  • Page 7: Introduction

    In order to protect plants, systems, machines and networks against cyber threats, it is necessary to implement – and continuously maintain – a holistic, state-of-the-art industrial security concept. Siemens’ products and solutions only form one element of such a concept. Customer is responsible to prevent unauthorized access to its plants, systems, machines and networks.

  • Page 8: Transportation And Storage

    The sales contract contains all obligations on the part of Siemens as well as the complete and solely applicable warranty conditions. Any statements regarding device versions described in the manual do not create new warranties or modify the existing warranty.

  • Page 9: About Siemens' Transducers

    This product is intended for use in industrial areas. Operation of this equipment in a residential area may cause interference to several frequency based communications. The transducers operate in association with Siemens' ultrasonic level monitoring products by converting electrical pulses that are provided by the transceiver into ultrasonic pulses. When transmitted, these ultrasonic pulses reflect from the material surface and echo back to the transducer.
  • Page 10 Introduction 1.6 About Siemens' Transducers All transducers incorporate an integral temperature sensor that reports the air temperature at the transducer to the transceiver. The connection is transparent, in that both the ultrasonic and temperature components of the transducer use the same leads.

  • Page 43: Submergence

    Appendix A: Applications A.1 Liquids applications A.1.2 Submergence Open Channel Flow Measurement In applications where flooding is possible, the transducer can be fitted with a submergence shield . The shield acts as a bell to create an air pocket in front of the transducer face. The associated transceiver interprets this as a flooding condition, and reacts accordingly.

  • Page 44: Standpipes

    Standpipes Open Channel Flow Measurement In many applications, access must be made via a standpipe. In such cases, a Siemens flange adapter can be used to mate to the flanged standpipe. Another option is to hang the transducer from a blind flange, respecting chemical compatibility.
