The panel mounting option has a black enclosure, and is designed for control room panel or
cabinet installation.
Note
The Mobrey MCU900 Series is designed for non-hazardous (safe) area installation, but
can be connected to a transmitter installed in a hazardous area.
See Appendix B: Product Certifications for the control unit certifications.
For applications where the control unit functionality is linked to other external events, there are
two digital input ports for accepting contact closure signals.
The isolated 4–20 mA signal output from the Current Output of the control unit is driven by a
Primary / Process Value (PV) e.g. level.

a menu system and for viewing or changing application parameters.
When navigating the menu system, the UP-ARROW button is for moving upwards one line.
At other times, this button is for scrolling through a list of alphanumeric characters or a list of options.
When navigating the menu system, the DOWN-ARROW button is for moving downwards one line.
At other times, this button is for scrolling through a list of alphanumeric characters or a list of options.
The LEFT-ARROW button is for moving left e.g. to another character when editing a parameter value.
The RIGHT-ARROW button is for moving right e.g. to another character when editing a parameter value.
When navigating the menu system, use the ESCAPE button to return to a previous menu level and the
Full PV Display. At other times, e.g. while editing, the button is for restoring a setting that is being edited.
2.4.3 Display
After the power-up and self-checks are completed, the Full PV Display is presented.
The default Full PV Display typically features a digital clock, a measured variable with display
units, and status icons. There are some display differences between control units:
On the MCU901 and MCU902, a bar graph indicates the 4–20mA output signal.
(The MCU90F display can be changed to show the bar graph).
On the MCU902, an extra icon on the first line and indicates if one or two HART
transmitters connected to the control unit.
On the MCU90F, there are two totalizers displayed; one above and one below the
control unit Primary / Process Value (PV).

2. Do not mount the control unit on a structure that is subject to vibration, or in a position
where damage may be caused by impact, thermal stress or liquid ingress.
3. The fuse must only be replaced with the type specified (see page 108 for procedure).
4. If the equipment is likely to come into contact with aggressive substances, it is the
responsibility of the user to take suitable precautions that prevent it from being
adversely affected, thus ensuring that the type of protection is not compromised.
Aggressive Substances - e.g. acidic liquids or gases that may attack metals or solvents
that may affect polymeric materials.
Suitable Precautions - e.g. regular checks as part of routine inspections or establishing
from the material's data sheet that it is resistant to specific chemicals.
7. A mains powered Control Unit must not be connected to a supply exceeding 250 V
r.m.s. or dc, or to apparatus containing a source of voltage exceeding 250 V r.m.s. or dc.
8. A direct current (dc) powered control unit must not be connected to a supply
exceeding 30 Vdc or apparatus containing a source of voltage exceeding 30 Vdc.
9. The intrinsically safe outputs of the control unit may be connected to certified
equipment used in a hazardous area. Refer to Appendix B: Product Certifications for
details of relevant certifications.
10. Cable between the MCU900 Series control unit and a transmitter should be shielded,
twisted-pair with the shield connected to terminal 3 (marked with earth symbol) on the

Reference Manual Section 3: Installation
IP2030/RM, Rev AA June 2014
Procedure
1. Mount the unit on a suitable wall or structure using the fixing points shown on
Figure A-1 on page 121.
Do not mount the control unit on a structure that is subject to vibration, or in a position
where damage may be caused by impact, thermal stress, or liquid ingress
Where three of more units are fitted in the same cabinet or panel, ensure that there is
adequate air circulation to aid cooling. It is recommended that an air circulation fan be
fitted
The unit requires at least 6.5 in. (165 mm) clearance behind the mounting panel to
avoid cable fouling
After mounting the control unit, all wiring is made at the rear of the unit using the two
part terminal blocks provided. (A pre-wired data download socket suitable for front
panel mounting is provided on the MCU90F)
Mount the control unit on a panel with thickness 1.5 to 10 mm, ensuring the panel is
strong enough to support the 2.6 lb. (1.2 kg) weight of the unit
Ensuring there is enough clearance behind the chosen position in the panel (6.5 in [165
mm] minimum), cut a horizontal slot 5.43 in. (138 mm) long by 2.68 in. (68 mm) high
in the panel and remove any rough edges

control unit against the panel.
12 Section 3: Installation
Reference Manual Section 3: Installation
IP2030/RM, Rev AA June 2014
The cabling between the Mobrey MCU900 Series control unit and a transmitter should be a
screened (shielded), twisted-pair type with the cable screen (shield) connected to terminal 3
(marked with earth/ground symbol) on the Mobrey MCU900 Series control unit. The cable
screen (shield) should be left unconnected at the transmitter end unless there is a terminal
specifically provided for this purpose.
Cable runs should be separate from any high voltage or mains cables to avoid crosstalk or
interference.
Figure 3.4.2 on page 15 shows the layout of the control unit terminals. All terminal blocks are
suitable for wires 14 to 26 AWG (0,5 to 1,5 mm), except the mains terminals which are suitable
for wires 10 AWG (2,5 mm). Insulation should be stripped back 1/4 in. (7 mm).
Transmitter connections are made on the left side of the terminals enclosure. The intrinsically
safe earth/ground (terminal 30) must be connected to a high integrity earth/ground point if the
transmitter connected to terminals 1 and 2 is sited in a hazardous area.
Note
Use only 167 F (75 C) copper conductors for field wiring.
Note
In intrinsically safe systems, apparatus connected to the MCU900 Series control unit
must not be supplied from a voltage greater than 250V r.m.s. or 250 Vdc.

