Mounting
Note:
Installation shall only be performed by qualified personnel and in accordance with
local governing regulations.
Mount the transducer so that it is above the maximum material level by at least the
•
blanking value. Refer to the associated controller manual.
•
On liquid applications, the transducer must be mounted so that the axis of transmission is
perpendicular to the liquid surface.
•
On solids applications, use a Siemens Milltronics Easy Aimer to aim the transducer.
•
Secure installation by connecting a safety chain from the transducer to a structural
member.
•
Consider the optional temperature sensor when mounting the transducer.
Caution:
Wear proper ear protection in the vicinity of the operating transducer.
The XLT 60 transducers could emit hazardous sound pressure. They shall be installed in
such a manner that the sound pressure will be reduced to a non-hazardous level.
