• Configuration can be saved as XML file or as a jpg


3DLevelScanner Parts – Terminology

· The 3DLevelScannr is divided into two parts· Transducers case:

· Three Antennas, sealed with a customized tin foil· 52mm (2.04”) thread to fasten the scanner to a

flange and a fastening nut· Temperature sensor· Sealing rubber ring· Orientation indications

· Scanner’s Head:· Contains the electronic board (EC)· One gland and one blind gland· Grounding screw· Fastening screw to the transducers


Measurement Characteristics

· Frequency: 2.6 - 7 KHz (4.5kHz default)· Beam angle: 30° - 110° (70° default)· Accuracy (vertical): 15 mm (0.6 ”)· Measuring range: 0.5 - 70 m (1.6’-230’)· Dead zone: 50 cm (20”) from flange· Temperature Accuracy: 0.5°C (0.5°F)


Environment and Certifications

· Process temperature: -40° – 85°C (-40 – 185 °F)· Process pressure: -0.2 – 3 bar· Protection: IP 67· ATEX II 1/2D, 2G (Head-zone 21, Antenna-zone 20)· FM CL I,II Div I GP CDEFG· CE EMC EN61326· CE Safety IEC EN61010-1· FCC 47CFR part 15 subpart B· ISO 9001 2000


Interfaces

· Power supply: 20-36 VDC· Nominal power supply: 24 VDC· Max current consumption: 120mA, 3W· Interfaces: 4-20mA (PLC - Passive) / HART

RS-485 / ModBusGSM (CSD), GPRSTCP/IP

· Baud Rate: RS-485 – 115200 bpsHART – 1200 bps

· RS-485 max distance: < 1000m (3280’)· Max number of devices: 64 (single RS-485 bus)


Dimensions


Wiring the 3DLevelScanner· RS485 cable – Twisted pair,

Shielded, 120Ohm impedance

· RS-485 requires 120Ohm Resistors in both ends of the daisy-chain

· 4-20mA – Passive PLC· 24 VDC Power Supply


Wiring the 3DLevelScanner

· Single scanner with a 3DLinkPro and HART


Recommended Tools

· The site application documents (IPF, AAF), and Silo drawings· Set of small precision screwdrivers (for the terminal blocks)· 13mm open wrench· 4mm Allen Key (preferably with a handle)· Large adjustable wrench 18”· Stanley knife, Cutter, Pointed pliers, Insulating tape· Laser measurement device (or other means to ensure correct

positioning and distance to the material)· RS485 to USB converter, including drivers· 120Ohm and 250Ohm resistors· PC/Laptop


Positioning Guidelines

Important guidelines:• Not close to the filling point and not too far• Clear vision to peak of material at maximum level• Flange to be horizontal (scanner at 90° to the ground)• At least 10 mm (0.4”) gap between the socket’s bottom (or any

other obstacle) and the antenna's bottom


Positioning Guidelines (cont.)

Orientation:· The mounting direction is indicated by a tendon on the transducers

enclosure and a notch on the top of the thread fastening the flange· The 0º should point to the center of the vessel (including square

vessels and open bins)


· The Transducer case must fit the hole in the silo, if not another solution can be found with neck extension or by lowering the scanner inside the silo

· The widest part of the scanner is the transducers case: 193.3 mm (7.61”)

· Insert the flange onto the neck tube· Screw the nut to the neck thread and tight using an

18” adjustable wrench· Note: The diameter of the hole in the flange center

is 52 mm (2.1”)

Mounting the 3DLevelScanner


Mounting the 3DLevelScanner

· Flanges’ thickness is 6.5mm (0.25”)


· The Neck extension is available in three sizes:· 20cm = 8inches· 30cm = 12inches· 50cm = 20inches

· The neck extension must be purchased with a compatible scanner, an adjusted antennas cable is manufactured with the scanner and compatible with the require neck extension

Neck Extension


· The Head-Body Separation kit is available in three size :· 1m = 3ft· 2.5m = 8ft· 10m = 33ft

Head-Body separation


· Application Approval Form (AAF)· Provides background information and important

data regarding a required application· Go / No-Go – Simplify the approving procedure of

new applications· Provides basic understanding of customer’s

expectations from the 3DLevelScanner· Helps in deciding which product best fit the

application (S / M / MV / MVL)· To better understand the application, it is

recommended to request a detailed silo drawing

Documentations - AAF


· Installation Preparation Form (IPF)· Provides all required data to prepare the site and

to configure the scanner· To be filled after application approval Form (AAF)· Main Objective – Maximum information before

shipping & installing the 3DLevelScanner· This form must be accompanied with detailed

drawing of the vessel

Documentations - IPF


· Startup Guidelines (SG)· Provides an overview of all required subjects that

need to be observed by the installer· To be filled with all important additional

information that is not covered by the IPF

Documentations – Startup Guidelines
