Product type
Measurement systemThe Prothermo NMT 539 is available in four different versions:
• Converter only
• Converter + Average temperature probe
• Converter + Water bottom (Capacitance) sensor
• Converter + Average temp probe + Water bottom sensor
The converter only version can be retrofitted without modifications onto existing third party
average temperature probes, such as Whessoe Varec 9909 and 1700 and Weed Beacon MW
type probes. The average temperature probe + converter inherits all the functionality of the former
Prothermo NMT 535/536/537 series. The water bottom (WB) + converter provides constant water
interface level data for the host level gauge for determining the multi-layered water bottom level
measurement. The average temperature + WB + converter is the ultimate multi-function sensor,
transmitting temperature and water interface level data along only one pair of HART signal cables
to the host the Proservo NMS 53x or NRF 590 Tank Side Monitor.
Different types of NMT 539, including "Converter only," "Coverter + average temperature" and
"Converter + WB" are simpler versions of the "Converter + WB + temperature" probe.

The Prothermo NMT 539 is the successor of the former NMT 535 Ex i version. For proper
migration, the NMT 539 has inherited all the functionality and specifications of the NMT 535,
including process connections, cable entries and wiring method.
Since the Proservo NMS 53x already provides water interface measurement, the NMT 539
Converter + Average temperature may be the best version when used in combination with the
Proservo. When the Converter + WB + Average temperature version is used in combination with
the Proservo, the product in the tank will be thoroughly managed with level, continuous average
temperature and water interface measurement.
All the necessary configuration and parameter settings for the NMT 539 are performed on both
the Proservo NMS 53x and ToF tool.
The NMT 539 receives liquid level data from the Proservo, then calculates liquic and gas phase
average temperature. Calculated data and basic information, including raw data for each
temperature element and device status, are transmitted to the Proservo.
From the Proservo NMS 53x or NRF 590 Tank Side Monitor, all sensor data are sent to the interface
unit via V1 communication protocol.
Note!
Since the Proservo is a multi-functional device (measurement and data transmission), the
Promonitor NRF 560 acts as a tank side remote data indicator and controller for Proservo. The
standard NRF 560 has no data transmission functionality. For special applications, an optical fiber
transmission version is available. Please consult with your Endress+Hauser representative for
more information.
All gathered data in the interface unit is sent to inventory management software, such as
Endress+Hauser's FuelsManager or NXS-310 (MDP-II program), or directly sent to the customer's
specific DCS or PLC.

NMT 539 Converter +
Temp. + WB version
The NMT 539 Converter + Temp. + WB is utilised effectively in combination with radar level
gauging. Water interface, temperature and level measurement, with data collection and
calculations via the NRF 590, allows for optimal inventory control. Basic functionality of the NMT
539 is displayed and configured on the NRF 590. Detailed NMT 539 functionality and data access
can be performed by the ToF tool.
The NMT 539 receives radar level data from the NRF 590 and then calculates liquid and gas
phase average temperature. Calculated and standard data, including temperature element raw
data and device status, are transmitted to the NRF 590..
Depending on the size of the tank farm and data processing functionality, measurement data can
be transmitted to various interface units via V1 protocol or other industry standard communication
protocols (please see the NRF 590 technical information).
All gathered data in the interface unit is sent to inventory management software, such as
Endress+Hauser's FuelsManager or NXS-310 (MDP-II program), or directly sent to the customer's
specific DCS or PLC.

