  • Energy supply of a measuring device
    Patent number: 7791228
    Abstract: An energy supply unit for a measuring device for determining and/or monitoring a physical or chemical, process variable of a medium. Included is at least one voltage limiting unit and/or at least one current limiting unit in the energy supply unit, wherein the voltage limiting unit is embodied in such a manner that arising voltages remain under a value, which leads to an explosion in an explosion-endangered area, and wherein the current limiting unit is embodied in such a manner that arising currents and/or heatings associated therewith remain under a value, which leads to an explosion in an explosion-endangered area.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 29, 2004
    Date of Patent: September 7, 2010
    Assignee: Endress + Hauser GmbH + Co. KG
    Inventors: Klaus Schaefer, Joerg Trinler, Alexander Koprian
  • Orientating device for a measuring instrument
    Patent number: 7552634
    Abstract: The invention relates to an orienting mechanism (20), with which, even in the case of unfavorable installation conditions at the container (10), a fill level measuring device (16) can be mounted on the container (10) and aimed, such that the line (17) of measurement is perpendicular to the surface (14) of a medium (13) to be sensed. The orienting mechanism (20) enables the pivoting of the measuring device (16) while yet providing a reliable sealing of the interior of the container.
