The weather is terrible and the ship is rolling.
The boiler level control is hunting so you would like to look at the level transmitter “Damping” settings and possibly
increase a little.
Remember:
Put the boiler level control into manual before connecting the SFC to the transmitter.
OR if there are 2 level transmitters fitted (usually one transmitter doing control/indication and the other doing
alarms/trips) – Force the other transmitter to do both functions, so that you can safely connect the SFC to the “out –
of – service” transmitter.
For this example the boiler level transmitter has a Tag number LT-86 and is a SMART type Yamatake DSTJ 3000
DP transmitter, Model JTD 920A.
The parameters used have been chosen to facilitate the simulation, and are not specific to any ship.
Connect the SFC to the transmitter – remember it is connected in parallel with the instrument, so you connect to
where the 2 wires are connected to the transmitter (red lead goes to +ve terminal).
Also remember to make a note of the original settings, so if required you can put everything back to as was.
(If you have a SFC with a printer – you can print the original settings).
For this exercise - only the buttons on the SFC that you require to use are active.