(The direct current (dc) powered unit has a slightly different layout – terminals 31 and 32 replace terminals 28 and 29).
Two cable glands, rated IP65 and suitable for cable with outside diameter 4 to 7 mm, are
supplied for use with the mains supply and transmitter cable. M20 blanking plugs are supplied
for the other three cable entry positions.
All glands and blanking plugs are supplied in a plastic bag. The installer must fit these, or
suitable equivalents, in place of the transit red-caps, to ensure weatherproofing of the control
unit. The white sealing washers supplied with the cable glands and blanking plugs must be fitted
on the outside of the enclosure under gland/blanking plug.
14 Section 3: Installation
Reference Manual Section 3: Installation
IP2030/RM, Rev AA June 2014
Note
The plug/socket terminal connectors on the panel mount unit are polarized (keyed)
to prevent inter-changeability and incorrect connection.
Cabling between the Mobrey MCU900 Series control unit and a transmitter should be a
screened (shielded), twisted-pair type with the cable screen (shield) connected to terminal 3
(marked with earth/ground symbol) on the control unit. The cable screen (shield) should be left
unconnected at the transmitter end unless there is a terminal specifically provided for this
purpose. Cable runs should be separate from any high voltage or mains cables to avoid crosstalk
or interference.
(The direct current (dc) powered unit has a slightly different layout – terminals 31 and 32 replace terminals 28 and 29).
Section 3: Installation 15
Section 3: Installation Reference Manual
June 2014 IP2030/RM, Rev AA
When the control unit is direct current (dc) powered, ensure the supply is adequate (15 to 30
Vdc). Do not exceed 30 Vdc.
A switch or circuit breaker should be installed in close proximity to the instrument, and labelled
as such. Although the Mobrey MCU900 Series control unit meets all European standards for
surge immunity on power and signal lines, it is recommended that lightning suppressors are
also fitted if local conditions make this advisable.
Do not connect terminal 30 to a mains earth. Terminal 30 is provided for use as an intrinsically
safe (or functional) earth connection, which must be used when a transmitter is mounted in a
hazardous area and is connected to terminals 1 and 2.
Terminal 3 is to be used for connection of a twisted-pair cable screen (shield) when the control
unit is powering the transmitter (see Figure 3-4 on page 17). This screen (shield) should be left
unconnected at the transmitter end unless there is a terminal provided for this purpose.
When connected to equipment located in a hazardous area, not meeting the requirements of
clause 6.3.12 (Isolation of circuits from earth or frame) in IEC 60079-11:2006
(EN 60079-11:2007), equipotential earthing must be ensured between the equipment and the
intrinsically safe earth. An example of equipotential earthing is a cable with a cross-sectional
area greater than 4 mm2 and a resistance of less than 1 ohm.
Check that the electrical parameters of the installed system of control unit, transmitter, any
loop-powered devices, and interconnecting cable to ensure compliance with the product
certificates and technical data. Particular attention must be given to the cable and the
transmitter to ensure that the total capacitance and inductance limits stated in the technical
data in Appendix B: Product Certifications are not exceeded.
Cable joins are allowable in cabling the transmitter, provided that the joint is made within an
IP20/NEMA 3 (minimum) enclosure suitable for the environment, and that wiring withstands a
test voltage of 500 V r.m.s. to earth.
The maximum length of cable permissible between the transmitter and control unit is
determined by limits imposed by the intrinsic safety certificates of the instruments and control
drawings.
16 Section 3: Installation
Reference Manual Section 3: Installation
IP2030/RM, Rev AA June 2014
No other outputs from the control unit must be routed through a hazardous area unless
protected by an additional I.S. Barrier (not supplied).
It is the responsibility of the user to ensure that any transmitter is installed in accordance with
the manufacturer’s instructions supplied with the transmitter.
Cable between the MCU900 Series control unit and a transmitter should be shielded
twisted-pair with the shield connected to terminal 3 (marked with earth symbol) on the
MCU900 Series control unit. The shield should be left unconnected at the transmitter unless
there is a terminal specifically provided for this purpose.
Cable runs should be separate from any high voltage or mains cables to avoid crosstalk or
interference. Multi-core cable may be used if the other cores carry only low voltage (24 Vdc
nominal) signals and each pair of cores is individually screened (shielded).
The MCU900 Series control unit supplies 23 Vdc from a 400 Ohm source to power transmitters.
Separately powered transmitters must be connected to terminals 2 and 3 (see Figure 3-5).

For correct operation, each HART transmitter must be changed to “multi-drop” mode to allow
them to communicate with the Mobrey MCU902 control unit through a common connection.
Each HART transmitter must therefore have their poll address changed from the factory default
address of “0” to a unique address.
The MCU902 control unit is used to achieve this address change, but requires the transmitters
to be connected in a specific sequence as detailed here:
1. With the power supply turned off, connect the first HART transmitter to the Current
Input terminals on the MCU902 control unit (see Figure 3-6).
3. After applying power, the control unit searches for a HART transmitter.
A HART transmitter with the factory default polling address of 0 is found after 15
seconds. The control unit automatically changes the Transmitter Poll Address from “0”
to “1” and it is designated “Tx1” (Transmitter 1) and assigned to Channel 1.
The control unit reads parameters from the HART transmitter and makes them
available for local interrogation and programming within the menu system.
18 Section 3: Installation
Reference Manual Section 3: Installation
IP2030/RM, Rev AA June 2014
4. When an un-configured Mobrey MSP Series Level Transmitter is being used for the first
time, a prompt appears asking for the Transmitter [1] Bottom Reference.
If commissioning the system now, edit and save a new Transmitter Bottom Reference or
keep the existing Transmitter Bottom Reference. After the start-up process is complete,
the display appears showing a measurement e.g. liquid level or the menu system.
If the system is not to be commissioned at this time, simply switch off the power and
the same prompt re-appears when switching on the power next time. The Transmitter
Bottom Reference can be changed later, but it is better to get it correct now.
Note
If the Re-connecting to Digital Transmitter message does not appear, check that the
operating mode of the control unit is set to Run App mode (see page 38) and that the
Input Channel Source is set for a digital HART input (see page 48 or page 50)
5. Turn the power supply off and connect the second HART transmitter (see Figure 3-6),
such that both HART transmitters are connected at the same time.
7. The MCU902 control unit searches for, and detects, the two connected HART
transmitters.
After the second HART transmitter is found, the control unit automatically changes the
Transmitter Poll Address from “0” to “2” and it is designated “Tx2” (Transmitter 2) and
assigned to Channel 2.
The control unit reads parameters from the HART transmitter and makes them
available for local interrogation and programming within the menu system.
8. When an un-configured Mobrey MSP Series Level Transmitter is being used for the first
time, a prompt appears asking for the Transmitter [2] Bottom Reference.
If commissioning the system now, edit and save a new Transmitter Bottom Reference or
keep the existing Transmitter Bottom Reference. After the start-up process is complete,
the display appears showing a measurement e.g. liquid level or the menu system.
If the system is not to be commissioned at this time, simply switch off the power and
the same prompt re-appears when switching on the power next time. The Transmitter
Bottom Reference can be changed later, but it is better to get it correct now.
9. The two HART transmitters are now known to the control unit, and will be remembered
each time the power is switched off and on.

A HART transmitter with the factory default polling address of 0 is found after 15 seconds.
When found by the controller, it is designated “Tx1” (Transmitter 1) and assigned to Channel 1.
However, if the polling address is in the range 1 to 15, a prompt appears allowing the polling
address and the tag name to be changed. This is optional, and pressing the red (ENTER) button
continues the start-up process.
At this time, the control unit reads parameters from the HART transmitter and makes them
available for local interrogation and programming within the menu system of the control unit.
When an un-configured Mobrey MSP Series Level Transmitter is being used for the first time, a
prompt appears asking for the Transmitter Bottom Reference (Figure 4-3). This value is used
to automatically set-up the 4–20 mA output span of the transmitter over this range.
If the system is not to be commissioned at this time, simply switch off the power and the same
prompt re-appears when switching on the power next time. The Transmitter Bottom Reference
can be changed later, but it is better to get it correct now.
If commissioning the system now, edit and save a new Transmitter Bottom Reference or
keep (save) the existing Transmitter Bottom Reference (Figure 4-3).
Note
If the Re-connecting to Digital Transmitter message does not appear, check that the
operating mode of the control unit is set to Run App mode (see page 38) and that the
Input Channel Source is set for a digital HART input (see page 48 or page 50)
After the start-up process is complete, the display appears showing a measurement e.g. liquid
level or the menu system. The value on the display is the Primary / Process Variable (PV) of the
control unit, but this can be changed (see “Display configuration options” on page 102).
Whenever power is lost and restored, the control unit re-establishes digital communications
with the HART transmitter and the PV display re-appears.

