3.3.1 Key Points to X-ray Sensor Installation
Do not mount system on or just after a curve in the transportation conveyor. System must
be at least 1 meter (3 ft.) from nearest conveyor curve or transfer. This gives the product
contents time to settle before fill height measurement.
For accurate measurement, the conveyor flow should be as smooth as possible.
The X-ray tunnel must be level with the conveyor deck.
The floor tripod base must be lag bolted to the floor.
3.3.2 Stand Tube Cutting Procedure
1. Measure the conveyor chain height from the floor to the chain top =
.
2. X-Ray frame tube length is equal to the conveyor height minus 20.3 cm (8 in.).
Pole length = chain top height
– 20.3 cm (8 in.)
