Main (electronic) control unit: If required, this component can be optionally wall mounted, using a wall-mount plate, or panel mounted. To ensure proper operation, the unit must be installed up to 200 m (656 ft) from the sensor and 100m (328 ft) for EX sensors. Sensor and data cable: The sensor is supplied with the data cable attached. See description of available cable lengths in Page 16. SmartScan is a non-contact, ultrasonic, continuous-level measurement instrument that is able to provide accurate measurements for both liquids and solids, while automatically compensating for changes in temperature and other environmental conditions. SmartScan is designed for applications such as process tanks, storage vessels, open air piles, open channels, and so on. SmartScan is a four-wire, low-voltage device, and is available with a customized graphic LCD display. SmartScan has two major components, the main control unit and the sensor (connected via a cable). The installation procedure and wiring connections for these components are described in Chapter 2, Installing SmartScan .
