• Tot 1(612)82e-82s2 28 April 1998 m i g,n eze ezoo Re: Notification under 10 CFR Part 21 for Rosemount Model 1154 Alphaline Nuclear Pressure Transmitter, Range Code 0, Drift Specification Pursuant to 10CFR Part 21 Paragraph 21.21(b), Rosemount Nuclear Instruments, Inc. (RNII) is writing to inform you that the drift specification for Model 1154, gage pressure transmitters, range code 0, is not correctly described in Manual MAN 4514, December 1992. Manual MAN 4514, December 1992, page 4-1, Drift is incorrectly stated as 0.2% ofupper range limitfor 30 months. The correct specification is 10.3% ofupper range limitfor 30 months.

The Product Data Sheet for Model 1154, #00813-0100-4514, November 1995, page 4, Drift, shows k0.2% ofupper range limitfor thirty months (*0.3% ofupper range limitfor range 0).

This is the correct drift specification for this model, since 0.2% of upper range limit applies to all range codes other than range code 0.

This notice does not apply to other Model 1154 gage pressure transmitters, nor to any Model 1154 differential or high line differential pressure transmitters. Moreover, it does not apply to any Model 1152,1153 Series B or D transmitters.

The design and qualification of Model 1154 Range Code 0 is based on design and qualification of Rosemount Model 1153 Series D Alphaline Nuclear Pressure Transmitter. In turn, Model 1153 Series D design and qualification references Model 1153GDO, whose qualification is documented in Rosemount Report 78215. The range code 0 sensor module is designed to operate between 0 and 6000 psi. However, the specified upper range limit on model 1154 range code O pressure transmitter is 4000 psig. This means the specified upper range limit on range code 0 is actually " ranged down" from its design limits. There are " range-down" effects associated with operating the transmitter at levels lower than the design limit. More specifically, the transmitter gain must be turned up in order to calibrate the transmitter from 0 to 4000 psig, which amplifies any zero errors. This means that some of the errors in performance, including drift, must be magnified by the " range-down multiplier" of 1.5. The correct drift specification for range code 0 is *0.3% ofupper range limit as properly indicated in Product Data Sheet for Model 1154, #00813-0100-4514, November 1995.
