36510-EN-120301

The antenna of the radar sensor emits short radar pulses with a
duration of approx.1ns.These pulses are reflected by the product
and received by the antenna as echoes.The running time of the radar
pulses from emission to reception is proportional to the distance and
hence to the level.The determined level is converted into an
appropriate output signal and outputted as measured value.

4Mounting
4.1General instructions
With instruments with threaded process fitting,suitable tools must be
applied for tightening the hexagon.
Warning:
The housing must not be used to screw the instrument in!Applying
tightening force can damage internal parts of the housing.
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.
Make sure that all parts of the instrument exposed to the process,in
particular the active measuring component,process seal and process
fitting,are suitable for the existing process conditions.These include
above all the process pressure,process temperature as well as the
chemical properties of the medium.
You can find the specifications in chapter "Technical data"and on the
type label.
4.2Instructions for installation
By using the standpipe version,the influence of turbulence and vessel
installations,such as e.g.heating spirals or agitators,is excluded.If
turbulence or vigorous product movement occurs in the vessel,long
standpipe antennas should be fastened to the vessel wall.
The standpipe antenna must extend all the way down to the requested
min.level,as measurement is only possible within the tube.If a good
mixing of the product is important,you should use a version with
perforated surge pipe.
Warning:
Remember that with the version with ¾" thread,a max.torque of
80 Nm(59 lbf ft)must not be exceeded.

5Connecting to the bus system
5.1Preparing the connection
Always keep in mind the following safety instructions:
lConnect only in the complete absence of line voltage
lIf voltage surges are expected,install overvoltage arresters
The instrument requires a operating voltage of 9…32 V DC.
Operating voltage and the digital bus signal are carried on the same
two-wire connection cable.Power is supplied via the H1power supply.
Connection is carried out with screened cable according to Fieldbus
specification.
Use cable with round cross-section.Acable outer diameter of 5…9mm
(0.2…0.35 in)ensures the seal effect of the cable gland.If you are
using cable with a different diameter or cross-section,exchange the
seal or use a suitable cable gland.
Make sure that the entire installation is carried out according to the
Fieldbus specification.In particular,make sure that the bus is
terminated with suitable terminating resistors.
With plastic housing,the NPT cable gland or the Conduit steel tube
must be screwed without grease into the threaded insert.
Max.torque for all housings see chapter "Technical data"
Make sure that the cable screening and ground is executed according
to the Fielbus specification.If electromagnetic interference is expected
which is above the test values of EN 61326-1for industrial areas,we
recommend to connect the cable screen on both ends to ground
potential.
In this case with systems with potential equalisation,connect the cable
screen directly to ground potential at the power supply unit,in the
connection box and at the sensor.The screen in the sensor must be
connected directly to the internal ground terminal.The ground terminal
outside on the housing must be connected to the potential equalisation
(low impedance).
In systems without potential equalisation with cable screening on both
sides,connect the cable screen directly to ground potential at the
power supply unit and at the sensor.In the connection box or T-
distributor,the screen of the short stub to the sensor must not be
connected to ground potential or to another cable screen.The cable
screens to the power supply unit and to the next distributor must be
connected to each other and also connected to ground potential via a
ceramic capacitor (e.g.1nF,1500 V). Low-frequency potential
equalisation currents are thus suppressed,but the protective effect
against high frequency interference signals remains.
