SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS OPTIWAVE 6300 C Warnings and symbols used DANGER! This information refers to the immediate danger when working with electricity. DANGER! These warnings must be observed without fail. Even partial disregard of this warning can lead to serious health problems and even death. There is also the risk of seriously damaging the device or parts of the operator's plant.
INSTALLATION OPTIWAVE 6300 C 2.1 Intended use This radar level transmitter measures distance, level, mass, volume and reflectivity of granulates and powders. It can be installed on silos, hoppers and bunkers. www.krohne.com 03/2014 - 4000331505 - QS OPTIWAVE 6300 R05 en...
INSTALLATION OPTIWAVE 6300 C 2.2 Scope of delivery INFORMATION! Do a check of the packing list to make sure that you have all the elements given in the order. Scope of delivery – horn antenna Figure 2-1: Scope of delivery – horn antenna...
INSTALLATION OPTIWAVE 6300 C 2.3 Visual Check WARNING! If the display screen glass is broken, do not touch. INFORMATION! Inspect the packaging carefully for damages or signs of rough handling. Report damage to the carrier and to the local office of the manufacturer.
INSTALLATION OPTIWAVE 6300 C 2.4 Storage WARNING! Do not keep the device in a vertical position. This will damage the antenna and the device will not measure correctly. Figure 2-5: Storage conditions 1 When you put the device into storage, do not keep it in a vertical position 2 Put the device on its side.
INSTALLATION OPTIWAVE 6300 C 2.5 Transport Figure 2-6: How to lift the device 1 Remove the converter before you lift the device with a hoist. WARNING! Lift the device carefully to prevent damage to the antenna. 2.6 Pre-installation requirements INFORMATION! Obey the precautions that follow to make sure that the device is correctly installed.
INSTALLATION OPTIWAVE 6300 C 2.7 How to prepare the silo before you install the device CAUTION! To avoid measuring errors and device malfunction, obey these precautions. 2.7.1 Pressure and temperature ranges Figure 2-7: Pressure and temperature ranges 1 Flange temperature ®...
INSTALLATION OPTIWAVE 6300 C 2.7.2 Recommended mounting position CAUTION! Follow these recommendations to make sure that the device measures correctly. Figure 2-8: Recommended nozzle position for solids 1 Position of the process fitting from the silo wall, r/2 (for DN80, DN100, DN150 or DN200 horn antennas, and DN80 or...
INSTALLATION OPTIWAVE 6300 C Figure 2-9: Product inlets 1 The device is in the correct position. 2 The device is too near to the product inlet. Figure 2-10: More than 1 FMCW radar level meter can be operated in a silo More than 1 FMCW radar level meter can be operated in a silo.
INSTALLATION OPTIWAVE 6300 C Figure 2-11: General installation recommendations 1 The level transmitter can continue to measure to the bottom of the silo if you tilt the device as shown in the illustration (a 2° slanted flange option is available for all antennas) 2 We recommend that you do an empty spectrum recording if there are too many obstacles in the radar beam.
INSTALLATION OPTIWAVE 6300 C • Make sure the flange on the nozzle is level. • Make sure that you use the applicable gasket for the flange dimensions and the process. • Align the gasket correctly on the flange facing of the nozzle.
