4. Why You Need Point Level Detection of Liquids and
Sediments
•Prevent spills
•Keep your workers safe
•Improve efficiency
•Prevent damage to equipment

5. Legacy Point Level Detection Challenges
• Unreliability with overfill prevention solutions
– Potential negative impact on your workers, process, plant, the environment AND bottom line
• Trusting measurement accuracy, especially in challenging applications such as in low density fluids or when
level changes rapidly
• Lack of insight into device health
– Fear of failing hardware causing process shutdowns
• Risk of missing a measurement in low-density fluids
• Risk of nuisance alarms from splashing or turbulence
• Unreliability with sand and sediment detection
• Visual checks are time consuming and carry high risk especially in hazardous areas
• Risk of plugged flow lines, damage & shutdown
• Alternative monitoring technology is complex / costly

fork corrosion
Reliable

15. • Know process characteristics as well as your point level
• Detect emerging conditions
• Scaled Variable function allows you to map a HART Variable to the 4-20mA analog output
Rosemount 2140 Detector is “More Than a Switch”…

Reliable
Analog Output
• Your current output is
always visible
Percent of Range
• % of analog 4-20mA
• 4mA= 0%, 20mA= 100%
• <0% or >100% = alarm
Sensor Frequency
• Identify emerging forks build
up, avoid risk of bridging
• Infer changing or differing
media properties
Electronics
Temperature
• Temperature within housing
• Ensure safe operating
conditions are not
compromised

Selectable Liquid Density Capability – Precise Switching
Across Many Process Types
• The Rosemount 2140 is ready for use “out of box”, but four different
media density settings fine tune sensitivity and optimize switching
reliability and repeatability
– Correct setting ensures switch point is close to the center of the fork
– “Media Learn” function auto selects most appropriate setting for the process
1. Low- e.g. Propane 400Kg/m3 – 600Kg/m3 (SG 0.4 - 0.6)
2. Medium- e.g. Alcohol 500Kg/m3 – 900Kg/m3 (SG 0.5 – 0.9)
3. Standard- e.g. Water 800Kg/m3 – 1300Kg/m3 (SG 0.8 – 1.3)
4. High- e.g. Acid 1200Kg/m3 – 3000Kg/m3 (SG 1.2 – 3.0)
Robust point level measurement and overfill prevention even in low density fluids or when
level changes rapidly

Save Time and Simplify Processes with Remote Functionality
• Access Smart diagnostics and test device integrity without having to climb the tank
• No need to enter into hazardous areas: perform routine inspections and tests from control room
• Functions easy to perform by a single operator
Save time, increase process availability, worker safety and efficiency
Less of this More of this…
Or even this…
Ease-of-use

19. Proof Testing Made Easy with Remote Partial Proof-Test
input processing output
1. Partial Proof-Test Test checks processing and output stages
2. All output states “exercised”
– High, low and alarm current levels cycled
3. Device returns to operation after test
– No risk of leaving in test mode
Now you can:
• Save space in the control panel: Fully
integrated capability with no extra point
to point wiring
• Activate from the control room with
HART command
• Perform test without removing
instrument from the vessel
• Avoid process interruptions: no need to
raise / lower liquid level
• Multi-drop if testing multiple devices
Ease-of-use

21. Unique Media Learn Optimizes Performance
with No Risk of Human Error
• Media Learn “fine tunes” device according to the process SG
• Device auto selects the most appropriate Media Density band
• Ensures switch point is close to fork center regardless of SG
• Perform once on commissioning
– Simply immerse the fork in process fluid & activate procedure; it
takes seconds
• Very simple, quick procedure maximizes reliability and repeatability

Now you can
• Optimize performance with no need
to know the process fluid SG
• Have a consistent switch point in all
process fluids
• Eliminate missed events

22. Detect Sand and Sediment Build-Up in your Vessel
• Rosemount 2140 can detect if there is sediment building up in your
tank or separator
• This special setting detects state change between liquid and sediment,
as opposed to air and liquid
–When set to “Sand Detection”, Rosemount 2140 ignores air / liquid
interface
–Instead Rosemount 2140 detects liquid / sediment interface
Ease-of-use
Now you can:
• Continuously monitor sediment level; avoid excess
build-up
• Proactively schedule vessel clean-outs during
periods of downtime
• Reduce risk of equipment damage from sediment
being drawn into lines
• Optimize separator capacity and process efficiency

28. HART Protection Against Unauthorized or Unintended Access
and Changes
Rosemount 2140 and Rosemount 2140:SIS have several
means of protection:
• Local Hardware Switch
– “Padlock closed” position prevents device configuration changes
via LOI or HART communication
– Prevents accidental activation Proof-Test via push buttons or
communications
• User-selectable password
– 4-digit PIN may be defined via HART communications or LOI
– Protects against unauthorized changes to device configuration
• “Lock Device” command
– Allows Host System to prevent changes to the device configuration
via another HART master or via the LOI
• “In Write Protect Mode”
– Whilst LOI menu is navigated, device responds accordingly to any
HART Write-Command
Nameplate prevents
accidental activation of test
and config buttons
