2 Wireless considerations

Power up sequence

The Emerson Wireless Gateway should be installed and functioning properly
before any wireless devices are powered. Commission the Rosemount
Wireless Permasense WT210 and install the BP20E power module to power
the device only after the gateway has been installed and functioning. This
results in a simpler and faster network installation. Enabling active
advertising on the Gateway ensures new devices are able to join the network
faster. For more information see the Emerson Wireless 1420 Gateway

Reference Manual.

Antenna position

The antenna is internal to the Rosemount Wireless Permasense WT210
transmitter. The antenna should also be approximately 3 ft. (1 m) from any
large structure, building, or conductive surface to allow for clear
communication to other devices.

4 Physical installation

The corrosion transmitter is connected directly to the piping being
measured.

Mounting considerations

Procedure

1. When mounting sensors on pipe bends and elbows, studs must be
aligned as follows

a) Fit two nuts to the stud, the first at the top of the thread and

the second 15-20 mm down the thread as shown in Figure

4-1.

b) Use M13 deep hex socket with extension bar to bring the

studs parallel to each other and perpendicular to the pipe
surface at the center point between the two studs.

c) Correct stud alignment will ensure the correct orientation of

the nut and washer with respect to the sensor foot.

Figure 4-1: Orientation

2. Observe the sensor contact from the side. As shown in the following
illustrations, check that:

a) Sensor feet are parallel to the pipe surface.

b) Studs are perpendicular to the pipe surface.

c) Sensor tip is in the middle of the two studs.

Figure 4-2: Improper Installations of the Metal Standoffs

4.1 Mounting

For pipe clamp mounting, see clamp installation guide.

Procedure

1. On painted pipe-work, remove a singular patch of the coating about
1-in. (25 mm) diameter midway between the studs to allow
waveguides to contact pipe directly.

2. On straight pipes, ensure the studs are perpendicular to the sensor
contact point.

3. Apply Loctite® 8009 anti-seize compound to the threads.

4. Record the installation location, sensor ID, MAC address of the
sensor, and power module serial number.

December 2020 Quick Start Guide

5. Examine the thermocouple and make sure it is protruding past the
end of the waveguide by about ⅛-in. (3 mm) so that it will press onto
the pipe when the sensor is tightened as shown in Figure 4-3.

Figure 4-3: Thermocouple Guidelines

Correct Incorrect

6. Locate and place the WT210 sensor over the studs, ensuring the
waveguides are positioned centrally to ±-0.2-in. (5 mm).

7. Place washers over the studs.

8. Thread nut onto the studs and run them down several threads.

9. Carefully secure the sensor in this position by finger tightening each
nut after observing the sensor in Figure 4-4.

December 2020 Quick Start Guide

CAUTION

Overtightening

Overtightening the nuts can damage the waveguides.

Torque wrench setting value of 5 Nm (3.7 ft-lb) and ensure nuts are
ONLY tightened incrementally as described below.

6. Tighten nuts ¼ turn at a time.
a) Check the quality of the waveform with each turn as shown in

Figure 5-2.

b) If the amplitude stops increasing with each turn, stop

tightening. The sensor could be misaligned. Loosen the nuts
and realign sensor, starting again.

7. Continue tightening the nuts to 5 Nm. Once 5 Nm has been reached:
a) Check that the surface wave is not distorted. If it is, the sensor

could be misaligned. Loosen the nuts and realign sensor,
starting again from Step 6 .

b) Check that the surface wave is not significantly bigger or

smaller than the back wall reflection*. If it is, loosen the
sensor, reposition and go back to the start. The sensor could
either be too tight, or the inner surface of the pipe is too
rough to achieve a strong reflection.

8. If the above conditions have been met, and the waveform amplitude

is above 40 mV, this is a good installation as shown in Figure 5-3. The
waveform is good quality and there is sufficient torque to secure the
sensor to the pipe.

9. If 5 Nm has been reached but the waveform amplitude is only

between 20 and 40 mV, set the torque wrench to 8 Nm and continue
turning the nuts. With each ¼ turn, check that the surface wave does
not become distorted or is not significantly bigger or smaller than
the back wall reflection*.

a) If the amplitude does not increase with successive turning of

the nuts, finish here. The sensor should not be tightened
further, to avoid overtightening and damaging the
waveguide tips. This is a good installation.

b) If 8 Nm has been reached, finish here. Maximum torque has

been reached. This is a good installation.

10. If the amplitude remains below 20 mV as shown in Figure 5-4, loosen
the nuts and realign sensor, starting again from step Step 6.
