CONSIDERATIONS

General	Electrical temperature sensors such as RTDs and thermocouples
	produce low-level signals proportional to their sensed temperature. The
	Models 244EH and 244ER transmitters convert the low-level sensor
	signal to a standard 4–20 mA dc signal that is relatively insensitive to
	lead length and electrical noise. This current signal is then transmitted
	to the control room via two wires.
Mechanical	When choosing an installation location and position, take into account
	the need for access to the transmitter.
	Wiring Connections
	Make wiring connections through the cable entry in the side of the
	connection head. Be sure to provide adequate clearance for
	cover removal.
Electrical	Proper electrical installation is necessary to prevent errors due to
	sensor lead resistances and electrical noise. Shielded cable should be
	used in electrically noisy environments.
Environmental	The transmitter electronics module is permanently sealed within the
	housing, resisting moisture and corrosive damage. Verify that the
	operating atmosphere of the transmitter is consistent with the
	appropriate hazardous locations certifications.

Instructions and procedures in this section may require special precautions to ensure the safety of the personnel performing the operations. Information that raises potential safety issues is indicated by a warning symbol (). Please refer to the following safety messages before performing an operation preceded by this symbol.

Explosions could result in death or serious injury.

•Do not remove the enclosure cover in explosive atmospheres when the circuit is live.

•Verify that the operating atmosphere of the transmitter is consistent with the appropriate hazardous locations certification.

•Enclosure covers must be fully engaged to meet explosion-proof requirements.

Process leaks could result in death or serious injury.

•Install and tighten thermowells or sensors before applying pressure, or process leakage may result.

•Do not remove the thermowell while in operation. Doing so may cause process fluid leaks.

Electrical shock could cause death or serious injury.

•If the sensor is installed in a high-voltage environment and a fault condition or installation error occurs, high voltage may be present on transmitter leads and terminals.

MOUNTING

Figure 2-2. Model 244EH Connection Head Temperature Rise vs. Extension Length

The Model 244EH installs in a connection head or universal head mounted directly on a sensor assembly, apart from a sensor assembly using a universal head, or to a DIN rail using an optional mounting clip. The Model 244ER mounts directly to a wall or to a DIN rail.

The Models 244EH and 244ER transmitters will operate within specifications for ambient temperatures between –40 and 185 °F (–40 and 85 °C).

In a direct mounting configuration using a Model 244EH transmitter, process heat is transferred from the thermowell to the transmitter via the connection head. If the expected connection head temperature is near or beyond specification limits, consider the use of additional thermowell lagging, an extension nipple, or a remote mounting configuration to isolate the transmitter from excessive temperatures. Figure 2-2 provides an example of the relationship between transmitter housing temperature rise and extension length. Use Figure 2-2 as a guide for determining adequate thermowell extension length.

Example

The transmitter specification limit is 85 °C. If the ambient temperature is 55 °C and the process temperature to be measured is 800 °C, the maximum permissible connection head temperature rise is the transmitter specification limit minus the ambient temperature

(85 –55 °C), or 30 °C. In this case, an extension of 100 mm meets this requirement, but 125 mm provides a margin of 8 °C, thereby reducing any temperature effects in the transmitter.

Several transmitters can be connected to a single master power supply as shown in Figure 2-9. In this case, the system may be grounded only at the negative power supply terminal. In multichannel installations where several transmitters depend on one power supply and the loss of all transmitters would cause operational problems, consider a back-up battery or power supply that cannot be interrupted. The diodes shown in Figure 2-9 prevent unwanted charging or discharging of the back-up battery.

Model 244EC Configuration

Interface

Screen Conventions

The Models 244EH and 244ER Configuration Software follows the Microsoft Windows screen conventions with the following exception: Configuration parameters change color to indicate fields where information has changed. Before placing a new transmitter into service, or before returning a transmitter to service after changing configuration information, verify that the values in the fields that have been changed reflect the correct configuration parameters for your application. For example, if you change the Sensor Type field to PT100– Alpha 392, the Number of Wires, Units, 4 mA Point, and 20 mA Point fields all change to reflect the default PT100–Alpha 392 sensor values. Verify all information before placing the transmitter into service.

The Model 244EC Configuration Interface is a portable, self-contained link between your PC and a Model 244. The Model 244EC connects to a PC serial port with a standard 9-pin interconnecting plug and connects to a transmitter with two MINIGRABBER™ clips.

The Model 244EC will also operate using a wall power adapter or a single replaceable 9-volt battery.

Setting Up the Model 244EC Configuration Interface

All necessary power is provided through the configuration leads from the Model 244EC to the transmitter. The sensor does not need to be disconnected in order to configure the transmitter.

To set up the Model 244EC Configuration Interface and prepare it for use, refer to Figure 2-10 on page 2-12 and follow the procedure described below.

