The SmartScan provides non-contact interface level measurement and
density profile. It can detect a single interface or report the position of
multiple interface layers. The most common industries for the Smart Scan Power Requirements Motor/Drive
include: - Voltage 110 VAC or 230 VAC; +/- 10%; single phase,
• Petrochemical 50 ... 60 Hz
- Power Standard: 250 Watts, Heated: 500 Watts
• Chemical
Remote Electronics
• Offshore - Voltage 90 ... 270 VAC, 50 ... 60 Hz
• Refining - Power 20 VA max

Ambient Conditions
- Humidity 0-95%, non-condensing
Advantages
- Vibration Less than 0.5 g @ 300 Hz
Recognizable benefits of the SmartScan include:
Temperature Motor Drive
• Measure changes in specific gravity over entire range of the vessel - Standard/CSA -20 ... 48 °C (-4 ... 118 °F)
• Track multiple interfaces Heated: -50° C ... 48° C (-58° F ... 118° F)
• Pinpoint emulsion layers - ATEX -20 ... 48 °C (-4 ... 118 °F)
• Identify mixing and separation of materials

Function
Process Temperature 5 ... 48 °C (41 ... 118 °F)
The SmartScan uses a compact scintillator inside a probe. This scintilla-
tor produces photons when exposed to gamma radiation. The number of Approximate Weight 381 ... 635 kg (840 lbs. ... 1400 lbs.) Weights
photons produced represents the intensity of radiation striking the detec- vary due to model and drywell pipe size/
tor. A photomultiplier tube converts the scintillator’s photon signal to an schedule
electrical signal. A gamma source is installed in the same probe (S3910)
or in a second probe (S3920). The SmartScan’s microprocessor-controlled

motor drive system raises and lowers the probe(s) through the process
media in a drywell(s). Process density affects the amount of radiation

to the detector probe (S3920). A remote microprocessor-based transmit-
ter produces two 4 … 20 mA outputs proportional to density and elevation Mounting Legs Carbon steel with polyester coating
