Function and system design

Measurement system The Prothermo NMT 539 is available in four different versions:

• Converter only
• Converter + Average temperature probe
• Converter + Average temp probe + Water bottom probe

The converter only version can be retrofitted without modifications onto existing third party average
temperature probes, such as Whessoe Varec 9909 and 1700 and Weed Beacon MW type probes. The average
temperature probe + converter inherits all the functionality of the former Prothermo NMT 535/536/537
series. The average temperature + WB + converter is the ultimate multi-function sensor, transmitting
temperature and water interface level data along only one pair of local HART® signal cables to the host the
Proservo NMS5 ,TGM5, TMD1or NRF 590 Tank Side Monitor.

NMT 539 Converter + Temp. The Prothermo NMT 539 is the successor of the former NMT 535 Ex i version. For proper migration, the NMT
probe version 539 has inherited all the functionality and specifications of the NMT 535, including process connections, cable
entries and wiring method.
Since the Proservo NMS5 already provides water interface measurement, the NMT 539 Converter + Average
temperature may be the best version when used in combination with the Proservo. When the Converter + WB
+ Average temperature version is used in combination with the Proservo, the product in the tank will be
thoroughly managed with level, continuous average temperature and water interface measurement.

Most configuration and parameter settings for the NMT539 can be performed via the Proservo NMS5
programming matrix.

The NMT 539 receives liquid level data from the Proservo, then calculates liquid and gas phase average
temperature. Calculated data and basic information, including raw data for each temperature element and
device status, are transmitted to the Proservo.

Note!
Since the Proservo is a multi-functional device (measurement and data transmission), the Promonitor NRF 560
acts as a tank side remote data indicator and controller for Proservo.

All gathered data in the interface unit is sent to inventory management software, such as Endress+Hauser's
Tankvision, Fuelsmanager, Tank computer or directly sent to the customer's specific DCS or PLC.

for optimal inventory control. Basic functionality of the NMT 539 is displayed and configured on the NRF 590.
Detailed NMT 539 functionality and data access can be performed by the ToF tool or FieldCare.

The NMT 539 receives radar level data from the NRF 590 and then calculates liquid and gas phase average
temperature. Calculated and standard data, including temperature element raw data and device status, are
transmitted to the NRF 590.

Operating condition : Installation

Wiring Wiring of the NMT 539 must meet explosion proof or intrinsically safe requirements.
The following cable entries are available:
• Thread G 1/2"
• Thread NPT 1/2"
• Thread M20

Only G1/2 is selectable for TIIS Ex d[ia] and 2 cable glands SXC-16B, are attached.

Caution!
In case of Ex d, please prepare a metal cable gland (not a plastic one) that has shield cable grounding function-
ality to meet the condition of EMC certification.
Except as noted above, cable gland is not provided with the NMT 539.
Size and condition of the communication cable must meet the requirements of intrinsically safe local HART®
communication.

Process connection Converter only version

NMT 539's local HART® converter can fit onto third party average temperature probes with the following
mechanical connection size and type:
• G 3/4" (equivalent to NPS 3/4") universal coupling.... Housing type 1
• M20 threaded.... housing type 2, specific design to fit to Varec 1700 terminal housing

Note!
Use seal tape to secure the connection between converter and temperature probe.

Please refer to the NMT 539 instruction manual for the detailed installation procedure.

Converter + Temp. , Converter + Temp. + WB version

All three versions have the same installation method to fit onto the tank nozzle.
The following flange sizes are available:

• JIS 10K 50A RF, SUS316

• ANSI 150lb 2" RF, SUS316
• JPI 150lb 2" RF, SUS316
• DIN DN50 PN 10RF, SUS316

Installation height adjuster An additional feature of the NMT 539, the height adjuster, can be used to adjust installation height of the NMT
539 within approximately ±180 mm (7") from original height.

Note!
The height adjuster is not included in "Converter only" version.

Caution!
Please tighten the lock nut with seal tape to secure rigidity of the NMT 539 at the end of physical installation
and/or if the height adjuster will be used during operation. A loose lock nut can lead to improper tank sealing
or unexpected leakage into the tank.

WB blocking distance The Water Bottom sensor can be set as low as zero clearance from the tank floor by using height adjuster. Due
to mechanical design of WB sensor, bottom plate has approximately 10mm thickness. This will become a
blocking distance (ineffective measuring range).