1.Install the 9-volt battery in the Model 244EC. Be sure the power switch remains in the “OFF” position.

2.Attach the ribbon cable from the Model 244EC to the serial port of your PC using the 9-pin interconnecting plug. If your PC has a 25-pin serial port, you will need a 25-pin to 9-pin adapter to accommodate the connection.

NOTE

It is not necessary to power down your PC before you attach the Model 244EC. However, if you are using a desktop model, you may wish to power down to reduce the risk of electric shock or computer damage.

3.Attach the configuration leads to the Model 244EC using the banana jacks provided. Be sure to observe proper polarity—attach the red lead to the positive (+) jack on the Model 244EC and the black lead to the negative (–) jack.

4.Attach the configuration leads to the configuration terminals (labeled “PROG”) on the transmitter using the MINIGRABBER clips provided. Be sure to observe proper polarity—attach the red lead to the positive (+) terminal on the transmitter and the black lead to the negative (–) terminal.

5.Turn on the Model 244EC using the power switch on the top side of the housing.

NOTE

Verify that the Model 244EC “Low Battery” LED is not on before initiating communication with the transmitter. If the low battery LED is on, you will not be able to configure the transmitter.

6.Using your PC, open the Configuration Software program. Access the online help if you have questions regarding the use of the program.

FIELD WIRING

All power to the transmitter is supplied over the signal wiring. Use ordinary copper wire of sufficient size to ensure that the voltage across the transmitter power terminals does not drop below 12.0 V dc.

If the sensor is installed in a high-voltage environment and a fault condition or installation error occurs, the sensor leads and transmitter terminals could carry lethal voltages. Use extreme caution when making contact with the leads and terminals.

NOTE

Do not apply high voltage (e.g., ac line voltage) to the transmitter terminals. Abnormally high voltage can damage the unit. (Sensor and transmitter power terminals are rated to 42.4 V dc.)

For multichannel installations, see “Multichannel Installations” on page 2-9. The transmitters will accept inputs from a variety of RTD and thermocouple types. Refer to Figure 2-12 on page 2-15 when making sensor connections.

2-12

Use the following steps to wire the transmitter:

1.Connect the positive lead from the power supply to the transmitter terminal marked “+” and the negative lead to the transmitter terminal marked “–” (see Figure 2-11 and Figure 2-13).

2.Tighten the terminal compression screws to ensure adequate contact. No additional power wiring is required.

3.After making connections, recheck the polarity and correctness of connections, then turn the power on.

Sensor Connections

The Models 244E are compatible with a number of RTD and thermocouple sensor types. Figure 2-12 shows the correct input connections to the sensor terminals on the transmitter. To ensure proper sensor connections, anchor the sensor lead wires into the appropriate compression terminals and tighten the screws.

RTD or Ohm Inputs

The transmitters will accept a variety of RTD configurations, including 2-wire, 3-wire, 4-wire, and compensation loop designs. If the transmitter is mounted remotely from a 3-wire or 4-wire RTD, it will operate within specifications, without recalibration, for lead wire resistances of up to 10 ohms per lead (equivalent to 1,000 feet of

20 AWG wire). In this case, the leads between the RTD and transmitter should be shielded. If using only two leads, both RTD leads are in series with the sensor element, so significant errors can occur if the lead lengths exceed three feet of 20 AWG wire (approximately 0.05 °C/ft). For longer runs, attach a third or fourth lead as described above.

Basic Error

Sensor Lead Wire Resistance Effect

RTD Input

When using a 4-wire RTD, the effect of lead resistance is eliminated and has no impact on accuracy. However, a 3-wire sensor will not fully cancel lead resistance error because it cannot compensate for imbalances in resistance between the lead wires. Using the same type of wire on all three lead wires will make a 3-wire RTD installation as accurate as possible. A 2-wire sensor will produce the largest error because it directly adds the lead wire resistance to the sensor resistance. For 2- and 3-wire RTDs, an additional lead wire resistance error is induced with ambient temperature variations. The table and the examples shown below help quantify these errors.

FAILURE MODE

Changing Switch Positions

The Models 244EH and 244ER features software driven alarm diagnostics and an independent circuit. These features are designed to provide separate backup alarm output in case the microprocessor, electronics, hardware, or software fails. The alarm levels are user selectable using the Failure Mode Switch. The position of the jumper determines the direction in which the output is driven (HI or LO) in case of alarm. The jumper switch feeds into the Digital-to-Analog (D/A) converter, which drives the proper alarm output even if the microprocessor fails.

The values to which the transmitter drives its output in failure mode depend on whether it is factory configured to standard or NAMUR-compliant operation. See “Failure Mode” on page A-2 for these parameters.

