Solids Applications - Siemens XLT Series Operating Instructions Manual

Mounting
Installation shall only be performed by qualified personnel and in accordance with
Note:
local governing regulations.
• Mount the transducer so that it is above the maximum material level by at least the
blanking value. Refer to the associated controller manual.
• On liquid applications, the transducer must be mounted so that the axis of transmission is
perpendicular to the liquid surface.
• On solids applications, use a Siemens Milltronics Easy Aimer to aim the transducer.
• Secure installation by connecting a safety chain from the transducer to a structural
member.
• Consider the optional temperature sensor when mounting the transducer.
Wear proper ear protection in the vicinity of the operating transducer.
Caution:
The XLT 60 transducers could emit hazardous sound pressure. They shall be installed
in such a manner that the sound pressure will be reduced to a non-hazardous level.
