Installation Of Multiple Devices - Bindicator TDR-3000 Installation & Operation Manual

INSTALLATION OF MULTIPLE DEVICES

If two devices are being used in the same tank, the units should be mounted at
a distance of at least 6.5 ft (2 m) away from each other. If not, interferences from
the electromagnetic (EM) fields generated by both instruments may
CABLE PROBE ALIGNMENT
The cable probe should be installed in a manner that allows the cable probe to
hang straight. The probe should not make direct contact with the bottom or the
side of the tank. The cable probe must be at least 12 in.
(30 cm) away from side walls, wall reinforcements, mixers, etc to avoid kinks or
entanglements that will influence the cable probe's electromagnetic field and the material readings.
CABLE PROBE TETHERING
The cable probe should be installed so that the counterweight can be tethered to the cone of the tank; a pigtail can
also be used. When tethering the cable probe it should be attached to the tank in such a manner as to allow the
cable probe to move as the material level changes. Tethering of the cable probe is done to provide an electrical path
for discharge of static build-up. The cable probe should not be anchored in a fashion that adds any additional load to
the top of the tank.
WARNING: TETHERING OF THE CABLE PROBE IS REQUIRED TO PREVENT STATIC
DISCHARGE AND ELECTRICAL SHOCK.
