5.1 Requirements
5.1.1 Type of tanks
Depending on the type of tank and application, different installation procedures are
recommended for NMS8x.
Type of tanksWithout guide systemWith stilling wellWith guide wires
Fixed roof tank
Floating roof tank
Covered floating roof tank
Pressurized or bullet tank
Tank with agitator or heavy
turbulence
• A stilling well is required in a floating roof tank and a covered floating roof tank.
Endress+Hauser17
InstallationProservo NMS81
• Guide wires cannot be installed in a floating roof tank. When the measuring wire is
exposed to free space, it may break due to an external shock.
• Installing guide wires is not allowed in pressurized tanks because the wires would
prevent closing the valve for replacing the wire, wire drum, or displacer. NMS8x
installation position is important for applications without the guide wire system in
order to prevent the measuring wire from being broken (refer to Operating
Instructions for details ).

5.1.4 Mounting with a stilling well
The stilling well diameter that is required to protect the measuring wire without disturbing
its operation varies depending on the tank height. The stilling well could either be of
constant diameter, or narrower at its upper part and wider at its lower part. The following
figure shows two examples of the latter case, namely a concentric stilling well and an
asymmetric stilling well.

(77 mm (3.03 in) + flange thickness).
For JIS 10K 150A RF, the flange thickness is 22 mm (0.87 in).
• When using an asymmetric stilling well, take into account the lateral shift of the
displacer and follow the NMS8x mounting direction as shown in the figure.
• To calculate the required stilling well diameters, the formula below should be used.
The following tables contain the necessary parameters in order to calculate the
dimensions of the stilling well. Be sure to have appropriate dimensions of the
stilling well according to each dimension in the table.
• The radial direction offset (r) is required for only the 47 m (154.20 ft) and
55 m (180.45 ft) wire drum. For all other drums, the offset is 0 mm/in.

Recommendations for NMS8x mounting with a stilling well
Follow the recommendations for mounting NMS8x with a stilling well.
• Keep the pipe connection welds smooth.
• When drilling holes into the pipe, keep the interior surface of the holes clear of
metal chips and burrs.
• Coat or paint the interior surface of the pipe to prevent corrosion.
• Keep the pipe as vertical as possible. Check using a plumb bob.
• Install the asymmetric pipe under the valve and align the centers of the NMS8x and
the valve.
• Set the center of the lower part of the asymmetric pipe in the direction of the lateral
motion.
• Observe the recommendations as per API MPMS chapter 3.1B.
• Confirm grounding between NMS8x and the tank nozzle.

Guide wire installation
Guide wire installation procedure
1.Install NMS8x [1] on the reducer plate.
2.Perform calibration steps (→ 87) before the displacer [3] is attached to the
guide wires.
Make sure that the displacer does not touch the guide wires during calibration.
This could be done by mounting the NMS8x to the reducer plate [2] prior to
fitting the guide wires [4].
Perform calibration steps so that displacer does not touch the guide wires if the guide
wires are already installed to the reducer plate.
3.Secure the guide wires to the hooks of the springs [5].
4.Secure the springs to the reducer plate.
5.Put the guide wires through the displacer guide ring [6] and set the displacer.
This completes the guide wire installation procedure.

5.1.6 Alignment of NMS8x
Flange
Confirm that the size of the nozzle and the flange is matched prior to mounting NMS8x on
the tank. The flange size and the rating of NMS8x vary depending on the customer’s
specifications.
• Check the flange size of NMS8x.
• Mount the flange on the top of the tank. The deviation of the flange from the
horizontal plane should not exceed +/- 1 degree.
• When mounting NMS8x on a long nozzle, make sure that the displacer does not
touch the inner wall of the nozzle.
12Allowable inclination of mounting flange
1Nozzle
When NMS8x is installed without a guide system, follow the recommendations below:
• Confirm the mounting nozzle is in the sector between 45 and 90 degrees (or -45
and -90 degrees)away from the inlet pipe of the tank. This prevents heavy swinging
of the displacer caused by waves or turbulence from the inlet liquid.
• Confirm the mounting nozzle is 500 mm (19.69 in) or more away from the tank
wall.
• Confirm the minimum measuring level is at 500 mm (19.69 in) or more above the
top of the inlet pipe by setting the low stop (for details of low stop setting,
→ 97). This protects the displacer from direct flow of the inlet liquid.
• If a stilling well cannot be mounted in the tank due to the shape or condition of the
tank, attaching a guide system is recommended. Consult E+H services for further
information.

