• Operating via the remote display and operating module DKX001 (→ 20) or the
local display and operating module at the device are equivalent.
• The measured value is indicated on the DKX001 and on the local display and
operating module simulataneously.
• The operating menu cannot be accessed on both modules at the same time. If the
operating menu is entered in one of these modules, the other module is
automatically locked. This locking remains active until the menu is closed in the
first module (back to measured value display).
7.3.1 Display and operating elements
The device has an illuminated liquid crystal display (LCD) that shows measured and
calculated values as well as the device status in the standard view. Other views are used to
navigate through the operating menu and to set parameter values.
The device is operated by three optical keys, namely "-", "+" and "E". They are actuated when
the appropriate field on the protective glass of the front is touched with the finger ("touch
control").

Defining the type of measured value
This setting can be skipped for a connected Prothermo NMT5xx as the type of
measured value is automatically recognized by the Micropilot NMR8x in this case.
• The measured values can only be used in the system if the unit of the assigned
HART variable fits the type of measured value. The HART variable assigned to
Output temperature, for example, has to be in °C or °F.
• A HART variable with unit "%" can not be used for Output level. Instead, the HART
variable must be in mm, m, ft or in.
The type of measured value must be specified for each HART variable (PV, SV, TV and QV).
To do so, proceed as follows:
1.Navigate to: Setup → Advanced setup → Input/output → HART devices
There is a submenu for each connected HART device.
2.For each device go to the corresponding submenu.
3.If the device measures a pressure:
Go to the Output pressure parameter (→ 132) and specify which of the four
HART variables contains the measured pressure. Only a HART variable with a
pressure unit may be selected.
4.If the device measures a density:
Go to the Output density parameter (→ 133) and specify which of the four HART
variables contains the measured density. Only a HART variable with a density unit
may be selected.
5.If the device measures a temperature:
Go to the Output temperature parameter (→ 133) and specify which of the four
HART variables contains the measured temperature. Only a HART variable with a
temperature unit may be selected.
6.If the device measures the vapor temperature:
Go to the Output vapor temperature parameter (→ 134) and specify which of
the four HART variables contains the measured vapor temperature. Only a HART
variable with a temperature unit may be selected.
7.If the device measures a level:
Go to the Output level parameter (→ 134) and specify which of the four HART
variables contains the measured level. Only a HART variable with a level unit (not "%")
may be selected.
Disconnecting HART devices
When a HART device is disconnected from the device, it must also be logically removed as

9.4.8 Tank calculation: Hybrid tank measurement system (HTMS)
HTMS uses level and pressure measurements to calculate the density of the medium.
In non-atmospheric (i.e. pressurized) tanks it is recommended to use the HTMSP1+P3 mode. Two pressure sensors are required in this case. In atmospheric (i.e.
unpressurized) tanks the HTMS P1 with only one pressure sensor is sufficient.

9.4.9 Tank calculation: Hydrostatic Tank Deformation (HyTD)
Hydrostatic Tank Deformation can be used to compensate the vertical movement of the
Gauge Reference Height (GRH) due to bulging of the tank shell caused by the hydrostatic
pressure exerted by the liquid stored in the tank. The compensation is based on a linear
approximation obtained from manual hand dips at several levels divided over the full
range of the tank.

9.4.10 Tank calculation: Thermal tank shell correction (CTSh)
CTSh (correction for the thermal expansion of the tank shell) compensates for effects on
the Gauge Reference Height (GRH) and on the expansion or contraction of the measuring
wire due to temperature effects on the tank shell or stilling well. The temperature effects
are separated into two parts, respectively affecting the 'dry' and 'wetted' part of the tank
shell or stilling well. The correction function is based on thermal expansion coefficients of
steel and insulation factors for both the 'dry' and 'wet' parts of the wire and the tank shell.
The temperatures used for the correction can be selected from on manual or measured
values.
This correction is recommended for the following situations:
• if the operating temperature deviates considederably from the temperature during
calibration (ΔT > 10 °C (18 °F))
• for extremely high tanks
• for refrigerated, cryogenic or heated applications
As the use of this correction will influence the innage level reading, it is
recommended to ensure the manual hand dip and level verification procedures are
being conducted correctly before enabling this correction method.
This mode cannot be used in conjunction with HTG because the level is not measured
relative to the gauge reference height with HTG.

9.4.13 Configuration of the HART slave + 4-20mA output
If Operating mode = HART slave +4..20mA output has been selected for an Analog I/O
module, it serves as a HART slave which sends up to four HART variables to a HART
master.
The 4-20 mA signal can be used in this case, too. For its configuration: → 75
Standard case: PV = 4-20mA signal
By default, the Primary Variable (PV) is identical to the tank variable transmitted by the
4-20mA output. To define the other HART variables and to configure the HART output in
more detail, proceed as follows:
1.Navigate to: Setup → Advanced setup → Communication → HART output
→ Configuration
2.Go to the System polling address parameter and set the HART slave address of the
device.
3.Use the following parameters to assign tank variables to the second to fourth HART
variable: Assign SV, Assign TV, Assign QV.
The four HART variables are transmitted to a connected HART Master.
Special case: PV ≠ 4-20mA signal
In exceptional cases it might be required that the Primary Variable (PV) transmits a
different tank variable than the 4-20mA output. This is configured as follows.
1.Navigate to: Setup → Advanced setup → Communication → HART output
→ Configuration
2.Go to the PV source parameter and select Custom.
The following additional parameters appear in the submenu: Assign PV, 0 %
value, 100 % value and PV mA selector.
3.Go to the Assign PV parameter and select the tank variable to be transmitted as the
Primary Variable (PV).
4.Use the 0 % value and 100 % value parameters to define a range for the PV. The
Percent of range parameter indicates the percentage for the actual value of the PV.
It is included in the cyclical output to the HART master.
37Scaling of the tank variable to the percentage
A0 % value
B100 % value

5.Use the PV mA selector parameter to define whether the output current of an
Analog I/O module is to be included in the cyclical HART output.

After startup of the device, as long as the assigned tank variable is not yet available,
the output current assumes the defined errror value.
The PV mA selector parameter does not influence the output current at the terminals
of the Analog I/O module. It only defines whether the value of this current is part of
the HART output or not.
