1.2 Intended use
CAUTION!
Responsibility for the use of the measuring devices with regard to suitability, intended use and corrosion resistance of the used materials against the measured fluid lies solely with the operator.
INFORMATION!
The manufacturer is not liable for any damage resulting from improper use or use for other than the intended purpose.
This TDR level transmitter measures distance, level, mass and volume of liquids, pastes, slurries, granulates and powders. It can also measure level and interface of liquids at the same time.
It can be installed on tanks, silos and open pits.

1.3 Certification
DANGER!
For devices used in hazardous areas, additional safety notes apply; please refer to the Ex documentation.
In accordance with the commitment to customer service and safety, the device described in this document meets the following safety requirements:
•Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) Directive 2004/108/EC in conjunction with EN 61326-1 (2013).
All devices are based on the CE marking and meet the requirements of NAMUR Guideline NE 21 and NE 43.
1.4 Electromagnetic compatibility
The device design agrees with European Standard EN 61326-1 when installed in metallic tanks.
You can install the device on open-air tanks and tanks that are not made of metal. Refer also to the note that follows.
CAUTION!
If you install a device with a rod or cable probe in a non-metallic tank or open-air pit, a strong electromagnetic field near to the device can have an unwanted effect on the accuracy. Use a device with a coaxial probe for this type of installation.
INFORMATION!
Device operation agrees with residential-class (class B) emissions and industrial-class for immunity requirements if:
•the device has a single or double probe (rod or cable probe) and is used in a closed tank made of metal or
•the device has a coaxial probe.

2.2 Device description
The TDR level transmitter is designed to measure the distance, level, interface, mass and volume of liquids, pastes, slurries, granulates and powders.
TDR level transmitters use a probe to guide a signal to the surface of the measured product. The device has a large choice of probes. Thus, it can measure most products in difficult conditions. For more data, refer to Technical data on page 127.
The device has a set-up wizard, fully-potted electronic sub-assemblies and online help functions. You usually will not need this document to install, set up and operate the device.
You can order these accessories:
•Stainless steel weather protection.
•RS232 / HART® converter (VIATOR).
•USB / HART® converter (VIATOR).
•ESD protection (30 kV).
•Metaglas® dual process sealing system for dangerous products.
INFORMATION!
For more data on accessories, refer to List of accessories on page 182.

CAUTION!
To avoid measuring errors and device malfunction, obey these precautions.
3.5.1 Pressure and temperature ranges
Figure 3-4: Pressure and temperature ranges
1Process connection temperature
The process connection temperature must stay in the temperature range of the gasket material unless the device is a High-Temperature version. Refer to the table "Temperature ranges for gaskets" that follows and to "Technical data" on page 130.
Ex devices: see supplementary operating instructions
2Ambient temperature for operation of the display
-20...+60°C / -5...+140°F
If the ambient temperature is not between these limits, the display screen switches off automatically
3Ambient temperature
Non-Ex devices: -40...+80°C / -40...+176°F
Ex devices: see supplementary operating instructions
4Process pressure
Refer to the table "Process pressure limits" that follows and "Pressure/temperature table for probe selection" on page 136.
WARNING!
The process connection temperature range must agree with the temperature limits of the gasket material. The operating pressure range is subject to the process connection used and the flange temperature.

3.5.2 General information for nozzles
CAUTION!
Follow these recommendations to make sure that the device measures correctly.
Figure 3-5: Recommended nozzle dimensions for single rod and single cable probes
1Recommended conditions: h ≤ d, where h is the height of the tank nozzle and d is the diameter of the tank nozzle.
2The end of the nozzle must not have an extension into the tank. Do not install the device on a high nozzle.
CAUTION!
If the device is installed on a high nozzle, make sure that the probe does not touch the side of the nozzle (attach the probe end, ...). We recommend that you use a coaxial probe (this solution is applicable only to liquids).
INFORMATION!
It is possible to measure in these conditions with a minimum top dead zone. Use the snapshot function to filter the parasite signals from long nozzles. For more data, refer to How to use the snapshot function to filter parasitic signals on page 96.

