AccuLoad III to IV Upgrade Manual for S and Q Models for S and Q Models

Introduction
This manual provides installation instructions for the AccuLoad III to IV Upgrade Kits,
Models ALIV-ST-UG3 and ALIV-QT-UG3. These kits replace all of the electronics of the
AccuLoad III S and Q creating units equivalent to the AccuLoad IV ST and QT models.
Using the upgrade kits reduces the time and expense required to gain the advantages
of the new electronics by leaving the field wiring and the back half of the enclosure in-
tact. The new AccuLoad IV circuit boards and front cover fit to the existing rear housing
exactly as the AccuLoad III counterparts and the field wiring plugs directly into the new
boards with minimal modification.

Electrical Safety Regulatory Requirements

It is imperative that this upgrade procedure be performed by a competent individual that
is familiar with associated risks involved with the installation, operation, and mainte-
nance, of electrical equipment in hazardous (classified) locations. This individual must
possess knowledge of local, national electrical codes, and/or ordinances concerned
with hazardous location safety requirements. Part of this procedure involves a critical
assessment of the suitability of the flame paths of the existing enclosure for continued
use. It is recommended (may be required in some jurisdictions) that the final installa-
tion should be verified / inspected by the authority having jurisdiction before placing the
equipment back into service.
Electrical installations in hazardous areas have features specifically designed to make
them suitable for use in such locations and it is the operator’s responsibility to maintain
the integrity of those special features. UL/CUL Note: "Repair upgrade kits are not per-
mitted to be installed in Class II (Explosive Dust) hazardous locations" as the kit was
not evaluated for this atmosphere.
The operator must ensure that electrical equipment is:
• Installed and operated correctly
• Monitored on a regular basis
• Maintained with due regard to safety

For ATEX and IECEx Installations

• Installation/inspection/maintenance/repair/overhaul/reclamation of AccuLoad in
the European Union must be performed by qualified personnel in accordance with
the applicable requirements of EN 60079-14, EN 60079-17, and EN 60079-19 in
addition to all local codes/regulations.
• Installation/inspection/maintenance/repair/overhaul/reclamation of AccuLoads
relying upon the IECEx certification must be performed by qualified personnel in
accordance with the applicable requirements of IEC 60079-14, IEC 60079-17, and
IEC 60079-19 as required by local codes/regulations.
• Guidance for Ex protected equipment is provided by EN/IEC 60079-14: “Electrical
installations design, selection and erection”
• Guidance for equipment inspection and maintenance is provided by EN/IEC
60079-17: “Electrical Apparatus for explosive gas atmospheres, “Inspection and
maintenance of electrical installations in hazardous areas” and this guidance should
be utilized for the inspection / maintenance process.
• Cable entries must be in accordance to EN/IEC 60079-1 section 13.
• For wiring systems utilizing cable glands, the gland and or thread adaptor must be
Ex d certified and the cable end must be securely installed and be properly protected
from mechanical damage.

Issue/Rev. 0.0 (4/17) ║ MN06203 • Page 5

AccuLoad III to IV Upgrade Manual for S and Q Models

• For wiring systems utilizing conduit, an Ex d certified sealing device must be used
immediately at the entrance of the enclosure.
• Any unused entry must be suitably blocked with an Ex d IIB IP65 certified plug for
ATEX and IECEx applications. For North America Zone applications, the plug must
be listed close up type.
• Equipment bonding shall be provided at the external grounding facility terminal,
external connection is not required when using metallic conduit or armored cable.
External grounding facility terminal wire range: 10-12 AWG (5.26 mm2 to 3.31
mm2 wire).
• Special Fasteners: Cover Bolts are steel grade 12.9, M8 x 1.25; substitution is
not allowed.
• The Touch Keypad sensor is protected by an intrinsic safe barrier, the enclosure
must be grounded as per national electrical code regulations, for example NEC/
CEC, etc.

Warning: To prevent ignition of hazardous atmospheres, disconnect from supply be-

fore opening. Keep tightly closed when circuits are alive. Contains internal battery-pow-
ered circuit, to prevent the ignition of hazardous atmospheres, do not open enclosure
unless the area is known to be non-hazardous. To reduce the risk of ignition of
hazardous atmospheres, conduit runs must have a sealing fitting connected within
18 inches of the enclosure. Substitution of components may impair intrinsic safety.

Note: The maximum ambient temperature for the enclosure is 60°C for ATEX and IECEx
applications and 55°C for North American Zone applications.
• Select wiring and cable glands suitable for 81°C operation.

