3System Description
3.1 Measuring Principle
The detectors of the DuoSeries are used in industrial measuring systems for meas-
uring the level, density or mass flow in different installation situations. In addition
to the detectors of DuoSeries, additional system components such as transmitters,
radioactive sources and shieldings are required for a complete measuring system.
Usage of these system components is not subject of this operating manual. Please
refer to the individual manuals of the respective system components.
The detectors of the DuoSeries supply measurement signals for further processing
and visualisation of LB 47x or LB 44x transmitters. Each detector is connected to
either an LB 47x/44x transmitter or a 47x slave module.
