3.2 Principle of operation
LEVEL TRANSMITTER 8185 is a level sensor with cable or
rod probe for continuous level measurement.
It is designed for industrial use in all areas of process
technology and can be used in liquids but is also good for
solids.
High frequency microwave pulses are guided along a steel
rope or a rod. When reaching the product surface, the
microwave pulses are reflected. The running time is evaluated
by the instrument and outputted as distance.
Two-wire electronics 4 ... 20 mA/HART for power supply and
measured value transmission over the same cable.
The supply voltage range can differ depending on the
instrument version.
The data for power supply are stated in chapter "Technical
data" in the "Supplement".
3.3 Operation
LEVEL TRANSMITTER 8185 can be adjusted with different
adjustment media:
with indicating and adjustment module
l
a HART handheld
l
The entered parameters are generally saved in LEVEL
TRANSMITTER 8185, optionally also in the indicating/adjust-
ment module.
3.4 Storage and transport
Your instrument was protected by packaging during transport.
Its capacity to handle normal loads during transport is assured
by a test according to DIN EN 24180.
The packaging of standard instruments consists of environ-
ment-friendly, recyclable cardboard. For special versions, PE
foam or PE foil is also used. Dispose of the packaging material
via specialised recycling companies.
