  • Page 8: Mounting - Solids Applications

    Mounting Dos and Don’ts Special handling precautions must be taken to protect the face of the transducer from any damage. Mount the transducer so that it is above the maximum material level by at least the blanking value. Refer to the associated transceiver manual. On liquid applications, the transducer must be mounted so that the axis of transmission is perpendicular to the liquid surface.

    Mounting - Liquid Applications Flexible Conduit Bracket flexible conduit steel channel coupling safety chain transducer Flexible conduit mounted transducer should not be subjected to wind, vibration or jarring. Submersible Plywood rigid metal conduit coupling safety chain submergence shield Submersible transducer, used in Plywood mounting provides excellent applications where flooding is possible.

  • Page 12 Dos and Don’ts Installation shall only be performed by qualified personnel and in accordance with local governing regulations. Do not route cable openly. For optimum isolation against electrical noise, run cable separately in a grounded metal conduit. Seal all thread connections to prevent ingress of moisture. Do not run cable near high voltage or current runs, contactors and SCR control drives.
  • Page 13 Applications The transducer is to be used only in the manner outlined in this instruction manual. Normally, the transducer requires no cleaning or maintenance. However, if performance changes are observed, immediately shut down the level measurement system and perform a thorough inspection, especially on the transducer.

  • Page 14 Liquid Applications - Submergence In applications where flooding is possible the transducer* can be fitted with a submergence shield. The shield acts as a bell to create an air pocket in front of the transducer face. The associated transceiver* interprets this as a flooding condition, and reacts accordingly.
  • Page 15 Liquid Applications - Standpipes In many applications access must be made via a standpipe. In such cases, Milltronics can provide factory bonded flanged transducers or split flange kit that will readily mate to the flanged standpipe. Another option is to hang the transducer from a blind flange. The standpipe length should be as short and the diameter as large as possible.
