About the Transducer The Echomax XLS / XLT series of transducers operates in association with Milltronics ultrasonic level monitoring products. transducer The transducer converts the electrical energy of the transmit pulse from the transceiver into transducer acoustical energy. It then...
T1, T2, T3, T4, and T5 for the XLS-30 and XLS-60, and T1, T2, and T3 for the XLT-30 and XLT-60. The XLS series is only certified for use in ambient temperatures in the range of -40°C to 90°C and the XLT series is only certified for use in an ambient range of -40°C to 150°C.
• 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.
Interconnection Milltronics transceiver Direct Connection (typical) blk/hot wht/shld junction 2 Wire Extension drain/shield extend cable using 18 AWG shielded / twisted pair Coaxial Extension extend cable using RG – 62 A/U coax for optimum signal to noise ratio Note: Grounding transducer as shown is mandatory per safety regulations, and for isolation against electrical interference.
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.
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.

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.
