Sultan Acoustic Wave Series
Amplier
Select a suitable mounting position that is protected
from direct sunlight. If necessary, utilize a sun
hood (HAWK supplies purpose made sun hoods).
Observe the minimum and maximum temperature
limits (-20°C/-4°F to 60°C/140°F) Do not mount near
sources of electrical noise such as high current
cables, motor starters, or variable speed drives. Avoid
mounting in high vibration areas such as handrails
and rotating plant. Use rubber absorption mounts if
mounting in light vibration areas. Protect the PCB
assembly before knocking out the cable and conduit
entry holes.
Panel Mount
• Select a suitable position within a panel layout which
allows clearance around the outside of the front
panel of the unit and also behind the panel for
clearance around the screw fixing clamps used to
retain the unit.
• Ensure that sufficient space is available behind
the panel to accommodate the depth of the amplifier
housing, and also allow cable bend clearance for
wiring to the terminals on the rear of the amplifier.
• Mark and cut a 90x90mm (3.54x3.54”) square cut
out through the panel in the desired position.
• Insert the Sultan amplifier through the panel and
install supplied screw clamps into the slotted holes
in the amplifier housing.
• Tighten the screws until just firm to secure the
amplifier in place.
• Connect wiring as required to the correct terminals
on the removable rear panel connectors. When
plugging connectors in to the rear panel, ensure that
they are re-installed in the correct position.
Transducer
Selecting a suitable position to mount the transducer
on the vessel is the single MOST IMPORTANT step.
Please read all of the installation guide and contact
your HAWK representative if you have any doubts or
questions. The transducer face MUST be at least the
blanking distance away from highest product level in
the vessel.
Use common sense when selecting the transducer
mounting position. A clear line of sight from the
transducer to the product being monitored is
required.
Take into account the change in material shape and
level. The acoustic pulse must reflect back to the
transducer.
Incorrect Mounting
Failure to mount the unit suitably can result in
incorrect measurement and may cause process
issues such as overfilling or damage to critical
components.
Process Conditions
Ensure the process conditions within the vessel such
as temperature, pressure and chemical composition
of contents are within the specifications Sultan unit.
The unit should not normally come into contact with
the measured content.
