(e.g. the VDE regulations in Germany) as well as all prevailing safety regulations and accident prevention rules. 2.5 CE conformity OPTISOUND 3030 C is in CE conformity with EMC (89/336/ EWG), fulfils the NAMUR recommendation NE 21 and is in CE conformity with LVD (73/23/EWG).
The range of available functions depends on the respective software version of the individual components. The software version of OPTISOUND 3030 C can be determined as follows: on the type label of the electronics via the indicating/adjustment module.
Housing cover, optionally available with indicating/adjustment module Housing with electronics Process fitting with transducer 3.2 Principle of operation OPTISOUND 3030 C is an ultrasonic sensor for continuous Area of application level measurement. It is suitable for liquids and solids in practically all industries.
The power supply range can differ depending on the instru- ment version. The exact range is stated in the "Technical data" in the "Supplement". 3.3 Adjustment OPTISOUND 3030 C can be adjusted with two different adjustment media: the indicating/adjustment module a HART handheld The entered parameters are generally saved in OPTISOUND 3030 C, optionally also in the indicating/adjustment module.
Use the recommended cable (see chapter "Connecting to Moisture power supply") and thighten 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.

(max. measuring distance) Measuring range Gauge pressure in the vessel does not influence OPTISOUND Pressure/Vacuum 3030 C. Low pressure or vacuum, however, damp the ultrasonic pulses. This influences the measuring result, OPTISOUND 3030 C - 4 … 20 mA/HART...
0.2 bar (-20 kPa) you should use a different measuring principle, e.g. radar or guided radar (TDR). 4.2 Mounting information When mounting OPTISOUND 3030 C, keep a distance of at Installation position least 200 mm (7.9 in) to the vessel wall. If the sensor is installed in the center of dished or rounded vessel tops, multiple echoes can arise.

If the reflective properties of the medium are good, you can mount OPTISOUND 3030 C on a socket piece. You will find recommended values of the socket heights in the following illustration. The socket end should be smooth and burr-free, if possible also rounded.

Fig. 9: Orientation in solids To reduce the min. distance to the medium, you can also mount OPTISOUND 3030 C with a beam deflector. By doing this, it is possible to fill the vessel nearly to maximum. This arrangement is particularly suitable for open vessels such as e.

If there are agitators in the vessel, a false echo storage 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. OPTISOUND 3030 C - 4 … 20 mA/HART...
