3.1 Overview
The level measuring device LB 470 is an industrial measuring system for the contactless and continuous determination of the level of a product in a container.
A complete measuring system consists of the following components:
• Evaluation unit DuoXpert LB 470
• Source
• Shields
• Point detector / rod detector(s)
These instructions concern the operation of the evaluation unit DuoXpert LB 470
(Fig. 1, item 6). The operation of other system components is part of the independent instructions of the respective system components.
The EVUs are standard equipment in switch rooms with 19" subracks or switchboards.

Tip
3.2 Measuring Principle
Gamma radiation is used to penetrate a medium in a container. The attenuation
of the radiation is analysed to measure the level in the container.
The evaluation DuoXpert LB 470 (master EVU) is used for the evaluation, transmission and visualisation of measured values which it receives from the connected
detectors.
The EVU is an independent measurement channel. If several measurement channels are required, an independent EVU must be used for each channel.
For covering larger measuring ranges with level measurements, it is possible to
connect multiple detectors on a level measuring device LB 470. To do this, an additional slave module is required (optional) for each additional detector after the
first. A maximum of 16 slave modules can be connected per master EVU. A cascaded
measurement system with a maximum of 17 detectors can be set up in this way.
Further information on the functional principle of the detectors can be found
in the operating manual.

5.1 General Instructions
The installation may only be carried out by a qualified electrician.
Please adhere to the relevant safety regulations.
Open the housing only in a dry environment and for installation, mainte-
nance and servicing.
During installation and servicing on the hardware as well as during wiring
of the detector, the measuring system, connected relay contacts and all inputs and outputs must be de-energised.
Connect only devices onto the product that comply with the applicable
safety standards.
Apply the voltage of the specified and marked range only!
The relay of the LB 470 can only switch low voltages. Please note the specifications in appendix Technical Information.
The power source of 24 V DC version of the product must meet the requirements of the
Low Voltage Directive and be equipped with double or reinforced insulation.
The voltage parameters of all devices connected to the outputs of the product (e.g. relay
circuit, RS-485, current output) must comply with the limit values of the safety directives
for electrical measurement, control, regulation and laboratory devices (DIN EN 61010-1)
and be equipped with double or reinforced insulation.

IMPORTANT
General important points for installation
Connect the earth conductor.
Ground the housing.
Please observe the information signs on the devices.
5.1.1 80BCircuit Breaker
A circuit breaker according to DIN EN 61010-1
• must be available,
• must be easily accessible for the maintenance personnel and
• is to be included in the company-internal documentation.
The master EVUs / slave modules are not equipped with a separate ON/OFF switch
to connect or disconnect the voltage supply. Make sure that the system can be deenergised via the external power supply.
The circuit breaker can be installed as an automatic fuse or switch and has to comply with the requirements according to IEC 947-1 and IEC 947-3. If a fuse is applied,
it must not be triggered under a current strength of 4 A per device.
The circuit breaker must be located near the device and be properly marked as
belonging to it.
5.1.2 81BCables and Lines
Lines are to be connected with special care.
Connection lines and routing must comply with the applicable regulations.
When routing the cables, make sure that the cable insulation cannot be me-
chanically damaged by sharp edges or movable metal parts.
Use the approved BERTHOLD cable or a cable with equivalent specifications
for the connection.
For intrinsically safe systems, the detector must be connected to the equipotential
bonding of the system. The detector is connected via a 2-core (2 x 12) cable with
approx. 5 ... 10 mm diameter. A screened cable can be used in systems with extremely strong electrical noise. The screen may only be laid out on one side of the
detector. The maximum cable length depends on the cable resistance, which may
not exceed a total (there and back) of 40 ohms. For standard cables from
BERTHOLD TECHNOLOGIES (Id. no. 32024), this results in a cable length of 1000m,
from the evaluation unit to the detector. For intrinsically safe systems, the maximum permissible inductance and capacitance of the cable should be considered to
the max. 40 ohm.
56925BA2 Rev. 03, 11/2017
Page 40
5 Electric Installation LB 470 Level

When routing the connection lines, make sure that
no dirt or moisture reaches the connection room,
the conductors are not damaged when the cable insulation is removed,
the conductor insulation or the sleeve of the wire end ferrules reach into the
housing of the terminal unit,
blank, conductive segments of the lines (e.g. wires of a litz wire) do not
reach outside the terminal unit,
the wire end ferrule or the stripped wire have a length of 8 mm so that the
wire is held securely in the clamp,
the line insulation reaches into the sleeve of the wire end ferrule if these
components are used,
the admissible minimum bending radius for the respective line cross-section
is not exceeded and
the cables are laid out in a strain-relieved and friction-free manner.
Only use cables whose diameters are approved for the respective cable
gland. The cables must comply with the requirements and cross-sections specified in the technical data.
The connected cables must be appropriate for temperatures of at least 10°C
above the maximum admissible ambient temperature.
5.1.3 82BCable Glands and Blanking Elements
The feeding of cables into the wall housing is only permitted via a cable en-
try.
Cable glands must be suitable for the respective application.
All cable glands must be assembled according to manufacturer's instructions
and be tightened to the appropriate tightening torque.
Cable glands that are not required for installation must be covered with suit-
able blanking elements.
Line cross-sections must comply with the respectively used cables.
Cable bushings and blanking elements must comply with the applicable IP
protection class and with the requirements for the operational environment.
We recommend ordering missing cable glands, blanking elements or adapt-
ers from BERTHOLD.

If the units are installed in the 19" subrack without terminal board, the electrical
connections are made via clamp blocks. These clamp blocks are already installed in
the 19" subracks and are also available as an optional accessory.
In the case of applications with clamp blocks a contact protection must be provided by the customer when voltage is applied. The cable connections of
clamp blocks have to be in accordance with IEC 61010-1 (2010).
The connection between the master EVU and slave modules is made with a 4-pin
master/slave plug (see chap. 5.6.1).
The LB 470 is restricted pin-compatible with the terminals of the LB 440. The
pins for the power supply, the probe interface and the current output are at
the same position. If only those ports are used, then a LB 440 can be replaced
by a LB 470 without re-wiring.

The selection "GPC" (Gas Properties Compensation) determines the gas density in order to
compensate these for a precise measurements.
Detector of type LB4700 (A LB 4700 detector can
be connected either to the master unit itself or
to a slave module).
Detector of the type LB44xx and LB54xx (no device ID; can capture measurement data only with
master EVU)
By selecting "RS 485 transmitter", other LB 470
master units can be used to perform cascaded
measurements. This way multiple detectors of
different designs can be integrated into a measurement system. Please refer to the instructions
in the following chapters.
With the selection “RS 485 detector” it is possible to connect a specific detector via the RS 485
interface.

Detector settings: Plateau
Device settings | Setup | Sensors | [NAME DETECTOR] | Plateau
The plateau provides information on whether the detector is stable. A plateau
measurement is therefore only carried out when the measured value drifts, or
other doubts exist about the function of the detector. Panel measurement can help
narrow down the possible cause of the problem.
The high voltage necessary for the operation of the photomultipliers is increased
stepwise for the plateau recording and the pulse rate measured after each increase.
The determined plateau curve is displayed on a diagram. The pulse rate increases
with increasing voltage. This must form a unique plateau. If a too short or too steep
plateau is detected, the detector is operating in an unstable manner. The submenu
"Plateau" (Fig. 64) leads to the plateau measuring and the display of plateau values.
Please contact your responsible service or sales partner, or Berthold directly, so that
they can get a qualified assessment to the measured plateau.
