3.2 Principle of operation
OPTISOUND 3020 C is an ultrasonic sensor for continuous level
measurement. It is suitable for liquids and solids in virtually all indus-
tries, particularly in the water and waste water industry.
The transducer of the ultrasonic sensor transmits short ultrasonic
pulses to the measured product. These pulses are reflected by
product surface and received back by the transducer as echoes.
The running time of the ultrasonic pulses from emission to reception
is proportional to the distance and hence the level. The determined
level is converted into an appropriate output signal and outputted as
measured value.
4 … 20 mA two-wire electronics for voltage supply and measured
value transmission on the same cable.
The voltage supply range can differ depending on the instrument
version. You can find the data for voltage supply in chapter "
Technical
data
".
The backlight of the display and adjustment module is powered by
the sensor. The prerequisite for this is a supply voltage at a certain
level. The exact voltage specifications are stated in chapter "
Technical
data
".
3.3 Packaging, transport and storage
Your instrument was protected by packaging during transport. Its
capacity to handle normal loads during transport is assured by a test
based on ISO 4180.
The packaging of standard instruments consists of environment-
friendly, recyclable cardboard. For special versions, PE foam or PE
foil is also used. Dispose of the packaging material via specialised
recycling companies.
Transport must be carried out in due consideration of the notes on the
transport packaging. Nonobservance of these instructions can cause
damage to the device.
The delivery must be checked for completeness and possible transit
damage immediately at receipt. Ascertained transit damage or con-
cealed defects must be appropriately dealt with.
Up to the time of installation, the packages must be left closed and
stored according to the orientation and storage markings on the
outside.
Unless otherwise indicated, the packages must be stored only under
the following conditions:
