2.2 Designated use
The product is intended to measure the temperature profile inside a reactor, vessel or pipe
through RTD or thermocouple technologies.
The manufacturer is not liable for damage caused by improper or non-designated use.
The product has been designed according to the following conditions:
ConditionDescription
Internal pressureThe design of joints, threaded connections and sealing elements has been
executed as a function of the maximum allowable pressure inside the reactor.
Operating temperatureThe materials used were chosen according to the operating and design
minimum and maximum temperatures. Thermal displacement has been taken
into account to avoid intrinsic stresses and to ensure proper integration
between the instrument and the plant. Specific care has to be taken when the
instrument’s sensing elements are fixed to the plant internals.
Process fluidsDimensions and choice of materials minimize:
• distributed and localized corrosion,
• erosion and abrasion,
• corrosion phenomena due to uncontrolled and unpredictable chemical
reactions.
Specific process fluids analysis is necessary to properly ensure the maximum
operating life of the device, through proper material selection.
FatigueCyclic loads during operations are not foreseen.
VibrationsThe sensing elements can be subjected to vibrations, due to high immersion
lengths from the constraint located in the process connections. This vibrations
can be minimized by properly selecting the route of the sensing element into
the plant, by fixing it on internals by means of accessories like clips and end
tips. The extension neck has been designed for withstanding vibratory loads to
preserve the junction box from cyclic loading, and to avoid the unscrewing of
the threaded components.
Mechanical stressThe maximum stress on the measuring device multiplied by a safety factor is
guaranteed to stay below the yielding stress of the material, for every working
condition of the plant.
External environmentThe junction box (with and without head transmitters), wires, cable glands and
other fittings have been selected to work within the allowed ranges in terms of
external temperature.
2.3 Workplace safety
The external installation area must be free of interferences to avoid any injury during
installation, and to avoid any damage to the measuring device.
2.4 Operational safety
Operate the device in proper technical condition and fail-safe condition only.
‣
The operator is responsible for interference-free operation of the device.
‣
Hazardous area
To eliminate a danger for persons or for the facility when the device is used in the
hazardous area (e.g. explosion protection or safety equipment):
Based on the technical data on the nameplate, check whether the ordered device is
‣
permitted for the intended use in the hazardous area. The nameplate can be found on
the side of the junction box.
Observe the specifications in the separate supplementary documentation that is an
‣
integral part of these Instructions.
Electromagnetic compatibility
The measuring system complies with the general safety requirements in accordance with
EN 61010-1, the EMC requirements of IEC/EN 61326 and NAMUR Recommendation NE
21 and NE 89.
NOTICE
The unit must only be powered by a power supply that operates using an energy-
‣
limited electric circuit that is compliant with IEC 61010-1, "SELV or Class 2 circuit".
2.5 Product safety
The unit is constructed using the most up-to-date production equipment and complies
with the safety requirements of the local guidelines. The temperature measuring system is
fully factory tested according to the specifications indicated on the order and/or any
additional test which is considered as safety-relevant. However, if it is installed incorrectly
or is misused, certain application dangers can occur. Installation, wiring and maintenance
of the unit must only be done by trained, skilled personnel who are authorized to do so by
the plant operator. This skilled staff must have read and understood these instructions and
must follow them. The plant operator must make sure that the measurement system has
been installed by tightening the threaded components (e.g bolts and nuts) with the
predefined torques and tools → 13, and correctly wired according to the wiring
diagrams. → 18

3 Product description
3.1 Product design
The multipoint thermometer belongs to a range of modular product configuration for
multipoint temperature detection with a design where subassemblies and components can
be managed individually for easy maintenance and spare part ordering.
It consists of the following main sub-assemblies:
• Insert: Done by a metal sheathed sensing measuring element (thermocouple or
resistance), extension cables and transition bushing. Each insert can be handled as an
individual spare part that is replaceable by untightening its compression fitting installed
onto the process connection. They can be ordered via specific standard product order
codes (e.g. TSC310, TST310) or special codes. For the specific order code please contact
the Endress+Hauser service department.
• Process connection: Represented by an ASME or EN flange, it might be provided with
eyebolts for lifting the device.
• Head: It is composed of a junction box provided with its components such as cable
glands, draining valves, earth screws, terminals, head transmitters, etc.
• Neck: It is designed to support the junction box by components such as supporting rods
and plates or tube extension.
• Additional accessories: Components that can be ordered independently from the
selected product configuration, such as clips, pads, tips, spacers and plates for tag
sensors.
• Thermowells: They are directly welded on the process connection, designed to
guarantee higher degree of mechanical protection and corrosion resistance for each
sensor.
In general, the system measures the temperature profile inside the process environment
by means of many sensors, jointed to a suitable process connection which ensures the
right tightness levels. Externally, the extension cables are wired into the junction box,
which can be directly mounted or remote as option.

The modular multipoint thermometer is characterized by the following possible main
configurations:
• Linear configuration
The different sensors are aligned along
the straight direction coinciding with the
longitudinal axis of the multipoint
assembly itself (linear multipoint
measurement). This configuration can be
used to install the multipoint either in an
existing thermowell as part of the reactor
or in direct contact with the process.
• 3D distribution configuration
All the inserts, regardless of using the
single insert thermowell protection or not,
can be bent and arranged in a three
dimensional configuration by fixing them
through clips or other equivalent
accessories. This configuration is
commonly used to reach several
measurement points distributed at
different cross sections and levels. Specific
support frames can be provided and
installed on request if they are not already
available on site.
