    The Echomax XPS F series of transducers can be used in hazardous areas. For the XPS 10 F series transducer, a hazardous seal must be used to suit hazardous area classification. This seal is not supplied by Siemens. The XPS 15 F comes equipped with a stainless steel coupling suitable for use in hazardous locations.

  • Page 10: 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 Siemens Easy Aimer should be used to facilitate aiming of the transducer.  Do not over-tighten mounting. Hand tightening of the mounting hardware is sufficient.

  • Page 11: Liquid Applications

    Notes:  In, the examples that follow, an XPS 10 F Series transducer is shown using a hazardous seal. This seal is not supplied by Siemens.  An XPS 15 F transducer can also be used in these applications, but, because it comes equipped with a stainless steel coupling, no hazardous seal is required.

    Applications Notes:  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.

    Solids Applications Typical Transducer angled to avoid seams in bin wall and aimed at discharge in order to read bin when empty. Avoid intersecting bin wall seams, structural members and wall irregularities. bin wall seams filling profile emptying profile Transducer too close to material inlet. Falling material will intersect sound beam and cause erroneous readings or loss of echo.
