During work on and with the device, the required personal protective equipment must always be worn. Appropriate use OPTISOUND 3020 C is a sensor for continuous level measurement. You can find detailed information about the area of application in chapter " Product description". Operational reliability is ensured only if the instrument is properly used according to the specifications in the operating instructions manual as well as possible supplementary instructions.

Technical data: For example approvals, process temperature, process fitting/material, signal output, voltage supply, protection Principle of operation Application area OPTISOUND 3020 C is an ultrasonic sensor for continuous level measurement. It is suitable for liquids and solids in virtually all indus- tries, particularly in the water and waste water industry. Functional principle The transducer of the ultrasonic sensor transmits short ultrasonic pulses to the measured product. These pulses are reflected by...

Prior to setup you have to replace these protective caps with ap- proved cable glands or close the openings with suitable blind plugs. The reference plane for the measuring range is the lower edge of the Reference plane for measuring range transducer. Make sure that a minimum distance from the reference plane - the so-called dead zone, in which measurement is not possible - is OPTISOUND 3020 C • Foundation Fieldbus...

100% Fig. 4: Measuring range (operating range) and max. measuring distance full empty (max. measuring distance) Measuring range Pressure/Vacuum Gauge pressure in the vessel does not influence OPTISOUND 3020 C. Low pressure or vacuum does, however, damp the ultrasonic pulses. This influences the measuring result, particularly if the level is very low. With pressures under -0.2 bar (-20 kPa) you should use a different measuring principle, e.g. radar or guided radar (TDR). OPTISOUND 3020 C • Foundation Fieldbus...
4 Mounting Mounting instructions Screwing in Screw OPTISOUND 3020 C into the mounting socket with an ap- propriate spanner applied to the hexagon of the process fitting. Max. torque see chapter "Technical data". Warning: The housing must not be used to screw the instrument in! Applying tightening force can damage internal parts of the housing.

Fig. 7: Recommended socket mounting If the reflective properties of the medium are good, you can mount OPTISOUND 3020 C on sockets which are higher than the length of the transducer. You will find recommended values for socket heights in the following illustration. The socket end should be smooth and burr- free, if possible also rounded. Carry out a false signal suppression.

Fig. 11: Cover flat, large-area profiles with deflectors Agitators If there are agitators in the vessel, a false signal suppression should be carried out with the agitators in motion. This ensures that the interfering reflections from the agitators are saved with the blades in different positions. Fig. 12: Agitators Do not mount the instruments in or above the filling stream. Make sure Inflowing medium that you detect the product surface, not the inflowing product. OPTISOUND 3020 C • Foundation Fieldbus...

Standpipe measurement By using a standpipe (surge or bypass tube), the influence of vessel installations, foam generation and turbulence is excluded. Standpipes must extend all the way down to the requested min. level, as measurement is only possible within the tube. OPTISOUND 3020 C • Foundation Fieldbus...

The cable screens to the power supply unit and to the next distributor must be connected to each other and also connected to ground potential via a ceramic capacitor (e.g. 1 nF, 1500 V). The low frequency potential equalisation currents are thus suppressed, OPTISOUND 3020 C • Foundation Fieldbus...
