Key Benefits
Ease of Use
While the Masoneilan 12400 Series transmitter/controller
offers powerful measurement functionality, it delivers
efficiency for simplified ownership and operations.
Easy Installation
Local and remote installation are available via
three explosion-proof pushbuttons or the HART®
communication protocol, and the 12400 Series
transmitter/controller can be calibrated with or without
fluid, including fluid with an unknown specific gravity.
Simple Operation
The 12400 Series transmitter/controller offers automated
configuration, calibration and diagnostic functions as well
as an easy-to-read, seven-language LCD display.
Interoperability
Field data integration is seamless across multiple
communication platforms: Baker Hughes Masoneilan
ValVue™ software, Device Description (DD) and Device
Type Manager (DTM), any HART®-compatible handheld
and ValVue software plug-in and snap-on.

Key Benefits
Cost-Effective Advanced Process Control
The 12400 Series transmitter/controller saves money, Performance
time and other valuable resources through its With a range of outstanding features in a durable, flexible
advanced functionality, reliability and scalability. package, the 12400 Series meets many of the industry’s most
demanding application requirements.
Streamlined Functionality
This is the first level instrument to offer integrated Compliance
level transmitter, controller and switch functions in The 12400 Series is SIL2-capable (Transmitter function only)
a single device eliminating the need for additional and holds full hazardous areas certifications including ATEX,
switches. IECEx, FM and FMc (Factory Mutual Canada).
Accuracy
Smart filtering reduces unwanted oscillations without
changing response speeds, and the frictionless sensor offers
0.1 percent measurement resolution.
Stability
Inside a chamber, surface turbulence and foam do not
impede the displacer, and process fluid agitation does not
affect measurement.
Reliable Data
Continuous recording and recent data is stored in non-
volatile memory for dependable access in the event of power
failure.

Mounting
In case of external mounting, the instrument is connected to the vessel either with flanges or with screwed or welded
connections. The instrument is constructed so that the mid-range level reference on the displacer chamber coincides with the
normal level in the vessel.
It is recommended that shut-off valves be inserted between the level connections and the vessel, with a drain valve on the
lower part of the level.
