About the Transducer The Echomax XRS-5 transducer works with Milltronics transceivers and provides the ultrasonic pulse and echo reception that these devices require. The transducer converts electrical pulses transducer provided by the transceiver to ultrasonic pulses used for measurement and then converts the ultrasonic echoes back to an electrical signal.

Note: Tighten the flange bolts evenly in order to ensure a good seal between the mating flanges. Caution: Over tightening can cause performance degradation. Page 12 XRS-5 Transducer PL-590...
Refer to OCM manufacturer specification for proper point of head measurement. The OCM III requires the use of the TS-2 external temperature sensor instead of the XRS-5 internal temperature sensor. The use of an external temperature sensor provides better temperature tracking in applications where the temperature can change quickly.
Standpipes and Stilling Wells In many applications, access must be made via a standpipe. In such cases, Milltronics can provide factory flanged transducers or split flange kit that will readily mate to the flanged standpipe. Another option is to hang the transducer from a blind flange.
Transducer Placement The following graphic shows the best placement of the XRS-5 transducer. ‘A’ ‘B’ ‘C’ Maintain full fluid level for full or offset calibration. Do not allow material to enter blanking zone. span: beam distance between angle Empty and Full...

Beam should not detect bin bottom. If this occurs, use range extension parameters (on transceivers where available) to omit false echoes. The XRS-5 transducer operates with a beam angle of 10° and has a rise:run ratio of approximately 12:1. This means that for every 1m (3.3’) of tank height, the transducer projects a...
In all of the following examples the terminal blocks on the transceiver are described in the transceiver manual. Direct Connection Connect the transducer directly to the Milltronics transceiver via the 2 conductor shielded cable. drain / shield Note: When connecting to an EnviroRanger ERS 500, the white, black, and shield wires are all connected separately.
Coaxial Connection Connect the transducer to the Milltronics transceiver via a junction box and RG–62 A/U coaxial cable. This setup is effective for combined runs up to 365m (1200’). extend cable using RG – 62 A/U coax Note: When connecting to an EnviroRanger ERS 500, do NOT use coaxial cable, see diagram below for proper procedure.
