3.3 INSTALLING ON THE GAUGE HEAD

3.3.1 CONFIRM GAUGE HEAD ORIENTATION AND

OPERATION

Before installing the Goshawk Transmitter, it is imperative that the gauge head is
installed correctly. Refer to the gauge head installation instructions and the direction
diagrams in Section 1.3, noting:

Redtail: Facing the gauge board, the indicator cable will be exiting from the front, right
half of the Gauge Head (Atmospheric Side).

Roadside:. Facing the gauge board, the indicator cable will be exiting from the
underside of the left half of the Gauge Head (Atmospheric Side).

Do not proceed with Goshawk Installation until the gauge head resemble the figures in
Section 1.3.

3.3.2 REMOVE STANDARD COVER PLATE (IF REQUIRED)

If the gauge head has been shipped from the factory already prepared for transmitter
installation, the electronic cover plate will already be installed on the atmospheric side
of the gauge head. If this is the case, skip to Section 3.3.3 to zero out the float and
indicator.

1.)

Using the 9 / 16 Wrench (Redtail) or 1 / 2 Wrench (Roadside), remove the
three retaining bolts holding the standard cover in place. Keep these bolts.

2.)

Remove the standard cover, and set aside. You will no longer require this
cover plate for this installation.

3.)

Place the Electronic Cover Plate on the Atmospheric Side of the gauge head,
and align the three mounting tangs to the bosses on the gauge head.

4.)

Replace the 3 retaining bolts, and tighten wrench-tight.

3.3.3 ZERO OUT FLOAT AND INDICATOR

IMPORTANT: THE FOLLOWING STEPS REQUIRE THAT THE MECHANICAL
CALIBRATION STEPS FROM THE GAUGE HEAD INSTALLATION HAVE BEEN
PERFORMED. ENSURE THAT WHEN THE FLOAT IS IN THE ZERO (EMPTY)
POSITION, THE INDICATOR IS AT THE TOP OF THE GAUGEBOARD. FAILURE TO
ENSURE THIS MAY RESULT IN DAMAGE TO THE ENCODING POTENTIOMETER.

5.)

If not already there, put the system into the TANK EMPTY POSITION.
Manually rotate the exposed Atmospheric Side cable reel in the Emptying
Direction (CLOCKWISE) until the float is in the empty position (i.e. resting on
the tank floor).

FIGURE 5

INDICATOR. LEFT: REDTAIL, GAUGE BOARD TO LEFT.

RIGHT: ROADSIDE, GAUGE BOARD TO RIGHT

(COVERS OMITTED FOR CLARITY.) [STEP 5.)]

6.)

If, in the TANK EMPTY POSITION the float is:
a.

NOT resting on the tank floor
(i.e. it is suspended above the floor, or the tank has an ungauged
conical bottom); or,

b.

the tank is not empty, and cannot be made empty

Use the position of the indicator to set the TANK EMPTY POSITION. Rotate
the reel as indicated in Step 5.) until the indicator is at the top of the gauge
board. In the case of the non-empty tank, this will feed some loose float
cable into the tank, so care will need to be taken to slowly take that up when
moving onto Step 34.)

7.)

Secure the reel in place against the cover using the vice grip pliers to prevent
the reel from turning throughout the next steps.

3.3.4 PREPARE TRANSMITTER

8.)

With the bottom of the transmitter facing you, rotate the TRANSITION
COUPLER [D] in the Emptying Direction (COUNTERCLOCKWISE) until it
stops. DO NOT OVER ROTATE!

9.)

Turn the TRANSITION COUPLER [D] 1/2 revolution in the Filling Direction
(CLOCKWISE). This is required, and provides a rotational buffer so the
encoding potentiometer is less likely to overturn during normal operation.

FIGURE 6

PREPARING TRANSMITTER

[STEP 8.) AND 9.)]

