General instructions for When handling radioactive sources, unnecessary radiation exposure radiation protection must be avoided. An unavoidable radiation exposure must be kept as low as possible. Take note of the following three important measures: Fig. 2: Measures for protection against radioactive radiation Shielding Time Distance FIBERTRAC 32 • Four-wire 4 … 20 mA/HART... - Page 7 Control areas are areas in which the local dose rate exceeds a certain value. Only persons who undergo official dose monitoring are allowed into these control areas. You can find the respectively valid limit values for control areas in the guideline of the respective authority (in Ger- many, for example, the radiation protection ordinance). We are at your disposal for further information concerning radiation protection and regulations in other countries. FIBERTRAC 32 • Four-wire 4 … 20 mA/HART...

Page 9: Mounting Instructions
The following mounting information is applicable as long as there is nothing else specified in the "Source Sizing" document. Fig. 3: Level measurement in a storage tank Measuring range Measurement length (L1, L2) FIBERTRAC 32 • Four-wire 4 … 20 mA/HART... - Page 10 You can find information on protective barriers and the mounting of the corresponding source container in the operating instructions manual of the source container, e.g. VEGASOURCE. You can mount the FIBERTRAC 32 with the housing head upward or downward. When the housing head is mounted downward, the hous- ing itself is more easily accessible. Fasten the sensor in such a way that it cannot fall out of the holder. If necessary, provide the sensor with a support from below.
- Page 11 Make sure that the red marking lines directly join the measuring range of the next FIBERTRAC 32. Mount the FIBERTRAC 32 in such a way that the detector hose is directly in the radiated area of the source container. Mount the FIBERTRAC 32 preferably side by side and make sure that no detec- tor hose is hidden by another sensor.
- Page 12 If these measures are not sufficient to maintain the max. ambient temperature, you could consider using the water or air cooling system we offer for FIBERTRAC 32. The cooling system must also be included in the calculations for the measuring point. Contact our specialists regarding the dimensioning of the cooling. FIBERTRAC 32 • Four-wire 4 … 20 mA/HART...
