1. Description
• ProcessPro transmitters are available in two styles: panel mount and field mount. The panel mount is supplied with the necessary
hardware to install the transmitter. This manual includes complete panel mounting instructions.
• Field mounting requires one of two separate mounting kits. The 3-8052 integral kit joins sensor and instrument together into a
single package. The 3-8050 Universal kit enables the transmitter to be installed virtually anywhere.
• Detailed instructions for integral mounting or other field installation options are included with the 3-8052 Integral kit or the 3-8050
Universal kit.

Installation Detail
3. Panel Installation
1. The panel mount transmitter is designed for installation
using a 1/4 DIN Punch. For manual panel cutout, an
adhesive template is provided as an installation guide.
The cutout must be 92 mm x 92 mm. Recommended
clearance on all sides between instruments is 25 mm/1 in.
2. Slide the instrument into the cutout from the front of the
panel.
3. Slide the mounting bracket over back of instrument until
quick-clips snap into latches on side of instrument.
4. To remove, secure instrument temporarily with tape from
front or grip from rear of instrument. DO NOT RELEASE.
Press quick-clips outward and remove.

Caution: Fully open terminal jaws
before removing wire to avoid
damage to connector.
4. Electrical Connections
Wiring Procedure
1. Remove 0.5 - 0.625 in. (13-16 mm) of insulation from wire end.
2. Press the orange terminal lever downward with a small screwdriver to open
terminal jaws.
3. Insert wire into terminal until it bottoms out.
4. Release orange terminal lever to secure wire in place. Gently pull on each
wire to ensure a good connection.
Wiring Removal Procedure
1. Press the orange terminal lever downward with a small screwdriver to open
terminal jaws.
2. When fully open, remove wire from terminal.
Terminals 11-13: Digital (S3L) input/output
The 2450 sensor and External Relay Module

3Signet 8250-2 Level Transmitter
4.2 Serial Data Connections
• The Input/Output terminals on the 8250 carry S3L™ serial data from the 2450 Pressure sensor and from the External Relay Module.
• You MUST reset sensor configuration (see Calibrate menu) for all new systems and after connecting a new sensor or relay module
to the I/O terminals.
• Do not route sensor or output cables in conduit containing AC power wiring. Electrical noise may interfere with sensor signal.
• Routing cable in grounded metal conduit will help prevent electrical noise and mechanical damage.
• Seal cable entry points to prevent moisture damage.
• Only one wire should be inserted into a terminal. Splice double wires outside the terminal.
• The TOTAL cable length from I/O devices to the transmitter must not exceed 122 m (400 ft.).
• For best performance, ground the sensor SHIELD wire to a local earth ground at a point near the sensor.
• Consult the sensor manual for additional wiring information.

Zero reference point (Z):
Definition:
The point in the vessel where you want the 8250 to display
zero (0 ft., 0 gal. etc).
• If Z is located below the fluid surface, the 8250 will display
a positive level measurement.
• If Z is located above the fluid surface, the 8250 will display
a negative level measurement.
Sensor Location point (SLoc):
Definition:
The point on the level sensor where the measurement is
taken.
• The 2450 Pressure sensor measures from the centerline of
the diaphragm.
Offset (O):
Definition:
The distance from the zero reference point (Z) to the sensor
location point (Sloc).
• Enter a positive value in the Calibrate menu if the sensor is
located above Z (zero reference point).
• Enter a negative value in the Calibrate menu if the sensor
is located below Z (zero reference point).
• Enter 0 in the Calibrate menu if the sensor is located at Z
(zero reference point).
Level (L):
Definition:
• The distance from Z (zero reference point) to surface of
fluid (displayed as "Level" by transmitter.

For horizontal cylinders only,
the zero reference point MUST
be the lowest point in the
vessel.
For most vessels, the zero
reference point may be
designated as any height
in the vessel.
5. System Configuration
The 8250 Level Transmitter must be programmed using the following system configuration procedure.
1. Determine where you want the level measurement to start. This is the Zero reference point (Z).
Review the diagram to help select the best option.
2. Determine where you will mount the sensor. This is SLoc.
Consult the Sensor manual for information regarding the best location for the sensor.
3. Measure the distance between Z and SLoc. This is O(ffset).
4. Enter the Offset into the Calibrate menu.

5.1 Level and Volume conversion in custom shaped vessels
If you select Custom Shape in the Options menu, you can define
from 2 to 10 Custom Points to establish the relationship of level to
volume in the vessel.
• Select Manual level Measurement mode to edit both level and
volume data (dry configuration).
• Select Automatic level Measurement mode to accept the
sensor measurement of the Level, while you assign a
volumetric value to each custom point (wet configuration).
• Enter from 3 to 10 custom points to link level and volume
values.
• The first custom point must be the lowest fluid level in the
vessel.
• Each successive point must be greater than the preceding
point.
• The last point must be equal to or greater than the highest
fluid level in the vessel.
• A custom point should be located at all transition points in
the vessel shape (for example, at custom point #9, where the
shape changes from a cylinder to a cone).
• The more complex sections should be defined with more
points. Notice that the conical section of the illustration has
been defined by custom points 1 through 9.
• Simpler sections require fewer defining points. Note that the
cylinder requires only custom points 9 and 10.
Level, volume and mass calculations performed by the 8250
include:
Pressure to level conversion:
Level = P ÷ (SG • D(water))
where P = Pressure
SG = Specific Gravity of fluid
D
(water) = Density of water
With pressure in psi: Level (meters) = (0.703069 • P / SG)
with pressure in bar: Level (meters) = 1.019715 • P / SG)
Mass conversion
m = D(water) • SG • V
where m = mass of fluid
D
(water) = Density of water = 1000 kg/m3
SG = Specific Gravity of fluid
V = Volume of fluid (m3)
m (kg) = 1000 • SG • V

5.2 Reference
Volume calculations
Vertical cylinder: V = π• d2 • h/4
where d = diameter of cylinder
h = height of fluid
Rectangular vessel: V = w • l • h

l = length
Horizontal cylinder: V = A • L
where A = area of segment
L = Length of vessel

5.3 Relay Operation
Relay outputs can be used as switches that respond when the
process variables move above or below setpoints, or when the
process variables move outside of a window.
• The relays may be turned Off if not in use.
• Response can be delayed up to 6400 s ( see Calibrate menu).
Low:
Relay is energized when process variable is less than the setpoint.
The relay relaxes when the process variable moves above the
setpoint plus the hysteresis value.
High:
Relay is energized when process variable is greater than the
setpoint. The relay relaxes when the process variable moves
below the setpoint plus the hysteresis value.
Window
Relay is energized when the process variable moves above or
below a fixed window of values. The relay relaxes when the
process variable moves inside the window by more than the
hysteresis value.
Note:
Relays will operate in reverse if miswired. Observe relay logic
appropriate to the application.
6. VIEW menu
• During normal operation, the ProcessPro displays the VIEW menu.
