Quick Start Guide January 2022

2 Preparing for installation

Prerequisites

The Emerson Wireless Gateway should be installed and functioning properly
before commissioning the Rosemount ET310 and powering it with a BP20E
power module.

Note

Wireless devices should be powered up in order of proximity from the
Gateway, beginning with the closest device, then working outward from the
Gateway. This results in a simpler and faster network formation. Enable
Active Advertising on the Gateway to ensure new devices are able to join the
network faster. For more information, see the Emerson Wireless 1410S

Gateway.

Procedure

1. Identify the location where the sensor is to be installed.

2. Ensure all cladding and insulation is removed around the
circumference of the pipe at the sensor location.

The dimension drawing in Figure 2-1 provides guidance on how
much pipe should be exposed.

Note

Cladding or insulation can be replaced after the sensor installation is
completed, provided that the head of the sensor remains outside of
the insulation. Insulation materials can be installed around the sensor
as desired and according to local procedures.

A. Ring
B. Standard Shoe
C. Alternative Shoe

5. Carefully place the sensor in the required location on the pipe.

Quick Start Guide 11

Quick Start Guide January 2022

NOTICE

The magnets used in the sensors have a high pull force. To avoid
damage, and to get the precise location for each sensor, initially
place the sensor at an angle to the pipe and then gently lower the
shoe onto the pipe.

Tip

One person should hold the sensor until the strap is installed.

6. Feed the strap through the slot hole of the sensor and around the
pipe.

7. If there is an excessive length of spare strap, the excess may be cut
off. Lay the strap over the tensioner worm-drive and make the cut
just after the screw head.

12 Emerson.com/Rosemount

January 2022 Quick Start Guide

8. Feed the free end of the strap into the other end of the strap
tensioner. Using the flathead screwdriver or wrench and socket
provided, turn the screw on the tensioner until the end of the strap
emerges from under the worm drive (at least 5 turns of the work
screw is required).

Important

Quick Start Guide 13

Quick Start Guide January 2022

9. Position the strap tensioner so the strap (D) just touches the pipe (B)
between the sensor (A) and the strap tensioner (C).

Note

For examples of correct and incorrect installation, information for
pipes with different diameters and mounting multiple sensors on a
single strap, refer to Strap installation considerations.

14 Emerson.com/Rosemount

January 2022 Quick Start Guide

3.2 Strap installation considerations

Positioning on different sized pipes

The relative positions of the strap tensioner and sensor change depending
on the pipe diameter. On pipes with less than a 4-inch diameter, position the
sensor and tensioner on opposite sides of the pipe. The following figure
displays correct placement for different sized pipes.

A. Large pipes

B. Pipes > 4 inches diameter

C. Pipes < 4 inches diameter

Note

If there are obstructions that do not allow for the recommended strap
tensioner position relative to the sensor, then move the strap tensioner
away from the sensor to the closest accessible position.

Incorrect sensor installation

No contact area – sensor and tensioner are too close together.

Quick Start Guide 15

Quick Start Guide January 2022

Contact area too large – sensor and tensioner are too far apart.

Mounting multiple sensors

When mounting multiple sensors on a single strap, only one tensioner is
required. It is important to ensure the strap makes contact with the pipe
between each of the sensors and the tensioner.

A B

A. Correct positioning - strap is in contact with the pipe between the sensors and the
tensioner

B. Incorrect positioning - strap is not in contact with the pipe between the sensors
and the tensioner

16 Emerson.com/Rosemount

January 2022 Quick Start Guide

Use the following table below to determine the maximum number of
sensors that can share the same strap for a given pipe size.

Pipe size Pipe diameter

NPS 2 to NPS 9 NPS 10 to NPS 22 NPS 24 to NPS 36 NPS 40

Maximum
permitted
number of
sensors per
strap

1 2 3 4

Note

This also limits the locations you can mount multiple sensors on a pipe using
a single strap. If closer spacings are desired, multiple straps must be used.

3.3 Commissioning the sensor

Commissioning allows the sensor to securely join a designated network and
communicate with a gateway. The IK220 installation kit comes with a
commissioning interface (CC21) and a tablet PC with the Permasense
installation application installed. The CC21 provides an electronic interface
between the ET310 sensor and the tablet PC during commissioning.

The installation application software is used to

1. Provision the WiHART network configuration on the sensor.

2. Monitor the quality of the ultrasonic signal during mechanical
installation.

Both of these steps are required to complete the commissioning.

Note

All the sensors connected to the network and Gateway must have the same
network ID and Join Key.

Procedure

1. Power up the rugged tablet PC and connect the CC21 commissioning
interface to the tablet PC USB port.

Quick Start Guide 21

Quick Start Guide January 2022

NOTICE

When the worm-screws are tightened, the springs in the tensioner
are compressed. To avoid the strap becoming lose or over-tightened
when the pipe temperature changes, it is important that the spring is
set to the correct tension. Do not over-tighten the worm-screws.

7. Ensure the metal plate is centered through the plus (+) shaped cut­outs on both sides of the tensioner. If it is not centered, either loosen
or tighten the worm-screws on either side until they do align. Ensure
the sensor is firmly fixed and sitting perpendicular to the pipe as
shown in Figure 3-4.

8. When all the adjustments have been completed, make a final check
of the waveform quality (refer to Figure 3-3).

• If it is poor, slacken off the strap and adjust the sensor position

before returning to Step 3.

• If the waveform quality is good, continue to Step 9.

9. If there is an excessive length of spare strap, you may cut off the
excess length.
