    • Abrasion and mechanical influences Second Line of Defense As a standard feature, the NCR-86 is separate from the process through its plastic antenna encapsulation. Optionally, the instrument is available with a Second Line of Defense (SLOD), a second process separation. It is located as gas-tight leadthrough between the process component and the electronics.
  • Page 13 Plastic double chamber Aluminium - double chamber Housing orientation The housing of NCR-86 can be rotated completely by 360°. This enables optimal reading of the display and easy cable entry. For housings made of plastic or electropolished stainless steel, this is done without tools.

Fig. 14: Adapter flange Connection screw 2 Adapter flange Process seal Mounting instructions Polarisation Radar sensors for level measurement emit electromagnetic waves.

  • Page 19 (7.874 in) from the vessel wall. If the device is installed in the center of dished or round vessel tops, multiple echoes can arise. However, these can be suppressed by an appropriate adjustment (see chapter "Setup"). NCR-86 • Two-wire 4 … 20 mA/HART...
  • Page 20 Mount the instrument at least 200 mm (7.874 in) away from the ves- solids sel wall. In this case, it is recommended to repeat the false signal suppression at a later time with existing buildup. NCR-86 • Two-wire 4 … 20 mA/HART...
  • Page 21 This applies especially if buildup on the vessel wall is to be expected. Reference plane The measuring range of the NCR-86 physically begins with the antenna end. However, the min./max. adjustment begins mathematically with the reference plane, which is located differently depending on the sensor version.

  • Page 23 5 Mounting Silo with filling from top: The optimal mounting position is opposite the filling aperture. To avoid heavy soiling of the antenna, the distance to any filter or dust exhauster should be as large as possible. Fig. 21: Mounting of the radar sensor with inflowing medium – filling from top Silo with lateral filling: The optimal mounting position is next to the filling. To avoid heavy soiling of the antenna, the distance to any filter or dust exhauster should be as large as possible. NCR-86 • Two-wire 4 … 20 mA/HART...
  • Page 24 Socket mounting - short For nozzle mounting, the nozzle should be as short as possible and nozzles its end rounded. This reduces false reflections from the nozzle. With threaded connection, the antenna end should protrude at least 5 mm (0.2 in) out of the nozzle. NCR-86 • Two-wire 4 … 20 mA/HART...
  • Page 25 Flange with lens antenna Socket mounting - longer If the reflective properties of the medium are good, you can mount nozzles NCR-86 on sockets longer than the antenna. The socket end should be smooth and burr-free, if possible also rounded. Note: When mounting on a longer socket piece, we recommend to carry out a false signal suppression (see chapter "Parameter adjustment").

Agitators Agitators in the vessel can reflect the measurement signal and thus lead to undesired incorrect measurements. Note: To avoid this, a false signal suppression should 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. NCR-86 • Two-wire 4 … 20 mA/HART...
  • Page 34 In these applications, it must be taken into account that the radar sensors are designed for relatively slow level changes. Therefore, when using on moving parts, observe the measurement characteris- tics of the device (see chapter "Technical data"). NCR-86 • Two-wire 4 … 20 mA/HART...
