FIELDVUE Digital Level
Instruments
FIELDVUE DLC3010 digital level controllers (figures 1
and 3) are loop‐powered instruments. In conjunction
with a 249 sensor, they measure changes in liquid
level, the level of an interface between two liquids, or
liquid specific gravity (density). The DLC3020f is a
fieldbus‐powered instrument that measures liquid
level or interface between two liquids. A level, density,
or interface level change in the measured fluid causes
a change in the displacer position.
This change is transferred to the torque tube assembly
and to the digital level controller lever assembly. The
rotary motion moves a magnet attached to the lever
assembly, changing the magnetic field that is sensed
by the Hall‐effect sensor. In the DLC3010, the sensor
converts the magnetic field signal to a varying
electronic signal, which is converted to a 4‐20 mA
output signal. In the DLC3020f, the sensor converts
the changing magnetic field to a digital signal, which is
ambient temperature compensated, linearized, and
sent to the electronics assembly.
Standard or Custom Configuration... the DLC3010
digital level controller in combination with a 249W
sensor enables users to install digital level transmitters
to a variety of industry standard or custom process
vessel connections. The sensor consists of a wafer
body, torque tube assembly and displacer and is rated
for CL150, 300, and 600. The wafer body mounts
between NPS 3 or 4 raised face flanges. Custom
configurations are also available to meet your specific
application requirements. Refer to the
DLC3010/DLC3020f specifications in tables 1, 2, 3, and
9, and the 249 specifications in tables 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and
9 for product line capabilities and options.

Simplified Setup and Calibration... With the electronic
Device Setup, digital level controller startup is
straightforward and fast. Level and temperature
alarms, specific gravity tables, calibration trim, and
trending are readily configurable. DLC3010/DLC3020f
digital level controllers also support re‐ranging
without a fluid reference.
Responsive to Small Process Change... Accurate,
high‐gain analog‐to‐digital conversion enables
measurement of small changes in the process variable.
In addition, an input filter and output damping may be
adjusted by the user to attenuate noise from
mechanical disturbance or liquid turbulence at the
displacer.
Easy Maintenance... Field wiring connections are in a
compartment separated from the electronics. This
helps to protect the electronics from any moisture
brought into the housing by the field wiring. This also
eases installation and maintenance. The digital level
controller does not have to be removed to facilitate
troubleshooting or service. However, if it is necessary
to remove the digital level controller for in‐shop
maintenance and calibration, field wiring does not
need to be disconnected.

1. At full design span, reference conditions.
2. To lever assembly rotation inputs.
3. The torque tube and the displacer must be properly sized for the application in order for 0 to 100% of displacer length to be available.
4. With a nominal 4.4 degrees torque tube shaft rotation for a 0 to 100 percent change in liquid level (specific gravity=1), the digital level controller can be adjusted to provide full output for an
input range of 5% of nominal input span. This equates to a minimum differential specific gravity of 0.05 with standard volume displacers. Operating at 5% proportional band will degrade
accuracy by a factor of 20. Using a thin wall torque tube, or doubling the displacer volume will each roughly double the effective proportional band. When proportional band of the system
drops below 50%, changing displacer or torque tube should be considered if high accuracy is a requirement.

Figure 4. Fisher 2100E Electric Liquid Level Switch
Typically, 2100E and 2100 switches electrically or
pneumatically operate safety shutdown systems for
field processing equipment in oil and gas industry
applications
Switch construction comes in a left‐hand as well as a
right‐hand mounting version. The explosion‐proof,
hermetically sealed 2100E switch is offered as both a
factory mounting and as an electric switch retrofit to
the proven 2100 switch.
With the 2100E switch rising liquid level exerts a
buoyant force on the torque tube that either activates
or deactivates an electrical SPDT or DPDT switch
depending on the switching action desired. Falling
liquid level deactivates or activates the same switch
depending on the action desired.
When the 2100 switch is in the normal position with
the flapper against the nozzle, output pressure cannot
bleed off and remains the same as full supply pressure.
Rising liquid level exerts a buoyant force on the
displacer, producing a torque on the torque tube.
When the torque transmitted by the torque tube
exceeds the torque exerted on the flapper by the
magnet, the flapper snaps away from the nozzle,
allowing output pressure to bleed through the nozzle
faster than supply pressure can enter through the
bleed orifice. The reduced pressure in the output
signal line activates the shutdown or alarm system.
When the liquid level lowers, the falling displacer
forces the flapper into the field of the magnet, letting
the magnet snap the flapper against the nozzle and
causing output pressure to build to full supply
pressure.
