Description 3.5 Accessories • Dry and dust free • Not exposed to corrosive media • Protected against solar radiation • Avoiding mechanical shock and vibration Storage and transport temperature • Storage and transport temperature see chapter ""Supplement - Technical data - Ambient conditions"...
Installing/mounting General instructions Ambient conditions The transmitter is suitable for standard and extended ambient conditions acc. to DIN/ EN/BS EN/IEC/ANSI/ISA/UL/CSA 61010-1. It can be used indoors as well as outdoors. Process conditions Note For safety reasons, the transmitter must only be operated within the permissible process conditions.
Installing/mounting 4.3 Mounting instructions Figure 4.1 Mounting via a mounting bracket Mounting instructions Installation position When mounting the device, keep a distance of at least 200 mm (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.

Installing/mounting 4.4 Measurement setup - Flow Figure 4.8 Agitators Foam generation Through the action of filling, stirring and other processes in the vessel, foams which considerably damp the emitted signals may form on the medium surface. If foams lead to measurement errors, you should use transmitters with guided radar. Measurement setup - Flow Mounting In general, the following must be observed while mounting the device:...

Access protection Bluetooth radio interface Devices with a Bluetooth radio interface are protected against unwanted access from outside. This means that only authorized persons can receive measured and status values and change device settings via this interface. Bluetooth PIN A Bluetooth PIN is required to establish Bluetooth communication via the adjustment tool (smartphone/tablet/notebook).
Page 29
Access protection 6.2 Protection of the parameterization Device Access PUK The Device Access PUK allows unlocking the device in case the user PIN is no longer known. It can't be changed. The Device Access PUK can also be found on the supplied information sheet ""Device Bluetooth and Parameter Access Codes".
Setup with smart device (Bluetooth) Connecting Connecting Start the adjustment app. The smart device searches automatically for Bluetooth- capable transmitters in the area. The devices found are listed. Select the requested transmitter in the device list. Authenticate When establishing the connection for the first time, the operating tool and the transmitter must authenticate each other.
Operating To configure the device: Download and install the SITRANS mobile IQ app from the App store to your mobile device. Launch the app. Devices in range will appear. Click on the device you wish to connect to. On first connection, a PIN code shipped with the device needs to be entered (see Device Bluetooth and Parameter Access Codes sheet).
