Section 1

INTRODUCTION

1.1 DESCRIPTION

Low Power Transmitter Interface Boards allow up to two (2) Bristol, Series 3508 or Series
3808 Transmitters to communicate with an ACCOL loaded host TeleFlow 3530-20B
Electronic Gas Measurement Computer (EGMC) or 3530-25B TeleRTU. The EGMC/RTU
polls and stores data from each transmitter and communicates with the network. Two
LEDS on the LPTI Board [CD (DS1) & RTS (DS2)] indicate the communication status.

The LPTI Board is housed in the TeleFlow Plus or TeleRTU Plus enclosure and is
interfaced to a TeleFlow I/O Expansion Board. LPTI Boards are powered by a 12V power
supply or battery. LPTI Boards contain one jumper (JP1) for configuration purposes.

The LPTI Board (Figure 1) is wired to the TeleFlow I/O Expansion Board connector (TB5)
and is mounted with Snap Track (holder) and Mounting Bracket as illustrated in Figure 2.

1.1.1 Transmitter Operation

3508 Series

Each Transmitter must be assigned a unique address via the SMARTKIT program as
described in Section 4.2 PROGRAM LOADING AND STARTUP
Transmitter manual. Additionally, all Transmitters wired to the TI Board must be operated
in the minimum current mode (3.8 mA). This mode is selected via the SMARTKIT program
as described in Section 4.7 TRANSMITTER OPERATING MODES
Transmitter manual, i.e., CI-3508-10C, CI-3508-30C or CI-3508-99C.

PIP-TIBS3530 Page 1 Transmitter Interface Bds.

3808 MVT Series

Each Model 3808 MVT Transmitter must be assigned a unique address via the WebBSI

On/Off Menu (see Section 3 of Customer Instruction Manual CI-3808). Additionally,

Sign
only analog versions of the 3808 MVT can be interfaced to a Transmitter Interface Board.

1.2 LED INDICATORS

The LPTIB contains two LEDs which have the following functions: Carrier Detect (CD) and
Request to Send (RTS). When the board is sending a Request To Send, LED DS2 (RTS) will
be ON and LED DS1 (CD) will be OFF. Conversely, when the LPTIB is receiving data from
a 3508/3808 Transmitter, LED DS2 (RTS) will be OFF and LED DS1 - Carrier Detect (CD)
will be ON.

1.3 JUMPER JP1

Jumper JP1 is used to configure the LPTIB for operation with one or two 3508/3808
Transmitters. If only one 3508/3808 Transmitter is to be connected to the LPTIB, Jumper
JP1 must be installed across JP1-1 and JP1-2. Additionally, when only one 3508/3808
Transmitter is to be connected to the LPTIB, it must be connected to connector TB1. When
two 3508/3808 Transmitters are connected to the LPTIB, Jumper JP1 must be removed and
stored in either JP1-1 or JP1-2.

2.1.2 Installation of the Low Power Transmitter Interface Board Option

1. Open the Instrument Front Cover.

2. If the unit in question already contains a Power Distribution Board, but only has one
Snap Track, the other Snap Track will have to be installed. This will require removal of
the two (2) #8-32x3/8” Pan Head Screws and the two (2) #8-32 Elastic locking Nuts
which secure the Power Distribution Board’s Snap Track to the Dual PCB Mounting
Bracket. Secure the second Snap Track to the Dual PCB Mounting Bracket as shown in
Figure 2 using two (2) #8-32 x 3/8” Pan Head Screws and two (2) #8-32 Elastic Locking

PIP-TIBS3530 Page 4 Transmitter Interface Bds.

Nuts. Configure the LPTIB for operation with one or two 3508/3808 Transmitters. If
only one 3508/3808 Transmitter is to be connected to the LPTIB, Jumper JP1 must be
installed across JP1-1 and JP1-2. Additionally, when only one 3508/3808 Transmitter is
to be connected to the LPTIB, it must be connected to connector TB1. When two
3508/3808 Transmitters are connected to the LPTIB, Jumper JP1 must be removed and
installed in JP1-1 or JP1-2. Slide the LPTI Board into the Snap Track (see Figure 2).

3. Connect power wiring (14 AWG) and RS-232 Interface wiring (20 to 14 AWG) to LPTIB.
Route field wiring cable(s) (20 to 14 AWG) associated with the LPTI Board into the
TeleFlow Plus or TeleRTU Plus through a ¾” conduit fitting (user installed) on the
bottom of the enclosure (see Figure 3). Connect Transmitter wiring to the appropriate
LPTI Board Terminal Connectors (TB1 and TB2) (see Section 2.2.1, Table 1 & Figure 4).

5. Close and Secure the Instrument Front Cover.

2.2 FIELD WIRING

The device uses compression-type terminals that accommodate up to #14 AWG wire. A
connection is made by inserting the bared end (1/4 inch Max.) into the clamp beneath the
screw and then securing the screw. Insert the bared end fully to prevent short circuits.

Allow some slack in the wires when making terminal connections. The slack makes the
connections more manageable and minimizes mechanical strain on the printed circuit
boards and harnesses.

2.2.1 Terminal Connections

LPTI Boards contain four terminal blocks that accommodate interface connections to the
3530-20B or 3530-25B, power and field wiring connections. TB1 & TB2 are two-position
Terminal Blocks, which connect to the signal/power inputs of the transmitters. Three­position Terminal Block (TB3) connects to the 3530-20B or 3530-25B power source. Five­position Terminal Block TB4 provides an RS-232 interface with the host 3530-20B/25B.

LPTI Boards may be connected to internally powered transmitters (see Figure 4). In the
case of an Internally Powered Transmitter (powered from LPTIB’s on-board +12V Sup­ply/Regulator) an external +12 Vdc power supply is wired to LPTI Board connector TB3 as
shown in Figure 4. The supply is wired across the +12VIN and +12VRET terminals. The
input voltage range is +10.8Vdcc to +16Vdc.

LPTIB’s are typically powered from the 3530’s power source (battery). Because of power
distribution restrictions (CPU Board connector wiring capacity), power is typically routed
through a Power Distribution Board (see Figures 5 & 6). Power Distribution Boards are
mounted to the 3530 in question using a Snap Track and Dual PCB Mounting Bracket
identical to the ones used for the LPTI Board and the Digital to Relay I/O Board options.
