Installation Guidelines

• Mounting: Install the transmitter in a vertical position, ensuring the transducer face is clear of any obstructions such as agitators, fill pipes, or tank walls that could cause false echoes.
• Environment: Avoid mounting the unit in areas with heavy turbulence or excessive foaming on the liquid surface, as these conditions can impede ultrasonic wave propagation.
• Wiring: Use shielded, twisted-pair cabling for the 4-20 mA HART loop to prevent electromagnetic interference. Ensure all cable glands are tightened securely to maintain the integrity of the enclosure.
• Configuration: Utilize the HART protocol to configure parameters such as tank dimensions, material type, and damping constants during the initial commissioning phase.
• Maintenance: Periodically inspect the transducer face for buildup; clean using non-abrasive materials to ensure signal accuracy.
