Installation:
Antistatic precautions must be observed when handling these sensors. The PCB contains circuitry that can be damaged
by static discharge.
1.
Ensure the LS-MC has a clear uninterrupted path between the transducer face and lowest fluid level.
2.
Mount the LS-MC away from filling points, walls and ladders with its face horizontal.
3.
Mount the LS-MC at least 0.3 metres above the highest liquid level and 0.88 metres away from walls.
4.
Do not over tighten the fixing nut, only tighten by hand. Use the hexagon nut, not the housing.
5.
Keep the LS-MC away from high voltage/current devices and variable speed drives.
6.
Shield
the
LS-MC
from
direct
sunlight.
7.
If used with a liquid where foaming could occur, locate the LS-MC over an area of clear liquid. Failure to comply will result in a
reduced size of the return echo, thus
an
incorrect
reading.
8.
Applications where heavy condensation is likely on the instrument face should be avoided.
9.
The LS-MC is not suitable for use in
a
hazardous
area.
10.
The electrical connections are Red = 24-36Vdc supply, and Blue 4-20mA output.