2Tank nozzle
• Before pouring liquid into the tank, confirm that liquid flowing through the inlet of
the pipe will not contact the displacer directly.
• When discharging liquid out of the tank, ensure that the displacer will not get
caught in the liquid current and sucked into the outlet pipe.
5.1.7 Electrostatic charge
When liquid measured by NMS8x has a conductivity of 1 uS/m or less, it is quasinonconductive. In this case, using a stilling well or guide wire is recommended. This
releases the electrostatic charge on the liquid surface.
34Endress+Hauser
Proservo NMS81Installation
5.2 Mounting of the device
The NMS8x is delivered in two different packing styles depending on the mounting
method of the displacer.
• For the all-in-one method, the displacer is mounted on the measuring wire of NMS8x.
• For the displacer shipped separately method, it is necessary to install the displacer on
the measuring wire inside NMS8x.

E2 H3Orange LED: indicates data communication
This interface always operates as the main HART master for connected HART slave
transmitters. The Analog I/O modules, on the other hand, can be configured as a
HART master or slave → 56 → 58.
The terminal compartment contains four slots (A, B, C and D) for I/O modules. Depending
on the device version (ordering features 040, 050 and 060) these slots contain different
I/O modules. The table below shows which module is located in which slot for a specific
device version.
The slot assignment for the device is also indicated on a label attached to the back
cover of the display module.

9.3 Calibration
After installing or replacing NMS8x or its parts (sensor module, detector unit, wire drum,
or measuring wire), several calibration steps are required. All calibration steps may not be
required, depending on whether the device is being installed, adjusted, or replaced (see
table below).
Prior to installation of NMS8x, confirm that all of the following data of the displacer and
the wire drum on the nameplate match with those programmed into the device.
1.Check the displacer diameter, weight, volume, and balance volume for the Displacer
diameter parameter, the Displacer weight parameter, the Displacer volume
parameter, and the Displacer balance volume parameter.
2.Check the drum circumference and wire weight for the Drum circumference
parameter and Wire weight parameter.
This completes the data verification procedure.
A0028697
39Data verification
9.3.2 Move displacer
The move displacer operation is optional and can be used to change the current position of
the displacer in order to perform the calibration steps more easily.
1.Make sure that the wire drum stopper has been removed.
2.Ensure a distance of 500 mm (19.69 in) or more from the bottom of the displacer to
the liquid level.
3.Confirm that the displacer weight is correct for the Set high weight parameter.
4.Select the Start option.
The drum calibration starts automatically.
The drum calibration records fifty points which will take approximately eleven
minutes.
5.Select the No option as usual for the Make low table parameter.
To make a low table for special applications, select the Yes and use 50 g weight.
This completes drum calibration procedure.
To cancel any calibration, press + simultaneously. If the drum calibration is
canceled while making the new table, the old table remains effective. If making a new
table fails due to an obstruction, NMS8x will not accept the new table and shows an
error message.

The level measurement is to measure the position where the displacer is balanced
(immersion point) in the liquid. When the liquid surface level changes, the displacer
continuously follows the position to measure the liquid level. To define the appropriate
level measurement, the following settings are required prior to operation.
The interface measurement can determine the interface between different liquids in a tank
(e.g. water and oil).Up to two different interfaces can be determined within a maximum of
three phases in a tank.
Setting the density of application
Density values for three liquid phases are set as follows prior to delivery.
• Upper density: 800 kg/m
• Middle density: 1000 kg/m
• Lower density: 1200 kg/m

Change the data to reflect the actual density values. For tanks with only one liquid phase,
set the upper density. For tanks with two or three phases, set middle and bottom densities
as well.
Number of phasesParameters to be set
1 phaseUpper density
2 phasesUpper/middle density
3 phasesUpper/middle/lower density
When performing an interface measurement, the minimum density difference
between phases should be at least 100 kg/m3.
Setting the density
1.Navigate to: Setup → Upper density , Setup → Middle density and Setup → Lower
density
2.Input the value to Upper, Middle, and Lower densities accordingly.
To measure the tank level correctly, the tank reference height and empty (distance from
reference point to datum plate) must be set in advance.
• Tank reference height: Set by the customer to represent the height of the tank.
Distance between the dipping reference and the datum plate. Used for percentage
calculation and as reference for the ullage level.
• Empty: Distance between the zero point of device and datum plate. Empty is
automatically adjusted by the Set level parameter.
• Refer to Level calibration for details how to determine the empty parameter
accurately. → 98
The high stop and low stop determine the highest and lowest points of displacer
movement. Set these data to the desired actual upper and lower limit values.
If the displacer should be able to determine a tank bottom that is below the datum
plate, set the low stop to a negative value. To make sure that the displacer travels up
to the reference position, set the high stop to a value greater than or equal to empty.
High stop and low stop setting procedure
1.Navigate to: Setup → High stop level
2.Input the actual value for high stop.
3.Navigate to: Setup → Low stop level
4.Input the actual value for low stop.
This completes upper and lower stop setting procedure.
