EXAMPLE 1 - LEVEL MEASUREMENT
Material Level
This is the most common application of the DPL+ level monitor.
For this example we’ll assume the following:
» one 30 m high cement silo is to be monitored.
» the maximum vessel filling rate is 0.08 m per minute.
» alarm indicators are required when the cement level exceeds 25 m or falls below 10 m.
» filling equipment is to be automatically deactivated at 27 m.
» in the event of a measurement difficulty, failsafe operation is to be activated in 2 minutes.
» if the difficulty doesn’t subside, the filling process is to be stopped before a spill occurs.
» an XLT-30 transducer is mounted with its face flush with the top of the vessel.
» a TS-3 temperature sensor is connected to the Temp Sensor 1 terminals.
