Outdoor and Open Vessel Installation
The XDS800S/1200S can be simply mounted on a bracket, suitable for the application and secured
using the thread located at the top of the transducer (3/4”NPT, 1” NPT).
Care should be taken to ensure that the XDS800/1200 are not installed in direct sunlight, in order to
avoid errors in the measurement of ambient temperature.
Attention should also be taken, when mounting the unit, to ensure that strong windy conditions are
avoided, wherever possible, to prevent abnormal operation.
Closed Vessel Installation
The XDS800/1200 can be simply screwed into a flange and secured using the thread located at the
top of the transducer (3/4”NPT, 1”NPT).
Where possible use a flange made of a synthetic material such as PVC, to avoid vibration
Place a rubber gasket between the flange and the connection to the vessel to avoid vibration.
Stand Pipe Installation
When mounting the XDS800/1200 to a standpipe care should be taken to ensure that the
standpipe is of sufficient dia with reference to its length, see the table below for details:
When using a standpipe, fixed to the top of a vessel, ensure that the open end of the standpipe is
clear of any obstructions such as weld seams, gaskets etc. in order to avoid unwanted signal
returns.
If using standpipes, which extend into the vessel, beyond the blanking distance, but not as far as
the empty level, then the open end of the standpipe should be cut to an angle of 45
