Troubleshooting
The “Service Mode” for both HART and Foundation Fieldbus provide access to the individual sensor output values.
The 102A electronics transmitter can recognize a disconnected flow element. If this condition is detected, the instrument will indicate a fault

condition and display process variables from the sensor that remains connected to the transmitter. The fault will self-correct when the sensor

is re-connected.

ST102A and STP102A Flow Element Installation

The Model ST/STP102A is a dual-element averaging system operating through a single transmitter. The ST/STP102A Flow Element offers the same

process connections that are available on the basic ST100. The ST/STP102A will have two probe assemblies. Available process connections include:
• Compression Fitting
• Retractable Packing Gland
• Fixed NPT
• Flanged

All flow element mounting and securing instructions for the selected process connections are identical to the ST100. These details are provided in

the previous process connection mounting sections. Each Flow element is identified with the instrument serial number followed by a -1 or -2.
For example:

Serial no: 409486-1

Description - flow element no.1

Serial no: 409486-2

Description - flow element no.2

Installed Point Locations
The flow element point locations for a two point averaging system are based from the US EPA – Method 1 Traverse Point recommendations.

This method is applicable to gas streams flowing in ducts, stacks, and flues with inside diameters greater than 12 inches. The recommended

point locations for a two point averaging system are shown in the diagram below.
Locate and secure the flow elements into position using (0.146 x Pipe I.D. + 0.50 inches) as the location dimension from the pipe I.D. to the

end of the flow element.
