EA 304 aiming device
EA 2 aiming device
The Easy Aimer 304 flange is a stainless steel aiming device for
alignment of Siemens ultrasonic transducers used for level measurement of bulk solids.
The Easy Aimer 2 flange is a cast aluminum aiming device for
alignment of Siemens ultrasonic transducers.
The sensor must be mounted aimed towards the low level draw
point in the silo. The sensor can be rotated through 360° and
angled at 0 to 27° off vertical. It must be mounted using an
access plate with welded studs or a flange in order to isolate
the mounting holes from the pressurized environment. When
installed properly, the EA 304 aiming device is capable of withstanding pressures up to 0.5 bar (Europe) or 15 psi (North America). It can even be used in corrosive and aggressive environments.
■ Dimensional drawings
The flange has graduated adjustments and an adjustable insertion length. When used for applications with bulk solids, the sensor is mounted so that it is aimed towards the lower level draw
point in the silo. The sensor can be rotated through 360° and
angled at 0 to 20° off vertical. It must be mounted using an
access plate with welded studs or a flange in order to isolate
the mounting holes from the pressurized environment. When
installed properly, the EA 2 aiming device is capable of withstanding pressures up to 0.5 bar (Europe) or 15 psi (North America). It can even be used in corrosive and aggressive environments.

■ Overview
■ Design

TS-3
Plate or wall
4
Locknut (supplied by others)
The TS-3 temperature sensor provides an input signal for
temperature compensation of specific Siemens ultrasonic level
controllers.
Note: Clearance hole/
locknut Installation
method is not suitable
for pressure applications.
■ Benefits
• Chemically resistant ETFE enclosure
• Fast response time
• Approved for use in potentially explosive atmospheres
Tapped
■ Application
Temperature compensation is essential in applications where
temperature variations of the sound medium are expected.
By installing the temperature sensor close to the sound path of
the associated ultrasonic transducer, a signal representative of
the sound medium’s ambient temperature is obtained. The temperature sensor should not be mounted in direct sunlight.
The TS-3 is used in conjunction with ultrasonic transducers that
do not have an integral temperature sensor. It is also recommended in cases where the integral temperature sensor of the
transducer cannot be used.
Flange or wall
The following conditions are typical for use of the TS-3 sensor:
where a fast reaction to temperature variations is required, where
a flanged ultrasonic transducer is used, or where high temperatures are encountered.
The TS-3 is not compatible with devices using the TS-2 or LTS-1
temperature sensors. Refer to the associated controller manual
for more details.
• Key Applications: For use in applications where temperature
sensor measurement from transducer does not accurately
represent vessel temperature. Used for applications requiring
quick temperature response (open channel monitoring).

■ Benefits
• Fast, easy installation
• Direct connection: no additional installation required
• Scaleable application layer allows for optimized network
bandwidth and memory requirements
• Modules available for PROFIBUS DP and DeviceNet
■ Application
Many Siemens products include HART, PROFIBUS PA and
Modbus communications. For additional communication
modules, SmartLinx cards are the answer.
They’re fast and easy to install, and can be added at any time.
The module simply plugs into the socket on any SmartLinxenabled product. They require no secondary private buses or
gateways and no separate wiring. There are no extra boxes to
connect to your network so there’s a minimum load on
engineering and maintenance staff.
SmartLinx provides all data from the instrument, including
measurement and status, and allows changes to operation
parameters to be done over the bus or telemetry link. The user
can select which data in the application layer to transfer over the
bus. This selection saves bandwidth and memory and optimizes
data throughput and speeds up the network, enabling you to
connect more instruments to your network.
