MECHANICAL INSTALLATION

Mounting Considerations

Guidelines:

a)The transmitter should be mounted above the liquid surface using the

2-inch thread provided, but not closer than 12 in. (0,3 m) to the surface. The transmitter does not detect any liquid surface closer than

12 in. (0,3 m) to the transmitter face. (See "Mounting the Transmitter Above the Liquid Surface" on page 3-5).

Optional flanges and bracket kits are available to help mounting.

b)The transmitter should be mounted vertically to ensure a good echo from the liquid surface. The beam half angle of the transmitter is 6 degrees. (See Figure 3-1 on page 3-4).

c)Obstructions in the tank, or well, may generate echoes which can be confused with the real liquid surface echo. Obstructions within the beam angle generate strong false echoes. Wherever possible, the transmitter should be positioned to avoid false echoes.

d)To avoid detecting unwanted objects in the tank or well, it is advisable to maintain a distance of at least 1.3 in. from the center line of the transmitter for every foot (11 cm per meter) range to the obstruction.

e)No false echoes are generated if the transmitter is located near the side of the tank or well, and the wall is smooth and free of protrusions. However, there will still be a reduction in the echo size. It is recommended that the transmitter be mounted no closer than 12 in. (0,3 m) to the wall to avoid a large reduction in the echo size.

f)If the transmitter is mounted in an enclosed tank with a domed top, avoid mounting the transmitter in the center of the tank roof because this could act as a parabolic reflector and create unwanted echoes.

g)Avoid applications where heavy condensation could form on the transmitter face.

h)If the transmitter is mounted in a stand-off or nozzle, the transmitter face should protrude at least 0.2 in. (5 mm) into the tank. If this is not possible, see "Mounting the Transmitter Above the Liquid Surface" on page 3-5).

i)If the transmitter is used in environments where direct sunlight can cause high surface temperatures on exposed instruments, a sun-shade is recommended.