Note
If a Mobrey MSP Series transmitter is connected, refer to the reference manual of the
transmitter for full information about programming the transmitter parameters
(e.g. Transmitter Bottom Reference) using the MCU900 Series control unit or other
HART-based devices.
For information about how the control unit supports other HART transmitters, see
Appendix C: Menus and Parameters and Appendix E: Support for HART® Transmitters.
Parameters are populated throughout the menu system. They are grouped in sub-menus, which
are organized for intuitive programming. Each parameter has a unique 3-digit identification
number, prefixed by a 'P' (if programmable) or a 'D' (if for display purposes only).
Note
A full list of menus and parameters is in Appendix C: Menus and Parameters
With some experience, it becomes easy to locate parameters. Alternatively, parameters can be
accessed directly by entering their unique 3-digit identification number. Details of this
Advanced access feature are in Appendix D: Additional Features.
To understand the basics about editing a parameter setting, follow the worked examples for

If square brackets are used in the notation, e.g. MAIN MENU / SETUP / [CONTROL UNIT], it
signifies that the bracketed menu does not appear in all circumstances.
When HART transmitters are not being used, the SELECT INSTRUMENT screen does not appear.
As there is no need to select the control unit menu or a HART transmitter (Tx1 or Tx2) menu, the
menus that appear after selecting MAIN MENU / SETUP are purely for the control unit.
Note:
Before using the App Wizard with a 4–20 mA transmitter, the Input Channel 1 source
parameter P111 on the control unit must be set for a 4–20 mA input (see page 44)
Level and volume measurement duties are not available on the MCU90F Logging unit.
This includes how to switch on the keyboard sound, setting the date/time, and changing
language. See “Optional change: system settings” on page 42.
Optionally change transmitter input channel settings (advanced users)
This is for advanced users and looks in-depth at how the input channels are used to obtain the
control unit Process Value / Primary Value (PV) value from a transmitter.
See “Optional change: transmitter input channel settings (advanced users)” on page 43
For most users, the App Wizard will set-up the majority of applications with no need of
direct changes to input channel parameters.
Optionally change application settings (advanced users)
This is for advanced users and looks in-depth at further processing of PV values to get content
(volume) or flow rate values, which can be shown on the display. A totalizer function can also be
set-up. For most users, the App Wizard will set-up the majority of applications with no
need of direct changes to application parameters.
See “Volumetric contents and flow measurement applications (advanced users)” on page 52
and “Using a plotted profile for calculating volume or flow” on page 61.
This includes how to allocate actions to digital inputs (IN1 and IN2).
See “Digital inputs IN1 and IN2” on page 63.
Optionally change output settings
This includes configuring data logging (page 64), alarm handling (page 91), the display
(page 102), serial communications (page 104), and PIN security (page 105).
By default, security restrictions are switched off and the user has access to all parameters.
After programming (configuring) is complete, a PIN security code can be used to prevent
unauthorized access. For details, refer to Section “PIN Security” on page 105.
For checks e.g. auto-cycle of the control unit Primary / Process Value (PV), diagnostics, and
fault-finding, see Section 5: Servicing and Health Checking.
Press the red (ENTER) button at the Run App? or Program? screen to switch between these
two operating modes (Figure 4-12)
An open padlock icon indicates the MCU900 Series control unit is presently in the Program
mode.
In this mode, the unit can be programmed. The Current Output and all Relay Outputs are frozen
unless allocated to totalizing and sampler duties. Fault relays are de-energized.
A closed padlock icon indicates that the MCU900 Series control unit is presently in the Run App
mode. In this mode, most of the unit cannot be programmed. The Current Output and all Relay
Outputs operate as normal.
The Program? screen (Figure 4-12) appears automatically if an attempt is made to edit a
parameter whilst in Run App mode. A security PIN can be set-up to restrict the mode change.

If a message appears saying that the units are not set, it is because the HART transmitter has not
been found by the control unit when power was applied. Change the operating mode from
Program to Run App mode and the control unit will attempt to re-connect to the transmitter.
Note
When using a MCU902 control unit, it is necessary to select Difference, Sum, Product,

For most users, the App Wizard will set-up the majority of applications with no need of
direct changes to input channel parameters.
Parameter P150 selects how final values from transmitter input channels 1 (D851) and 2 (D852)
are processed together – sum, difference, or product calculation – before being output to
parameters D800, D801, D802, or D803 ('Answers').
The factory default programming (configuration) for P150 is to allow values from D851 to go
straight to D800.
For a graphical overview, see Figure 4-17 and Figure 4-18 on page 47.
The final result of the Input Channel 1 processing is stored in D800 and is referred to as the
control unit Primary / Process Value (PV). It is shown on the factory default configuration of
the display.
First, it is essential to know the units for the measurements coming from the transmitter.
When this is known, navigate the menu system to SETUP / [CONTROLLER /] DISPLAY / PV Units
for the PV Units parameter P200 and then select the measurement units that are to be shown
for the control unit PV on the display.
Please note that the PV Units parameter (P200) does not automatically convert the transmitter
input or the control unit PV into alternative units. It is necessary to enter a conversion factor into
parameter P114 (see the descriptions that follow).
Set Input Channel 1 to receive input from a 4–20 mA transmitter
1. Navigate to the menu SETUP / [CONTROLLER /] INPUT CHANNEL / Ch1 I/P Source for
the Ch1 I/P Source parameter P111.
Note
The built-in Application (App) Wizard is an easy-to-use configuration tool that can be
used to automatically populate values and settings in the input channel parameters.
Navigate to: SETUP / [CONTROLLER /] APPLICATION / App Wizard
Before using the App Wizard with a 4–20 mA transmitter, the Input Channel 1 source
parameter P111 on the control unit must be set for a 4–20 mA signal input; this is not
the factory default setting for P111.
Analog measurements (level, pressure, and temperature, etc.) are input to the control unit as a
4–20 mA signal, and pass through a conditioning stage (to remove spikes) and a damping stage
(to smooth out large jumps in signals).
The damping can be adjusted by changing the time setting (in seconds) in parameter P321.
Navigate to the menu SETUP / [CONTROLLER /] INPUT CHANNEL / Cur I/P Damping.
The signal is then checked to ensure it is within the range of 3.7 to 20.75 mA. Signals outside
this range cause an alarm condition, which may be externally signalled using a control unit relay
(see “Alarm indication selection” on page 91).
Conversion of signal into a percentage value
By default, the mA signal (readable via D840) is converted (normalized) into a percentage in the
range 0 to 100% (readable via D842), where 4 mA is 0% and 20 mA is 100%.
Note
The control unit can process mA input values in the range 3.8 to 20.5 mA
Read-only parameters D840 and D842 are in the menu MONITOR / DIAGNOSTICS
Note
The output from this adjustment is readable in D802 and is the Tertiary Value (TV) of
the control unit. D802 = D842 + P112
P112 is in the menu SETUP / [CONTROLLER /] INPUT CHANNEL / Ch1 I/P Offset
Changing the PV display units (P200) does not automatically convert the control unit PV to be in
alternative units. A user-entered value in P114 is used to convert (scale) the offset-adjusted
percentage value (D802) to a new value (D801) that is in the required measurement units.
If the mA input represents a liquid level, simply set P114 to the level represented by 20 mA.
Note
D801 is the Secondary Value (SV) of the control unit. D801 = (D802/100) * P114
P114 is not applied if the PV display units (P200) are already configured to be “%”
P114 is in the menu SETUP / [CONTROLLER /] INPUT CHANNEL / Ch1 Pre Scale
Read-only parameters D80* are in the menu MONITOR / READINGS
By selecting a vessel profile or calculation using P113, a level measurement in D801 can be used
to calculate a volume measurement or open channel flow rate that is then stored in D851.
The programming (configuring) required for this is in “Volumetric contents and flow
measurement applications (advanced users)” on page 52.
Applying an optional low volume or flow rate cut-off action
The channel 1 output result in D851 can be forced to zero when it falls below a positive
threshold, which is a percentage of the maximum flow. Enter the percentage in P117.
By default, the setting is “None” to switch off this optional check.
This feature is particularly useful in an open channel flow application where a small standing or
remaining liquid level in the channel would cause continued totalizing of flow when no actual
flow exists. As a guide, set P117 to a positive value of 2% of maximum flow to overcome this
problem.

