Page 17: System Description
LB 470RID Level 3 System Description System Description Overview The level measuring device LB 470RID is an industrial measuring system for the contactless and continuous determination of the level of a product in a container. The LB 470RID measuring system extends the functionality of the radiometric level measurement of the LB 470 by the function of Radiation Interference Discrimina- tion (RID).
Page 18: Measuring Principle
3 System Description LB 470RID Level Measuring Principle Gamma radiation is used to penetrate a medium in a container. The attenuation of the radiation is analyzed to measure the level in the container. The evaluation DuoXpert LB 470RID (master EVU) is used for the evaluation, trans- mission and visualization of measured values which it receives from the connected detectors.
Page 19: Scintillation Detectors
LB 470RID Level 3 System Description measurements. This system distinguishes between the energies of the wanted and unwanted radioactive isotopes and suppresses the effects of the unwanted radia- tion. This represents a huge advantage in situations where frequent weld testing is performed.
Page 20: Interference Radiation And Pulse Height Analysis
3 System Description LB 470RID Level 3.3.2 Interference Radiation and Pulse Height Analysis Ionizing radiation registered by the detector which does not come from the meas- uring source is called interference radiation. In the testing of welds and other material testing, radioactive sources of very high activity (up to 100 Ci) are used. These applications almost always use low energy radiation sources for example, Ir- 192 or Se-75.
Page 21: Secondary Channel
LB 470RID Level 3 System Description 3.3.3 Secondary Channel As is shown in illustration 3, a second channel (SC) with a different threshold set- ting is provided (threshold 2). Only pulses which cross the threshold 2 voltage (height) level are processed in channel SC, the secondary channel. The number of pulses coming from the interference radiation source which fulfil this criterion is small and can be neglected in most cases.
Page 22: Automatic Calibration Improvement
3 System Description LB 470RID Level 3.3.5 Automatic Calibration Improvement For an optimum recognition of interference radiation and reliable switching from Measuring to Secondary Channel, the level must be measured exactly equally in both channels under normal operating conditions without interference radiation, i.e.
Page 23: Restrictions And Limits Of Interference Radiation Suppression
LB 470RID Level 3 System Description 3.3.6 Restrictions and Limits of Interference Radiation Sup- pression To be able to use the total functionality of the LB 470RID and to avoid incorrect settings, understanding of the restrictions and limits of the interference radiation suppression system is required.