CAUTION: THE GAUGE HEAD REELS CAN GENERATE CONSIDERABLE ROTATING
INERTIA IF EXCESSIVE FORCE IS USED TO MANUALLY MOVE THE FLOAT-
INDICATOR SYSTEM. THIS INERTIA CAN EASILY OVERTURN THE ENCODING
POTENTIOMETER, AS WELL AS INTRODUCE SLACK INTO THE FLOAT AND
INDICATOR CABLES, LEADING TO TANGLES OR BINDING INSIDE THE GAUGE HEAD.
FOR THIS REASON, IT IS STRONGLY RECOMMENDED THAT NO ROPE OR OTHER
MEANS OF MOVING THE INDICATOR FROM THE GROUND BE USED WITH A DRY-
SEAL GAUGE HEAD -- WITH OR WITHOUT -- A GOSHAWK TRANSMITTER.

3.3.5 MOUNT TRANSMITTER

10.)

Place the Transmitter on the Electronic Cover Plate, ensuring the
TRANSITION COUPLER [D] mates with the gauge head axle without binding.

11.)

Align the mounting tangs on the Goshawk Box [C] to the tapped holes on the
Electronic Cover Plate. Partially thread in the included 1 / 4 UNC x 3 / 4 Hex
Cap Screws to hold the transmitter in place.

12.)

If the reel was secured in Section 3.3.2 release the vise grips.

13.)

Gently rotate the reel in the Filling Direction (COUNTERCLOCKWISE). Ensure
that the reel is able to rotate freely, and does not bind against the transition
coupling. If there is some binding, allow the transmitter to self-centre on the
cover over the course of a few rotations.

14.)

Once running smoothly, replace the vise grips (again, if the zero point is not
at the bottom of the tank) and tighten the 1 / 4 UNC x 3 / 4 Hex Cap Screws
the rest of the way to secure the transmitter to the gauge head.

FIGURE 7

MOUNTING THE TRANSMITTER TO THE GAUGE HEAD

[STEP 10.) TO 14.)]

NOTE: THE TRANSMITTER’S CONDUIT CONNECTIONS CAN EITHER BE ON TOP OF
TRANSMITTER, OR ON BOTTOM OF TRANSMITTER. SELECT THE BEST
ORIENTATION FOR YOUR APPLICATION. IT IS GENERALLY SUGGESTED THAT THE
OPEN CONDUIT CONNECTION EXITS AWAY FROM THE GAUGE BOARD.

3.4 MAKING POWER CONNECTIONS

3.4.1 REMOVE GOSHAWK COVER

15.)

Use the 7 / 64 Allen Key to loosen the staking screw [B] on the cover [A]

16.)

Unscrew the cover [A] and set down. The PCB [H] and terminal blocks will
be visible. Ensure the sealing O-Ring between the cover [A] and box [C]
remains in place.

secure terminal contact in place with the 1/8 slot driver.

19.)

If you require a shield connection, run it to the (S) PCB terminal [E] and
secure terminal contact in place with the 1/8 slot driver.

20.)

Continue to Section 3.5, using the output from your PLC to calibrate the
transmitter.

WARNING: ENSURE THE TWO-WIRE LOOP CABLES ARE RUN OUT OF THE CONDUIT
PORT ON THE GOSHAWK BODY, OBSERVING PROPER HAZLOC WIRING PRACTICES
PER CSA C22.1 SECTION 18 / APPENDIX J.

B.) PROCESS

METER

21.)

Ensure the leads from the process meter are connected to the correct ports
(Red to + SOURCE, Black to – SOURCE), and the meter is set to mA Loop
Power

22.)

Connect the (+ SOURCE) Lead to the (+) PCB Terminal [E]

23.)

Connect the (- SOURCE) Lead to the (-) PCB Terminal [E]

24.)

Continue to Section 3.5 using the Process Meter Display to calibrate the
transmitter. Be sure to connect your process controller following calibrations

C.)

