A.2.2

Special

Storage bin with agitator

①

Agitator

②

Infeed

A - Transducer should be kept away from infeed.

B - Where agitators are in use, use the Agitator Discrimination parameter on

transceivers, where available.

C - Transducer should be aimed away from wall projections.

D - This seal is not supplied by Siemens.

The XPS-15F and XRS-5C transducer comes equipped with a stainless steel coupling suitable

for use in hazardous locations.

Dryer - wood chips

Transducer should be mounted perpendicular to slope of wood chips.
