4.3 Installation, commissioning and operation

1. Wear proper personal protection equipment such as hard hat,

safety shoes, flame resistant clothing, safety glasses, gloves, and
hearing protection.

2. Follow the specifications given in the technical documentation.
3. Two (2) individuals are recommended to conduct proper installati-

on, commissioning, and repair of the level transmitter.

4. Ensure the equipment used in a hazardous environment is selected

and installed in compliance with regulations governing the geogra-
phical installation and facility. Only install equipment that complies
with the types of protection relevant to the applicable classes,
division, zones, category, gas group, and temperature code.

5. Protect the sensor against mechanical damage during installation

and operation.

6. Do not use damaged products and secure them against unintentio-

nal use. Mark damaged products as being defective.

7. Connect the sensor very carefully and pay attention to the polarity

terminal block connection which could short and cause a problem.

11. Make sure that no wire strands, including shield, are in contact

with the electronic module enclosure.

5. Product overview

The Level Plus

SoClean

Liquid-Level transmitter is a continuous

multi-functional magnetostrictive transmitter that provides product
level, interface level, and temperature to the user via Modbus, DDA,
Analog (4-20 mA), or HART

. Magnetostrictive technology is one of

the most accurate and repeatable level technologies available to date.