3.5 CALIBRATION

3.5.1 SET ZERO

NOTE: IF YOU ARE UNABLE TO SET THE TANK TO THE ZERO CONDITION BECAUSE
IT IS PARTIALLY FULL OR IN SERVICE, REFER TO SECTION 4.2 FOR NON-EMPTY
ZERO POINT SETTING.

30.)

With all the gauge components free to rotate, move the indicator and float to
the TANK EMPTY POSITION, if not there already.

31.)

Locate the R20 (ZERO) trimmer [V] on the PCB

FIGURE 9

ZERO TRIMMER

[STEP 30.) TO 33.)]

32.)

Power up the transmitter, and note the output current on your calibration
device.

33.)

Adjust R20 (ZERO) [V] until output current to read 4 mA.
a.)

If the indicated current is below 4 mA, turn the R20 (ZERO) trimmer
[V] CLOCKWISE until the current increases to 4 mA.

b.)

If the indicated current is above 4 mA, turn the R20 (ZERO) trimmer
[V] COUNTERCLOCKWISE until the current decreases to 4 mA.

NOTE: THE MINIMUM INDICATED CURRENT WILL BE APPROXIMATELY 3.1 – 3.2
MA. IF THE INITIAL FACTORY SETTING OF THE R20 TRIMMER IS FAR ENOUGH
OUT OF RANGE, THERE WILL BE VERY LITTLE CHANGE IN THE OUTPUT CURRENT
UNTIL THE TRIMMER GETS BACK IN RANGE.

WHEN TURNING THE TRIMMER CLOCKWISE, THE OUTPUT CURRENT MAY BRIEFLY
APPEAR TO DROP AS THE ZERO TRIMMER MOVES INTO THE LINEAR
ADJUSTMENT RANGE. KEEP TURNING CLOCKWISE TO INCREASE THE OUTPUT
CURRENT.

IF ALL 23 TURNS OF THE ZERO TRIMMER HAVE BEEN TRAVERSED WITH NO
CHANGE IN THE OUTPUT CURRENT, THIS MAY BE INDICATIVE OF AN DAMAGED
ENCODING POTENTIOMETER. REPLACE THE ENCODING POTENTIOMETER PER
SECTION 5.2 AND REPEAT THE ABOVE SERIES OF STEPS.

3.5.2 SET SPAN

34.)

Move the indicator to the bottom of the gauge board, which will bring the
float to the top and put the system in the TANK FULL POSITION. Prevent the
float from dropping back down by securing indicator reel to the gauge cover
using vise grip pliers.

35.)

Locate the R19 (SPAN) trimmer [U] on the PCB

FIGURE 10

SPAN TRIMMER

[STEPS 34.) TO 37.)]

36.)

Note the current output on your calibration device.

37.)

Adjust R19 (SPAN) [U] until output current to read 20 mA.
a.)

If the indicated current is below 20 mA, turn the R19 (SPAN)
trimmer [U] CLOCKWISE until the current increases to 20 mA.

b.)

If the indicated current is above 20 mA, turn the R19 (SPAN)
trimmer [U] COUNTERCLOCKWISE until the current decreases to 20
mA.

NOTE: IF ALL 23 CLOCKWISE TURNS OF THE SPAN TRIMMER HAVE BEEN
TRAVERSED, AND THE OUTPUT CURRENT IS STILL BELOW 20 MA, ADJUST THE
SPAN SENSITIVITY RESISTANCE DOWNWARD (SEE SECTION 4.1).

IF ALL 23 COUNTERCLOCKWISE TURNS OF THE SPAN TRIMMER HAVE BEEN
TRAVERSED, AND THE OUTPUT CURRENT IS STILL ABOVE 20 MA, ADJUST THE
SPAN SENSITIVITY RESISTANCE UPWARD (SEE SECTION 4.1).

3.5.3 CONFIRM CALIBRATION

38.)

Remove the vise grips from the reel and cover so the system is free to rotate.
Gently allow the float to return to the TANK EMPTY POSITON