Note!
Use seal tape to secure the connection between converter and temperature probe.
Please refer to the NMT 539 instruction manual for the detailed installation procedure.
All three versions have the same installation method to fit onto the tank nozzle.
The following flange sizes are available:
• JIS 10K 50A RF... mild carbon
• ANSI 150lb 2" RF... mild carbon
• JPI 150lb 2" RF... mild carbon
• DIN DN50 PN 10RF... mild carbon
Different sizes and materials can be provided depending on the installation conditions. Please
consult your Endress+Hauser representative for the most suitable solution.
An additional feature of the NMT 539, the height adjuster, can be used to adjust installation height
of the NMT 539 within ±180 mm (7") from original height.
Note!
The height adjuster is not included in "Converter only" version.
Caution!
Please tighten the lock nut with seal tape to secure rigidity of the NMT 539 at the end of physical
installation and/or if the height adjuster will be used during operation. A loose lock nut can lead
to improper tank sealing or unexpected leakage into the tank.
WB blocking distanceThe Water Bottom sensor can be set as low as zero clearance from the tank floor by using height
adjuster. Due to mechanical design of WB sensor, bottom plate has approximately 10mm
thickness. This will become a blocking distance (ineffective measuring range).
Caution!
Calculate vertical movement of NMT 539 installation height prior to setting the WB sensor bottom
clearance. Typical tank shell deformation causes vertical movement at a minimum 20 ~ 30mm
(1"). Excessive weight load of entire NMT 539 on WB sensor by contacting tank floor may cause
critical damage that disables accurate & stable WB level measurement.

All-in-one programThe powerful processor enables multi-function caculations under a single program. This means
that there is no need for a variety of spare parts.
RTD Temperature calculation
The main CPU board now has all the required data processing functionality, including RTD - HART
conversion. With the NMT 538, various programs were required depending on temperature
element characteristics, such as Pt100, Cu90, Cu100 and PtCu100. The new NMT 539 has all the
programs in one powerful processor.
Capacitance - HART signal conversion
A separate CF (Capacitance - Frequency) board can be connected directly to the CPU board
when NMT 539 is equipped with WB sensor.

Approx. 319 mm
189 mm
48 mm
Type 1 Measuring functionThe Converter only version is the direct replacement of the previous NMT 538 series. Connection
and compatibility are provided to third party temperature probes with various element types.
Unlike the NMT 538, the powerful processor of the NMT 539 calculates and converts the following
element types without altering the program (EPROM installed software):
• Pt100
• Cu100
• Cu90
• PtCu100
The type 1 converter also enables connection to a dual function average temperature and
capacitance WB probe, such as the Weed Beacon MWR. Wiring, however, requires the isolation
of the RTD temperature signal from the capacitance WB signal on coaxial cable. The wiring of the
temperature signal is exactly the same as Endress+Hauser's 1700, 9909 and other RTD probes.
The coaxial (WB) cable must be routed from the existing auxiliary capacitance to the HART (or 4
- 20 mA) converter via NMT 539's terminal compartment.
Caution!
NMT 539 is only compatible with MRTs (Multi-Resistance Thermometers) and/or MSTs (Multi-Spot
Thermometers). It is not designed to work with "Thermocouple" type thermometers.
The physical connection between probe to NMT 539 is completed by Zinc plated carbon steel PF
3/4" (NPS 3/4") universal threaded coupling. In case a different thread size is required,
Endress+Hauser can provide the simplest and most efficient solution by adapting a variety of
coupling sizes and materials based on existing temperature probe specifications.
The power supply and data transmission lines are both fed to the host gauge, Proservo NMS 53x
or Tank Side Monitor NRF 590, by one pair of HART loop connections. In addition to the userfriendly display, the NMT 539 can also be configured and operated via the ToF (Time-of-Flight)
tool.

Type 2 Measuring functionBasic functionality remains the same, but the special M20 threaded connection allows the NMT
539 converter to fit directly onto the existing terminal housing of the 1700.
Actual wiring of the RTD signal from the probe to the NMT 539 must be executed in the terminal
box of the 1700, not the NMT 539. Therefore, the type 2 converter only has a primary housing that
contains NMT 539 electronics and no secondary housing is included.
Caution!
Secure the threaded connection with seal tape and tighten the lock nut at the actual installation.
A loose connection of the NMT 539 & Varec 1700 terminal housing can cause serious electrical
damage depending on environmental conditions.

Measuring functionThe NMT 539 converter and average temperature probe is the direct replacement for the former
NMT 535 Ex i and 537. The W&M approved high accuracy temperature device is well suited for
both custody transfer and inventory control applications. Based on the product temperature
range and specific application, the NMT 539 has 4 different temperature ranges to meet your
application requirements:
• -40 ...+100 °C (-40 ...+212 °F): Most standard temperature range for the custody transfer
application
• -55 ...+235 °C (-67 ...+455 °F) : Capability of high and / or low temperature product application
like sulfur & asphalt and moderate liquid / gas application.
• -200 ...+71 °C (-328 ...160 °F) : Special design for the refrigerated tank application like LNG,
LPG
• -18 ...+80 °C (-0.4 ...176 °F) : Only design to use with W&M certified application.
The NMT 539 converter and average temperature probe consists of up to 16 IEC class A Pt100
elements in the protection tube. The very sensitive sensor elements change resistance values
depending on the surrounding temperature. Therefore, applied voltage through this sensor
deviates based on resistance change at the element. As a specific design to meet intrinsically
safe standards, the NMT 539 converter and temperature version is built with the most efficient
power management concept (compared to existing NMT 535, less than 60 percent of current flow
is required under normal operating conditions).
In order to achieve the highest degree of measurement accuracy and mechanical & electrical
durability, NMT539 employs a powerful processor, large storage capacity, and simple module
structure.
To achieve the user-friendly concept, the newly adopted height adjuster allows the adjustment of
the installation height up to 360 mm (14") at the process connection (flange) depending on the
tank shape and condition.
Various probe protections are available (pending)
• Standard flexible tube
• Steel armored flexible tube
• Nylon or Teflon outer tube (installation must be in protection pipe only)
W &M functionThe NMT 539 converter and temperature probe is custody transfer approved and provides less
than ±0.1 °C of measurement deviation. Once the NMT 539 is configured to "W&M mode", all the
changeable parameters are frozen by software and mechanical switch protection.

capacitance WB probe
Measuring functionThe Prothermo NMT 539 is a temperature measurement device, water interface measuring
capacitance probe and HART signal converter. The capacitance probe is important for the
detection of water below product (mainly crude oil) and determines water level by sensing the
dielectric constant of the product in the tank. Measured data is transmitted via coaxial cable to
the converter housing, and the capacitance signal is converted to a HART signal.
Note!
The HART signal converter and capacitance probe are designed and intended to work together.
Performance based on separate use or connection to other instruments is not guaranteed.
This version appears to have the exact physical dimensions as the Converter + Temp. + WB
version. However, Pt100 elements or signal cables to carry RTD data to the converter are not
integrated in the protection tube. Only a coaxial cable for capacitance signal is inserted.
Caution!
Due to the characteristic of capacitance measurement, precise initial calibration must be
performed in order to achieve the maximum measurement accuracy.
The condition of tank contents (both oil & water), liquid temperature and individual probe
characteristic can greatly effect the measurement performance.
Specific accuracy & repeatability measurement must be taken within the same environment in
order to perform data comparison.

of the necessary parameters can be configured via Proservo NMS 53x, the Tank Side Monitor NRF
590 or the ToF tool.
The integrated WB sensor (capacitance water interface measurement) is set at the bottom of the
average temperature probe. The standard WB measurement ranges are 1m (3.3 ft) and 2m (6.6
ft). The tube structured WB sensor is made of SUS304 pipe and exterior is protected by an
additional 1mm thick teflon tube. Pt 100 elements are set inside of this tube structure, meaning
that temperature measurement is not disturbed due to the WB functionality.

Stainless Steel
conversion table
The stainless steel material used in products of Endress + Hauser Japan normally have
expressions according to Japanese industrial standards, such as JIS or TIIS. Each countries or
regions may have different expressions place to place.
The following conversion table contains the expression of equivalent stainless steel material
based on the chemical composition and mechanical properties.
Since each standard carries own mechanical and scientific definition, some expressions may not
have the straight conversion from the Japanese standard. Consult with the local authority or
legislature to ensure the proper comparison with the applied standard prior to determining
specification.
