7.5 Shutting Down The

Transmitter

Remove the battery pack for turn off the power,

or set into Deep Sleep mode by the device

configuration tool.

NOTE

• Whenever shutting down the transmitter for

a long period, detach the transmitter from the

Tank.

• For details on how to remove the battery

pack, refer to subsection 9.4.5 “Replacing

the Battery Pack.”

• When storing the instrument with a battery

pack inserted, it is recommended to put the

instrument into deep sleep mode to conserve

battery power. For details on how to switch to

deep sleep mode, refer to subsection 8.3.13

“Switching to Deep Sleep Mode.”

7.6 Venting or Draining

Transmitter Pressure-

detector Section

Since this transmitter is designed to be self-

draining and self-venting with vertical impulse

piping connections, neither draining nor venting

will be required if the impulse piping is configured

appropriately for self-draining or self-venting

operation.
If condensate (or gas) collects in the transmitter

pressure-detector section, the measured pressure

may be in error. If it is not possible to configure the

piping for self-draining (or self-venting) operation,

you will need to loosen the drain (vent) screw on the

transmitter to completely drain (vent) any stagnated

liquid (gas).
After draining (or venting), fasten the drain (vent)

screw on the transmitter.

IMPORTANT

Draining condensate or bleeding off gas disturbs

the pressure measurement, this should not be

done when the loop is in operation.

7.6.1 Draining Condensate (low pressure

side)

1) Gradually open the drain plug and drain the

transmitter pressure-detector section.

(See Figure 7.6)

2) When all accumulated liquid is completely

removed, close the drain plug.

3) Tighten the drain plug to a torque of 34 to 39

N·m {3.5 to 4 kgf·m}.

WARNING

Since the accumulated liquid (or gas) may be

toxic or otherwise harmful, take appropriate care

to avoid contact with the body, or inhalation of

vapors.
