  • Page 21: Overvoltage Protection

    ® Instruction Manual NivuCompact Overvoltage Protection For effective protection of the NivuCompact it is necessary to protect power supply and mA outputs by using overvoltage protection devices. NIVUS recommends: DataPro 2x1-24V/24V TR for mA and voltage output of NivuCompact. Overvoltage protection is implemented by using leakage current of 20.000 A as well as automatic self-control using failsafe diodes.

  • Page 24: Installation On Containers, Silos And Tanks

    The compact echo sounder installation on containers, silos and tanks depends on the medium which is to be measured. The most important thing is to adjust the NivuCompact sensor face as perpendicular as possible (±2°) to the medium to be measured (see Fig. 6-11).