Before using the App Wizard, the Input Channel 1 parameter P111 on the control unit
must be set for a HART input. This is the factory default setting for P111.
The HART transmitter digitally communicates pre-calculated values of four HART variables
Primary Variable (PV), Secondary Variable (SV), Tertiary Variable (TV), and Fourth Variable (FV)
to the MCU900 Series control unit.
Selection of a HART variable as source for further processing
Parameter P111 selects one of the four HART variables (PV, SV, TV, or FV) on the transmitter to
be the source for further processing to get a result from Input Channel 1. The un-selected HART
variables are mapped to control unit D80x parameters (see Figure 4-17 on page 47).
Note
In Figure 4-17 on page 47, the selected source is the HART Primary Variable (PV).
Alternatively, Tx1: SV, Tx1: TV, or Tx1: FV can be selected.
Read-only parameters D80* are in the menu MONITOR / READINGS
Parameter P112 is a positive, negative, or zero offset for adjustment of the selected HART
variable. As an example, this feature may be used to handle a standing level in a tank.
Note
P112 is in the menu:
SETUP / [CONTROLLER /] INPUT CHANNEL / Ch1 I/P Offset (on MCU901/3) or
SETUP / [CONTROLLER /] PV CALCULATION / CHANNEL 1 / Ch1 I/P Offset (on MCU902)
If volumetric or flow values are in the selected HART variable, set parameter P113 to Scaled.
Use parameter P114 to convert (scale) the value into units that match the display units you may
have selected (P200, P201, P202 or P203, as applicable in SETUP / [CONTROLLER /] DISPLAY).
If level values are in the selected HART variable, parameter P113 can be set to Scaled if wanting
just level measurement, and then use parameter P114 as described above. By selecting profile
calculation using P113, a level value can be used to calculate a volumetric or open channel flow
rate. The programming (configuring) required for this can be found in “Volumetric contents and
flow measurement applications (advanced users)” on page 52.
Note
P113 and P114 are in the sub-menus /Ch1 Profile and /Ch1 Pre scale at:
SETUP / [CONTROLLER /] INPUT CHANNEL (on MCU901/3) or
SETUP / [CONTROLLER /] PV CALCULATION / CHANNEL 1 (on MCU902)
The channel 1 output result in D851 can be forced to zero when it falls below a positive
threshold, which is a percentage of the maximum flow. Enter the percentage in P117.
By default, the setting is “None” to switch off this optional check.
This feature is particularly useful in an open channel flow application where a small standing or
remaining liquid level in the channel would cause continued totalizing of flow when no actual

for the Ch2 I/P Source parameter P121.
Note
The built-in Application (App) Wizard is an easy-to-use configuration tool that can be
used to automatically populate values and settings in the input channel parameters.
Navigate to: SETUP / [CONTROLLER /] APPLICATION / App Wizard
Before using the App Wizard, the Input Channel 2 parameter P121 on the control unit
must be set for a HART input. This is the factory default setting for P121.
The HART transmitter digitally communicates pre-calculated values of four HART variables
Primary Variable (PV), Secondary Variable (SV), Tertiary Variable (TV), and Fourth Variable (FV)
to the MCU900 Series control unit.
Selection of a HART variable as source for further processing
Parameter P121 selects one of the four HART variables (PV, SV, TV, or FV) on the transmitter to
be the source for further processing to get a result from Input Channel 2. The un-selected HART
variables are mapped to control unit D80x parameters.
Note
In Figure 4-18 on page 47, the selected source is the HART Primary Variable (PV).
Alternatively, Tx2: SV, Tx2: TV, or Tx2: FV could have been selected.
Read-only parameters D80* are in the menu MONITOR / READINGS
P122 is a positive, negative, or zero offset for adjustment of the selected HART variable.
As an example, this feature may be used to accommodate a standing value of level in a tank.
P122 is in the menu SETUP / [CONTROLLER /] PV CALCULATION / CHANNEL 2 / Ch2 I/P Offset.
Applying the optional scaling and profiling to the selected source
If volumetric or flow values are in the selected HART variable, set parameter P123 to Scaled.
Use parameter P124 to convert (scale) the value into units that match the display units you may
have selected (P200, P201, P202, or P203, as applicable in SETUP / [CONTROLLER /] DISPLAY).
If level values are in the selected HART variable, parameter P123 can be set to Scaled if wanting
just level measurement, and then use parameter P124 as described in the paragraph above.
By selecting profile calculation using P123, a level value can be used to calculate a volumetric or
open channel flow rate. The programming (configuring) required for this can be found in
“Volumetric contents and flow measurement applications (advanced users)” on page 52.
Note
P123 and P124 are in the sub-menus /Ch2 Profile and /Ch2 Pre scale at:
SETUP / [CONTROLLER /] PV CALCULATION / CHANNEL 2
The channel 2 output result in D852 can be forced to zero when it falls below a positive
threshold, which is a percentage of the maximum flow. Enter the percentage in P127.
By default, the setting is “None” to switch off this optional check.
This feature is particularly useful in an open channel flow application where a small standing or
remaining liquid level in the channel would cause continued totalizing of flow when no actual
flow exists. As a guide, set P127 to a positive value of 2% of maximum flow to overcome this
problem.

