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 is 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 primary thermowell and 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 product
configuration of the temperature assembly. 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

• A shielded cable is recommended for fieldbus communication. Take the plant grounding
concept into consideration.
• The terminals for connecting the signal cable (1+ and 2-) are protected against reverse
polarity.
• Conductor cross-section:
• Max 2.5 mm2 (14 AWG) for screw terminals

1External ground terminal
2Terminals for signal cable and power supply
3Internal ground terminal
4Shielded signal cable, recommended for fieldbus connection
6.4 Shielding and grounding
For any specific electrical shielding and grounding regarding the transmitter wiring
please refer to the appropriate operating manual of the installed transmitter.
Where applicable, national installation regulations and guidelines must be observed
during the installation! Where there are large differences in potential between the
individual grounding points, only one point of the shielding is connected directly with the
reference ground. In systems without potential equalization, therefore, cable shielding of
fieldbus systems should only be grounded on one side, for example at the supply unit or at
safety barriers.
NOTICE
If the shielding of the cable is grounded at more than one point in systems without
potential matching, power supply frequency equalizing currents can occur that
damage the signal cable or have a serious effect on signal transmission.
In such cases the shielding of the signal cable is to be grounded on only one side, i.e. it
‣
must not be connected to the ground terminal of the housing (terminal head, field
housing). The shield that is not connected should be insulated!
6.5 Degree of protection
The device is conform to the requirements up to IP 66 ingress protection. In order to fulfil
the degree of protection after installation or service, the following points must be taken
into consideration: → 8, 22
Endress+Hauser21
WiringiTHERM TMS11 MultiSens Linear
• The housing seals must be clean and undamaged before they are replaced in the sealing
rebate. If they are found to be too dry, they should be cleaned or even replaced.
• All housing screws and covers must be tightened.
• The cables used for connection must be of the correct specified outside diameter (e.g.
M20 x 1.5, cable diameter from 0.315 to 0.47 in; 8 to 12 mm).
• Tighten cable gland.
• Loop the cable or conduit before placing into the entry ("Water sack"). This means that
any moisture that may form cannot enter the gland. Install the device so that the cable
or conduit entries are not facing upwards.
• Entries not used are to be blanked off using the blanking plates provided.
• The protective grommet must not be removed from the NPT fitting.

CalibrationCalibration is a service that can be performed on each individual insert, either in order
phase, or after multipoint installation (only in case of replaceable sensors).
When calibration shall be performed once the multipoint is installed, please contact
the Endress+Hauser service to get full support. Together with the Endress +Hauser
service any further activity can be organised to achieve the calibration of the target
sensor. In any case it is forbidden to unscrew any threaded component on the process
connection under operating conditions (running process), without knowing the
pressure inside the primary thermowell.
Calibration involves comparing the measured values of the sensing elements of the
multipoint inserts (DUT device under test) with those of a more precise calibration
standard using a defined and reproducible measurement method. The aim is to determine
the deviation of the DUT measured values from the true value of the measured variable.
Two different methods are used for the inserts:
• Calibration at fixed-point temperatures, e.g. at the freezing point of water at 0 °C (32 °F).
• Calibration compared against a precise reference thermometer.
Evaluation of inserts
If a calibration with an acceptable uncertainty of measurement and transferable
measurement results is not possible, Endress+Hauser offers an insert evaluation
measurement service, if technically feasible.

11.5 Mechanical construction
Design, dimensionsThe overall multipoint assembly is composed of different sub-assemblies. Different inserts
are available, based upon specific process conditions, in order to have the highest accuracy
and an extended lifetime. The primary thermowell should be selected to increase
mechanical performances and corrosion resistance. Associated shielded extension cables
are available with high resistance sheath materials to withstand different environmental
conditions and to ensure steady and noiseless signals. The transition between the inserts
and the extension cable is obtained by the usage of specially sealed bushings, ensuring the
declared IP degree protection.

Support system
A modular system or a union joint is foreseen in case of direct mounted junction box.
It ensures the connection between the head of the primary thermowell and the junction
box. The system design ensures easy access for monitoring and maintaining inserts and
extension cables. Rods and protection cover guarantee a high stiffness connection for the
junction box and vibration loads. No closed volumes are present in the frame design
although it allows protection to the cables. This avoids the accumulation of waste and
potentially dangerous fluids coming from the environment that can damage the
instrumentation allowing continuous ventilation.
In case of three pieces union joint design the junction box can be orientated and the
extension cables remain accessible thanks to the disassembling of the joint.

Diagnostic function
The reactors where the multipoint assembly operates are usually characterized by severe
conditions in terms of pressure, temperature, corrosion and dynamics of the process fluids.
Thanks to the pressure port, it is possible to detect and monitor possible leakages (or gases
permeation) occurring through the primary thermowell, and plan the maintenance.
WeightThe weight can vary based upon the configuration, depending on the junction box and the
frame design. The approximate weight of a typically configured multipoint thermometer
(number of inserts = 12, main body = 3", medium size junction box) = 30 kg (66.1 lb).
