3DLevelScanner Changing the market from level to volume Technical Data Sheet APM`s 3DLevelScanner™ incorporates advanced technology for accurately measuring bulk solids and powder stored in silos and open bins of all types. 1

Overview Theory Of Operation The APM 3DLevelScanner is the only device presently available that delivers accurate measurement of bulk solids and powders - regardless of the type of material or product characteristics, type and size of storage silo, bin or container, and harshness of the storage environment. The 3DLevelScanner employs an array of three antennas to transmit low frequency pulses and to receive echoes of the pulses from the contents of the silo, bin or other container. Using three antennas the unit measures not only the time/distance of each echo but also its direction. The...

3DLevelScanner Electrical Connection General Requirements In hazardous areas you should take note of the appropriate regulations, conformity and type of approval certificates of the sensors and power supply units. When multiple scanners and/or 3DLinkPro are connected with the same power supply, the total power consumption should be taken into account. 4...20 mA/HART 4-wire Power supply and signal current are carried on two separate connection cables. The output signal is active, hence the PLC must be configured passive. Connection Cable RS485 cables should be shielded, twisted pair with 120...
