Page 18: Measuring Principle
3 System Description LB 470 Level Measuring Principle Gamma radiation is used to penetrate a medium in a container. The attenuation of the radiation is analysed to measure the level in the container. The evaluation DuoXpert LB 470 (master EVU) is used for the evaluation, transmis- sion and visualisation of measured values which it receives from the connected detectors.

Page 25: Measurement Arrangements
3 System Description LB 470 Level Measurement arrangements The detector and/or the source are rod-shaped for a radiometric level measure- ment, so as to form a triangular or rectangular useful beam field. The change of the measurement signal for different level results from the different sized covering of the radiation field.
