During work on and with the device the required personal protective equipment must always be worn. Appropriate use OPTISOUND 3030 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.
The safety approval markings and safety tips on the device must be observed. CE conformity The device fulfills the legal requirements of the applicable EC guide- lines. By affixing the CE marking, we confirm successful testing of the product. 2.7 Fulfillment of NAMUR recommendations NAMUR is the automation technology user association in the process industry in Germany. The published NAMUR recommendations are accepted as the standard in field instrumentation. The device fulfills the requirements of the following NAMUR recom- mendations: • NE 21 – Electromagnetic compatibility of equipment • NE 53 – Compatibility of field devices and display/adjustment components For further information see www.namur.de.

Technical data: For example approvals, process temperature, process fitting/material, signal output, power supply, protection Principle of operation Application area OPTISOUND 3030 C is an ultrasonic sensor for continuous level measurement. It is suitable for liquids and solids in practically all industries. Functional principle The transducer of the ultrasonic sensor transmits short ultrasonic pulses to the measured product. These pulses are reflected by...

You can also install the display and adjustment module in four different positions (each displaced by 90°). Moisture Use the recommended cables (see chapter "Connecting to power supply") and tighten the cable gland. You can give your OPTISOUND 3030 C additional protection against moisture penetration by leading the connection cable downward in front of the cable entry. Rain and condensation water can thus drain off. This applies mainly to outdoor mounting as well as installation in areas where high humidity is expected (e.g. through cleaning pro- cesses) or on cooled or heated vessels.
Mounting instructions Installation position When mounting the OPTISOUND 3030 C, keep a distance of at least 200 mm (7.874 in) to the vessel wall. If the sensor is installed in the center of dished or round vessel tops, multiple echoes can arise. These can, however, be suppressed by an appropriate adjustment (see chapter "Setup").

Fig. 6: Vessel with conical bottom Socket Preferably the transducer should be mounted flush to the vessel top. If the reflective properties of the medium are good, you can mount OPTISOUND 3030 C on a socket piece. You will find recommended values for socket heights in the following illustration.

If large vessel installations such as struts or supports cause false echoes, these can be attenuated through supplementary measures. Small, inclined sheet metal or plastic baffles above the installations scatter the ultrasonic signals and avoid direct false echoes. OPTISOUND 3030 C • 4 … 20 mA/HART - two-wire...

If there are agitators in the vessel, a false signal storage should be Agitators carried out with the agitators in motion. This ensures that the interfer- ing reflections from the agitators are saved with the blades in different positions. Fig. 12: Agitators Inflowing medium Do not mount the instruments in or above the filling stream. Make sure that you detect the product surface, not the inflowing product.
