Level System Synchronization
Avoid mounting the AiRanger DPL Plus near another ultrasonic level monitor. Likewise,
when more than one monitor is installed within a single plant/facility, ensure the
transducer cables of each system are run in separate grounded metal conduits. If this
system separation is impractical, or if measurement difficulties are encountered, system
synchronization may be required.
Synchronize the AiRanger DPL Plus with another AiRanger DPL Plus
1.
Mount the level monitors together in one cabinet.
2.
Ensure the level monitors share a common power (mains) supply, and ground
(earth).
3.
Interconnect the SYNC terminals of the level monitors to be synchronized.
Note:
To synchronize the AiRanger DPL Plus with other Siemens Milltronics
ultrasonic level monitors, contact Siemens Milltronics or your local distributor.
