fulfilled.This applies also to the corresponding indicating and
adjustment components.
The parameter adjustment of the basic sensor functions is independ-
ent of the software version.The range of available functions depends
on the respective software version of the individual components.
The software version of LEVEL TRANSMITTER 8177 can be
determined as follows:
lon the type label of the electronics
lvia the indicating and adjustment module
2.8Safety instructions for Ex areas
Please note the Ex-specific safety information for installation and
operation in Ex areas.These safety instructions are part of the
operating instructions manual and come with the Ex-approved
instruments.

3Product description
32059-EN-081121

The transducer of the ultrasonic sensor transmits short ultrasonic
pulses to the measured product.These pulses are reflected by
product surface and received again 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.
Two-wire electronics 4…20 mA/HART for power supply and
measured value transmission over the same cable.
The supply voltage range can differ depending on the instrument
version.
The data for power supply are specified in chapter "Technical data".
The backlight of the indicating and adjustment module is powered by
the sensor.Prerequisite is a certain level of supply voltage.
The data for power supply are specified in chapter "Technical data".
3.3Operation
LEVEL TRANSMITTER 8177 can be adjusted with different adjust-
ment media:
lwith indicating and adjustment module
lWith a HART handheld
The entered parameters are generally saved in LEVEL TRANS-
MITTER 8177,optionally also in the indicating/adjustment module.
3.4Packaging,transport and storage
Your instrument was protected by packaging during transport.Its
capacity to handle normal loads during transport is assured by a test
according to DIN EN 24180.
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 under 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
concealed defects must be appropriately dealt with.

4Mounting
4.1General instructions
Select an installation position you can easily reach for mounting and
connecting as well as later retrofitting of an indicating and adjustment
module.The housing can be rotated by 330°without the use of any
tools.You can also install the indicating and adjustment module in four
different positions (each displaced by 90°).
Use the recommended cables (see chapter "Connecting to power
supply")and tighten the cable gland.
You can give your instrument additional protection against moisture
penetration by leading the connection cable downward in front of the
cable entry.Rain and condensation water can thus drain off.This
applies mainly to outdoor mounting as well as installation in areas
where high humidity is expected (e.g.through cleaning processes)or
on cooled or heated vessels.
Fig.2:Measures against moisture penetration
The reference plane for the measuring range is the lower edge of the
transducer.
Make sure that a min.distance -the so called dead zone -below the
reference plane is maintained in which a measurement is not possible.
The exact value of the dead zone is stated in chapter "Technical data".
