Mounting
Recommendations
• Special handling precautions must be taken to protect the face of the
transducer from any damage.
• Mount the transducer so that it is above the maximum material level by at
least the blanking value (0.3m for XPS 10 F and 0.45m for XPS 15 F). Refer
to the associated transceiver manual for instructions on setting the blanking
value.
• On liquid applications, the transducer must be mounted so that the axis of
transmission is perpendicular to the liquid surface.
• On solids applications, a Milltronics Easy Aimer should be used to facilitate
aiming of the transducer.
• Do not over-tighten mounting. Hand tightening of the mounting hardware is
sufficient.
• Secure installation by connecting a safety chain from the transducer to a
structural member.
• Consider the optional temperature sensor when mounting the transducer.
Solids Applications
(XPS 10 F shown)
Note:
For the XPS 10 F series transducer, a hazardous seal must be used
to suit hazardous area classification. This seal is
not
supplied by
Milltronics. For more information, refer to page 26.
