GOSHAWK INSTALLATION, OPERATION AND TROUBLESHOOTING MANUAL. 1
REPLACES “GOSHAWK INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS, MAY 2010”
VALID FOR ALL GOSHAWK MODELS MANUFACTURED SINCE MID-2008.
1.0 INTRODUCTION
1.1 DESCRIPTION
The Goshawk Level Transmitter is a bolt-on, two-wire 24 VDC loop powered
transmitter that adds 4 – 20 mA electronic output to Hawkeye Industries Inc.’s Redtail
Hawk and Roadside Hawk gauge heads. The transmitter connects mechanically to the
gauge head cable reel, converting the rotational position of the cable reel to a precise
current output.
Because Hawkeye’s Dry-Seal gauge heads use wound reels of cable as opposed to
pulleys, the rotational position of the reel provides accurate and repeatable float and
indicator position information. The solid-state nature of the transmitter electronics
allow the device to continue to track (but not transmit) float position information even
when unpowered. Powering the unit back up will provide instantaneous level position.
1.2 SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS
The Goshawk Transmitter carries CSA Hazardous Location Certification for Class I Div
1 Group C & D. Some parts of the transmitter may be classified as sparking
components, and as such the cover should only be removed from the device when in
a non-energized state, or in an non-hazardous location. Several procedures in this
manual require power to be disconnected from the transmitter before proceeding.
Failure to do so will provide erroneous calibration information, and may cause damage
to the transmitter, calibration equipment and / or process control equipment.
NOTE: INFORMATION REQUIRED FOR SUCCESSFUL INSTALLATION
CAUTION OR IMPORTANT: INFORMATION IF NOT HEEDED MAY RESULT IN
DAMAGE TO THE EQUIPMENT AND/OR INSTALLATION FAILURE
WARNING: INFORMATION THAT IF NOT FOLLOWED MAY RESULT IN INJURY OR
SHOCK.

NOTE: ROTATION DIRECTIONS FOR THE GAUGE HEAD AND TRANSMITTER ARE
OPPOSITE TO ONE ANOTHER FOR THE SAME FILLING / EMPTYING DIRECTION IN
THE ORIENTATIONS ILLUSTRATED ABOVE. THIS IS DUE TO THE NATURAL
ORIENTATION OF EACH DEVICE THE READER WILL ENCOUNTER OVER THE
COURSE OF INSTALLING AND TROUBLESHOOTING THE TRANSMITTER.
