Page 5: About This Document
Inappropriate or incorrect use of the device can give rise to application-specific hazards, e.g., vessel overfill or damage to system components through incorrect mounting or adjustment. If the 3DLevelScanner is used in a manner not specified in this manual, the protection provided by the 3DLevelScanner will be impaired. 1.2.4... -
Page 6: Ce Conformity
For your safety considered during installation and all common safety regulations and accident prevention rules. 1.2.5 CE conformity The 3DLevelScanner conforms to CE's EMC and NSR standards. CE conformity is as follows: EMC (2004/108/EC) - Emission EN 61326: 1997 (class B) -
Page 7: Product Description
The 3DLevelScanner employs an array of three antennas to transmit low frequency pulses and to receive echoes of the pulses from the contents of the silo, bin, or other container. -
Page 8: Advantages
Product description Advantages Advantages Practice-oriented device versions - The 3DLevelScanner S is available with both thread and flange fittings. Service and maintenance-friendly - Thanks to the non-contact measuring principles, the 3DLevelScanner S is particularly easy to service and maintain. The only volume measurement device for solid applications... -
Page 9: Mounting
Mounting Installation position Mounting Installation position Install the 3DLevelScanner M where you can easily reach it for mounting and connecting. You can install the housing in eight different positions. In each position, the housing can be rotated 45°. Moisture Use the recommended cable (see Connections, page 13) and tighten the cable connection. -
Page 10: Installation Location
Installation Location Installation Location When mounting the 3DLevelScanner M, a distance of at least 400 mm from the vessel wall (500mm from the center of the scanner to the vessel wall) should be maintained. If the 3DLevelScanner M is installed in the center of the vessel, multiple echoes can occur. -
Page 11: Mounting Direction
Mounting Mounting Direction Mounting Direction The 3DLevelScanner must be mounted in the right direction in order to scale and adjust the position of the unit. The mounting direction is indicated by a sticker labeled 0 on the instrument (see image below). The 0 must point to the center of the vessel (including square vessels and open bins). -
Page 12: Socket
Socket pieces should be positioned so that the antenna end protrudes at least 10 mm (0.4 inch) out of the socket. Important Note : Rails/frames should never interfere with the 70 beam angle transmitted and received (see figures below).

Page 13: Sensor Orientation
Inflowing Material Do not mount the devices in or above the filling stream. The optimal position is as far away from the inflowing material. Figure 5: Inflowing material 3DLevelScanner Operating Instruction. © 2009 APM all rights reserved... -
Page 14: Connections
Connections General Requirements Connections Note on safety Always observe the following safety instructions: Connect only in the complete absence of line voltage If overvoltages are expected, overvoltage arresters should be installed. A safety certified power supply which provides double insulation between the primary and output must be used for powering the unit. -
