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.

General Guidelines

XPS/XCT Series – Certificate SIRA 99ATEX5153X

This equipment may be used in hazardous areas associated with all gases with temperature

classes T1, T2, T3 and T4 for the XPS series (XPS-10, XPS-15, XPS-30, and XPS-40) and T1, T2,

and T3 for the XCT series (XCT-8 and XCT-12). The XPS series is only certified for use in

ambient temperatures in the range of - 40 °C to 95 °C and the XCT series is only certified for

use in ambient temperatures in the range of -40 °C to 145 °C. Neither should be used outside of

their respective temperature ranges.

Installation shall be carried out in accordance with the applicable code of practice, and by

suitably trained personnel.

These devices should only be supplied from a circuit containing a suitably-rated fuse that has a

breaking capacity of 4000A. This fuse is included in Siemens Milltronics controllers.

Repair of this equipment shall be carried out in accordance with the applicable code of

practice.

WARNING: Materials of construction are chosen based on their chemical

compatibility (or inertness) for general purposes. For exposure to specific

environments, check with chemical compatibility charts before installing.

The certification of this equipment relies on the following materials used in their construction:

For manual override, use the disconnect switch provided in the building installation of the

associated controller.

XPS 30/40 Series – Certificate SIRA 01ATEX5153X

This equipment may be used in hazardous dust zones with all conductive and non-conductive

dusts. The XPS-30 and XPS-40 type series transducers have a maximum surface temperature

of 135 °C (275 °F) (Temperature Class T4). These units are certified for use in ambient range of

-40 to 95 °C (-40 to 203 °F). The transducers should not be used outside this temperature range.

The XPS-30 and XPS-40 ultrasonic transducers must be installed so the face of the transducer

is not substantially subjected to light.

Installation shall be carried out in accordance with the applicable code of practice, and by

suitably trained personnel. Repair of the equipment shall be carried out in accordance with the

applicable code of practice and installation instructions.

These devices should only be supplied from a circuit containing a suitably rated fuse that has a

breaking capacity of 4000A. This fuse is included in Siemens Milltronics controllers.

The certification of this equipment relies on the following materials used in their construction:

For manual override, use the disconnect switch provided in the building installation of the

associated controller.

Outline and Dimensions

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.

WARNING: Optional Split Flange, Bonded Flange, and Easy Aimer configurations

are not suitable for pressure 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.

Mounting – Liquid Applications (cont’d)

Installation

• Do not route cable openly. For optimum isolation against electrical noise, run cable

separately in a grounded metal conduit. Seal all thread connections to prevent 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.

WARNING: Never attempt to loosen, remove, or disassemble process connection

while vessel contents are under pressure.