The control unit has a built-in library of popular vessel profiles for volume of contents
calculations and standard open channel profiles for flow calculations.
For other vessel and channel profiles, see “Set-up flow calculations for non-linear / non-uniform
open channel profiles (advanced users)” on page 56.
Parameter P113 (or P123) must be set to Scaled, which establishes that the volume of the
vessel contents is linearly derived from the liquid level measured by a transmitter (D801).
Note
For a 4–20 mA transmitter measuring level, the volume is calculated as:
D851 = D801 where D801 = (D802 / 100) * P114
For a HART level transmitter measuring level for Input Channel 1, the volume is
calculated as: D851 = (P114 * Level measurement after offset P112 is applied)
For a HART level transmitter measuring level for Input Channel 2, the volume is
calculated as: D852 = (P124 * Level measurement after offset P122 is applied)

For other vessel shapes, see “Set-up flow calculations for non-linear / non-uniform open

Use parameter P113 (or P123) to select a non-linear vessel shape from the option list.
The control unit then automatically populates P115 (or P125) with data from the built-in library.
The volumetric contents calculations for these non-linear profiles require an input value over the
range 0.0 to 1.0. Parameter P114 (or P124) is therefore used to convert (scale) the input signal
to a value within the range 0.0 to 1.0 for the volume calculation.

The 4–20 mA level transmitter should ideally provide a mA signal that is already scaled for the
full vessel height. P114 (or P124) can then be kept set at the default value of 1.0.
If the mA signal is not scaled for the full vessel height, P114 (or P124) must be programmed
with a value to convert (scale) the mA signal to be in the range 0.0 to 1.0. For example, if the
maximum current is below 20 mA for a full vessel, say 18 mA, set P114 = 16 * (18 - 4) = 1.143
The maximum level measurement from the HART transmitter must be equal to the height of the
liquid when the vessel is full.
The level measurement, after any input offset has been applied, must be re-scaled to the range
0.0 to 1.0 ready for input to the NLP calculation.
For example, if the level measurement range is 0.0 to 4.0, set P114 = (1.0 / 4.0) = 0.25
Setting P116 (or P126) to the maximum volume of the vessel
Parameter P116 (or P126) must be programmed with the volume of the contents in a full vessel
in the units chosen (P200, P201, P202, or P203, as applicable to the transmitter input channel).
The level measurement value, which is now in the range 0.0 to 1.0, is multiplied by the P116
(or P126) value to get the volume of the contents. The resulting volume is then passed to the
optional low volume cut-off action. See pages 45, 49, or 51, as applicable.

The control unit then automatically populates P115 (or P125) with data from the built-in library.
The flow calculations for these non-linear profiles require an input value over the range 0.0 to
1.0. Parameter P114 (or P124) is therefore used to convert (scale) the input signal to be a value
within the range 0.0 to 1.0 for the flow calculation.

Note
When using the App Wizard, select V-Notch Weir (5/2), Flume/Weir (3/2), or
Manning at the prompt for a profile. This populates parameter P113 (or P123).
The 4–20 mA level transmitter should ideally provide a mA signal that is already scaled for the
full level range expected in the flow channel. P114 (or P124) can then be kept set at the default
value of 1.0.
If the mA signal is not scaled for the full level range of the channel, P114 (or P124) must be
programmed with a value to convert (scale) the mA signal to be a value in the range 0.0 to 1.0.
For example, if the maximum current is below 20 mA for a full channel, say 12 mA,
set P114 = 16 * (12 - 4) = 2.
Setting P114 (or P124) when a HART level transmitter is connected
The maximum level measurement from the HART transmitter must be equal to the height of the
liquid when the channel is full.
The level measurement, after any input offset has been applied, must be re-scaled to the range
0.0 to 1.0 ready for input to the NLP calculation.
For example, if the level measurement range is 0.0 to 1.5 m, set P114 = (1.0 / 1.5) = 0.667
Setting P116 (or P126) to the maximum flow expected in the channel
Finally, parameter P116 (or P126) must be programmed with the maximum flow expected in
the channel, which will occur at the maximum liquid level in the channel.
The control unit Primary/Process Value (D800) for the flow rate is derived by applying the
normalized transmitter input (range 0.0 to 1.0) to the profile, and then converting (scaling) by
parameters P114 and P116 (or P124 and P126).
Note
Flow calculations require the transmitter input channel(s) to be providing continuous
level measurements (see page 43). Also, P200 (control unit PV units) must be changed
from the default % to the required flow measurement units.
Select a flume
Use parameter P113 (or P123) to select a flume from the option list. The control unit then
automatically populates parameter P115 (or P125) with data from the built-in library.
The control unit uses P115 (or P125) in a different way to when a plotted profile is required.
For flat and parabolic flumes, it is used to store values for the flow calculation in cubic metres per
hour (m3/hour) where flow Q is given by:
Q = k x (h x mul)Pwr
where h is the height of channel flow, and k and Pwr are factors.
When a flat or parabolic flume is selected, P115 / P125 (Pwr, k, and mul factors) and P116 /
P126 are populated for measuring flow in metric units of cubic metres per hour (m3/hour).
When a Parshall flume is selected, P115 / P125 (Pwr, k, and mul factors) and P116 / P126 are
populated for measuring flow in imperial units of US gallons per minute (GPM).
For flow measurement in alternative units, with automatic scaling of the control unit PV, use the
App Wizard (menu: SETUP / [CONTROLLER /] APPLICATION / App Wizard). The choice of units
offered depends on whether the transmitter is measuring in metric or imperial units.
Note
This modified version of the standard “Q=k x hPwr”flow formula allows the use of a
multiplier (mul) factor. This extra factor can account for irregularities or errors in the
flow structure, but should only be manually entered where errors can be quantified.
Pre-defined values for factors k, mul and Pwr of each standard flow structure in the
library are shown in Table 4-1 on page 60 and Table 4-2 on page 60. Depending on the
derivation of k and the level units, the h value is scaled by a different mul factor.
Experienced users may wish to manually enter the values of k, mul or Pwr for specific
applications. To edit these, set P113/P123 to be “Flume***” and then edit k, mul or
Pwr at parameter P115/P125. Use the DOWN-ARROW button to display the mul value.
When a flume is selected from this list, the MCU900 Series control unit also populates
parameters P400 and P401 (Current Output span), P530 (Totalizer factor), and
P531 (Totalizer units of m3 or galx100).

Note
When using the App Wizard, select Parshall or Vlarem at the prompt for a profile, and
the next prompt then allows selection of the pre-defined calculation e.g. Flume Flat 1
This flow calculation requires just the angle of the V-notch to be entered in parameter P115
(or P125) to calculate a flow value over the weir. The head level measurement needs to be in
units of metres and the resultant flow value is in cubic metres per second (m3/s).
Note
Flow calculations require the transmitter input channel(s) to be providing continuous
level measurements (see page 43). Also, P200 (control unit PV units) must be changed
from the default % to the required flow measurement units.
When using the App Wizard, select V-Notch (ISO1438) at the prompt for a profile.
The App Wizard allows the selection of alternative flow units for the output result.
Exponential laws are supported by selecting this profile option, and manually entering values of
k-factor, power, and mul into parameters P115 (or P125).
The output is derived from the input value using: Q = k x (mul x Input)pwr
As an example, consider a an application with a rectangular weir and level measurements in ft.
When the flow rate (Q) is 2000 GPM, the gauged head (Input) is known to be 0.792 feet.
Terms mul is 1.000 and pwr is 1.5 for a rectangular weir.
Note
Flow calculations require the transmitter input channel(s) to be providing continuous
level measurements (see page 43). Also, P200 (control unit PV units) must be changed.