Receipt of Equipment
Inspect the packaging of the upgrade equipment and immediately report any damage to
the shipping agent. If the packing is intact, open the shipping container and remove the
upgrade equipment. Verify that the upgrade kit is complete using the parts list for your
particular model found in Appendix (C). If there are missing or damaged parts, a written
report should be submitted to TechnipFMC FMC Technologies Measurement Solutions
ATTN: Customer Service Department 1602 Wagner Ave. Erie, PA 16510.

Tools Required

AccuLoad III to IV Upgrade Manual for S and Q Models

General Description
The upgrade process will vary slightly depending upon the AccuLoad model but gener-
ally consists of replacing the internal electronics and the front cover display assembly,
leaving the rear housing and field wiring plugs intact. The new electronics are installed
in place of the old electronic board assemblies according to the tables below:

Existing AccuLoad III-S AccuLoad IV-ST Upgrade

EAAI A4M
AICB (optional) A4I (optional)

Existing AccuLoad III-Q AccuLoad IV-QT Upgrade

EAAI A4M
BSE A4B
AICB (optional) A4I (optional)

General Notes and Warnings

Save Hardware – When replacing circuit boards, some of the same mounting hardware
will be re-used. Note the arrangement of the mounting hardware and which assembly
it is associated with as it is removed so it can be re-installed in the same manner with
the new board assemblies.
Field Wiring – Do not remove the field wiring from the terminal plugs as it will remain
connected to the original plugs (with minor exceptions where noted) which will be
inserted into the new replacement board assemblies.
Use ESD Precautions – The electronic board assemblies are susceptible to damage due
to electrostatic discharge (ESD) and must be handled using ESD prevention practices.

Warning: Hazardous Voltages – Ensure all power to the AccuLoad and any as-
sociated wiring is disconnected / de-energized. All circuits must be de-energized
and locked out prior to starting this procedure for both personal and hazardous
locations safety.

Before You Begin

Any information stored in the existing AccuLoad III will be lost during the upgrade. Refer
to Appendix (A) for the procedure to ensure that no important data is lost as a result of
this upgrade. Once the hardware changes are complete, the configuration file(s) can
be transferred to the newly upgraded AccuLoad. See Appendix (B).
While it is recommended that analog input modules be replaced as part of the upgrade
process, it is not a requirement. If the analog modules from the AccuLoad III are to be
re-used in the upgraded unit, they should be transferred from the AccuLoad III EAAI
board to the corresponding position in the AccuLoad IV A4M board. Once the upgrade
is complete, it is important to verify that the calibration numbers written on the modules
correctly match the Config->Analog parameters in the configuration database of the
upgraded unit. This will ensure the most accurate results. See manual MN06201 for
the module installation procedure.

AccuLoad III to IV Upgrade Manual for S and Q Models

AccuLoad III-S and AccuLoad III-Q Upgrade Procedure

1. After verification that all circuit connections to the AccuLoad are de-energized,
remove the (eighteen ALII-S) or (twenty-eight ALIII-Q) 8 mm cap screws securing
the front cover. These cap screws are part of the hazardous location protection
method and will not be re-used.
2. A detailed Inspection of the flame path is required in accordance with the following
Inspection Criteria.
Note: If damage or corrosion is detected on the machined flame path surface or cover
bolt threads of the enclosure, then the enclosure will require replacement to maintain
the hazardous locations protection.

Warning: Do not use enclosures with damaged flame path surfaces or threaded
entries, this condition could lead to fire or explosion risk! It is the owner / operator’s
responsibility to maintain the hazardous locations protection method.

Flame Path Inspection Criteria

I. All flame paths, which are defined as the machined flanged surface between the
housing and the cover, are clean and undamaged, no scratches, nicks, corrosion,
or other defects that would affect the integrity of the flame path are allowed.
In corrosive atmospheres such as near salt water, it is recommended to apply a
coating of petroleum jelly or TechnipFMC grease (P/N 644886401) to the flanged
surface to offer a protective barrier to help mitigate the effects of exposure to saline
solution i.e. wet salt air. The most effective preventive maintenance is periodic wash
downs of the enclosure with clean fresh water and mild detergent (not pressure
washing, which can damage the protective paint surface) to remove the salt buildup
on the outside surfaces.
II. All tapped cover bolt threaded locations are clean and intact with no missing/stripped
threads.
III. Cover bolts are the required M8 x 1.25-6g, Din 912, Steel Grade 12.9 supplied with
the upgrade kit.
IV. Any blind threaded cover bolt holes should not have grease packed into them as
this could cause hydraulic fractures of the enclosure when the bolts are tightened.
V. Inspect to see that the environmental O-ring is correctly installed (seated into the
groove) and in good condition, no cracks etc., if defective replace to maintain
environmental protection. Grease cover flange with petroleum jelly or TechnipFMC
grease (P/N 644886401) before reattachment of the cover to the housing.
If the flame path is found to be acceptable, proceed with the remainder of this procedure.

