Manual

3.0.2 Microprocessor Control Circuit
The control circuit is microprocessor based and is packaged as a plug-in field replaceable module, facilitating easy
replacement and minimum down time. Circuit functions include a basic sensor pre-amplifier, sensor temperature
control, on-board power supplies, microprocessor, back lit alpha numeric display, magnetic programming switches,
and a linear 4-20 mA DC output.
3.0.3 Base Connector Board
The base connector board is mounted in the explosion proof enclosure and includes: the mating connector for the
control circuit, reverse input and secondary transient suppression, input filter, and lugless terminals for field wiring.
3.0.4 Explosion Proof Enclosure
The sensors are packaged in a cast metal explosion proof enclosure. The enclosure is fitted with a threaded cover
that has a glass lens window. Magnetic program switches located behind the transmitter module face plate are acti-
vated through the lens window via a hand-held magnetic programming tool allowing non-intrusive operator inter-
face with the sensor. Calibration can be accomplished without removing the cover or declassifying the area.
Electrical classification is Class I; Groups B, C, D; Division 1.