When selecting a Vlarem flume from the above list, the PV flow units are automatically
set to m3/hr and the display configured to show the SV (level in cm on top line) and
totaliser in m3 (on bottom line). The transmitter base units must be set to metres
Note
When using the App Wizard, select 20 point look-up at the prompt for a profile.
Each point is a Cartesian co-ordinate (X, Y). The X value represents a level, and the Y value is the
corresponding volume or flow rate. The X points are at user-defined intervals, typically in equal
increments (5%) of maximum height.
These X points may be entered as levels (in the same units as the transmitter) and the Y points
entered as the corresponding volumes or flow rates for those levels (in the same units as selected
for the control unit Primary/Process Value). See Figure 4-21 on page 61, right-hand graph.
Parameters P114 (or P124) and P116 (or P126) need only be set to 1.0 for this method.
The volume or flow rate for the control unit PV is then derived from the plotted profile using the
live level measurements and interpolation between the plot points.
The X and Y points can also be converted (normalized) to be in the range 0.0 to 1.0 before being
entered manually (see Figure 4-21 on page 61, left-hand graph). A value is then derived from
the plotted profile using the live level measurements that are already converted (normalized) by
the Transmitter Input Channel processing. Parameter P116 (or P126) is then applied to the
derived value to obtain the volume or flow rate for the control unit PV.

If the MCU90F has been set-up to totalize, the daily value of the totalizer at midnight is
also logged. Up to 60 midnight totalized values are held in memory. This is in addition
to the memory for 7000 events.
The maximum value of the parameter-to-be-logged in each 24-hour period is also
logged.
The MCU90F gives a visual indication that logging of data is underway by flashing “LOG” in the
bottom, right-hand corner of the Full PV Display.
Note
Logged data may be downloaded at any time using the RS232 data download socket,
supplied with a Mobrey MCU90F (see “RS232 connections” on page 22), and Mobrey
LOG-VIEW software running on a Windows PC.
See “Serial communications” on page 104 for RS232 communication parameters.
Parameter D846 shows the percentage of free memory remaining for data logging.
Changing the logging interval from 0 to a logging interval in minutes will clear all data logged
(i.e. clear the 7000 event-memory plus the 60 midnight totals).
Changing the log interval from a non-zero interval (e.g. 15 minutes) to a new non-zero interval
(e.g. 5 minutes) will clear the 7000 event-memory).
To stop data logging, change the logging interval (P590) back to 0. Note, when the data logging
interval is re-set, all logged data will be cleared from the logging memory.

A. Measurement units for this wizard are dependent on control unit PV display units selected using parameter P200.
Example
Consider a control unit PV value of 5 metres and the PV range is 0 to 10 metres:
0 metres is represented by a 4 mA signal (0%)
5 metres is represented by a 12 mA signal (50%)
10 metres is represented by 20 mA signal (100%)
Therefore, the Current Output would output the PV value 5 metres as a 12 mA signal.
Note
The current output is frozen while the control unit is in the Program operating mode.
Note
The 3.6 mA and 21 mA options are the Mobrey Standard.
There is another alarm condition when the current output has reached the linear limit
i.e. saturated. For the Mobrey Standard, this is 3.8 mA or 20.5 mA.
Relays can also be programmed as Out-of-limit Alarm relays which energize between defined
points and de-energize outside those points. The relays may also be programmed to perform
auto-sequences and auxiliary functions such as pump-down operations, pump rotations to
equalize wear, and de-sludge/cleaning. For further details, see “Other relay modes” on page 71.
Relay 5 is normally a Fail-safe Fault relay but may be re-allocated to another duty.

0 = Relay is de-energized
S = Sampler relay
T = Totalizing relay
Note
Setting the relays to their factory default state in this way does NOT reset any other
parameters to their default state.
Note
Relays are frozen while the MCU900 Series control unit is in Program mode, preventing
all relay operations apart from Totalizer and Sampler relays.
Relay 1 (RL1)
When relay RL1 mode (P410) is Set Point:
relay RL1 is energized at P411 (on point) and de-energized at P412 (off point)
Relay 2 (RL2)
When relay RL2 mode (P420) is Set Point:
relay RL2 is energized at P421 (on point) and de-energized at P422 (off point)
Relay 3 (RL3)
If relay RL3 mode (P430) is Set Point:
relay RL3 is energized at P431 (on point) and de-energized at P432 (off point)
Relay 4 (RL4)
If relay RL4 mode (P440) is Set Point:
relay RL4 is energized at P441 (on point) and de-energized at P442 (off point)
In a basic emptying application, the On Point (e.g. P411) is programmed to be greater than the
Off Point (e.g. P412). The Set Point relay energizes when the control unit PV value (D800)
exceeds the On Point and de-energizes when the PV value drops below the Off Point.
In a basic filling application, the On Point (e.g. P411) is programmed to be less than the
Off point (e.g. P412). The Set Point relay energizes when the control unit PV value (D800)
falls below the On point and de-energizes when the PV value rises above the Off Point.
There are set point relays modes for the control unit SV value (D801), TV value (D802) and
FV value (D803). For details of these D80* parameters, see “Optional change: transmitter input
channel settings (advanced users)” on page 43.

An Assist relay uses its On Point and Off Point parameters in a similar way to a Set Point mode
relay. A typical application would be emptying a wet well / lift station.
The worked example here illustrates how the function works. To keep the example simple, the
auto-sequencing options are not considered.
Example wet well / lift station application (emptying operation due to rising level)
using assist mode relays and common off points
Consider an application with two relay outputs, RL1 and RL2, connected to individual pumps in a
wet well/lift station. The control unit PV value (D800) is a level measurement in metres (m).
In Figure 4-28, both Pump 1 and Pump 2 are off because the liquid level is at a
satisfactory level, below 5 m
When the level rises above 5 m (On point, P411), the relay RL1 is energized to start
Pump 1 (Figure 4-29)
If the level continues to rise and is above 8 m (On point, P421), relay RL2 is energized to
start Pump 2 and assist Pump 1. Relay RL1 stays energized to keep Pump 1 pumping
(Figure 4-30)
Pump 1 and Pump 2 continue to pump down until the level falls to below 2 m (Off Point,
P412 and P422), at which relays RL1 and RL2 de-energize to switch off both pumps
(Figure 4-31).
In this emptying application, the common off point is P412 (Off point, relay RL1) and
P422 (Off point, relay RL2), both of which are at the 2 m level.
Note
If Pump 1 had kept the level below 8 m, it would stay switched on until the level is 2 m.
Safeguards to prevent over-use of a pump are in “Relay safeguard options” on page 71.

