CONTROL UNIT
FUNCTIONS
Standard functions
(Models 3491/3492/3493)
For a full guide to programming the Rosemount 3490 Series Control Unit, see
“Programming” on page 4-9.
Using either the input from a 4-20mA or HART transmitter, all models of the
3490 Control Unit will provide the following standard functions:
•Calculation and display of the 3490’s primary variable (PV).
The user can choose this to be the reading coming from the transmitter,
which may be any measurement. For example, the Rosemount 3100
Series of transmitters can measure the liquid level or distance-to-surface,
or calculate tank content or flow rate in an open channel structure
e.g. a flume or weir. A totaliser function is included.
The Control Unit is pre-programmed with standard volumetric and flow
equations to convert a level signal into contents or flow, and also has a
20-point user-programmable look-up table for non-standard applications.
•Output a 4-20mA signal.
The 4-20mA output is usually proportional to the displayed PV, and is
displayed in bargraph form (0% to 100%).
•Relay control functions.
There are five freely assignable relays. Relay 5 is a fault relay by default,
which may be assigned to control duty if required. The other relays are
available for the user to set them to operate at chosen values of the
displayed PV, or other calculated values.
Difference, sum and
product functions
(Model 3492)
Logging functions
(Model 3493)
The control unit is pre-programmed with a selection of popular pump
control routines for wet well and sump control, along with energy saving
overrides.
•Voltage-free (digital) contact close input.
Up to two voltage-free contact closure inputs may be connected, allowing
external override of control functions if desired.
•Programming a transmitter using the control unit
When a Rosemount 3100 or 3300 Series HART transmitter is connected,
the 3490 will recognize the transmitter, allow selection of variables to be
processed, and allow full access to and programming of the transmitter
configuration parameters, eliminating the need for any other HART
programming device.
Any other HART transmitter can be connected to the 3490 - in this case
the 3490 will recognize the transmitter as an "unknown instrument" and
will allow access to and programming of the Universal and Common
Practice HART commands.
Model 3492 has all the standard functions listed above, and extra functions
for calculating the difference, sum, or product of two separate inputs from
HART transmitters.
Model 3493 has all the standard functions listed above, and a 7000 event
logging facility.

Transmitter Connections
and Cabling
Connection of a transmitter to the control unit does not confer Intrinsic Safety
on the transmitter. It is the responsibility of the user to ensure any transmitter
installed in a hazardous area is suitable for use and certified accordingly. The
installation should be in accordance with a recognised code of practice.
Check the parameters of the installed system of control unit, transmitter, any
loop-powered devices, and interconnecting cable to ensure compliance with
the product certificates and technical data (Appendix A and Appendix B).
Particular attention must be given to the cable and the transmitter to ensure
that the total capacitance and inductance limits stated in the technical data in
Appendix B are not exceeded.
Cable joins are allowable in cabling the transmitter, provided that the joint is
made within an IP20/NEMA 3 (minimum) enclosure suitable for the
environment, and that wiring withstands a test voltage of 500V r.m.s. to earth.
The maximum length of cable permissible between the transmitter and control
unit is determined by limits imposed by the Intrinsic Safety certificates of the
instruments and Control Drawings.
No other outputs from the control unit must be routed through a hazardous
area unless protected by an additional I.S. Barrier (not supplied).
It is the responsibility of the user to ensure that any transmitter is installed in
accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions supplied with the transmitter.
Cable between the 3490 Series Control Unit and the transmitter should be
shielded twisted-pair with the shield connected to terminal 3 (marked with
earth symbol) on the 3490 Series Control Unit. The shield should be left
unconnected at the transmitter unless there is a terminal specifically provided
for this purpose.
Figure 3-4.
Loop-powered transmitter

Cable runs should be separate from any high voltage or mains cables to avoid
crosstalk or interference.
Multi-core cable may be used, provided that other cores carry only low
voltage (24V dc nominal) signals and each pair of cores is individually
shielded.
Loop-powered transmitters must be connected to terminals 1 - 3 (Figure 3-4).

Connecting HART
Transmitters to 3492
Figure 3-6. Connecting HART
transmitters to 3492
Model 3492 of the Rosemount 3490 Series takes the input from two HART
transmitters and will perform various calculations to create the sum,
difference, or product of the two inputs.
NOTE
The transmitters must be HART compatible for the 3492 to operate correctly.
Connection of the transmitters to the 3492 may be by cabling both transmitter
cables into the 3492 (Figure 3-6), or may be on a single cable with the two
transmitters connected to this cable via a suitable junction box (Figure 3-6).

