Mechanical Detail

Maintenance

The SEM310 apparatus contains no user serviceable adjustable, replaceable parts. No attempt should be made to repair a SEM310 device,

all units must be returned to the manufacturer for repair or replacement. Attempted service or replacement of parts may invalidate the

warranty of the SEM310.

The SEM310 is mounted using two holes, on standard 33 mm fixing centres and will
fit a DIN standard termination head. The SEM310 must be installed with adequate

protection from moisture and corrosive atmospheres. Refer to conditions for use
section of this user guide for information on enclosure IP rating.

Care must be taken to ensure the SEM310 is located to ensure the ambient

temperature does not exceed the specified operating temperature.
A 6.3 mm hole is provided in the centre of the transmitter for sensor wires.
The sensor wires may also be fed on the outside of the transmitter.

Installation

For SEM310 specification please refer to product data sheet. Installation is normally performed in the following order. If the SEM310 has been
purchased as part of a probe assembly ,steps (1 to 3 ) will have been completed. The user may wish to reconfigure the transmitter range, in
this instance the SEM310 range can be changed on a completed probe assembly by following step 1.

1. Configuration

2. Mount Transmitter into head

3. Wire Sensor

4. Install Assembly

5. Wire (4 to 20) mA Loop

Factory default setting Sensor PT100 range (0 to 100) °C,

version of
USBSpeedLink

Once software is installed
remove protection cover from
device port , plug in USB Lead to
device ports and connect PC
using USB cable.

In USBSpeedLink software, select Model type from
“Field Product – In Head TX” menu.
For further information on configuration please open
the help menu on the product configuration screen.
On completion of configuration remove USB cable
and replace protective cover over socket.

1. Configuration

Note: - The SEM310 can be configured whilst connected and powered, but a portable battery powered computer must be
used to avoid the effects of ground loops if the (4 to 20) mA loop is grounded. This may damage the SEM310.

D2594-01-01 SEM310 User Guide Page 3 of 4

The main configuration is performed using the USB interface. The following parameters may be configured using the powerful USBSpeed link software tool,
which also provide operator diagnostics.
The following functions apply :-

2. Mount Transmitter into Head

The SEM310 is mounted using two holes, on standard 33 mm fixing centres and will fit a DIN standard termination head. The SEM310 must
be installed with adequate protection from moisture and corrosive atmospheres. Refer to conditions for use section of this user guide for
information on enclosure IP rating. A centre hole is provided in the SEM310 case, this allows for sensor wire to enter wiring section through
the SEM310 body.

SEM310 Hart Interface provides the user with the following functions :

Universal Command All universal commands are supported.

Common Practice commands 34 Write Damping Value

35 Write Range Values,
