Page 3 - ABOUT THE TRANSDUCER; GENERAL GUIDELINES

ABOUT THE TRANSDUCER The Echomax XPS / XCT series of transducers operates in association with Milltronics ultrasonic level monitoring products. The transducer converts the electrical energy of the transmit pulse from the transceiver into acoustical energy. It then converts the acoustical energy of t...

For optimum isolation against electrical noise, run cable separately in a grounded metal conduit. Seal all thread connections to prevent ingress ...

Page 12 - APPLICATIONS; LIQUID APPLICATIONS - STILLING WELL / OCM; in applications where the temperature can change quickly.

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 performancechanges are observed, immediately shut down the level measurement system and perform athorough inspection, especially...

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. Theassociated transceiver ▼ interprets this as a flooding condition, and reacts ac...

Page 14 - LIQUID APPLICATIONS - STANDPIPES

LIQUID APPLICATIONS - STANDPIPES In many applications access must be made via a standpipe. In such cases, Milltronics canprovide factory bonded flanged transducers or split flange kit that will readily mate to theflanged standpipe. Another option is to hang the transducer from a blind flange. The st...

Page 15 - LIQUID APPLICATIONS - VOLUME; Echo has missed improperly leveled transducer.

LIQUID APPLICATIONS - VOLUME 1. Beam should not detect bin bottom. If this occurs use range extension parameters (on transceivers where available) to omit false echoes. A 6° beam angle represents a rise : run of about 20 : 1 (10 : 1 for 12°). In most tanks, the transducer should be centered as much ...

SOLIDS APPLICATIONS - TYPICAL 3. Transducer too close to material inlet. Falling material will intersect sound beam and cause erroneous readings or loss of echo. 1. Transducer angled to avoid seams in bin wall and aimed at discharge in order to read bin when empty. 2. Avoid intersecting bin wall sea...
