INTRODUCTION
This manual is issued specifically for the data processing racks of the TA3840 or EMx40 system.
It contains instructions detailed for functioning, operation and cleaning of this system.
Keep this manual to hand so that you can refer to it at any time. Ensure that it is
complete and kept close to the equipment.
The racks TA3840C and TA3840S, as well as the TA3840R repeater module are integrated in the
system for processing the tankers liquid cargo. Maintenance must be carried out by a qualified
operator in communicating electronic systems.
We also draw your attention to the fact that the connection of equipments or the use of products
other than those recommended by Honeywell Marine may present risks for which we will not be
liable.
This manual must not be reproduced in any form whatsoever without the prior written approval of
Honeywell Marine who cannot be held responsible for any use of the information contained in this
manual.
As we want you to take advantage of the most of the latest technology and new equipment, as well
as to benefit from our experience, our equipments may undergo technical or design changes. As a
result, some of the features and information in this manual may change without prior notice and
without any obligation to up-date it.
Should you encounter any problems or have any questions about your TA3840 or EMx40 system,
please do not hesitate to contact your nearest Honeywell Marine customer service.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS:
Current regulations and legislation applicable to hazardous areas must imperatively
be known and followed by personnel responsible for commissioning and operating
an intrinsically safe equipment.
Take care to switch the power off before proceeding to any disconnection or
removal of the transmitters.
WARNING:
Our equipments are designed and manufactured in accordance with local Our
equipments are designed and manufactured in accordance with local safety
regulations, and in particular European directives relative to reconciling
member states' legislation:
● 89/336/EEC and 2004/108/EC "Electromagnetic compatibility",
● ATEX 94/9/EC "Equipment and protective systems intended for use in
potentially explosive atmospheres",
● 96/98/EC "Marine equipment".
The EM540, EM940 radar and associated transmitters are certified for use in
hazardous area according to the intrinsic safety protection type. Examination
certificates are supplied in appendix.
They are intended for professional use and must be installed, used and
maintained by competent staff who are qualified in this type of equipment.
In particular we wish to draw your attention to the fact that we cannot be held
responsible if:
● Any technical alterations are made to our appliances without our written
authorization,
● Our equipments are damaged by being operated in conditions other than
the intended usage of their technical classification (power supply,
temperature, environment, etc.).
The safety instructions given in this manual are merely given for guidance
purposes to protect you and all those using and working on our equipments.
Honeywell Marine cannot foresee all dangerous situations that might arise.
This is why the owner and/or the operator is responsible for the operating
safety of the system.

The EMx40 radar level transmitters measure the liquid level inside the tank and
transmit the information to the TA3840C communication unit by means of the
TA3840S safety unit located in cargo control room. Each EMx40 radar is fitted with
entries for temperature/pressure transmitter and the EM940 radar with additional
analog transmitters.
The LOG3840 deck digital indicator displays locally the level, temperatures,
pressure measured by transmitters. It is powered by the TA3840S safety unit and
communicates on the same bus than the radar.
General synopsis
The general synopsis of the system is shown on the previous page.
● Measures the liquid level (in mm) by processing the microwave signal thanks to its
dedicated signal processor,
● Concentrates the measurements of:
- Liquid temperature coming from three sensors at different levels (top, middle
and bottom of the tank),
- IG pressure coming from a pressure sensor,
- Up to two other analog measurements for EM940 radar

Operation
The display mode for level (ullage or innage), the unit used for level and temperature, and
the pressure decimal dot are set up by means of the utility software.
Only the different temperatures display, step by step, is possible.
● Touch the switch (A) with the magnet to display successively the average temperature
and the temperature measured by each sensor, according to the data availability
depending to the current T901-P transmitter type.
