General Notes

NOTE

Dear customer,

for reasons of clarity the instructions does not contain detailed information
about all types of products and cannot take into account every conceivable
case of installation, operation or maintenance.

If you require further information or should problems occur which are not
sufficiently explained in the instructions, you can consult your local Siemens
branch to obtain the necessary information.

May we also draw your attention to the fact that the contents of the opera­ting instructions are not part of a previous or existing agreement, approval or
legal relationship or an amendment thereof. All obligations of the Siemens
AG result from the contract of purchase which also contains the full and
solely valid warranty agreement. These contractual warranty conditions are
neither extended nor restricted by the contents of the operating instructions.

The contents reflect the technical state at the time of going to
print. Subject to technical modifications in the course of further
development.

Intrinsically safe devices lose their license as soon as they are operated on cir­cuits which do not meet the requirements of the examination certificate valid
in your country. The device may be operated with high pressure and corrosive
media. Therefore serious injuries and/or considerable material damage cannot
be ruled out in the event of improper handling of the device.

The equipment may only be used for the purposes specified in this
operating instructions.

Qualified Personnel

are persons familiar with the insallation, assembly, commisioning and ope­ration of the product and who have the appropriate qualifications for their
activities such as:
 training or instruction or authorization to operate and maintain devices/
systems according to the standard of safety technology for elecrical
circuits, high pressures and corrosive as well as hazardous media.

 for devices with explosion protection: training or instruction or authori­ zation to be allowed to work on electrical circuits for potentially explosive
systems.

 training or instruction according to the standards of safety engineering in
the care and use of suitable safety equipment.

Only trained qualified personnel shall execute this work.

Modules which are sensitive to electrostatic charge may be destroyed by
voltages which are far below the human level of perception. These voltages
occur already when you touch a component or electrical connections of a
module without first discharging yourself electrostatically. The damage in­curred by a module as a result of an overvoltage is not usually immediate­ly perceptible but only becomes noticeable after a long time in operation.
Therefore, a suitable equipotential bonding must be guaranteed when repai­ring the device.

Construction

The level sensor consists of a ceramic measuring cell (relative and absolute
pressure) with an amplified electronic and is adjusted in the requested pressu­re range. The sensor, the electronic and the connection cable are hermetically
encapsulated in a stainless steel case. The measuring diaphragm is protected
from outside influences by a protection cover. A venting pipe is included in the
connection cable for the relative version. The sensor, the electronic and the con­nection cable are placed in a hermetic encapsulated small case.
The wide temperature range of the level sensor is compensated.

Application

The Type 712 transmitter is used for hydrostatic measurement of liquid levels,
e.g. in water supply, ship installations, in the oil and gas industry etc.
The calculation of the temperature related to the power supply with NTC
resistance is as follows:

Mode of operation

The pressure of the medium acts on the keramic sensor which is deflected to
transmit the pressure to the piezo-resistive bridge in the measuring sensor.
Every sensor is compensated for changes in temperature and operates within
a wide temperature range.
The output signal of the sensor is fed to an electronic circuit which converts
it into a standard voltage and current output. The hydrostatic pressure which
is proportional to the submersion depth acts on the diaphragm of the sensor.
This pressure is compared with the atmospheric pressure which acts on the
other side of the sensor by means of the vent pipe in the connecting cable
(at relative pressure).

Installation

The level pressure transmitter
712 is installed hanging down­wards on the cable. In moving
media, the transmitter must
be fixed to prevent measuring
errors. This can be done with a
guide tube. Make sure that the
inlet openings on the protective
cap of the level pressure trans­mitter are not soiled in order to
guarantee perfect functioning.

Calibration

The transmitter has been calibrated to the measuring range at the factory and
cannot be re-calibrated.

Maintenance

The level transmitter requires no maintenance.

Operating conditions

The following points should be noted particularly when using the device:

 The maximum permissible pressure pmax of the transmitter may not be
exceeded.
 The temperature of the medium in contact with the transmitter may
not exceed 80ÀC.
 Avoid formation of ice on the process input of the transmitter because
this could damage the diaphragm.
 Prevent soiling of the transmitter input.
 Avoid obstruction to the vent pipes in the special cable (influences the
measuring accuracy).
