The Echomax XRS-5 series of transducers operate with
Siemens Milltronics ultrasonic level monitoring products.
The transducer converts the electrical energy of the 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 that radiates
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 XRS-5 series transducers have an integrated temperature sensor that reports the air
temperature at the transducer to the controller.

General Guidelines
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 equipment may be used in all hazardous zones with all gases with temperature classes T1,
T2, T3, T4, T5, and T6. The equipment is only certified for use in ambient temperatures in the
range of -20 °C to 65 °C and should not be used outside this range.
•Installation shall be carried out in accordance with the applicable code of practice by
suitably trained personnel.
•The apparatus shall only be supplied from a circuit containing a suitably-rated fuse having
a breaking capacity of 4000A. This fuse is included in Milltronics transceivers.
•Repair of this equipment shall be carried out in accordance with the applicable code of
practice.
•The certification of this equipment relies on the following materials used in its
construction:
• 365 m (1200 ft) using 2-wire
twisted pair/braided and foil
shielded 20 AWG (0.5mm
jacket (EnviroRanger ERS 500,
MultiRanger 100/200, and
HydroRanger 200 only)
• Factory flanged to suit ANSI,
DIN, or JIS standard
• Split flange (field mount) to suit
ANSI, DIN, or JIS standard
• Submergence shield (flooding
applications)

Mounting
flexibl
•Mount the transducer so that it is above the maximum material level by more than the
blanking value for accurate results. Refer to the associated transceiver manual for
information on setting the blanking value.
•The transducer must be mounted so that the axis of transmission is perpendicular to the
liquid’s surface.
•Do not over tighten mounting. Hand tightening of the mounting hardware is sufficient.
•Consider the optional temperature sensor when mounting the transducer.

Caution: Over-tightening can cause performance degradation.
Interconnection
Note: Installation shall only be performed by qualified personnel and in accordance with
local governing regulations.
Recommended installation rules:
•Do not route cable openly; instead, run cable separately in a grounded metal conduit to
protect it from ambient electrical noise.
•Seal all thread connections to prevent the ingress of moisture.
•Do not run cable near high voltage or current runs, contactors or SCR control drives.
In all of the following examples the terminal blocks on the transceiver are described in the
controller manual.

Coaxial Connection
Connect the transducer to the Siemens Milltronics transceiver via a junction box and RG–62 A/
