SUPERIOR REPUTATION FOR DEPENDABILITY AND QUALITY


IPS introduced magnetic flow measurement systems to the process industries in 1954, and has demonstrated the broadest and most time-proven application expertise with thousands of successful installations.

The 4 to 20 Analog Output Signal can be configured to operate in one of four ways: unidirectional (single range), unidirectional (multiple range), bidirectional, and bidirectional split range. The transmitter can be programmed for up to three different flow ranges for unidirectional flow. For bidirectional flow, the user can input a separate flow range for the forward and reverse flow directions. Alternatively, the output can be programmed, as a bidirectional split range, where 12 mA represents zero flow, 4 mA represents the reverse flow upper range value, and 20 mA represents the forward flow upper range value. The analog output can be internally or externally powered, and is independently isolated. A digital signal is superimposed on the analog signal for remote communications. The 1200 baud HART signal permits simultaneous use of the analog output. The superimposed FSK signal has a 600 baud transmission rate using the FoxCom protocol. The analog output signal is not available simultaneously with the FoxCom high baud (4800) digital output signal. The Pulse Output can be configured for scaled pulse or frequency mode. It is independently isolated from fluid ground and can be internally or externally powered. Frequency mode would be selected (for example) to drive an external rate meter. Maximum output frequency is selectable between 1000 and 10 000 Hz. Scaled pulse mode would be selected (for example) to drive an external totalizer. Maximum output frequencies of 10 and 100 Hz are available. The pulse output is available simultaneously with either the analog or digital output signal.

A SELECTION OF OUTPUT SIGNALS


The Model IMT25 Transmitter provides digital, analog, and pulse output signals, as described below. The Digital Output Signal utilizes either HART or FoxCom communication protocol (see PSS 1-6F5 B for FOUNDATION Fieldbus Protocol). This signal allows remote communications and configuration. The 1200 baud HART digital output allows remote communications with the HART Communicator. Alternatively, FoxCom can be performed using an I/A Series System Workstation or a PC-based Configurator at any point in the loop. The FoxCom output signal has a 4800 baud transmission rate.

PSS 1-6F5 A Page 3

MULTIPLE PACKAGING CONFIGURATIONS


The IMT25 enclosure accommodates all of the electronics and terminations in a single compartment. An optional second enclosure, attached to the primary enclosure, is offered for users who require the wiring terminals to be isolated and sealed from the electronics compartment. The transmitter can be used as a remote-mounted transmitter, or can be integrally mounted to an 8000A or 9300A Series Flowtube as an integral and complete magnetic flow system. See Figure 1.

CONTACT INPUTS AND CONTACT OUTPUTS


Transmitter can accept two contact closure inputs. The function(s) of these inputs are programmable, and allow the user to perform transmitter functions from a remote location. Some functions of these inputs include: selection of flow range, resetting totals, and acknowledging alarms. (Both contacts must be used for multiple range service.) The transmitter also provides two contact (relay) outputs with programmable functionality. These outputs can be used to indicate reverse flow, alarm conditions (i.e., high flow rate, low flow rate, or high flow totals), and/or diagnostic alarms.

ON-LINE DIAGNOSTICS WITH HELP FUNCTION


While in the RUN mode, the IMT25 continuously performs many internal diagnostic functions. The display automatically indicates any diagnostic condition that is detected, and can actually be programmed to blink for a diagnostic error, thus easily drawing the attention of floor personnel. In addition, the IMT25 can be programmed to energize one or both of the alarm relays for a diagnostic error. Diagnostic Error messages are displayed in clear text. Each error has an associated help message that can be displayed by pressing the HELP button whenever the diagnostic prompt appears. The diagnostic help message gives the user more detailed information on the potential problem, as well as potential trouble shooting techniques to eliminate the problem.

COMPATIBILITY WITH MANY FLOWTUBES


This Intelligent Transmitter can be used with Models 8300, 8000A, 9100A, 9200A, and 9300A Flowtubes. It can also be used with existing Models 2800 and 8000 Flowtubes. This provides an advanced microprocessor-based, dc-pulsed magnetic flow system (and corresponding features) regardless of the Foxboro Flowtube Model used.

