1. GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The 3014X Electromagnetic transmitter is an ATEX certified EM transmitter that can be used
for pig tracking and location functions. The transmitter operates effectively in buried pipelines,
pipelines carrying gas and in pipeline bundles where acoustic transmitters are either less
effective or ineffective.
The transmitter emits a 21.8Hz signal and an inherent EM null spot is detectable when the EM
receiver antenna is at 90 degrees to and pointing at the centre of the transmitter allowing
centimetre accurate positioning of a pig.
The transmitter can be changed between two pulsing transmission rates via an easily
accessible slide switch inside the transmitter.
The transmitter is configured for use with Lithium batteries only. Lithium batteries provide a
significant improvement in battery lifetime and operation particularly at temperature extremes.
A non-ATEX version of the transmitter can be manufactured with specially designed endcaps
which allow fitting of pigging discs directly to the transmitter - the transmitter itself becomes
the pig body. This dramatically increases the received EM signal because it no longer needs to
propagate through an additional pig body as well as the pipeline.
Parameters such as lifetime, pulse rate, frequency, and output level can be customised during
manufacture, please contact Online Electronics Ltd for more details.

3.6. INSTALLATION
1. All EM transmitters will induce electrical currents in any conductive materials closely
surrounding them which can result in a severe reduction in signal strength and/or battery
lifetime. This effect can be minimised by reducing the amount of conducting material
surrounding the transmitter. Leave as much of the transmitter exposed as possible. Any
slits or apertures which can be made in the surrounding material will help. Use materials
with as high resistance as possible. Non-conducting materials such as plastics will not
suffer from this effect. EM transmitters must not be surrounded by low resistance metals
such as aluminium (including tubes or mounting clamps) under any circumstances.
2. Any magnetic material surrounding the transmitter will tend to block the EM signal from
the transmitter and reduce the received signal strength outside the pipeline. This effect can
be minimised by reducing the amount of magnetic material surrounding the transmitter.
Leave as much of the transmitter exposed as possible. Any slits or apertures which can be
made in the surrounding material will help. Use materials with as low magnetic
permeability as possible. Non-magnetic materials such as plastics will not suffer from this
effect.
3. The transmitter must be mounted in such a way that no movement or vibration
whatsoever is possible (e.g. clamped). If the transmitter is allowed to rattle and/or vibrate
within the pig then the resultant hammering effect can exceed the bump rating of the
transmitter leading to damage and/or failure. This is particularly important in gas pipelines.
For optimum performance the transmitter should be clamped inside a plastic pig body or
plastic guide discs should be clamped around the transmitter to form a pig. The advantage of
these methods is the fact that there is no metal around the transmitter apart from the pipeline
itself. Two alternative mounting arrangements are shown below. The first uses several lengths
of threaded studding to clamp the transmitter between two plates. The second uses a clamping
disc. The advantage of these arrangements is that they have limited amounts of metal around
the transmitter and will therefore have limited effect on the transmitter performance. Please
contact Online Electronics for further information and guidelines regarding EM transmitter
mounting and installation.
The table below shows the typical characteristics of several potential pig and mounting
materials with the best choice at the top, and the worst choice at the bottom. 316 stainless
steel provides a good balance of properties and cost. An aluminium alloy would be a very poor
choice because of the very low resistivity and should not be used under any circumstances.

3.7. BATTERY LIFETIME
The operating temperature which the transmitter is used at alters the operating lifetime.
Typically colder temperatures will shorten the stated lifetime as shown by the figure below.
Note that upon customer request, the transmitters can be adjusted at Online Electronics Ltd to
provide a stronger signal at the expense of lifetime or extended lifetime at the expense of
signal, contact Online Electronics Ltd for more details and to discuss your requirements.
In extreme circumstances the transmitter operating lifetime may be reduced by how the
transmitter is installed on a pig. For example, if it is installed inside an aluminium tube, the
operating lifetime may be reduced to as little as 50%. Refer to Section 3.6 INSTALLATION
within this manual for tips on how to achieve optimum performance from the transmitter with
regards to the mounting arrangement.