Disassembly
1. Unplug the field wiring plug connectors identified as TB1 through TB5 from the KDC
board assembly. The field wiring terminal functionality has been moved to the new
A4M board assembly and is now identified as TBK1 through TBK5. The factory
wiring ribbon cable(s) to the EAAI and the BSE board assembly(s) (if equipped) is
no longer used and should be discarded.
2. Unplug the field wiring plug connectors from the BSE and PIB board assemblies
combination (if equipped), the field wiring terminal identification from the BSE to
A4B are identical with the exception of Terminal Block PT1 where the Pulse input
assignments have been modified as follows:
The original PIB board PT1 connector had pulse inputs identified as Pulse In 7
through Pulse In 12; the new assignment for PT1 on the A4B board is Pulse In 9
through Pulse In 14.
Note: No wiring changes should be required, the function of the pulse inputs is
unchanged; only the numbering is changed.
Page 8 • MN06203 ║ Issue/Rev. 0.0 (4/17)
AccuLoad III to IV Upgrade Manual for S and Q Models

3. Unplug the field wiring plug connectors from the AICB board assembly (if equipped),
the field wiring terminal identification from the AICB to A4I are identical.
Note: Serial communications via connector TB2 will not be required as the
communication link to the new A4I board will utilize the Ethernet communications.
4. Unplug the field wiring plug connectors from the EAAI and PIB board assembly
combination. The field wiring terminal identification from the EAAI to the A4M is also
nearly identical, with the differences as follows:
The terminal plugs on the EAAI that were identified as TB1 through TB7 have been
renamed to TBE1 through TBE7 on the A4M.
The terminal plug on the PIB that was identified as PT1 has been moved to PT1 on
the A4M and remain the same Pulse Inputs for Pulse In 1 through Pulse In 6.
A new Pulse input plug identified as PT2 has been added to the A4M board, this
serves for the Pulse Inputs for Pulse In 7 and Pulse In 8 which are new in the ALIV.
Since these are new, there will not be any connections for a simple upgrade. Only
if additional equipment is added as part of the upgrade will there be connections
to PT2.
5. Using Figure 1 (ALIII-S) or Figure 2 (ALIII-Q) as a guide, remove the circuit board
assemblies from the back housing. The EAAI board is standard for all ALIII models
and, therefore, it is always installed. The BSE is standard on the ALIII-Q and the AICB
board(s) is optional. (It may or may not be installed in either the -S or -Q model.)
6. While supporting the front cover assembly, remove the four bolts securing the
cover hinges to the rear housing and remove the front cover assembly. See Figure
3 for ALIII-S and Figure 4 for ALIII-Q.

Caution: The front covers are heavy - 18 lbs (8 kg) for the ALIII-S cover and 36 lbs.
(16 kg) for the ALIII-Q cover. It is recommended to either mechanically support the
front cover or have assistants help support it during this procedure to avoid injury
or damaging the equipment.

Reassembly
1. ALIV-QT: Mount the new front cover assembly using the two hinges and four hinge
bolts removed in the previous step. ALIV-ST: Mount the new front cover assembly
using the two hinges and four hinge bolts supplied in the upgrade kit. The original
hinges cannot be re-used as the design has changed.

Caution: The front covers are heavy - 24 lbs. (11 kg) for ALIV-ST and 43 lbs. (19
kg) for ALIV-QT. It is recommended to either mechanically support the front cover
or have assistants help support it during this procedure to avoid injury or damaging
the equipment.

2. Replace the EAAI board with the new A4M board assembly. Insert the field wiring
connectors into the A4M board into the same locations that were used on the EAAI
board. The connectors on the EAAI that were labelled TB1 through TB7 are now
labelled TBE1 through TBE7 on the A4M board. These are located in the same
position on the A4M as they were on the EAAI board. Connect Meter Pulse Inputs 1
through 6 to TP1; reference Appendix (D) for Meter Pulse configuration details. See
Figures 1 and 2. May require program parameter changes - reference MN06201.

3. Insert the field wiring plugs that were connected to the KDC board assembly identified
as TB1 through TB5 into the A4M board assembly in positions TBK1 through TBK5
respectively. If an Ethernet cable from the local network was plugged into the KDC,
insert it into the RJ-45 connector labeled as ETH4 on the A4M board. See Figure (E).

