1. About this manual
1.1 What this manual tells you
This manual tells you how to install, configure, operate, and service the instrument. In addition, some information
is given to help you identify and correct some of the more common faults which may occur. However, since
repairs are done by changing suspected faulty assemblies, fault-finding to board component level is not covered.
This manual assumes that all devices or peripherals to be connected to the 795x have their own documentatio n
which tells you how to install and configure them. For this reason it is assumed that anything which you want to
link to the 795x is already installed and working correctly in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
Since the instrument can be used for a wide variety of purposes, it is driven by software specially for your application.
This manual gives information about the so ftw are which applie s to y our machine only .
Throughout this manual the term '795x' is used to refer to all members of the 795x family (7950, 795 1, and 7955).
Chapter 1 About this manual
1.2 Who should use this manual
This manual is for anyone who installs, uses, services or repairs the 795x.
1.3 Software version covered by this manual
The software version dealt with in this manual is given on the title page. Chapter 3 tells you about the software is
installed in your instrument.

2. Getting started
2.1 What this chapter tells you
If you are new to the 7951, the worked examples in this chapter can help you to become familiar with the
installation and configuration procedures. The examples are:
• 7951 with a 7826, 7835, 7845, or 7847 liquid density transducer (see page 2.2).
• 7951 with a 7827 viscometer (see page 2.5).
Work through whichever one is most like your installation. Section 2.6 provides details of connections required
for the relay output and the digital (status) outputs.
2.2 What the examples show you
Each example shows you how to:
• Wire up a simple system in a non-hazardous area.
• Set the DIP-switches inside the 7951.
• Find the menu from which you start configuration.
• Clear the memory of details of any existing configuration (OPTIONAL).
• Select the appropriate wizard to configure the simple system.
• Work through the wizard and input information.
• View the results of your configuration.
The examples do not give full instructions on how to fit and configure installations. They are intended purely to
give you confidence to install and configure your own equipment. Chapter 4 tells you how to make permanent
installations.
Chapter 2 Getting started
2.3 If you need help...
If you get into difficulties...
If you get into difficulties when using the wizards, you can abandon the configuration and start again as follows:
1. From the menu, keep selecting NO (usually by pressing the c-button) or, if that option is not available:
2. Press the ENTER button until you can start selecting NO.
3. Carry on with (1) and (2) until you return to the wizard selection menu where you started.

4. Installing the system
4.1 What this chapter tells you
This chapter gives full instructions for installing the 7951.
It does not go into detail about how to install any peri phe ra l devices (such as transducers, computers or printers) which
are connected to the 7951. For this information you must re fer to the do cumen tation sup plied w ith th ese items.
4.2 Hazardous and non-hazardous environments
Caution:
Always refer to documentation supplied by the manufacturer for details of installing their equipment in a
hazardous area. The 7951 is neither intrinsically safe nor explosion-proof. and can therefore only be used in a designated non-hazardous (safe) area.
If all or part of an installation is in an area where there is the risk of fire or explosion (which is almost always the
case when gases are involved), then safety barriers or galvanic isolators usually have to be wired into the
circuit. However, some instruments are explosion-proof and barriers are not, therefore, needed.
Chapter 4 Installing the system
4.3 Installation procedure
Briefly, the procedure is:
Step 1: Draw up a wiring schedule.
Step 2: Unpack the 7951.
Step 3: Set the DIP switches.
Step 4: Fit the 7951.
Step 5: Make all external connections.
Step 6: Earth the installation.
Step 7: Connect power supply.
The steps in the procedure are explained in the following sections.
4.4 Step 1: Drawing up a wiring schedule
Before you make any connections, you must draw up a wiring schedule to help you identify wiring colours and
make sure that you do not connect more items of any given type than are allowed. (If you are in doubt, check
the specification in Appendix C.)
A blank copy of a wiring schedule is given in Appendix B.
Page 4.1
Chapter 4 Installing the system
4.5 Step 2: Unpacking the instrument
Remove the instrument from its packing and examine it to see if any items are loose or if it has been damaged in
transit. Check that all items on the shipping list are present. If any items are missing or if the equipment is
damaged, contact your supplier immediately for further advice.
Note: If you have ordered an option card, this is already installed in the 7951.
Table 4.1: What should be supplied with the 7951 (Klippon)
Some types of connection may require DIP-switches to be set.
4.6.1 Analogue Input DP-switches
The 7951 has two blocks of DIP-switches on the Processor Board, as shown in Figure 4.1:
•SW1 switches
– select whether each input is 4-20 mA or PRT.
Chapter 4 Installing the system
• SW2 switches
– not used in the current version of 7951.
The setting of each switch in the SW2 block must be the same as the corresponding pair of switches in the
SW1 block. The 7951 may not work correctly otherwise.
The 7951 is supplied with the DIP-switches in these default settings:
• Input 1 PRT
• Inputs 2-4: 4-20mA

