Mounting
unting The optimum gauge mounting configuration depends on the application;
Configurations however, the source head and the detector are typically mounted together
on the opposite sides of a pipe. The following mounting options are
supported for the gauge:
● Dual chain
● Pipe saddle (cradle) mount
● Pipe spool with gauge head pre-installed
The chain mount is the most frequently used mounting configuration, as it
allows the unit to be mounted on a range of pipe sizes using the same
mounting hardware.
Note Moving the gauge to a pipe with a different diameter may require
changing the radiation source size and/or reconfiguring the detector (ion
chamber) electronics. Contact Thermo Fisher for assistance. ▲
In addition to the guidelines listed earlier in this chapter, note the

following when planning gauge head installation.
● Whichever mounting configuration is used, it is important to align the
beam path (the centerline of the source housing) as closely as possible
with the centerline of the detector housing. Be sure to mount the gauge
head securely, since any movement or change in alignment can affect
the gauge’s calibration.

Installation
The Gauge Head
● For best performance the beam must pass through a representative

cross-section of the process material being measured. The gauge
measures only the material that passes through the beam. Prevent
suspended solids from settling out of the measured area by mounting
the gauge head on a vertical section of pipe.
● For mounting on a horizontal pipe:
● Position the beam path at a 30- to 45-degree angle from vertical.
This position tends to average density variations caused by settling,
while reducing the effect of any trapped gases or solids that
accumulate in the top or bottom of the pipe.
● If the process material is a solution, a light slurry, or a single-phase
liquid that will not separate, the gauge head can be mounted such
that the beam is horizontal.
● If the process material is a slurry, position the gauge head as far as
possible from any elbows, tees, or valves (these tend to separate
suspended solids). Position the beam path in the plane of the upstream
elbow so the measurement includes any uneven distribution caused by
the fitting.

b. 1 chain: Place center ring of chain over the bolt head.
c. 1 bar nut: Position the guard tube towards the bolt head.
d. 1 special nut: Thread the nut securely onto the bolt end. After the
special nut is fully threaded, thread the bar nut back down the bolt
so that it rests against the special nut.
4. From the pipe side of the source mounting plate, thread one end of a
chain through the plate’s top keyhole opening until you reach one of
the four end links you marked in step 1. Engage this link by sliding it
into one of the keyhole slots.
5. Thread one end of the other chain through the bottom keyhole and
engage the marked link as you did with the top chain.
6. Position the source housing mounting plate on the pipe. If necessary,

use a lift, hoist, or other means to hold it in position.
7. Pass the center part of the upper and lower chains around the pipe and
thread their ends through the corresponding keyholes. Engage the
marked links in the empty slots.
Note All four chain ends must engage at the same link. If you make an
adjustment, adjust all four chain ends by the same amount. Also make sure
there are no twists in the chain as you wrap it around the pipe. Otherwise
the gauge head will not be aligned correctly. ▲

Installation

Note You may need to adjust chain links (thread more or fewer links
through each slot) to allow for pipe size tolerance, insulation, etc. Start with
approximately 10 cm (4 inches) of play. ▲
8. Position the detector on the pipe, opposite the source mounting plate.
If necessary, use a lift, hoist, or other means to hold it in position.
9. To secure the detector and the source head mounting plate on the pipe:
a. Position the upper chain, including the tensioning bolt assembled
earlier, over the detector’s top mounting arm.
b. Place a spacer ring and two Belleville washers with concave sides
together onto the pilot end of the special nut.
c. Insert the pilot end of the chain tensioning bolt into the hole in the
top detector mounting arm and tighten the chain tensioning bolt
finger-tight.
d. Repeat the previous three steps for the lower chain.
10. Alternately and uniformly tighten the chain tensioning bolts until the
spacers are just touching the mounting arms.
11. Place the loose ends of the upper chain over the top edge of the source
mounting plate so they will not interfere with the source housing
installation.
12. Position the source housing so its four mounting holes engage the four
studs on the mounting plate. If necessary, use a lift, hoist, or other
means to hold it in position.
13. Use the provided lock washers and nuts to secure the source housing.
Pipe Saddle (Cradle) A pipe saddle, or cradle, mount consists of two identical mounting plates
Mount that are bolted together on opposite sides of the process pipe.

4. Remove the cable conduit plugs only from the hole(s) that will be used.
As shown in the installation layout drawing 868695, lay one conduit
for the signal cables (and DC power input, if applicable), and a second
conduit for the AC power input.
5. Pull each cable through the correct conduit fitting and into the
enclosure. Leave approximately 150 mm (six inches) for strain relief.
Secure the conduit, making sure it is completely sealed.
6. Connect the input power and the signal wires as follows. Reference the
installation wiring drawing 868577.
a. Remove the plug-in screw-terminal connector from the board
connector. The connector should be tightly seated. To remove the
connector, brace the board with your hand, being careful not to
touch any of the circuits or components.
b. Use a 1/8-inch screwdriver to loosen the screws on the plug-in
connector.
c. Insert the wires and make connections as shown in the installation
wiring drawing.
d. Tighten the screws in the connector to secure the wires and plug
the screw-terminal connector back into the corresponding onboard
connector.
e. The optional temperature compensation board uses a spring
terminal block connector. For each wire to be connected, use a flat
screwdriver to push and hold the appropriate tab down. Insert the
wire, and then release the tab to secure the wire.
7. When the detector wiring is complete, replace and secure the detector

The current output is normally shipped from the factory configured as an
isolated self-powered output. You can reconfigure the current output as
isolated loop-powered by removing the jumper from pins 3 and 4 of the J5
connector. In the loop-powered configuration, the user must supply +24
Vdc loop power to pin 3 of J5. Pin 2 of J5 is Iout+.
The current output is programmable between 3.8 and 20.5 mA. Refer to
the DensityPRO+ user guide for details. The minimum output in the self-
powered configurations is approximately 0.4 mA. The minimum output
current in the loop-powered configuration is approximately 3 mA.
Maximum load is 800 ohms.

