3.2INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS

The Rosemount 2410 Tank Hub may be installed on various locations at the plant. Mounting at the tank foot may be convenient when you would like to have easy access to measuring data, diagnostics and other information on the 2410 optional integral display.

The 2410 can also be mounted on the tank roof if this is the preferred location. In case the 2410 is exposed to long periods of sunshine, a sunshade should be used to prevent the 2410 Tank Hub from being heated to temperatures above the maximum operating temperature.

Ensure that environmental conditions are within specified limits as listed in Appendix A: Reference Data.

Ensure that the Rosemount 2410 is installed such that it is not exposed to higher pressure and temperature than specified in Appendix A: Reference Data.

The multi-tank version of the Rosemount 2410 Tank Hub is able to serve several tanks. In that case the 2410 may be placed at a suitable location further away from the tanks.

The 2410 is designed with two Tankbus terminals and several cable entries which allows alternative cable routings to suit various requirements.

Do not install the Rosemount 2410 in non-intended applications, for example environments where it may be exposed to extremely intense magnetic fields or extreme weather conditions.

It’s a good idea to plan the installation in order ensure that all components in the system are properly specified. The planning stage should include the following tasks:

•make a plan of the site and specify suitable locations for the devices

•consider power budget

•specify cabling and connections (for example whether devices will be “daisy-chained” or not)

•specify cable glands that will be needed for the various devices

•specify location of terminators on the Tankbus

•make a note of identification codes such as Unit ID/Device ID of each device

•assign Modbus adresses for level gauges and other tank devices to be used in the Tank Database of the 2410 and the Slave Database of the 2160 Field Communication Unit (see the Raptor System Configuration manual, document no. 300510 for more information)

See “Electrical Installation” on page 3-5for more information on cables and glands.

IMPORTANT

Check the 2410 Tank Hub for any signs of damage prior to installation. Ensure that the glass on the integral display is undamaged, and O-rings and gaskets are in good condition.