To determine the failure mode configuration of a transmitter, review the low and high alarm levels on the SERVICE menu provided by the configuration software.

To change the failure mode on the Model 244EH or 244ER transmitter, follow the steps described below.

1. If the transmitter is mounted in an enclosure, remove the enclosure cover.

2.Locate the orange failure mode switch. The switch is located near the power terminals on the Model 244EH and in the center of the front panel on the Model 244ER (see Figure 2-13).

3.Move the switch to the desired alarm setting. To set the failure mode to high alarm, position the switch toward the “HI” mark on the terminal block; to set the failure mode to low alarm, position the switch in the opposite direction.

4. Replace the enclosure cover (if applicable). Enclosure covers must be fully engaged to meet explosion-proof requirements.

If the transmitter is installed in a measurement loop, disconnect power to the transmitter before beginning to set up the Model 244EC Configuration Interface. If the Model 244EC connects to a transmitter while the transmitter is powered in a measurement loop, the Model 244EC will shunt the electrical current, possibly resulting in a dangerous situation within the measurement loop.

POWER SUPPLY

Surges/Transients

The dc power supply should provide power with a ripple that is less than two percent of the nominal supply voltage. The total resistance load is the sum of the resistance of the signal leads and the lead resistance of any controller, indicator, or related piece of equipment in the loop. Note that the resistance of intrinsic safety barriers, if used, must be included.

The transmitter will withstand electrical transients of the energy level usually encountered in static discharges or induced switching transients. However, high-energy transients, such as those induced by lightning strikes, welding, heavy electrical equipment, or switch gears, can damage both the transmitter and the sensor.

To protect against high-energy transients, install Models 244E into a suitable connection head with the Rosemount Model 470 Transient Protector. The Model 470 prevents damage from transients induced by lightning, welding, heavy electrical equipment, or switching gears. Refer to the Model 470 Transient Protector Product Data Sheet (document number 00813-0100-4191) for more information.

Rosemount Models 244EH and 244ER PC-Programmable Temperature Transmitters

Grounding	The transmitter will operate with the current signal loop either floating
	or grounded. However, the extra noise in floating systems affects many
	types of readout devices. If the signal appears noisy or erratic,
	grounding the current signal loop at a single point may solve the
	problem. The best place to ground the loop is at the negative terminal
	of the power supply.
	The transmitter is electrically isolated to 500 V ac rms, so the input
	circuit also may be grounded at a single point. When using a grounded
	thermocouple, the grounded junction serves as this point. Do not
	ground the current signal loop at more than one point.

	NOTE
	Do not ground the signal wire at both ends.

Viewing the Process

Variable

Figure 3-2. Viewing the Process Variable with the 244EC

With version 2.0 and later of the Model 244EC Configuration Interface, users can view the measured temperature (PV) by selecting SERVICE from the menu bar of the main configuration window (see Figure 3-2). In order to view a valid PV, a temperature sensor must be connected to the Model 244E transmitter, and the transmitter must be configured properly for that sensor type. The PV will be automatically updated on the Model 244EC screen approximately two times per second.

244E-244EC01

INTERMITTENT SENSOR ALGORITHM

The electronics of the Model 244E transmitter contains an intermittent sensor algorithm that monitors the input signal during operation. The signal diagnostics routine, which occurs at each temperature update (every 500 milliseconds), eliminates output pulsing in an intermittent open sensor condition. Further, it validates the input signal before the digital-to-analog (D/A) conversion takes place.

If the process temperature changes, the intermittent sensor algorithm causes the transmitter to respond according to one of the three cases described below. Threshold value is the maximum change in reading (as a percentage of output range) within one update cycle (500 ms). The threshold value of the Model 244E is 2% of output range.

3-5

Rosemount Models 244EH and 244ER PC-Programmable Temperature Transmitters

Case Examples	Case 1: Open Sensor
	If the algorithm detects an open sensor, the transmitter immediately
	goes into alarm (high or low, depending on the position of the failure
	mode switch).

Case 2: Temperature Change Greater than the

Threshold Value(2% of Output Range)

If the algorithm detects a process temperature change ( T) greater than the threshold value (2 % of the output range), but which is not a true open sensor condition, the transmitter will go into a hold period. During the hold period, the transmitter determines whether or not this temperature measurement is valid by using the three additional measurement points. In the meantime, the output remains unchanged at the initial reading (Time = 0 ms).

A) If these next three readings are within the new threshold value (at Time = 500 ms), this measurement is validated. The output changes to reflect this and the transmitter is no longer in a hold period. In this case, the output delay is 1.75 to 2.00 seconds.

B) If the reading drops back within the original threshold value (at Time = 0 ms) during the hold period, the transmitter interprets the reading(s) outside the threshold value as a spike, and the output changes to reflect the latest reading. The transmitter is no longer in a hold period, and the spike is not seen at the output.

