Introduction
The Echomax XPS/XCT series of transducers operate with
Siemens Milltronics ultrasonic level monitoring products.
The transducer converts the electrical transmit pulse from
the transceiver into acoustical energy. It then converts the
acoustical energy of the echo back into electrical energy
for the controller.
The transducer face emits acoustical energy radiating
outward, decreasing in amplitude at a rate inversely
proportional to the square of the distance. Maximum
power radiates perpendicularly from the transducer face
on the axis of transmission. Where power is reduced by
half (– 3 dB), a conical boundary centered around the axis
of transmission defines the sound beam, the diameter of
which is the beam angle.
The XPS/XCT transducers have an integrated temperature sensor that reports the air
temperature at the transducer to the controller.

Mounting
• Mount the transducer so that it is above the maximum material level by at least the
blanking value. Refer to the associated controller manual.
• On liquid applications, mount the transducer face parallel to the liquid surface. On
solids applications, use a Siemens Milltronics Easy Aimer to help aim the
transducer.
• Do not overtighten. Most applications require only hand tightening of the mounting
hardware. Connect a safety chain from the transducer to a structural member to
secure installation. Consider using the optional temperature sensor when a flanged
transducer is used, when a fast temperature response is required, or in high
temperature vessels.
Mounting – Solids Applications
WARNING: Special handling precautions must be taken to protect the
face of the transducer from any damage.
Note: For pressure tight applications, install transducers hand tight plus ½ turn to 1½ turns.
PTFE tape or other appropriate sealant may be used to aid in sealing the threads for use in
pressure applications.
WARNING: Improper installation may result in loss of process pressure.

ingress of moisture.
• Do not run cable near high voltage or current runs, contactors, and SCR control
drives. For pressure tight applications, install transducers hand tight plus ½ to 1½
turns.
• PTFE tape or other appropriate sealant may be used to aid in sealing the threads for
use in pressure applications.
Note: Installation shall only be performed by qualified personnel and in accordance with
local governing regulations.

Indledning
Transducerne i serien Echomax XPS/XCT fungerer med
Siemens Milltronics ultralydsniveauovervågningsprodukter.
Transduceren omdanner den elektriske sendeimpuls fra
transceiveren til akustisk energi. Derefter omdanner den
ekkoets akustiske energi tilbage til elektrisk energi til
kontrolenheden.
Transduceroverfladen udsender akustisk energi, der udbreder
sig med en amplitude, der falder omvendt proportionalt til
kvadraten af afstanden. Den udbredte effekt er maksimal
vinkelret på transduceroverfladen langs transmissionsaksen.
Lydstrålen, hvis diameter betegnes strålevinklen, defineres som
en kegle centreret omkring transmissionsaksen, med en
grænse svarende til en reduktion af effekten til
