Introduction
Scope of Manual
This manual provides installation, operating, calibra-
tion, maintenance, and parts ordering information for
the 2500 and 2503 Series pneumatic controllers and
transmitters used in combination with 249 Series dis-
placer sensors.
Note
This manual does not include installa-
tion or maintenance procedures for the
supply pressure regulator, sensor, or
other devices. For that information, refer
to the appropriate instruction manual
for the other device.
Only qualified personnel should install, operate, and
maintain these controller/transmitters. If you have any
questions concerning these instructions, contact your
Fisher Controls sales office or sales representative
before proceeding.
Description
These instruments control or transmit the fluid level,
the level of interface between two fluids, or the density
(specific gravity). Each unit consists of a 249 Series
displacer-type fluid level sensor and a 2500 or 2503
Series pneumatic controller or transmitter. Figure 1
shows a typical controller-sensor combination.
Specifications
Refer to table 1 for specifications.
Installation
The 2500 and 2503 Series controller/transmitters work
in combination with 249 Series displacer-type sensors.
The factory attaches the controller/transmitter to the
sensor, unless it is ordered separately.
Sensor Assembly
Table 2 lists sensors recommended for use with con-
troller/transmitters. For sensor installation and mainte-
nance, refer to the appropriate sensor instruction
manual.
WARNING
When replacing the sensor assembly,
the displacer may retain process fluid or
pressure. Personal injury or property
damage may occur due to sudden re-
lease of the pressure. Contact with haz-
ardous fluid, fire, or explosion can be
caused by puncturing, heating, or re-
pairing a displacer retaining process
pressure or fluid. This danger may not
be readily apparent when disassembling
the sensor assembly or removing the
displacer. Before disassembling the
sensor or removing the displacer, ob-
serve the more specific warning pro-
vided in the sensor instruction manual.
Uncrating
Unless ordered separately, the controller/transmitter is
attached to the sensor when shipped. Carefully un-
crate the assembly.
