Unpacking
You receive the DL8000 and a hardware kit containing additional bolts required
for installation in a box. Remove these items from the box. Examine the
packing list carefully to ensure you have all components.
Installation
-
The loading facility’s design predetermines the location of the DL8000. The cover hinges at the bottom side and opens down for access to the internal electronics. The unit ships with one bolt that secures the cover to the case. This bolt may be removed and discarded during initial installation of wiring. Route all conduit to the bottom of the unit. Do not locate any object under the DL8000 or in front of the conduit for a distance of approximately 380mm.
You are responsible for fabricating mounting fixtures for the DL8000. Mounting height is approximately 1.14 to 1.27 meters above grade to the bottom of the DL8000 case.
Four M10-1.5 x 15mm threaded bolts are provided for mounting the DL8000. The enclosure can be bottom-mounted or rear-mounted. Bottom-mounting is preferable, due to the weight of the device. The lengths of the bolts provided are sized for use with a 4mm-thick mounting panel. In the event a different thickness panel is used, select bolts of an appropriate length in order that when they are fully tightened without washers fitted, a thread remains free (therefore, where it is intended to fit washers, even if they are inadvertently not fitted, a thread remains free and the bolt will not bottom out). Size the length of the bolts to satisfy this requirement, and to ensure maximum engagement for thread strength. The panel used should be a mild steel member with four 11.5mm diameter holes located to match the mounting pattern being used. The steel member may be sheet, angle, channel, or another shape. Center the forward pair of mounting screw holes in bottom-mount fixtures no more than 19 mm from the edge. The case has a 2° taper to the rear. The standard case may need a shim at the rear pair of screws to level the DL8000. Level the case to allow for the best conduit alignment. See Figure 3. Tighten bolts securing the case to the mounting plate to 24 to 29 N-m. -
The bottom of the DL8000 enclosure has two 1-inch and one 2-inch NPSM conduit entries fitted with certified metric conduit adaptors (one M50 and two M25). From the front of the DL8000, the left-most entry is intended for AC power wiring. The other two entries are for DC voltage circuits. Run rigid metal conduit to these entries and install conduit seals within 50 mm of the enclosure. All installation conductors must be rated greater than 90° C.
CAUTION Ensure that the conduit adaptors are fully sealed prior to conduit installation. If the provided adaptors are not the correct size, remove them and replace them with the proper sized certificated adaptors.
WARNING Threaded conduit must engage the thread adaptors with a minimum of 8 full threads. Unused conduit entries must be plugged with certified conduit plugs. that the conduit adaptors are fully sealed prior to conduit installation. If the provided adaptors are not the correct size, remove them and replace them with the proper sized certificated adaptors.
Grounding
The DL8000 has one external ground lug and two internal ground lugs. Refer to
Figures 4 and 5 for lug locations.
If your company has no specific grounding requirements, install the DL8000 as
a “floating” (unconnected to ground) system using the ground lug and routing
the ground wire through one of the conduit fittings. Otherwise, follow your
company’s specific grounding practices. However, if you are making a
connection between a grounded device and a DL8000 EIA-232 (RS-232) port,
ground the DL8000’s power supply.
If you must ground the equipment, observe the following guidelines:
- Improper grounding or poor grounding practices can often cause problems, such as introducing ground loops into the system. Properly grounding the DL8000 helps to reduce the effects of electrical noise on the DL8000’s operation and protects against lightning. Install a surge protection device at the service disconnect on DC voltage source systems to protect the installed equipment against lightning and power surges.
- A pipeline with cathodic protection is not a good ground. Do not tie common to the cathodic part of the pipeline.
- The grounding installation method for the DL8000 depends on whether the pipeline has cathodic protection. On pipelines with cathodic protection, electrically isolate the DL8000 from the pipeline. All earth grounds must have an earth-to-ground rod or grid impedance of 25 ohms or less, as measured with a ground system tester.
Wiring to Power
The factory pre-wires the DL8000 internal connections for the AC I/O module
(or modules). Refer to the DL8000 Preset Controller Instruction Manual (part
D301244X012) for field wiring information. Wire the DL8000 through the
terminal blocks on the front of each module. The terminal blocks accept wiring
2mm in diameter/3mm2 or smaller.
To connect the wire to the removable block compression terminals:
- Bare the end (6mm maximum) of the wire.
- Insert the bared end of the wire into the clamp beneath the termination screw.
- Tighten the screw.
Expose a minimum of bare wire to prevent short circuits. Allow some slack when
making connections to prevent strain.
Connect the wiring to the terminal blocks on the I/O and communications
modules. Refer to Chapter 3, Modules, of the DL8000 Preset Controller
Instruction Manual (part D301244X012) for wiring schematics and explanations.
Verify the hook-up polarity is correct.
To make DC power supply connections:
- Remove the terminal block connector from the socket.
- Insert each bare wire end into its appropriate connector and secure the wire (see Figures 6 and 7).
- Plug the terminal block connector back into the socket.
Wiring to Communications & I/O
Connect the wiring to the terminal blocks on the I/O and communications modules. Refer to Chapter 3, Modules, of the DL8000 Preset Controller Instruction Manual (part D301244X012) for wiring schematics and explanations. Once you have wired the communications and I/O, press the wire channel covers into place over the wiring channels.
Powering Up the DL8000
-
Connect AC power to the terminal block as shown in Figure 4. The two terminals accept AC power (either 115 or 230 volts AC). Number 6 spade terminals are recommended for wiring connections to this terminal block. For 115 volt AC input, connect the line wire to HOT (L1) and the neutral wire to L2. For 230 volt AC input, connect one of the line wires to HOT (L1) and the other to L2. Keep AC wiring away from DC signal circuits to minimize noise.
-
Clean the mating surfaces on the cover and case and swing the cover closed, taking care not to pinch any wires or fingers in the process. Install all cover bolts provided in the hardware kit to finger-tight (14 M10-1.5 x 50mm and two M10-1.5 x 60mm bolts with holes are provided). The longer bolts with holes can be installed in two of the cover holes opposite the hinge side. These may be used for installation of wire seals to secure the cover. Cross-torque all bolts to 24 to 29 N-m.
DANGER Failure to clean mating surfaces or install all bolts as described above may render the unit unsafe, potentially leading to personal injury. Should the mating surfaces be damaged in any way, do not attempt repair. Repair will compromise the flameproof seal and create a hazardous situation. -
Apply power to start up the DL8000. The LCD display above the keypad (see Figure 5) should light.
Periodically inspect wiring for signs of deterioration. The DL8000 may also require verification of the meter and I/O calibration.
Configuring the DL8000
You must install Emerson’s Field Tools configuration software (which includes ROCLINK™ 800) on your PC to configure the DL8000 for use. Refer to the Field Tools Quick Start Guide (part D301703X412) or the ROCLINK 800 Configuration Software User Manual (for DL8000) (part D301259X012) for instructions on installing and using this software.
Resetting the DL8000
If you are experiencing problems that appear to be software related, try
resetting the DL8000 with a warm start, a cold start, or a reset using the
Reset button on the CPU module.
The Reset button, located on the front of the CPU module, enables you to restore the DL8000 to factory defaults.
- Remove power from the unit.
- Using a pen or stylus, firmly depress the Reset button for 15 seconds while applying power. Refer to the ROCLINK™ 800 Configuration Software User Manual (for DL8000) (part D301259X012) for information on warm and cold starts.
