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 reconguration of the unit including the conguration of tank geometry and product density. All parameters may also be accessed through Hart communication.
The L3 Pressure / Level transmitter was designed specically 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 deects 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

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 di󰀨erent 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 Teon 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)

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 congure 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 specic gravity
3. Complete the tank conguration as shown in section 7.4

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 congure 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 cong 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 conguration 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 conguration 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 congured 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.

7.6 – Alarm Configuration
The L3 has two available alarm congurations. Each alarm may be set up as follows. Alarms 1 and 2 have identical conguration 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.

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 conguration 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 o󰀨set 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.

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
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 o󰀨sets
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.

Section 8 - HART Communicator Connection & DD (Device Descriptor) Menu Structure
L3 transmitters can be equipped with an optional HART output protocol and may be addressed via an external HART modem or alternatively via a portable HART communicator (HHT) compatible with HART
7.0.
8.1 Attaching HART Communicator
1. Power the L3 Transmitter. The signal loop must have at least 250ohms resistance for HHT function
2. Connect the HHT across the transmitter terminals or the resister loop
3. Turn on the HHT, wait until communications are established and the Home Menu is displayed
8.2 HART DD Menu Structure
All L3 functions as well as standard HART setup detail may be addressed via the HART DD menu. See following Menu DD for specic required paths.

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.
PAGE 29
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 specied by the
user. Errors may be caused by a number of reasons ranging from failed electronic components to user
conguration 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 specied 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).