LOW POWER CONSUMPTION


The transmitter can accept either 85 to 264 V ac or 24 V dc power. With either supply, the power consumption is less than 24 watts.

the keypad (see Table 1). The user, starting in the first row, scrolls to visit all the menu blocks in that row and provides the needed information. He continues this process to the other rows until all required functions have been configured. This versatile instrument provides many different functions. Simple applications that require (e.g. only 3 menu blocks) can be configured in a few minutes. The transmitter is easy to configure because easy-toread prompts and icons have been preprogrammed to assist the first time user. All menu blocks have help messages that clearly tell the user what information is required in that block, and how to enter it. The help message can be displayed by depressing the HELP key whenever the prompt for that block appears. These messages are like having the instruction book programmed into the memory of the unit.

CALIBRATION
All transmitters are factory-calibrated to their specified accuracy with calibration equipment traceable to U.S. National Institute of Science and Technology (NIST).

AUTOMATIC OR MANUAL ZERO LOCK


Automatic or Manual Zero Lock can be used to lock all rate outputs at zero percent (zero flow) and freeze all totals. The display indicates when the zero lock is activated. In Manual mode, the zero lock can be activated/deactivated at any time by an external contact closure supplied by the user. In the Automatic mode, it can be used to issue an alarm and/or lock all outputs when an increase in electrode impedance is detected, such as can occur when a pipe is empty.

FRONT PANEL OPTIONS


A display/keypad, a protective cover with a clear plastic window guard, and an I/O access port with cover are front panel options. See Figure 2. The display consists of a 2-line, 16 characters per line, back-lighted LCD indicator. The characters are 10 mm (0.4 in) high and can indicate positive total, negative total, net total, net inventory total, and rate in conventional flow units. A + or indicates flow direction. The keypad has five keys as previously described in Table 1. This front panel option allows the transmitter to be used as a stand-alone unit and gives the user complete operation and configuration capabilities. The cover with a clear plastic window protects the display/keypad during washdown operations and prevents inadvertent activation of the buttons by the washdown stream. However, the front panel is protected to NEMA 4X even without the cover.

The circular I/O access port has a cover integrally connected to the panel to prevent misplacement or loss. Loosening a screw on the cover provides access to two banana plug sockets. These sockets allow direct connection to either HART or FoxCom digital signal. This option negates the need to remove the housing cover to access the above terminals.

Diagnostics and Alarms


The transmitter provides internal diagnostics and configurable alarm functions (low flow, high flow, and high totals). The display automatically indicates any existing diagnostic or alarm condition. The relay outputs can be configured to activate on an alarm or diagnostic condition to provide remote indication of such events. Also, the analog output can be configured to go upscale, downscale, or remain active when an alarm condition exists. For diagnostic conditions, the analog output can be configured to go downscale or upscale. Diagnostics and alarms are also communicated via the Digital Output.

Digital Communications
The transmitter communicates bidirectionally over the field wiring to the PC-based Configurator or the HART Communicator (installed anywhere in a Division 2 area along the 4 to 20 mA loop). The FoxCom version also allows communication to a Foxboro PC-based Configurator, and/or the I/A Series System. Using the local display/keypad, or digital communications, the functions that can be performed are: Display/Reconfigure Measurement Information
Flow Rate in EGUs Flow Rate in % of URV Flow Direction Forward, Reverse, Net, and Grand Total Flow Rate Damping Meter Factor (Calibration Factor)

Communications Format
Both HART and FoxCom protocols are based upon the FSK (Frequency Shift Keying) technique. The FSK tones are superimposed on the transmitter 4 to 20 mA output leads. Communication between the external configurator and the transmitter does not disturb the output signal. See paragraphs below.

HART AND FoxCom 4 to 20 mA OUTPUT


The transmitter sends its measurement to the loop as a continuous 4 to 20 mA dc signal. This version communicates with the external configurator at distances up to 1800 m (6000 ft). The Digital, 4 to 20 mA, and Pulse Outputs are each updated 10 times/second. The maximum scan frequency for the Digital Output depends upon the baud rate.