An Assist relay uses its On Point and Off Point parameters in a similar way to a Set Point mode
relay. A typical application would be emptying a wet well / lift station.
The worked example here illustrates how the function works. To keep the example simple, the
auto-sequencing options are not considered.
Example wet well / lift station application (emptying operation due to rising level)
using assist mode relays and split (separate) off points
Consider an application with two relays, RL1 and RL2, connected to individual pumps in a
wet well. The control unit PV value (D800) is a liquid level measurement in metres.
In Figure 4-32, both Pump 1 and Pump 2 are off because the liquid level is at a
satisfactory level, below 5 m
When the level exceeds 5 m (On Point, P411), relay RL1 is energized to start Pump 1
(Figure 4-33)
When the level exceeds 8 m (On Point, P421), relay RL2 is energized to start Pump 2 and
assist Pump 1. Relay RL1 stays energized to keep Pump 1 pumping (Figure 4-34)
When the level falls to below 3.5 m (Off point, P422), relay RL2 de-energizes to switch
off Pump 2 (Figure 4-35)
When the level falls to below 2 m (Off point, P412), relay RL1 de-energizes to switch
off Pump 1
Note
If Pump 1 keeps the level below 8 m, it would stay switched on until the level is 2 m.

A Standby, Common Off relay uses its On Point and Off Point parameters in a similar way to a
Set Point mode relay. A typical application would be emptying a wet well / lift station.
The worked example here illustrates how the function works. To keep the example simple, the
auto-sequencing options are not considered.
Example wet well application (emptying operation due to rising level) using standby,
common off point relays
Consider an application with two relay outputs, RL1 and RL2, connected to individual pumps in a
wet well. The control unit PV value (D800) is a liquid level measurement in metres (m).
In Figure 4-36, both Pump 1 and Pump 2 are off because the liquid level is at a
satisfactory level, below 5 m
When the level rises above 5 m (On point, P411), the relay RL1 is energized to start
Pump 1 (Figure 4-37)
If the level continues to rise and is above 8 m (On point, P421), the relay RL2 is
energized to start Pump 2. Relay RL1 is de-energized to switch off Pump 1 (Figure 4-38)
Pump 2 continues to pump until the level falls below 2 m (Off Point, P412), at which
relay RL2 will de-energize to switch off Pump 2. (Pump 1 is already switched off).
In this emptying application, the common off point is P412 (Off point, relay RL1) and
P422 (Off point, relay RL2), both of which are at the 2 m level.
Note
If Pump 1 had kept the level below 8 m, it would stay switched on until the level is 2 m.

mode relay. A typical application would be emptying a wet well / lift station.
The worked example here illustrates how the function works. To keep the example simple, the
auto-sequencing options are not considered.
Example wet well / lift station application (emptying operation due to rising level)
using standby, split off point relays
Consider an application with two relays, RL1 and RL2, connected to individual pumps in a
wet well. The control unit PV value (D800) is a liquid level measurement in metres.
In Figure 4-39, both Pump 1 and Pump 2 are off because the liquid level is at a
satisfactory level, below 5 m
When the level exceeds 5 m (On Point, P411), relay RL1 is energized to start Pump 1.
(Figure 4-40)
When the level exceeds 8 m (On Point, P421), relay RL2 is energized to start Pump 2.
Relay RL1 is de-energized to switch off Pump 1 (Figure 4-41)
When the level falls to below 5 m (Off point, P422), relay RL2 de-energizes to switch off
Pump 2. Relay RL1 is energized to switch on Pump 1 (Figure 4-42)
In this emptying application, the switch off point for Pump 2 is 5 m; the On Point for
relay 1 P411 (On point, relay RL1) is used. P422 (Off point, relay RL2) is ignored.
When the level falls below 2 m (Off point, P412), relay RL1 de-energizes to switch off

A Totalizer relay can output a pulse for each time that the internal totalizer count (D828)
increments. The duration of the pulse may set using parameter P534.
Note
If the totalizer count is running faster than the relay can produce pulses, an internal
accumulator stores the excess pulses. The stored excess pulses are output by the
Totalizer relay after the totalizer count rate reduces.
Note
For information on setting up the totalizer, see page 95 onwards.
Note
Faults can be indicated using the output current if the Current or Both options are
selected (see “Set-up the current output” on page 68)
This relay mode uses the relay On Point and Off Points (e.g. P411 and P412) as high and low
limit alarms for the control unit PV value (D800). The points can be in any order of value.
The relay is energized while the PV value exceeds the higher limit point value or while it is below
the lower limit point value.
A rate of change value for the control unit PV value (D800) is calculated every 5 seconds in units
of PV per minute:
The On and Off points of a Rate of Change (RoC) mode relay are used as high and low limits for
read-only parameter D809. Limit values are in units of PV per minute (PV/min) and can be in any
order of value. The relay is energized while D809 exceeds the higher limit value or falls below the
lower limit value.
Typically, where the PV value is a liquid level measurement, the RoC relay can be used to warn of
a quickly rising or falling liquid level. Alternatively, the RoC mode relay can be used for
controlling the rate of liquid flow.
For further uses of D809, see “Pump Efficiency alarm (Mobrey MCU901 and MCU902 only)” on
page 89 and “Pumped volume totalizing” on page 90.

Optional automatic rotation of the leading (most used) relay can be applied to Assist or Standby
mode relays. To use these options, two or more relays must have the same mode. The lowest
numbered relay is initially the lead relay.
Note
The rotation of relays is performed without the actual swapping of values between
relay parameters.
Energy saving
(Special Control Function – see Table 4-5 on page 73)
This special control function is normally used with a pump control application to provide a small
variance in the start and stop level for the pump. It will help to prevent a build-up of scum on the
side of a wet well or sump.
In a pump-down application, the lowest relay Off Point ('pump off' level) is normally a fixed level
above the Transmitter Bottom Reference point. However, it is sometimes required to make the
pumps continue to run for a period past the Off Point or run down the level to the Transmitter
Bottom Reference point. This can clear a sump of sludge that may have collected at the bottom.
Pump-down can be initiated automatically at pre-set intervals. A digital input can also initiate
pump-down at any time and this will re-set the interval before the next pump-down.
Pump-down automatically stops when the control unit PV (D800) is zero or after 20 minutes if a
duration (P274) has not been programmed, whichever is the shorter period.
Note
For details on configuring a digital input to initiate a pump-down operation,
see “Digital inputs IN1 and IN2” on page 63
A custom mode relay is typically used together with a secondary external device to provide a
voltage-free contact connected to one of the controller digital inputs (IN1 or IN2).
For example, this function may be used to provide a low flow cut-off for a pump control if the
pump is provided with a flow/no-flow switch. A second relay contact assigned to pump control
would then be wired in series with the Custom mode relay to provide the low flow cut-off.