C) If any of the next three measurements is outside the new threshold value (at Time = 500 ms), the output remains unchanged at the initial reading (Time = 0 ms). the transmitter remains in a hold period until four consecutive measurements are within the threshold value of the first in the series.

Case 3: Temperature Change Within the

Threshold Value (2 % of Range)

If the transmitter detects an input change that is within the threshold value, it reports the new value within one output cycle (500 ms).

If the transmitter has both intermittent sensor detect and damping enabled, the output reading is calculated by the following formula:

Damped Value = (P – N) ´	æ	2T – Uö	+ N
Damped Value = (P – N) ´	è	-----------------ø	+ N
		2T + U

P = previous damped value

N = new sensor value

T = damping time constant

U = update rate

The transmitter outputs the corresponding value on the damping curve within 1.75 to 2.0 seconds and updates the output reading every 500 ms thereafter, according to the damping equation above. At the value to which the damping time constant is set, the transmitter output is at 63% of the input change.

3-7

Rosemount Models 244EH and 244ER PC-Programmable Temperature Transmitters

Figure 3-3. Damping Function when Input Change is Greater Than the Threshold Value

Figure 4-1 illustrates an example of intermittent sensor detect with damping enabled. If the temperature undergoes a step change greater than the threshold value, or from 100 degrees to 110 degrees, and the damping is set to 5.0 seconds, the transmitter calculates a new reading every 500 ms using the damping equation, but holds the output at 100 degrees for between 1.75 and 2.0 seconds. Within 1.75 and

2.0 seconds, the transmitter outputs the reading that corresponds to the damping curve at that time ( ), and continues to calculate and update the output reading every 500 ms thereafter ( ) according to the damping equation. After 5 seconds, the transmitter outputs

106.3 degrees, or 63% of the input change ( ), and the output continues to approach the input curve according to the equation above.

NOTE

If the damping time constant is set between 0 and 2 seconds, the transmitter does not report the output change until the intermittent sensor algorithm validates the input signal. After validating the input signal, the transmitter outputs the value that corresponds to the damping curve at that time.

644-644_02A

Intermittent Sensor Detect

(Advanced Feature)

NOTE

The Intermittent Sensor Detect feature is not available when using a Model 244EH with software revision 5.5.1. To determine the software version of a Model 244E temperature transmitter, first connect the transmitter to the Model 244EC configurator, open the Model 244EC software configuration tool, and then choose “service” from the Model 244EC software menu.

The Intermittent Sensor Detect feature is designed to guard against process temperature readings caused by intermittent open sensor conditions (an intermittent sensor condition is an open sensor condition that lasts less than 0.7 seconds). By default, the transmitter is shipped with the Intermittent Sensor Detect feature switched ON. In most applications, this is the preferred setting. The Intermittent Sensor Detect feature can be switched ON or OFF with the Model 244EC. The setting of this feature cannot be changed when using a Model 244E with version 5.5.1 software and a Model 244EC version 2.0 or earlier.

Implementation

Figure 3-4. Open Sensor Response

(Three Cases)

Transmitter Behavior with Intermittent Sensor Detect ON

When the Intermittent Sensor Detect feature is switched ON, the transmitter can eliminate the output pulse caused by intermittent open sensor conditions. Process temperature changes ( T) within 2% of the output range will be tracked normally by the transmitter’s output. A T greater than 2% of the output range will activate the intermittent sensor algorithm. True open sensor conditions will cause the transmitter to go into alarm.

Transmitter Behavior with Intermittent Sensor Detect OFF

When the Intermittent Sensor Detect feature is switched OFF, the transmitter tracks all process temperature changes, even if they are the consequence of an intermittent sensor. The output delay due to the intermittent sensor algorithm will be eliminated.

The Intermittent Sensor Detect feature can be turned ON or OFF using a Model 244E transmitter with software version 5.4.1 or earlier with the Model 244EC software configuration tool when the transmitter is connected to the Model 244EC Configurator.

Turning the Intermittent Sensor Detect feature OFF does not affect the time needed for the transmitter to output the correct alarm signal after detecting a true open sensor condition. However, the transmitter may briefly output a false temperature reading for less than 0.5 seconds in either direction (see Figure 3-4) up to100% of output range.

Ambient Temperature Effect	Transmitters can be installed in locations where the ambient
	temperature is between –40 and 85 °C (–40 and 185 °F). At the factory,
	each transmitter is individually characterized over this ambient
	temperate range. This special manufacturing technique is
	accomplished through hot and cold temperature profiling with
	individual adjustment factors programmed into each transmitter. The
	transmitters automatically adjust for component temperature drift
	caused by changing environmental conditions.
