An isolation kit is provided with each transducer to min-

imise any ringing transmitted through the mounting struc

ture.

The transducer must be mounted perpendicular to the

monitored surface and, ideally, at least 0.5 metres above

i

t

.

The transducer has a 10 inclusive conical beam angle

at 3dB and must be mounted with a clear unobstructed

sight of the liquid to be measured over the complete

measurement range.

The transducer is provided with integral cable which can

be extended up to 300 metres using a suitable junction

box and RG62AU cable. The temperature compensated

transducer requires an additional single core screen

extension.

The extended cable should then be terminated directly

into the instrument.

Transducer cables and temperature compensation

cables can be run together but should be separated from

power cables by at least 150mm and preferably installed

in their own earthed steel conduit.