For correct operation, each transmitter must be changed to “multi-drop” mode
so that they can communicate with the 3492 through a common connection.
Each transmitter must therefore have it’s poll address changed from the
factory default address of “0” to a unique address.

The 3492 is used to achieve this address change, but requires the
transmitters be connected in a specific sequence as detailed here:
a) With the power supply turned off, connect the first transmitter to
terminals 1-3 on the 3492.
b) Check that the power-selector-switch is set for the correct voltage
(115 or 230V ac) on the mains unit, and then turn the power on.
c) The 3492 will detect the transmitter and automatically change the poll
address of the transmitter from “0” to “1”. This transmitter will also be
automatically allocated to Channel 1 of the 3492.
Note that the 3492 may also offer the user the opportunity to set the
Bottom Reference of the transmitter at this point, which may be done or
ignored by pressing the ESC button.

d) Turn the power supply off and connect the second transmitter, either at
the same terminals 1-3 as the first transmitter or at the junction box, such
that both transmitters are now connected.
e) Turn the power supply on. The 3492 will once again search for and detect
connected transmitters. After the second transmitter is found, the 3492
will automatically change the poll address from “0” to “2”. The second
transmitter will also be automatically allocated to Channel 2 of the 3492.
Note that the 3492 may also offer the user the opportunity to set the
Bottom Reference of the transmitter at this point, which may be done or
ignored by press the ESC button.
Rosemount 3490 Series
Power ConnectionsIf the 3490 Series Control Unit is powered by mains AC power, select the AC
voltage as 115V or 230V using the voltage-selector slide switch.
If the 3490 Series Control Unit is DC powered, ensure the supply is adequate
(15 - 30V dc). Do not exceed 30V dc.
A switch or circuit breaker should be installed in close proximity to the
instrument, and labelled as such.
Although the 3490 Series Control Unit meets all European standards for
surge immunity on power and signal lines, it is recommended that lightning
suppressors, such as made by Telematic Limited, are fitted if local conditions
make this advisable.
Earthing ConnectionsThe IP-rated Rosemount 3490 Series of Control Units are double insulated
and DO NOT require a mains earth.
DO NOT connect a mains earth to terminal 30.
Terminal 30 is provided for use as an Intrinsically Safe (or functional) earth
connection, which MUST be used when a transmitter is mounted in a
hazardous area and is connected to terminals 1 and 2.
Terminal 3 is to be used for connection of the shield of the twisted-pair
transmitter cable when the 3490 Series Control Unit is powering the
transmitter (as in Figure 3-4 on page 3-9). Note that this shield should be left
unconnected at the transmitter end unless there is a terminal provided for this
purpose.
On the NEMA4X-rated Control Unit, protective earth cables must be
connected to at least one of the bonding points on the inside of the enclosure.
Bonding between conduit entries is not automatic and must be provided as
part of the installation.
When connected to equipment located in a hazardous area, not meeting the
requirements of clause 6.3.12 (Isolation of circuits from earth or frame) in IEC
60079-11:2006 (EN 60079-11:2007), equipotential earthing must be ensured
between the equipment and the intrinsically safe earth. An example of
equipotential earthing is a cable with a cross sectional area greater than
2
4mm
and a resistance of less than 1ohm.

Relay ConnectionsThe 5 voltage-free contact relays are grouped in the following configuration:
Table 3-3.
Relay configuration groups
3490 Series Control Unit (Wall Mount)3490 Series Control Unit (Panel Mount)
Relay 1 and 2 : Group 1Relay 1, 2 and 3 : Group 1
Relay 3 and 4 : Group 2Relay 4 and 5 : Group 2
Relay 5 - Group 3
The relay NO-COM-NC labels represent the relay terminals in the
de-energised state.
NOTE:
Whilst each relay is individually double-insulated, their arrangement is such
that the insulation between relays in the same group is standard or ‘basic’
insulation.
NOTE:
Care must be taken in order to avoid the risk of electric shock. It is
allowed to use relays in the same group to control circuits with both mains and
dc, or low voltage circuits.

The Current Output may be connected in internally-powered mode or
loop-powered mode, as shown in Figure 3-7.
In loop-powered mode, an external power source is required. A minimum of
2.5V is required across terminals 7 and 8 for correct operation. The external
voltage must not be more than 30V dc.
