(
Pursuant to 10 CFR Part 21, section 21.21 (b). Rosemount Nuclear Instruments, Inc. (RNII) is writing to inform you that a total of eleven (11) Model 1154 and 1154 Series H output range code 4 pressure transmitters whose model code includes special option suffix N0026 or N0087 and five (5) 01154-0153-0002 Amplifier Circuit Card Assemblies as listed in the attached Appendix may not callbrate at all the published values.
\
1.0 Name and address of the individual providing the Information:
Mr; Gerard Hanson Vice President & General Manager Rosemount Nuclear Instruments, Inc.
8200 Market Blvd Chanhassen, MN 55317 2.0 Identification of items supplied:
Eleven (11) Model 1154 and 1154 Series H output range code 4 pressure transmitters whose model code includl;ls special option suffix N0026 or N0087 and five (5) 01154-0153-0002 Amplifier Circuit Card Assemblies as identified In the attached Appendix.
The.01154-0153"0002 Amplifier Circuit Card Assembly is used only with output code R over-ranged range code 4 options Including ND026 and N0087.
3.0 Identification of firm supplying the Item:
Rosemount Nuclear Instruments, Inc.
8200 Market Blvd Chanhassen, MN 55317 4.0 Nature of the failure and potential safety hazard:
During evaluation of two returned 01154-0153-0002 Amplifier Circuit Card Assemblies (CCAs), It was observed that a single resistor (R316) on each affected Amplifier CCA had an incorrect resistance value.
- Page 1 of 3
Mar/15/2018 9:48:27 AM EPM OUT RMT NUCLEAR 952-949-5201 3/5 The N0026 and N0087 special options enable a standard upper range limit (URL) of a transmitter with output range code 4 to be Increased from 150 lnH20 to 210 lnH20, In combination with a minimum span of 75 inH20. This R316 resistor allows the transmitter to achieve performance specifications, callbratlon ranges, and spans as indicated by the special option drawing.
In the sub-assembly process, the R316 resistor on a standard Amplifier CCA is replaced to create a new Amplifier CCA part number (01154-0153-0002). The R316 resistor enables the standard lower range limit (LRL) of a transmitter with output range code 4 to be decreased from -150 inH20 to ~210 inH20 (negative pressure values imply pressure applied td the low-,pressure side of the transmitter), in combination with a minimum span of 75 lnH20. This R316 resistor allows the transmitter to achieve performance specifications, calibration ranges, and spans as indicated by the special option drawing.
The new resistor's material traceability information is recorded on the traveler. In final assembly, each transmitter with spacial option suffix N0026 and N0087 is assembled using one of these 01154-0153-0002 Amplifier CCAs. It then receives a factory calibration check at 135 inH20 to 210 inH20 and customer specified calibrated range, to ensure conformance to the minimum span and maximum URL specifications, as defined by the special option drawing. Appropriate manufacturing papeiwork is used to document and record each Amplifier CCA serial number, as well as each final assembly transmitter.
To meet site specific appli6ation requirements, transmitters may be field recalibrated to different upper and lower range values and/or spans. Model 1154 and 1154 Series H transmitters with special option suffix NOD26 or N0087 and Amplifier CCAs whose R316 resistors were not replaced during the sub-assembly process, will have Incorrect resistance values and may not calibrate to all upper and lower range values and/or spans published for the applicable special option. However, if an affected transmitter has been successfully calibrated, having the incorrect resistance value will not adversely affect transmitter performance specifications during normal operation or accident conditions.
The manufacturing records for the two returned Amplifier CCAs, part number 01154-0153-0002, were carefully reviewed. The sulrassembly traveler lacked the required material
.- traceabll!ty Information, Indicating that the R316 resistors were not replaced. RNII reviewed all sub-assembly travelers for part number O1154-0153-0002. The issue has been isolated to one lot which included (16) Amplifier CCAs.
On March 8, 2018, RNII concluded that a substantial safety hazard may exist.
5.0 The corrective action which has been taken; the name of the individual or organi:tation responsible for that action; and the length of time taken to complete that action:
r
{a} RNII previously discontinued manufacturing 01-154~0153-0002 Amplifier CCAs, there are no Amplifier CCAs currently In production or finished goods.
(b) RNII examined all manufacturing papetwork for all 01154~0153~0002 Amplifier CCAs, and other than the single lot of (16) Amplifier CCAs described above, no additional discrepancies were found.