method must be selected. See “Alarm indication selection” on page 91 for details
Note

No Activity alarm
(Special alarm - see Table 4-5 on page 73 for a full list of auxiliary relay functions)
A timed delay (P490) starts after the monitoring is activated. If the level is still rising
after the delay time has expired and the calculated rate of change of the control unit PV
(D800) is positive, the result is a Rising Level alarm condition. The alarm condition stops
as soon as the rate of change is negative, indicating a falling level.
For the Rising Level alarm to be indicated by a relay output or the current output, a
method must be selected. See “Set-up alarms” on page 91
See also “Rate of Change mode relay” on page 83
The pump efficiency feature allows an alarm to be indicated (P550, P4*1) if the calculated
pump efficiency falls below a defined limit (P495).
Pump efficiency (PE) is calculated using the rate of change (RoC) of the control unit PV while a
relay is energized. The PE value is saved in D86*; the “*” is the number of the relay (1 to 4)
The calculation assumes that liquid continues to enter the well or tank at the rate just prior to
the relay energizing (pump starting).
The control unit continuously calculates the rate of change, sampling a new control unit PV
every 5 seconds (as described in Section “Rate of Change mode relay” on page 83).
Over the next 9 pump starts, a further 9 change of RoC values are stored such that the control
unit can then calculate an average value in change of RoC. This average value, “RoC100” is then
taken as being equivalent to the pump operating at 100% efficiency. A value of 100% is then
stored in D86*.
Each subsequent pump start, and change in RoC thereafter, is used in a rolling average
calculation for a new average value in change of RoC, RoCnew, which is then compared to the
previous value “RoC100” and a new PE percentage value calculated using:
If the resulting PE is greater than 100%, the RoC100 is updated to the new value and the PE is
re-stated as 100% based on this new value.
If the resulting PE is less than 100%, then the PE is calculated as above and stored in D86*
If the PE is below the limit set (P495), the PE alarm condition is true. To indicate an alarm by
Relay or Current Output, a method must be selected (see “Set-up alarms” on page 91).
Note
The alarm condition is automatically cleared if the calculated PE rises above the limit
(P495) by 5% or more
This function is for calculating the total throughput in a contents volume application.
The control unit monitors the change in volume when no pumps are running i.e. when any
Assist or Standby mode relay is de-energized. It calculates the rate of change (RoC) of the
control unit PV (D800) every five seconds and then converts it to a rate of change per minute for
displaying as parameter D809.
When a pump is turned on, the control unit assumes that the rate of inflow remains the same as
it was just before starting the pumps. The RoC value (D809) is frozen while the pumps are on i.e.
when any Assist or Standby mode relay is energized.
To totalize pumped volume, the control unit PV (D800) must be in volume units so that the RoC
value (D809) is in units of volume per minute. The control unit integrates this volume every
second and increments the totalizer for every integer unit.
If the RoC value (D809) is 12 m3 per minute and the Total factor parameter (P530) is set to
1.0 (m3), the Totalizer count (D828) increments every five seconds (1/12th of a minute).
Note
The Totalizer Wizard can be used to set-up pumped volume totalizing.
Note
For other associated parameters, see “Set-up totalizing on the Mobrey MCU901 control
unit” on page 95.
Parameter D830 shows a list of active alarms. Alarms are indicated using relay outputs and the
current output. Table 4-8 on page 94 has a summary of reporting methods for alarms.
For each alarm, there is a dedicated parameter in the ALARM menu for selecting the method of
indication for that alarm. Options for parameters P540 to P551 are:
None – if the alarm is to be indicated (default factory setting)
Both – alarm is indicated by an Alarm mode relay and output current
Current – alarm is indicated by the output current only
Relay – alarm is indicated by an Alarm mode relay only
For information on Alarm mode relays, see “Set-up the relays” on page 69.
Parameter P402 is used to decide how the output current indicates an alarm condition.

2. Navigate to the SETUP / [CONTROLLER /] SYSTEM / DEFAULTS menu (see Figure 8).
3. Press the red (ENTER) button twice and then wait until “Done”.
4. Switch off
6. Put the control unit into Run App mode (to automatically find a HART transmitter)
It provides a quick and direct access to parameter screens without traversing the menu system.
All that is required is the entry of the unique 3-digit identification (ID) number for a parameter.
Appendix C: Menus and Parameters has a list of all parameters and their identification numbers.
Both 'P' and 'D' prefixed parameters can be accessed through separate selection screens.
After entering the ADVANCED menu, select Pxxx or Dxxx (see Figure D-2).
Next, input a valid identification number using the arrow buttons (010 is the default) and press
the red (ENTER) button to confirm and make that parameter screen appear (see Figure D-3).
When an input parameter number is not valid, the nearest valid parameter is displayed instead
(see Figure D-4 on page 137).
Pressing the Esc button allows a new number to be input to access another parameter.
This is very convenient when checking on more than one parameter.

E.1 Overview
The Mobrey MCU900 Series control unit is able to accept digital data from any HART 5/6/7
compatible transmitter. However, the control unit is not Device Descriptor (DD) based and only
fully supports transmitters that have been factory programmed into the on-board library.
Note
If a Mobrey MSP Series transmitter is connected, refer to the reference manual on the
Mobrey brand pages at www.emersonprocess.com for full information about
programming the transmitter parameters (e.g. Transmitter Bottom Reference) using
the MCU900 Series control unit or other HART-based devices.
Communication with the transmitter is HART, provided the transmitter current output is
configured in a passive mode to enable the control unit to power the current loop.
The addition of components (both resistive and semiconductor) as part of the I.S certification
and HART communication result in the terminal voltage varying with load current. Increasing
the load current in the loop results in a decrease in the terminal output voltage of the control
unit. Most HART transmitters require a minimum input voltage to work correctly, and for HART
communication to function. For example, a Mobrey MSP900GH Ultrasonic Level Transmitter can
operate over a voltage range of 12 to 40 Vdc (12 to 30 Vdc for intrinsically safe installations).
Consideration must be given to the loop resistance of the cable connecting the transmitter to
the controller to ensure sufficient input voltage is available at the transmitter.
Care must be taken in checking compatibility of the control unit when selecting the required
HART transmitter. Ensure that the input voltage requirements of the transmitter and the loop
resistance are below the limits given in Table E-1 on page 140.
Some Explosion-proof (Exd) rated transmitters have a high input voltage requirement which can
result in HART communication failing to function at high loop currents. For example, the
Explosion-proof version of the Rosemount 5400 Series transmitter has a minimum input voltage
requirement as follows:
15.5 Vdc at 21.75 mA
20 Vdc at 3.75 mA
The Exd version of Rosemount 5400 Series transmitter would not be suitable for use with the
MCU900 Series control unit.
Table E-1 shows the minimum MCU900 terminal output voltage (worst case conditions) for
varying load conditions.
Table C-2 on page 132 shows the menu structure and parameters for generic HART 5/6/7
transmitters parameters as seen on a MCU900 Series control unit or other HART-based devices.
