Example 1 - Level Measurement

Material Level

This is the most common application of the SITRANS LU01 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.
