WHERE ARE THEY ?

• All of the data is total sales worldwide About
  50 of the unit volume was sold in the Americas
  and Canada
• 300T, about 75 of the units were sold to
  Chemical and Petroleum industries
• Estimated unit sales 50, 000 Circa 1970
  through 2000
• Circular Chart Recorders and Recording -
  Controllers , About 70 sold to Food and Beverage
  Industries
• Estimated unit sales 100, 000 Circa 1940
  through 2001 ( 67 were Recorders )

300T SERIES TRANSMITTERS

• The last of the 300T series was discontinued in
  November, 2000
• Replaced by the DELTAPI series

6
Pneumatic Instruments

• Fulscope Circular Chart Recorders and Recording
  Controllers
• All are made up from and specified as of 2
  separate components
• The instrument case
• Measurement sensor system
• Could be as many as 3 measurement devices in the
  instrument case
• All forms can be replaced by COMMANDER 1900
• The trick is to try and fit the C1900 between the
  existing equipment
• Have everything come out right
• At a reasonable cost

7
Pneumatic Instrument Number Structure
WHAT IS BEING REPLACED?

• First letter in the Fulscopes base model number
  is the key to defining the instrument type. (
  Could be as many as 4 digits before the first
  letter)
• J Recorder
• K Indicator
• R Controller
• T Transmitter
• EXAMPLE 76J
• REPLACE ALL WITH THE EQUIVALENT C1900

8
Pneumatic Instrument Number Structure
WHAT IS BEING REPLACED?

• The second letter in the Fulscopes base model
  number is the key to defining the measuring
  element type.
• G, M, R, S, V, each defines fill fluids for
  TEMPERATURE MEASUREMENT
• Replace these with an RTD or Thermocouple
• Match up insertion dimensions as closely as
  possible
• Match up process connection fitting exactly
• Ask your customer
• EXAMPLE
  76JV

Pneumatic Instrument Number Structure
WHAT IS BEING REPLACED?

• The second letter in the Fulscopes base model
  number is the key to defining the measuring
  element type.
• A,C, D, F, N, Z all define forms of pressure
  elements
• Replace these with the equivalent electronic
  TRANSMITTER
• Match up the calibration ranges exactly
• Match up process connection fitting exactly
• Ask your customer about the maximum working
  pressures involved.
• EXAMPLE
  76JF

10
Pneumatic Instrument Number Structure
WHAT IS BEING REPLACED?

• The second letter in the Fulscopes base model
  number is the key to defining the measuring
  element type.
• T, defines all forms of electronic inputs ( RTD
  , current, Thermocouples )
• No need to supply interface existing inputs can
  be directly connected to the C1900
• Match up the Chart ranges exactly
• EXAMPLE
  76JT

11
Pneumatic Instrument Number Structure
WHAT IS BEING REPLACED?

• The second letter in the Fulscopes base model
  number is the key to defining the measuring
  element type.
• B, U, W, Y, H, E, all define combinations of
  Temperature and Pressure elements
• These will all be 2 input instruments
• Replace the Temperature system with an RTD or
  Thermocouple
• Replace the Pressure system with the equivalent
  electronic TRANSMITTER
• Match up the calibration ranges exactly
• Match up process connection fittings exactly
• EXAMPLE
  76JW

Pneumatic Instruments

• 440R series
  Indicating Controllers
• All are made up from and specified as of 2
  separate components
• The instrument case
• Measurement sensor system
• All forms are single loop controllers and all
  can be replaced by COMMANDER 310
• The trick is to try and fit the C310 between the
  existing equipment
• Have everything come out right
• At a reasonable cost

13

WHAT IS BEING REPLACED?

• The first letter in the 440 series model number
  is the key to defining the instrument type.
• K Indicator
• R Controller
• T Transmitter
• EXAMPLE 442R
• REPLACE R WITH THE EQUIVALENT C310
• REPLACE K or T WITH THE EQUIVALENT C160

SUMMARY PAGE

• All Pneumatic instrument replacement business is
  in 2 parts
• The base instrument. Replace it with equivalent
• A process measurement sensor.
• Is there an opportunity to replace the
  measurement sensor ?
• If the input is 3 to 15 psi use a P/I converter
• ABB model 18321-0-00112-0
• if the input is any other form, replace as
  required
• If Control is required , supply an I/P converter
  for the valves air signal
• ABB model 18311-0-182210170
• CAUTION
• Some Installations may require Hazardous Location
  electrical codes . C310 and C1900 will provide
  Class 1 Division 2 rating.
• This is not explosion proof
• This is not Intrinsically Safe.
• May need to relocate the instrument to a safe
  area
