suring two liquids and is calculated by subtracting the volume of the
product from the total volume of liquid in the tank (GOVT – GOVP).
GOVP
‘Gross Observed Volume of the Product’ – The total volume of the tank
occupied by the product liquid. When measuring only one liquid, it is
also the total volume of liquid in the tank (GOVT). When measuring two
liquids it is the total volume of liquid in the tank minus the volume of
the interface liquid (GOVT – GOVI).
GOVT
‘Total Gross Observed Volume’ – The total volume of liquid in the tank.
When measuring only one liquid it is equal to the volume of the product
(GOVP). When measuring two liquids it is equal to the volume of the

perature for an object with the change in its volume. Allowable values
are 270.0 to 930.0. TEC units are in 10 E-6/Deg F.

3. Introduction
3.1 Purpose and use of this manual
The content of this technical documentation and of its various
annexes is intended to provide information on mounting, installation
and commissioning by qualified service personnel according to IEC
60079-14 and local regulations or MTS trained service technicians.
3.2 Used symbols and warnings
Warnings are intended for your personal safety and for avoidance
of damage to the described product or connected devices. In this
documentation, safety information and warnings to avoid dangers that
might affect the life and health of personnel or cause material damage
are highlighted by the preceding pictogram, which is defined below.
4. Safety instructions
4.1 Intended use
The liquid level transmitter is intended to be used to measure the level
of liquid(s) contained by a structure as well as the temperature of the
liquid. The product may only be used for the applications defined
under item 1 to item 4 below and only in conjunction with third-party
devices and components recommended or approved by MTS Sensors.
As a prerequisite of proper and safe operation, the product requires
correct transport, storage, mounting and commissioning and must be
operated with utmost care.
1. Application does not exceed product’s performance specification in
section 5.6.
2. Product may only be installed in hazardous areas as specified by
approval certifications in section 12 following special conditions of
safe use outlined in section 12 or in safe areas.
3. The liquid(s) being measured are compatible with the selected
wetted parts of the product.
4. MTS floats should be used for proper functionality and safety

Level Plus®SoClean®
Operation Manual
Internal electronics
All transmitters come with two electronic components of a sensing
element and a board set. Rigid sensing elements are standard on
SoClean®. Flexible sensing elements are available upon request. The
board set consists of up to three electronic boards and a display. The
display is capable of displaying the product level, interface level, and
temperature. Designed into the display are five buttons for local setup of
level transmitter using the stylus.
A temperature sensing function is optional with the SoClean®
transmitter. The temperature sensing device is a Digital Thermometer
mounted inside the transmitter’s outer pipe assembly. The SoClean®can
be ordered with 1, 5, 12, or 16 temperature points.
Accessories
MTS also offers a series of displays, housings, converters, and other
accessories, please refer to the ‘Accessories Catalog’, MTS part number
551103.
5.2 Accuracy
For magnetostrictive transmitters inherent accuracy is measured
in terms of non-linearity. Non-linearity is a measurement of any
imperfections in the waveguide that are reflected in the linearity of the
transmitter’s output. MTS tolerances reflect a maximum non-linearity of
± 1mm. MTS is able to achieve such strict tolerances by manufacturing
all of its own waveguide from a proprietary alloy and testing 100% of all
transmitters before shipping.
5.3 Warranty
All Level Plus®transmitters come with a two year limited warranty from
the factory shipment date. A Return Materials Authorization (RMA)
number is required and must accompany any transmitter returns. Any
unit that was used in a process must be properly cleaned in accordance
with OSHA standards, before it is returned to the factory. A Material
Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) must also accompany the transmitter that was
used in any process.
5.4 Storage
If storage is required prior to installation, store indoors in a dry environ-
ment at ambient temperature range not to exceed -40°C (-40°F) to 71°C
(160°F).
Important:
Contact Technical Support or Customer Service for assistance if you
suspect that the transmitter is not working correctly. Technical support
can assist you with troubleshooting, part replacement, and Returned
Material Authorization (RMA) information if required.
Floats
SoClean®transmitters offer numerous floats for different applications
such as stainless steel, 3-A sanitary, hastelloy, Teflon, and Nitrophyl for
both product level and interface level. To be able to accurately detect
the interface level there needs to be a difference of at least 0.05 in
specific gravities between the product and interface liquids. For detailed
information about floats, refer to the ‘Accessories Catalog’, MTS part
number 551103.
For assistance with selecting a specific float for your application, please
contact Technical Support with the following information:
»Specific gravity of liquid(s) being measured
»Process temperature
»Process opening size
»Vessel pressure
For ATEX and IECEx approvals, SoClean®transmitters should be used
with a float having an offset weight and made of stainless steel or Has-
telloy C. This allows the float to stay in contact with the pipe to prevent
the buildup of an electrostatic charge. For detailed information about
floats, refer to the ‘Accessories Catalog’, MTS part number 551103.
Non-metalic floats with a projected surface area of less than 5,000 mm²
should only be used in Zone 0, Gas group IIA such as float part numbers
201643-2, 201649-2, 201650-2, 201109, 251115 and 251116. All
other non-metallic floats offered by MTS such as, 251939, 251119 and
251120 should not be used in a hazardous area application.
Outer pipe congurations
The outer pipe is constructed of a variety of configurations. The
SoClean®is available in a sanitary pipe. For other pipe options please
consult other MTS options such as RefineMe®, Tank Slayer®, and/or
USTDII.
