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.

Technical data: For example approvals, process temperature, process fitting/material, signal output, voltage 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...

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 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 3030 C • Foundation Fieldbus...
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). 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. OPTISOUND 3030 C • Foundation Fieldbus...

In vessels with conical bottom it can be advantageous to mount the sensor in the centre of the vessel, as measurement is then possible down to the bottom. Fig. 6: Vessel with conical bottom Mounting socket Preferably the transducer should be mounted flush to the vessel top. OPTISOUND 3030 C • Foundation Fieldbus...

In liquids, direct the sensor as perpendicular as possible to the me- dium surface to achieve optimum measurement results. Fig. 8: Alignment in liquids To optimally align the sensor to solid products, a swivelling holder (mounting strap) can be implemented. OPTISOUND 3030 C • Foundation Fieldbus...

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 • Foundation Fieldbus...

Fig. 11: Cover flat, large-area profiles with deflectors If there are agitators in the vessel, a false signal suppression should Agitators 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 Inflowing medium Do not mount the instruments in or above the filling stream. Make sure that you detect the medium surface, not the inflowing product.

By using a standpipe (surge or bypass tube), the influence of vessel Standpipe measurement 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 3030 C • Foundation Fieldbus...

Fig. 14: Standpipe in the tank Vent hole ø 5 … 10 mm OPTISOUND 3030 C can be used from tube diameters of 100 mm. Avoid large gaps and thick welding joints when connecting the tubes. Generally carry out a false signal suppression.
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 3030 C • Foundation Fieldbus...
