Configurations

Configurations

Warning Installation must be in accordance with local and national

electric codes for the area classifications. ▲

Warning The source housing handle must be in the OFF position during
installation. ▲

Warning Do not reach inside the source housing at any time during
installation. ▲

Warning Use proper lifting procedures during installation to avoid
injury. ▲

The optimum gauge mounting configuration depends on the application;
however, the source head and the detector are typically mounted together
on the opposite sides of a pipe. The following mounting options are
supported for the gauge:

● Dual chain

● Pipe saddle (cradle) mount

● Pipe spool with gauge head pre-installed

The chain mount is the most frequently used mounting configuration, as it
allows the unit to be mounted on a range of pipe sizes using the same
mounting hardware.

Note Moving the gauge to a pipe with a different diameter may require
changing the radiation source size and/or reconfiguring the detector (ion
chamber) electronics. Contact Thermo Fisher for assistance. ▲

In addition to the guidelines listed earlier in this chapter, note the
following when planning gauge head installation.

● Whichever mounting configuration is used, it is important to align the

beam path (the centerline of the source housing) as closely as possible
with the centerline of the detector housing. Be sure to mount the gauge
head securely, since any movement or change in alignment can affect
the gauge’s calibration.

Thermo Fisher Scientific DensityPRO+ Installation Guide 3-7

Installation

The Gauge Head

● For best performance the beam must pass through a representative

cross-section of the process material being measured. The gauge
measures only the material that passes through the beam. Prevent
suspended solids from settling out of the measured area by mounting
the gauge head on a vertical section of pipe.

● For mounting on a horizontal pipe:

● Position the beam path at a 30- to 45-degree angle from vertical.

This position tends to average density variations caused by settling,
while reducing the effect of any trapped gases or solids that
accumulate in the top or bottom of the pipe.

● If the process material is a solution, a light slurry, or a single-phase

liquid that will not separate, the gauge head can be mounted such
that the beam is horizontal.

● If the process material is a slurry, position the gauge head as far as

possible from any elbows, tees, or valves (these tend to separate
suspended solids). Position the beam path in the plane of the upstream
elbow so the measurement includes any uneven distribution caused by
the fitting.

Optional RS485

Wiring

RS485 Termination

Connecting a PC serial port (COM) to the optional RS485 port on the
gauge requires an RS485/RS232 converter (p/n 670045). The J6 connector
on the transmitter CPU is for the RS485 connections. Refer to installation
wiring drawing 868680-2 and make the RS485 connections as follows.

1. Connect +DATA and –DATA on the RS485 connector (J6) to the

corresponding connections on the RS485/RS232 converter.

2. Connect the RS485/RS232 converter to the PC using a standard DB9

serial cable.

If you are having trouble using another device on the RS485 chain, verify
that it is properly terminated for its position on the chain. To terminate a
device, connect a 120  resistor between its RS485 +/– data terminals.
Never terminate more than the first and last device in the chain.

The transmitter includes a three-pin header (W4), located near the bottom­front edge of the CPU board next to the RS485 connector (J6), to
terminate the RS485 connection.

RS232 Wiring

For a single unit installation or for a multiple unit installation where the
transmitter is the last unit in line, the W4 jumper should be placed on pins
1 and 2 to terminate the RS485 line.

For a multiple unit installation where the transmitter is the not last unit in
line, the W4 jumper should be placed on pins 2 and 3 so that the RS485
line is not terminated at the transmitter.

COM1 or COM2 on a PC can be connected directly to the transmitter
RS232 port. This connection requires five wires: ground, TX, RX, RTS,
and CTS. The RS232 port connector (J8) is located on the transmitter
CPU board. Connections for standard DB9 and DB25 PC serial port
connectors are listed in the table below.