If you want to change the Analog Input switch settings, you must also configure the inputs. This is explained in
chapter 11. After the configuration has been completed, the 7951 should be switched into the 'secure' mode to
prevent unauthorised or accidental tampering with the instrument's configuration.
Note:
• The 7951 is always shipped from the factory with the security lock on the front panel set to the
‘non-secure’ mode.
4.6.2 Turbine Voltage Selection switches
The Turbine Voltage Selection switch is a DIP switch on the PSU Board, which is accessible through removal of
parts (see Chapter 14). Choose between 8 volts dc or 16 volts dc for all flow meters powered by the 7951.
The 7951 is shipped with the switch set for 8 volts dc.
For flow meter connection details, see chapter 2.

4.7 Step 4: Fitting the 7951
Caution:
You must not fit the 7951 where it may be subjected to extreme conditions or be liable to damage.
For further information about the environmental conditions within which it can operate, see
Appendix C.
1. Firstly, referring to Figure 4.4.2, cut out an aperture in the front panel for each instrument which is to be
mounted on it.

You can mount the clamp so that it is fixed permanently or can be removed later, if required. If you want the clamp to
be fixed permanently, carry out Steps 3 - 8. If you want to be able to remove the clamp, carry out Steps 9 - 12.
If the clamp is to be fixed permanently:
1. Make sure that the face of the front panel is in good condition and has no loose or flaking paint. Use a
suitable de-greasing agent to clean the face of the panel.
2. Insert the location moulding through the aperture in the front panel.
3. Peel the protective strip off the adhesive tape on the face of the mounting clamp. Then, working from the
back of the front panel, carefully position the clamp over the location moulding. The clamp and pan el bond
on contact.
4. Press firmly on the area where the clamp is bonded to the front panel to ensure that they are bonded firmly.
Remove the Location Moulding and discard it.
5. Slide the instrument through the front panel. Tighten the two captive screws to secure it into the clamp.
6. Finally, attach all connectors to the back panel.
Note that, if you install more than one instrument, it helps to support them if you use a Mounting Strap to link
each clamp to the next one, as shown in Figure 4.5:

Chapter 4 Installing the system
4.8 Step 5: Making the external connections
1. Refer to the documentation supplied with the external equipment to see if it is necessary to carry out any
special procedures when connecting them to the 7951. Take special notice of any information about safet y
requirements in hazardous areas, and complying with EMC regulations.
To meet the EC Directive for EMC (Electromagnetic Compatibility), it is recommended that the Flow Computer
be connected to transducers using a suitable instrumentation cable containing individually shielded twisted pairs
and an overall screen to cover all cores.
The instrumentation cables should have individual screen(s), foil or braid over each twisted pair and an
overall screen to cover all cores. Where permissible and depending on the earthing scheme employed at the
installation, the overall screen should be connected to the earthed metal work at both ends. (360° bonding
where possible). This may have multiple protective earth connections to the pipe work or the building
structure and not connected to the individual screen(s) or Instrumentation or Zener barrier grounds.
The individual inner screen(s) should be connected at one end only, normally the controller
(e.g. Flow Computer) end. These should be connected to the Instrumentation or Zener barrier ground.
Use suitable cables that meet BS5308 multi-pair Instrumentation Types 1 or 2.
2. For each D-type connector, pass the connector hood over the cable and wire up the connector. Secure the
hood and connector body together then connect the earth wire to the hood. Stick an identifying label on to
the connector hood.
3. For each Klippon connector, wire up the connector then stick an identifying label on it.
4. Check the wiring thoroughly against the schedule and wiring diagram.
5. Attach all connectors to the Rear Panel.
Refer to Chapter 2 and Appendix C for examples of field transmitter connections and a full list of the 7951’s pin identities.
4.9 Step 6: Earthing the instrument
Caution: Incorrect earthing can cause many problems, so you mu st earth the chassis and the
electronics correctly. The way in which you do this depends almost entirely on the type of
installation you have and the conditions under which it operates. Therefore, because these
instructions cannot cover every possible situation, the manufacturers recommend that
earthing procedures should only be carried out by personnel who are skilled in such work.
The chassis of the 7951 must be earthed in all cases; both for safety reasons and to ensure that the installation
complies with EMC regulations. Do this by connecting an earth lead from the stud on the rear panel (Figure 4.6) to
a local safety earth such as a cabinet earth or some other suitable metal structure. If there is more than one 7951,
see Figure 4.7 for correct and incorrect methods.
In addition to earthing the chassis, you may have to make extra earth connections in some cases, depending on
the installation requirements. Details of internal earthing arrangements are in Appendix C.