HART MULTIDROP COMMUNICATIONS MODE


Either point-to-point (one transmitter) or multidropping is permitted. Multidropping is the connection of several transmitters to a single communications line. Communication between the host computer and transmitters occurs digitally with analog output of transmitter deactivated. With HART communications protocol, up to fifteen transmitters can be connected on a single twisted pair of wires or over leased telephone lines. The maximum cable length conforms to the HART Physical Layer Specification and will vary according to the characteristics of the individual transmitters in a multidrop environment.

Transmitter Enclosure
The standard enclosure is a single compartment design which houses the electronics, power supply, and all field terminations. Provisions for four standard conduit/cable access holes (nonthreaded holes) are sized to accept 1/2 NPS or M20 fittings. These standard holes are located as indicated in the Dimensions Nominal section. Two or four optional conduit/cable access holes can also be provided as indicated in the Optional Selections and Accessories section. The enclosure compartment is protected with a front gasketed cover which seals the unit. Upon removing the cover, a lanyard attached to both inside surfaces (of the cover and enclosure) retains the cover, thereby eliminating the misplacing or otherwise damaging of the cover assembly. This cast aluminum enclosure is weatherproof as defined by IEC IP66, and provides the watertight and corrosion resistant protection of NEMA Type 4X. Refer to the Optional Selections section for information relating to a dual compartment enclosure that separates the field terminals from all other transmitter electronics.

Transmitter Mounting
PIPE MOUNTING Two integrally cast flanges at the top and bottom rear of the enclosure, together with a kit of stainless steel parts (by Foxboro), are used for mounting transmitter to a DIN 50 or 2 in pipe. SURFACE MOUNTING The two integral flanges used for pipe mounting can also be used to secure the transmitter to a wall or surface. FLOWTUBE MOUNTING This type of mounting is only applicable to transmitters used with 8000A and 9300A Series Flowtubes. In these installations, the transmitter is secured to the top surface of the flowtube using a mounting bracket and gasket seal.

Mounting Position
The transmitter can be mounted in any position without degrading performance. The front cover of the transmitter housing can be rotated in 90 increments to allow easy viewing of the display for any installation orientation.

Option -A: I/O Access Port and Cover


An I/O access port and cover allow access to two banana plugs that are provided for connection to the hand-held terminals or PC-based configurators. The access port cover not only protects the terminals from the environment, but is also marked to identify terminal functions. The cover is integrally attached to the front panel, thus preventing misplacement and loss of the cover when removed. Specify Optional Selection -A.

Foxboro Signal Cable


For Remote-Mounted Transmitter only. Two-core (two-conductor), multiscreened (multi-shielded) cable with two driven screens (shields). Maximum length is 300 m (1000 ft). If expressing length in feet, order Part Number R0101ZS. If length units are metres, order Part Number B4017TE. Refer to Table 2 for recommended installation of this cable.

Option -B: Protective Cover for Display and Keypad Panel


This hinged clear plastic cover protects the front panel display and keypad. The cover protects against inadvertent manipulation of the keys, and allows for hose downs of the transmitter housing. Specify Optional Selection -B.

Conduit/Cable Access Holes


As stated previously, four conduit/cable access holes are provided standard with the transmitter. Also, either two or four additional holes can be provided as shown and described in Figure 6 and the table below,
If You Specify ECEP 14357-A ECEP 14357-B ECEP 14357-C Then Added Holes Are Provided at Locations 4 and 6 Locations 7 and 8 Locations 4, 6, 7, and 8

Option -C and -D: Dual Compartment Enclosure


An optional secondary enclosure is available for those installations which require a sealed separation between the electronics and the field terminations. With this option, a separate field terminals compartment is provided which is sealed and separated from the primary electronics compartment. Therefore, all field terminations can be made by simply removing the terminations compartment cover without having to expose the electronics to the environment. The terminal strips contained in the secondary housing allow for easy wiring, installation, and replacement. Specify Optional Selection -C for a secondary housing with top insertion type terminal block, or Optional Selection -D for a secondary housing with lug type terminal block.
