  • Page 11: Mounting

    • On liquid applications, the transducer must be mounted so that the axis of transmission is perpendicular to the liquid surface. • On solids applications, a Milltronics Easy Aimer should be used to facilitate aiming of the transducer. • Secure installation by connecting a safety chain from the transducer to a structural member.

  • Page 14: Recommendations

    Recommendations Note: Installation shall only be performed by qualified personnel and in accordance with local governing regulations. For best results follow these installation rules: • Do not route cable openly, instead run cable separately in a grounded metal conduit to protect it from ambient electrical noise. •...

    Applications Notes: • The transducer is to be used only in the manner outlined in this instruction manual. • This transducer requires no maintenance, and is recommended for use with liquids only. Solids Easy Aimer bin wall seams filling profile emptying profile 1.
  • Page 16: Liquids

    Liquids Standpipes In many applications, access must be made via a standpipe. In such cases the transducer is hung from a blind flange. The standpipe length should be as short and the diameter as large as possible. As a rule of thumb, the -3 dB cone of the sound beam should not intersect the standpipe wall in applications opening into a vessel or larger area.

  • Page 18: Maintenance

    Notes Beam should not detect bin bottom. If this occurs, use range extension parameters (on transceivers where available) to omit false echoes. A 5° beam angle represents a rise:run ratio of approximately 20:1. In most tanks the transducer should be centred as much as possible (without interference from inlet) for optimum reading range.
