Power Supply Requirements
The dBi Series Intelligent Transducer operates from a DC supply of 10 to 28V
and will typically draw less than 22mA.
The compact one-piece construction of the dBi Series Intelligent Transducer
can be mounted easily using either the 1″BSP/NPT rear mounting thread or
the integral 1.5" or 2" BSP/ NPT, nose thread, dependent on model.
When choosing a location to mount the dBi Series Intelligent Transducer,
bear in mind the following:
•
The ultrasonic signal path should be free of falling material and
obstructions such as pipes, beams etc.
•
The dBi 3 should be mounted at least 12.5cm (0.41 feet) above the
maximum level of the material and be perpendicular to the surface.
While the dBi 6 and 10 should be mounted at least 30cm (0.98 feet)
above the maximum level of the material and be perpendicular to the
surface. And the dBi 15 should be mounted at least 50cm (1.64 feet)
above the maximum level of the material and again should be
perpendicular to the surface.
• The ambient temperature is between -40ºC and 80ºC.
•
There should be no high voltage cables or electrical inverter wiring near
the transducer cabling.
Important Notice
All shipping cartons should be opened carefully. When using a box
cutter, do not plunge the blade deeply into the box, as it could potentially
cut or scratch equipment components. Carefully remove equipment from
each carton, checking it against the packing list before discarding any
packing material. If there is any shortage or obvious shipping damage to
the equipment, report it immediately to Pulsar Measurement.
Important Notice
All electronic products are susceptible to electrostatic shock, so follow
proper grounding procedures during installation.