CAUTION!
Do not put the process connection near to the product inlet. If the product that enters the tank touches the probe, the device will measure incorrectly.

1The device is in the correct position.
2The device is too near to the product inlet.
3If it is not possible to put the device in the recommended position, install a deflector pipe.
Figure 3-8: How to prevent build-up of product around the process connection
1If product particles are likely to collect in holes, a nozzle is not recommended.
2Attach the flange directly to the tank.
3Use a threaded connection to attach the device directly to the tank.

3.6.2 How to attach probes to the bottom of the tank
If the liquid is agitated or turbulent, you can attach the probe to the bottom of the tank. The procedure to attach the probe depends on the type of probe used.
CAUTION!
Keep the probe straight.
Double rod Ø8 mm / 0.32¨
Figure 3-11: How to attach a double rod probe to keep it straight
• Weld a tube with an internal diameter of 28...30 mm / 1.1...1.2¨ to the bottom of the tank. i Make sure the tube aligns with the process connection at the top of the tank.
•Lower the probe into the tank.
•Put the end of the probe into the tube.
Double cable Ø4 mm / 0.16¨
Figure 3-12: How to attach a double cable probe to keep it straight
The probe counterweight has a hole with an M8 internal thread. You can also select the appropriate options and attach:
1An anchoring rod
2A turnbuckle

4If you chose a chuck to anchor the probe, we recommend that you fit a ferrule (metal sheath - not supplied) at the bottom of the loop to prevent cable wear
The probe counterweight has a hole with an M8 internal thread. The other probe end options are given in the illustration.
CAUTION!
If your device has a chuck, you must make the device recalculate the probe length. For the procedure, refer to How to decrease the length of probes on page 98. If the device does not recalculate the probe length, it is possible that the device will not measure correctly.

3.6.3 Standpipes
Use a standpipe if:
•There is highly conductive foam in the tank.
•The liquid is very turbulent or agitated.
•There are too many other objects in the tank.
•The device is measuring a liquid (petro-chemicals) in a tank with a floating roof.
Figure 3-17: Basic installation recommendations for standpipes (stilling wells and bypass chambers)
1Stilling well
2Bypass chamber
3Air circulation hole
4Level of the liquid
CAUTION!
Installation requirements
•The standpipe must be electrically conductive.
•The standpipe must be straight. There must be no sudden changes in internal diameter greater than 1 mm / 0.04¨.
•The standpipe must be vertical.
•Recommended surface roughness: <±0.1 mm / 0.004¨.
•Stilling well only: The bottom of the stilling well must be open.
•Adjust the probe to the center of the standpipe.
•Make sure that there are no deposits at the bottom of the standpipe.
•Make sure that there is liquid in the standpipe.
INFORMATION!
Standpipes are not necessary for devices with coaxial probes. But if there is a sudden change in diameter in the standpipe, we recommend that you install a device with a coaxial probe.

4Maximum level of the liquid
5Liquid circulation hole
6Distance between holes ≥ 25 mm/1¨ (depends on the minimum layer to be measured)
Installation in tanks containing one liquid and foam
•Drill a pressure equalization hole in the stilling well above the maximum level.
•Deburr the hole.
•If the probe has a counterweight, make sure that there is enough space between the counterweight and the wall of the stilling well.
Installation in tanks containing more than one liquid
•Drill a pressure equalization hole in the stilling well above the maximum level of the top liquid.
•Drill more holes along the length of the stilling well. Distance between holes ≥ 25 mm / 1¨ (depends on the minimum layer to be measured)
i These holes help the liquids to move freely.
•Deburr the holes.
•If the probe has a counterweight, make sure that there is enough space between the counterweight and the wall of the stilling well.
Floating roofs
If the device is for a tank with a floating roof, install it in a stilling well.
