Mounting

Recommendations

 Special handling precautions must be taken to protect the face of the
transducer from any damage.
 Mount the transducer so that it is above the maximum material level by at
least the blanking value (0.3m for XPS 10 F and 0.45m for XPS 15 F). Refer
to the associated transceiver manual for instructions on setting the blanking
value.
 On liquid applications, the transducer must be mounted so that the axis of
transmission is perpendicular to the liquid surface.
 On solids applications, a Siemens Easy Aimer should be used to facilitate
aiming of the transducer.
 Do not over-tighten mounting. Hand tightening of the mounting hardware is
sufficient.
 Secure installation by connecting a safety chain from the transducer to a
structural member.
 Consider the optional temperature sensor when mounting the transducer.
Solids Applications
Note:
For the XPS 10 F series transducer, a hazardous seal must be used
to suit hazardous area classification. This seal is not supplied by
Siemens. For more information, refer to page 20.
