to adjust the value as desired.
The LRV may be set from vacuum to 0 for gauge sensors, except 5 PSI sensors which are adjustable
from -5 PSI to 0 (the LRV is not adjustable for absolute sensors).
The URV may be set from 10% of the sensor limit up to the sensor limit.
PAGE 17
7.3.2 Viewing Range for Volume, Mass, and Height Outputs
When in volumetric, mass, or height units the LRV and URV are calculated automatically based on the
tank dimensions and product density. The calculated values may be viewed as follows:
7.3.3 Using the Autospan Feature
The autospan feature may be used to set the URV based on the pressure on the sensor. This can only
be done when pressure is present or a vessel is lled to the desired upper limit. Autospan can only be
used with pressure units.

7.4.5 – Custom Tanks
If the desired tank geometry is not available or tank drawings or dimensions are not available a wet
calibration may be done to congure a custom tank. Please note this procedure requires a reference
ow meter and must be done sequentially while lling the vessel*. The user must decide the number of
points required and then pump the amount of process uid into the vessel and assign that value. The
process is a guided as shown below:
* Ensure product cong is set to
product being used for calibration.
i.e. Water, Skim Milk, etc.
The up and down buttons may be used to select the number of points and the volume or mass present in
the vessel.
Page 21
7.5 – Product Configuration
Use of height, volume or mass units requires the selection of a product density. For the convenience of
the user 10 common products are pre-loaded on the device and an additional 5 custom products may be
stored at a time. When a new product is put in a tank it is important to change the product conguration
to avoid errors in output due to changes in density.
7.5.1 Selection of Pre-loaded Products
Pre-loaded products may be chosen from the product conguration menu as shown:
PAGE 21
10 products come pre-loaded with densities in the units chosen. Adjustments can be made with the up
and down buttons when the value is shown.
7.5.2 Configuration of Custom Products
If the customers product is not preloaded it may be programmed as one of the available 5 custom
products. Once congured with a name and density value the custom product may be highlighted to
select for use.
Up and down arrows increment characters and value. E moves to the next character and Long Hold E
moves to the Value. Alpha numeric values and symbols may be used in the name.
Page 22
PAGE 22
7.6 – Alarm Configuration
The L3 has two available alarm congurations. Each alarm may be set up as follows. Alarms 1 and 2
have identical conguration menus. When enabled, if the alarm is activated the backlight of the display
will blink to notify the operator. The blinking feature can be disabled through the menu option. Also, alarm
activation can be delayed until process pressure/level is above/below setpoint for set period of time.
Alarm Flash and Alarm Delay options are available only on rmware revision L3H.01.06.0 and later.
7.7 – Switch Output Configuration
The L3 transmitter is equipped with a normally open 50mA fused contact which can be used to switch
a small load or provide a digital output when one side is provided with DC voltage. The switch may be
assigned to alarm 1, alarm 2, or may actuate when a warning or error message is displayed.
Page 23
7.8 – Dampening
The analog output can be digitally dampened to decrease the magnitude of large process uctuations
with a high frequency. The dampening value should be raised when the output is showing high
frequency high magnitude uctuations. The dampening factor can be adjusted from 0-10.
7.9 – mA Configuration
The mA conguration menu contains options to adjust the loop output to match the control system
reading the signal, adjust the failure mode, and change the loop direction.
7.9.1 – mA Calibration
When a transmitter is added to a system for the rst time a mA calibration should be performed to ensure
the sensor’s 4mA and 20mA points align with the control system in which it is installed. Because input
cards are variable this will provide the best results and avoid programming an oset in the PLC.
The mA calibration requires the device to be installed in a control loop where the mA value may be read
by observed by the operator and the display may also be accessed.
PAGE 23
7.9.2 – Failure Mode Selection
The L3 may be set to fail low (3.8mA output) or fail high (20.2mA output) when a valid process variable
cannot be output.
Page 24
PAGE 24
7.9.3 – Loop Direction
The loop direction may be reversed (20mA -4mA). This is accomplished as follows:
7.10 – Re-zero
The L3 transmitter is sensitive to both orientation and clamping forces during installation. It is important
to re-zero the sensor after it has been installed. Additionally, if the diaphragm is dented or goes through
a period of stress such as being steamed for the rst time, it is important to zero the sensor.
7.11 – Factory Reset
If at any time the owner decides to go back to factory default settings there is an option to return the
sensor and transmitter to their defaults separately.
7.11.1 – Sensor Reset (Stem)
When the sensor is reset it restores all factory default calibration information including any user osets
7.11.2 – Transmitter Reset (Puck)
The transmitter may be restored to factory defaults as well. This will reset all ranges, alarms, tank, and
product data.
Page 25
7.12 – Device Information

Section 9 - Maintenance/Diagnostics
Warning! Do not remove this sensor from the process while it is operating. Removal while the process
is operating can contaminate the process and could cause human injury.
Warning: Before removing for service or calibration, ensure that residual product has been ushed from
the line and that internal pressure has returned to atmospheric pressure.
Anderson electronic sensors require very little maintenance, if any. We suggest that the sensor be
inspected at 6 month intervals to ensure that they are not being subjected to physically abuse, moisture
entering the housing, and that the wiring is sound.
Caution: Do not open the sensor enclosure in wet or spray-down environments. Moisture ingression can
cause premature electronics failure.
External cleaning instructions: The external surfaces of this sensor can be cleaned along with the
equipment or piping system that it is installed on, using cleaning and disinfecting solutions designed for
use on hygienic equipment.

The L3 is equipped with diagnostic routines that monitor the sensor’s function. Should an error occur
the diagnostic display will ash an error code and the output will go to the failure state specied by the
user. Errors may be caused by a number of reasons ranging from failed electronic components to user
conguration errors. The code appendix below indicates possible codes with actions that should be taken
to correct the problem. Error codes may be cleared to facilitate subsequent menu changes, however the
output will remain at the specied failure state until error is addressed and the unit repowered. Always
record the error code before attempting to clear it.
The display code may be erased as follows:
• From home screen press down and hold for several seconds. Some error codes will not erase until
problem is resolved – Sensor displays current process value.
• Power cycle by removing power for 10 seconds then reattach power.
Caution: Improper replacement of components during service can result in process leakage, reduced
pressure rating, system cleanability issues, incorrect output signal, or error code(s).
