Transducers Compact Operating Instructions, 09/2018, A5E43390688-AB 7 1.6 About Siemens' Transducers Note This product is intended for use in industrial areas. Operation of this equipment in a residential area may cause interference to several frequency based communications. The transducers operate in association with Siemens' ultrasonic level monitoring products by converting electrical pulses that are provided by the transceiver into ultrasonic pulses. When transmitted, these ultrasonic pulses reflect from the material surface and echo back to the transducer. The echo is converted back to an electrical signal, and is interpreted by the Siemens transceiver using our proven Sonic Intelligence™ algorithms. The effective acoustical energy is emitted from the transducer face and radiated outward, decreasing in amplitude at a rate inversely proportional to the square of the distance. Maximum power is radiated axially (perpendicular) from the transducer face in a line referred to as the axis of transmission. Where power is reduced by half (– 3 dB), a conical boundary defining the sound beam, centered about the axis of transmission, is established. The diametric measurement of the cone in degrees defines the beam angle. Impedance matching techniques are used to optimize the transfer of power from the transducer into air and vice versa. All transducers incorporate an integral temperature sensor that reports the air temperature at the transducer to the transceiver. The connection is transparent, in that both the ultrasonic and temperature components of the transducer use the same leads.

Transducers 10 Compact Operating Instructions, 09/2018, A5E43390688-AB 2.1.3 Improper device modifications WARNING Improper device modifications Risk to personnel, system and environment can result from modifications to the device, particularly in hazardous areas. • Only carry out modifications that are described in the instructions for the device. Failure to observe this requirement cancels the manufacturer's warranty and the product approvals. 2.1.4 Safety Precautions The ST-H transducer body is a two part design molded in PVDF or ETFE with internal parts potted in epoxy. The joint between the upper and lower sections is not a hermetic seal. The structural integrity of the transducer will be compromised if the joint is exposed to an environment that attacks epoxy. As a result, the top section will separate from the main body of the transducer. For environments that are compatible with PVDF or ETFE but may degrade epoxy, the transducer must be mounted through a flange or stub mount using the 2" thread on the lower section of the transducer. The joint between upper and lower sections of the transducer must be isolated from the corrosive environment. ① Suitable for use in a corrosive environment ② Not suitable for use in a corrosive environment

Transducers Compact Operating Instructions, 09/2018, A5E43390688-AB 11 WARNING Risk of explosion If the top section separates from the main body of the transducer, live circuitry will be exposed to the hazardous environment, increasing the risk of an explosion if volatile or explosive dusts or gases are in sufficient concentration. A malfunction of the level system may also occur, which may affect the process using the ultrasonic ranging system. 2.2 Use in hazardous areas Qualified personnel for hazardous area applications Persons who install, connect, commission, operate, and service the device in a hazardous area must have the following specific qualifications: ● They are authorized, trained or instructed in operating and maintaining devices and systems according to the safety regulations for electrical circuits, high pressures, aggressive, and hazardous media. ● They are authorized, trained, or instructed in carrying out work on electrical circuits for hazardous systems. ● They are trained or instructed in maintenance and use of appropriate safety equipment according to the pertinent safety regulations.

Applications A Note • The transducer is to be used only in the manner outlined in this operating instructions. • Normally, the transducer requires no cleaning or maintenance. However, if performance changes are observed, immediately shut down the level measurement system and perform a thorough inspection, especially on the transducer. • An XPS-15F transducer is shown in these examples. An explosion proof conduit seal may not be required. A.1 Liquids applications A.1.1 Stilling well with standpipe Open Channel Flow Measurement A stilling well and/or standpipe is hydraulically connected to the primary element and used to reduce the effect of waves and surges that may be present in a primary element. Stilling well and/or standpipe are most often found in older installations where a floating gauge may have been used.

A.1.2 Submergence Open Channel Flow Measurement In applications where flooding is possible, the transducer can be fitted with a submergence shield1). The shield acts as a bell to create an air pocket in front of the transducer face. The associated transceiver* interprets this as a flooding condition, and reacts accordingly. Note Refer to transceiver manual for programming requirements.

In such cases, a Siemens flange adapter can be used to mate to the flanged standpipe. Another option is to hang the transducer from a blind flange, respecting chemical compatibility. The standpipe length should be as short and the diameter as large as possible. As a rule of thumb, the -3 dB cone of the sound beam should not intersect the standpipe wall in applications opening into a vessel or larger area. Otherwise, additional blanking will be required to compensate for the interference zone created by the opening. Note When using a stilling well, make sure there is no build-up, welds, couplings, or other debris on the inside of the well wall. This can affect reliability of level measurement.

Transducers Compact Operating Instructions, 09/2018, A5E43390688-AB 39 ① Flanged transducer ① No vessel ② No intersection ③ Vessel No additional blanking required No additional blanking required ① Nipple welded into blind flange ① Nipple welded into blind flange ② Transducer ② Transducer ③ Standpipe end cut on a 45° angle typically ③ Sound beam intersects ④ Transducer can read level inside or below standpipe ④ Reflection at interference zone created by opening ⑤ Vessel No additional blanking required Near blanking extension of 150 mm (6") past end of standpipe may be required

Transducers 40 Compact Operating Instructions, 09/2018, A5E43390688-AB A.1.4 Volume ① Main fill level for full calibration. Above this level erroneous readings will result as level has entered blanking zone. ⑦ Span: Corresponds to tank manufac- turer's empty level ② 'Alternate' ⑧ Rise ③ 'Preferred' ⑨ Tank manufacturer's empty level ④ 'Bad' ⑩ Discharge ⑤ Tank manufacturer's full level ⑪ May require target to obtain empty reading ⑥ Beam angle ⑫ Empty level for 'alternate' locations. Below this level, echo would reflect away from the transducer. Notes: 1. Beam should not detect bin bottom. If this occurs, use range extension parameters (on transceivers where available) to omit false echoes. 2. Sound beam must be perpendicular to liquid surface. When mounting the standpipe and flange, you must ensure that the transducer face will be parallel with the liquid's surface. Refer to Standpipes (Page 38).

Transducers Compact Operating Instructions, 09/2018, A5E43390688-AB 41 3. Echo has missed improperly leveled transducer. As in the second bullet, ensure that the standpipe and flange are mounted to set the transducer face level with the measured liquid. 4. Calibrate under normal conditions. When performing an empty or full calibration, the tank must contain its normal vapour and be at its normal temperature. 5. This seal is not supplied by Siemens.