Issue/Rev. 0.0 (4/17) ║ MN06203 • Page 9

AccuLoad III to IV Upgrade Manual for S and Q Models

4. If a BSE/PIB board set was removed (ALIII-Q only), replace it with the new A4B
board and reconnect all of the original field connection. Apply the supplied A4B
wiring label over the BSE label (after cleaning) that is located on the inside of
the -Q housing. The parallel communications ribbon cable that originally con-
nected the BSE to The KDC has been replaced with Ethernet communications on
the A4B board assembly. Connect the supplied Ethernet jumper cable from
the A4B RJ-45 connector labeled ETH1 to the RJ-45 connector labeled ETH3 on
the A4M board.
5. If an AICB board was removed, replace it with the new A4I board and reconnect
the field connections from TB1and TB3 through TB9, which includes the 24 VDC
power connection plug TB1. Also connect the supplied Ethernet jumper cable from
the A4I RJ-45 connector labeled ETH1 to the RJ-45 connector labeled ETH3 on
the A4M (ALIII-S only); if an A4B (ALIII-Q) is installed, make the connection to the
RJ-45 connector labeled ETH2 on the A4B board to create a daisy chain commu-
nications link. If a second (optional) A4I board is installed, then connect the RJ-45
connector labeled ETH1 on the second A4I board to the RJ-45 connector labeled
ETH2 on the first A4I board. See Appendix E.
Note: Connector TB2 was used for the serial communications link from the old
AICB to the old EAAI assembly and is no longer required.
6. Install the cable clamp(s) used to hold the power and Ethernet cable assembly in
the locations as shown. One clamp for the -ST (refer to Figure 7) and two clamps
for the -QT (refer to Figure 8). The clamps are installed so that the top edge of the
clamp is 1 1/2" down from the housing flange on the -ST housing, and 5 1/2" down on
the -QT housing.
Proper Installation Steps:
Surface Preparation – For rubber and acrylic based foam tape, a mixture of water
and isopropyl may be used on most surfaces. Ensure the area is dry before apply-
ing the mount.
Installing the Mount – For proper installation of adhesive backed mounts with foam
tape, remove the release liner from the foam adhesive. Without touching the adhe-
sive, place the mount in the proper location. Apply firm pressure for five seconds to
the foam tape mount to ensure proper adhesion. The dwell time for rubber-based
adhesive foam tape is two hours.
7. Install the Ethernet jumper and power cable that will be used to connect the
new display module identified as the HMI assembly as shown in Appendix E from
the A4M board assembly. Plug the supplied Ethernet jumper cable into RJ-45
connector ETH2 on the A4M board. The other end of this jumper cable will plug
into the RJ-45 connector on the back of the display. Connect the supplied twisted
pair power cable (red wire) to TBE4 terminal 10, or 11 or 12 and the common (black
wire) to TBE4 terminal 13 or 14 or 15; refer to Figure 6.
8. Connect the other end of the twisted pair power cable from the A4M to the connector
identified as CN4 +24VDC (red) to CN4 Terminal 1; Common (black) to CN4
terminal 2 or 3. (Refer to Figure 5.)
9. Connect the Intrinsic safety ground wire (Green wire) ring terminal from the front
cover to the selected board assembly mounting screw to establish a ground
connection to the back housing. See Figure 7 for the -ST housing location, and
Figure 8 for the -QT location. Remove the captive mounting screw to place
the ring terminal.
10. Route and secure the Ethernet jumper and power cables as shown in Figure 5.

AccuLoad III to IV Upgrade Manual for S and Q Models

11. Grease exposed metal on mating surfaces of cover flange with petroleum jelly or
TechnipFMC grease (P/N 644886401) before reattachment of the cover to the
housing. Close the front cover and follow the bolt torquing sequence shown in
Figure 9 for ALIV-ST or Figure 10 for ALIV-QT, to secure the front cover to the rear
housing using the new 8 mm cap screws provided in the upgrade kit.
Note the locations for the two longer bolts used for the security seal wire.
Final torque bolts to 20 FT-LB / 240 IN-LB (27.1 Nm / 276.4 Kg.cm).

Warning: To maintain hazardous location protection, the cover to enclosure joint

“gap” must be verified with a 0.0015" (0.04mm) feeler gauge. The feeler gauge must
not enter the joint for more than a ¼" (6mm) at any point around the perimeter of
the cover to housing joint; see Figure 9 for example.

12. Apply power to the unit and follow the steps outlined in Appendix B to restore
the configuration.

Caution: If this step is to be performed prior to the installation of the cover bolts in
the previous step (i.e. restoring the hazardous locations protection) it is imperative
that the area is known to be non-hazardous, or a valid hot work permit is issued by
the authority in charge of the facility.