Caution!
Calculate vertical movement of NMT 539 installation height prior to setting the WB sensor bottom clearance.
Typical tank shell deformation causes vertical movement at a minimum 20 ~ 30mm (1"). Excessive weight
load of entire NMT 539 on WB sensor by contacting tank floor may cause critical damage that disables accurate
& stable WB level measurement.

version
Approx. 319mm

189mm
48mm
Type 1: Measuring function The Converter only version is the direct replacement of the previous NMT 538 series. Connection and
compatibility are provided to third party temperature probes with various element types. Unlike the NMT 538,
the powerful processor of the NMT 539 calculates and converts the following element types without altering
the program (EPROM installed software):
• Pt100
• Cu100
• Cu90
• PtCu100

The type 1 converter also enables connection to a dual function average temperature and capacitance WB
probe, such as the Weed Beacon MWR. Wiring, however, requires the isolation of the RTD temperature signal
from the capacitance WB signal on coaxial cable. The wiring of the temperature signal is exactly the same as
Endress+Hauser's 1700, 9909 and other RTD probes. The coaxial (WB) cable must be routed from the existing
auxiliary capacitance to the local HART® (or 4 - 20 mA) converter via NMT 539's terminal compartment.

Caution!
NMT 539 is only compatible with MRTs (Multi-Resistance Thermometers) and/or MSTs (Multi-Spot
Thermometers). It is not designed to work with "Thermocouple" type thermometers.

The physical connection between probe to NMT 539 is completed by Zinc plated carbon steel PF 3/4" (NPS
3/4") universal threaded coupling. In case a different thread size is required, Endress+Hauser can provide the
simplest and most efficient solution by adapting a variety of coupling sizes and materials based on existing
temperature probe specifications.

The power supply and data transmission lines are both fed to the host gauge, Proservo NMS5 or Tank Side
Monitor NRF 590, by one pair of local HART® loop connections. In addition to the user-friendly display, the
NMT 539 can also be configured and operated via the ToF (Time-of-Flight) tool or FieldCare.

168mm 32mm

Lock nut

Type 2: Measuring function Basic functionality remains the same, but the special M20 threaded connection allows the NMT 539 converter
to fit directly onto the existing terminal housing of the 1700.

Actual wiring of the RTD signal from the probe to the NMT 539 must be executed in the terminal box of the
1700, not the NMT 539. Therefore, the type 2 converter only has a primary housing that contains NMT 539
electronics and no secondary housing is included.

Caution!
Secure the threaded connection with seal tape and tighten the lock nut at the actual installation. A loose con-
nection of the NMT 539 & Varec 1700 terminal housing can cause serious electrical damage depending on
environmental conditions.

different temperature ranges to meet your application requirements:

-20 ...+100°C TIIS Most standard temperature range for inventory control applications
(-4 ...+212 °F)

-20 ...+235°C TIIS Capability of high and / or low temperature product applications like

(-4 ...248 °F)

The NMT 539 converter and average temperature probe consists of up to 16 IEC class A Pt100 elements in
the protection tube. The very sensitive sensor elements change resistance values depending on the surrounding
temperature. Therefore, applied voltage through this sensor deviates based on resistance change at the element.
As a specific design to meet intrinsically safe standards, the NMT 539 converter and temperature version is
built with a very efficient power management concept.
In order to achieve the highest degree of measurement accuracy and mechanical & electrical durability,
NMT539 employs a powerful processor, large storage capacity, and simple module structure.
To achieve the user-friendly concept, the newly adopted height adjuster allows the adjustment of the
installation height up to approximately 360mm (14") at the process connection (flange) depending on the tank
shape and condition.

W&M function The NMT 539 converter and temperature probe is custody transfer approved. Once the NMT 539 is
configured to "W&M mode", all the changeable parameters are frozen by software and mechanical switch
protection.

Measuring function The Prothermo NMT 539 is available in the ultimate all-in-one "Converter + Temp. + WB" version. Both
temperature and WB data are fully accessible on one pair of local HART® communication lines.
Parameters can be configured via Proservo NMS5/NMS7, Tank Side Monitor NRF 590, ToF tool, FieldCare.

The integrated WB sensor (capacitance water interface measurement) is set at the bottom of the average
temperature probe. The standard WB measurement ranges are 1m (3.3 ft) and 2m (6.6 ft). The tube structured
WB sensor is made of SUS304 pipe and exterior is protected by an additional 1mm thick PFA tube. Pt 100
elements are set inside of this tube structure, meaning that temperature measurement is not disturbed due to
the WB functionality.

Caution!
Due to the characteristic of capacitance measurement, precise initial calibration must be performed in order to
achieve the maximum measurement accuracy.
The condition of tank contents (both oil & water), liquid temperature and individual probe characteristic can
greatly effect the measurement performance.
Specific accuracy & repeatability measurement must be taken within the same environment in order to perform
data comparison.

Note!
If water in the tank freeses, it is not possible to measure the water interface. Protect the water in the tank from
freezing.