Wiring
Serial Communications
Contact Closure Two contact closure inputs are included on each I/O board. They are dry
contact inputs between ground and switch 1 and ground and switch 2. The
(Switch) Inputs gauge can be configured to execute a command or other function upon a
user-provided contact opening or closing. Refer to the DensityPRO+ user
guide for details on assigning commands to the contact closure inputs.
Temperature Temperature compensation circuitry with 2-wire or 3-wire 100 ohm

Compensation platinum RTD is optionally available. For 9701/9702 scintillation
detectors, connections are made at J19. For 9719B/9720B ion chamber
detectors, connections are made from the temperature compensation board.
For the 1400A/1400S transmitter, connections are made at J1A of the VPI
board installed in the PCB 4 slot. Reference the appropriate installation
wiring diagrams for specific wiring information.
Flow Input There is a provision on the VPI board for a user-provided 4–20 mA flow
input (pins 6 and 7 of connector J1A). Refer to the DensityPRO+ user
guide for details on how to configure the gauge to use the flow input signal.
Serial The transmitter provides one RS232 single-drop serial interface. One
RS485 multi-drop serial interface is optionally available. Screw-terminal
Communications connectors for both ports are located on the CPU board.
The optional RS485 connector (J6) includes the +8 Vdc required to power
the Thermo Scientific HHT as well as the +DATA and –DATA
connections. An RJ-11 (phone jack) connector is also provided for the
RS485 port. The HHT can be connected directly to the RJ-11 connector.
Both the RS232 and optional RS485 ports are always active and provide
independent access to the measurement readings and software functions.
The setup menus, however, can only be accessed by one port at a time. For
information on configuring communications, refer to the DensityPRO+
user guide.

Wiring
Serial Communications
Optional RS485 Connecting a PC serial port (COM) to the optional RS485 port on the
gauge requires an RS485/RS232 converter (p/n 670045). The J6 connector
Wiring on the transmitter CPU is for the RS485 connections. Refer to installation
wiring drawing 868680-2 and make the RS485 connections as follows.
1. Connect +DATA and –DATA on the RS485 connector (J6) to the

corresponding connections on the RS485/RS232 converter.
2. Connect the RS485/RS232 converter to the PC using a standard DB9

serial cable.
RS485 Termination If you are having trouble using another device on the RS485 chain, verify
that it is properly terminated for its position on the chain. To terminate a
device, connect a 120  resistor between its RS485 +/– data terminals.
Never terminate more than the first and last device in the chain.
The transmitter includes a three-pin header (W4), located near the bottom-
front edge of the CPU board next to the RS485 connector (J6), to
terminate the RS485 connection.
For a single unit installation or for a multiple unit installation where the
transmitter is the last unit in line, the W4 jumper should be placed on pins
1 and 2 to terminate the RS485 line.
For a multiple unit installation where the transmitter is the not last unit in
line, the W4 jumper should be placed on pins 2 and 3 so that the RS485
line is not terminated at the transmitter.
RS232 Wiring COM1 or COM2 on a PC can be connected directly to the transmitter

RS232 port. This connection requires five wires: ground, TX, RX, RTS,
and CTS. The RS232 port connector (J8) is located on the transmitter
CPU board. Connections for standard DB9 and DB25 PC serial port
connectors are listed in the table below.

Appendix D
Adding Ferrite Clamps to 1400S
Transmitter
Note The ferrite clamps are only used in the ATEX version of the 1400S
transmitter. They are not required for the CSA version or the plastic 1400A
transmitter. If needed, the ferrite clamps kit may be ordered separately. ▲
In order for the 1400S transmitter to meet electromagnetic emission

requirements for CE-EMC approvals, ferrite clamps must be installed
within the transmitter enclosure on all power and signal wiring going into
and out of the transmitter housing.
Procedure The ferrite clamp is part of the EMC ferrite clamps kit (p/n 868773). The
kit consists of the following:
● Five ferrite clamps (p/n 5-2720-007)
● At least one clamp “key”
● The procedure
The clamp key is used to remove the ferrite clamp from the wire during
wiring changes.
Figure D–1. Ferrite clamps

A ferrite clamp will need to be installed on all wiring that enters or exits the
transmitter enclosure. This may be a shielded twisted pair or a bundle of
individual wires. The limitation is that the wires through one clamp cannot
exceed 5 mm in diameter. Also, all of the clamps MUST be installed within
the enclosure.
Thermo Fisher Scientific DensityPRO+ Installation Guide D-1

Adding Ferrite Clamps to 1400S Transmitter
Procedure
Figure D–2. Ferrite clamps installed within enclosure

As shown in Figure D–2 the ferrite clamp can be placed around a shielded
twisted pair cable or a bundle of individual cables, as long as the diameter
of the bundle does not exceed 5 mm (a little over 3/16”).
The ferrite clamp kit (p/n 868773) contains five clamps. Depending on
your wiring scheme, you may need additional clamps. They can be ordered
using part number 5-2720-007.
For example, in a Thermo Scientific DensityPRO+ system with a
scintillation detector, flow input, and three outputs, there will be eight
shielded twisted pair cables and one power cable. This system would
require a total of nine ferrite clamps. So you would need either two kits or
one kit and four additional clamps to be EMC compliant.
Note All ATEX version 1400S transmitters shipped after August 2009 will
contain one ferrite clamp kit and will have one ferrite clamp installed on
the AC voltage input wiring. ▲
Note If the locking mechanism of the clamp should fail, a plastic wire tie
can be used to secure the clamp around the wire. ▲