3.8. BATTERY REPLACEMENT
1. Familiarise yourself with all of the warnings given at the start of Section 3 OPERATION.
2. Using a 10mm AF Allen key loosen the bleed screw 3 full turns to release any internal
pressure and to turn the transmitter off. There is no need to fully remove the bleed screw.
If you do so it may be lost.
3. Using a 2.5mm AF Allen key fully unscrew the M5 locking grub screw on the BATTERY
ENDCAP. The grub screw may be screwed back in 3 turns to prevent it getting lost.
4. Using the supplied ENDCAP REMOVAL TOOL, fully remove the BATTERY ENDCAP.
5. Remove all ELECTROCHEM 3B0035-TC Lithium cells and the battery disc. Visually inspect
the batteries, contact Online Electronics Ltd immediately if there are any signs of damage
or electrolyte leakage. Dispose of the old batteries in a responsible way. Refer to section
3.9 LITHIUM BATTERY SAFETY for further guidance. Place the battery disc safely to one
side so it doesn’t get lost.
6. Observing the battery polarity shown in the figure below, insert 2x new ELECTROCHEM
3B0035-TC Lithium D cells into the battery compartment POSITIVE END first with a 3015X031 LIT BATTERY DISC between neighbouring cells. A total of 1x battery disc will be
required.
7. Once all batteries are installed ensure that it is the FLAT, NEGATIVE END of the batteries
which you see when looking into the open end of the transmitter.
8. Examine the O-ring seals for any signs of contamination or damage, replace and/or re-
grease if necessary.
9. Replace the BATTERY ENDCAP using the supplied ENDCAP REMOVAL TOOL. Do not use a
vice or spanner, it only needs to be hand tight. Damage may occur if over tightened.
10. Tighten the M5 grub screw (until the grub screw engages with the housing to lock the
BATTERY ENDCAP). Note that very little torque is required. Damage may occur if over
tightened.
11. Fully tighten the bleed screw to turn on the transmitter. Using an EM receiver, confirm
transmitter function and correct transmission rate.

3.9. LITHIUM BATTERY SAFETY
The information given in this section is for reference only. It should not be used in
place of appropriate local regulations or other legal requirements. Online Electronics
Ltd are not responsible for any incident that occurs due to misuse or abuse of their
products or misuse or abuse of lithium cells used by their products.
The batteries used in this transmitter have a very high energy density giving the transmitter a
superior lifetime. However, the same properties which result in a high energy density also
contribute to potential hazards if the energy is released at a fast, uncontrolled rate. With
proper use and handling, ELECTROCHEM cells have demonstrated an excellent safety record in
applications where safety and reliability is of utmost importance.
Because of the recognition of hazards associated with high energy density systems, safety has
been incorporated into the design and manufacture of ELECTROCHEM cells and the Online
Electronics Ltd transmitter. While the transmitter and cells have been designed to be tolerant
to adverse conditions, there are limitations. In particular, the transmitter and cells must be
protected from excessive heat and excessive mechanical abuse. The cells have warnings
printed on their label that cautions against the following conditions:
Short circuit
Charge
Forced over discharge
Excessive heating or incineration
Crush, puncture or disassembly
Rough handling or excessive shock and vibration
Not guarding against these conditions may result in a hot cell that could either vent or explode
at the instant of abuse, or, more typically, the cell shall heat up over a period of time and
subsequently vent or explode when its critical temperature is reached. Problems associated
with hazardous conditions can be greatly reduced by observing the following guidelines:
When handling the transmitter:
Never drop the transmitter. This may damage the cells inside. If dropped, the
cells should be replaced. During operation observe the shock and vibration limits given.
Never store or operate the transmitter outside its operating temperature range.
Always replace all batteries at the same time. Replace with NEW batteries from
the SAME batch. This will help to prevent over discharge of individual cells.
Always observe correct battery polarity when replacing batteries.
When handling loose cells:
Cover all metal work surfaces with an insulating material
The work area should be clean and free of sharp objects that could puncture the
insulating sleeve on each cell
Personnel handling cells should remove all jewellery that could come into contact
with battery terminals
Never stack or scatter loose cells. They should be placed in insulating carrying
trays with individual compartments for each cell.
Cells should be inspected for physical damage, possibly caused by dropping.
Cells with dented cases or terminal caps should be disposed of in a responsible manner.
Measure the Open Circuit Voltage (OCV) of cells. The nominal OCV is 3.9V. An
open circuit voltage of 0.0V is indicative of a blown internal fuse.
The cells must never be disassembled.
