1. Before You Begin
This guide provides basic guidelines to assist you in quickly getting started. Go to our website to download the
full User Guide for detailed installation, maintenance, troubleshooting and safety precautions.
The user must take note of the safety instructions in this operating instructions manual, the country
specic installation standards as well as all prevailing safety regulations and accident prevention rules.
The instrument must only be operated in a technically awless and reliable condition. The operator is
responsible for trouble-free operation of the instrument. During the entire duration of use, the user is
obliged to determine the compliance of the required occupational safety measures with the current valid
rules and regulations and also take note of new regulations.

A minimum distance of 0.65 ft must be maintained between the device and vessel wall, when mounting the
device.
1. Reference Plane
2. Centre of Vessel or Symmetrical Axis
The best mounting position for a conical vessel with at top is the centre of its top, as the eective measure-
ment can reach the bottom of the vessel.

1 Incorrect: Device’s Antenna is not perpendicular to the surface of the target medium
2 Incorrect: Device’s Antenna is mounted in the centre of concave or arched vessel tops, resulting in multiple
echoes.
3 Correct Installations
1 Incorrect: Device is mounted directly above the lling stream. This results in a measurement of the lling
stream, and not the target medium

Moisture
In order to avoid Moisture under humid outdoor/indoor conditions, or instruments mounted on cooling/heat-
ing vessels, the seal rings used on cables should be screwed tight. The cable must also be bent downward
outside the cable entry, as shown on the diagram below:
Socket
The antenna’s end must protrude at least 0.4 ft out of socket.

Technology Solutions

In case of strong reective properties of target medium (Fig 1) and big socket diameter, you can mount instru-
ments on sockets higher than the antenna length. The recommended values for socket heights are shown in the
illustration below. The socket end should be smooth and burr-free, if possible also rounded. Moreover, false
echo storage must be carried out afterwards. On the contrary, if the reective properties of medium are weak
(Fig 2), you are advised to heighten the mounting position of instruments and also use a standpipe (optional) to
reduce the inuence caused by socket.
If there are agitators in vessels, instrument must be mounted as far away from agitators as possible. Once
installation completed, a false echo storage should be carried out while agitators in motion to eliminate
negative inuence caused by false echo of agitators. You are advised to opt for installation with standpipe if
foam or wave is generated due to the action of agitators.

Installation with Standpipe
2-Wire
1 Vent hole of diameter (0.19" to 0.39")
You are advised to opt for installation with standpipe (or bypass tube) to avoid the inuence on measurement
caused by barriers inside vessels, foam generation or air vortex. If the measurement is undertaken by
Tek-Sound 4200B inside the standpipe the inner diameter of standpipe should be at least bigger than the
outside diameter of transducer. Please see Dimensional Drawings for actual sizes. Avoid large cracks or welding
seam when connecting standpipe. False echo storage must be carried out as well in this case.
