Application planning The following section discusses a few practical considerations when planning an installation. 2.1 Circular clarifiers Circular clarifiers are very common and can come with rotating or static bridges over them. 2.1.1 Rotating bridge If the transducer is mounted on a rotating bridge then it should be positioned on the leading edge of the bridge, see Figure (2). This places it ahead

AB February 2012 MSL600 2.1.2 Static bridge The transducer mounting arrangement is designed to lift out of the water if it is mounted on a fixed bridge when a moving scraper passes underneath (e.g. on a picket fence thickener). Ideally, the transducer should be mounted 1/3 to 2/3 of the way along from the outer (wall) edge of the settlement tank (i.e. 1/3 to 2/3 of the radius from the inside of the tank wall). If the transducer is

Installation The following section discusses installation considerations in more detail. 3.1 Preliminary checks Carefully unpack the MSL600 control unit, transducer, and mounting bracket arrangement from their packaging. Check that there is no visible damage to any of the packed parts, paying particular attention to the transducer and transducer cables, and the membrane keypad and display area on the MS

Adjust the clamping bracket up or down the main support tube to dimension B so it will be just clear of the final clamping position. If the clamp is higher than the pivot tube this will need to be removed and reassembled in reverse or

The lower section of the housing is for cable connections and the upper part has the LCD and keypad controls. It is not necessary, or advisable, to remove the lid of the upper part of the enclosure. There are no user serviceable parts inside. All field wiring connections are accessible by removing the lower lid, which is secu
