Ultrasonic Level Measurement

prosonic M FMU 40/41/43

Compact transmitters for non-contact level

measurement of fluids, pastes and coarse

bulk materials

Application

The compact Prosonic M transmitters are

used for continuous, non-contact level

measurement in fluids and coarse bulk

materials.

Additionally, the sensors can be used for

flow measurement in open channels and

measuring weirs.

The following interfaces are available for

system integration:

• HART®(standard), 4 to 20 mA

• PROFIBUS-PA

• Foundation Fieldbus

The maximum measuring range for

Prosonic M sensors are:

• FMU 40:

– Fluids, 16 feet (5 m)

– Bulk solids, 6 feet (2 m)

• FMU 41:

– Fluids, 26 feet (8 m)

– Bulk solids, 12 feet (3.5 m)

• FMU 43:

– Fluids, 50 feet (15 m)

– Bulk solids, 23 feet (7 m)

Features and benefits

• Simple, menu-guided on-site

operation with four-line plain text

display

• Envelope curves on the on-site

display for simple diagnosis

• Easy operation, diagnosis and

measuring point documentation with

the supplied ToF Tool operating

program

• Alignable NEMA 6P (IP 68) aluminum

housing

• Optional remote display and operation

• Installation via 1-1/2” NPT, 2” NPT

or 4” universal slip-on flange

• Integrated temperature sensor for

Time-of-Flight correction provides

accurate measurements, even with

temperature changes

• Linearization function (up to 32 points)

for measured value output in any unit

of length, volume, or flow rate

• Non-contact measurement method,

therefore almost independent of

product properties

Function and system design

Time-of-Flight method

The Prosonic M sensor transmits ultrasonic pulses in the direction of the product

surface. The ultrasonic pulse is reflected back and received by the sensor. The

Prosonic M electronics measures the time t between pulse transmission and recep-

tion. Using the time t (and the velocity of sound c), the system calculates the distance

D between the sensor membrane and the product surface

D = c x t/2

As the device knows the empty distance E from the user entry, it can calculate the

level as follows:

L = E - D

An integrated temperature sensor compensates for changes in the velocity of sound

caused by temperature changes.

Interference echo suppression

The interference echo suppression feature ensures that interference echos (such as

welded joints, internal ladder steps, edges and installations) are not interpreted as a

level echo.

Calibration

Enter the empty distance E and the span F to calibrate the system.

Blocking distance

Span F may not extend into the blocking distance BD. Level echos within the blocking

distance cannot be evaluated due to the transient characteristics of the sensor.

Measuring principle

Equipment architecture 4 to 20 mA ouput with HART®protocol

The Prosonic M can be operated on-site using either the display module VU 331 or

the supplied ToF Tool program. The system can also be operated remotely using the

HART®handheld terminal DXR 275 or using the ToF Tool.

NOTE: If a HART®communication resistor is not built into the power supply device, a

250Ωcommunication resistor in the 2-wire line must be inserted.

Profibus-PA protocol

A maximum of 32 transmitters (8 if mounted in an explosion hazardous area) can be

connected to the bus. Both on-site as well as remote operation are possible.

Foundation Fieldbus (FF) protocol

A maximum of 32 transmitters (standard or hazardous) can be connected to the bus.

For intrinsically safe circuits, the maximum number of transmitters depends on the

established rules and standards for intrinsically safe circuits (EN 60070-14) and proof

of instrinsic safety. Both on-site and remote operation are possible.

Input

Measured variable The distance D between the sensor membrane and the product surface is measured

(page 2). Using the linearization function, the device uses D to calculate:

• Level L in any units

• Volume V in any units

• Flow Q across measuring weirs or open channels in any units

The measuring range is limited by the range of a sensor. The sensor range is, in turn,

dependent on operating conditions. The diagram below defines the effect that echo

attenuation has on the sensor’s measuring range. The ideal echo attenuation curves

for each sensor are shown in the diagram. A number of echo attenuation sources that

affect proper sensor selection are shown in the table.

1. Determine which of the influences shown are appropriate for your process.

2. Add the corresponding attenuation values.

3. From the total attenuation, use the diagram to calculate the sensor range.

The linearization function of the Prosonic M allows conversion of the measured value

into any unit of length or volume. In open channels or measuring weirs, it is also

possible to linearize the flow. Linearization tables for calculating volume in horizontal

cylindrical tanks are preprogrammed. You can also enter any number of other tables

containing up to 32 value pairs either manually or semi-automatically (by filling the

vessel under controlled conditions). You can use the ToF Tool operating program to

calculate the table automatically for any tank form and then enter it into the device.

Installation conditions for level

measurement

• Do not install the sensor in the middle of the tank (3). Mounting distance between

vessel wall and sensor (1) should be 1/6 of the tank diameter.

• Use a protective cover (see accessories, page 18), to protect the sensor from rain

or direct sunlight (2).

• Avoid measurements in the filling stream area (4).

• Make sure that equipment (5) such as limits swtiches, temperature sensors, etc.

are not located in the beam angle α. In particular, symmetrical equipment (6) such

as heating coils, baffles, stationary ladder rungs etc. can influence measurement.

• Align the sensor so that it is vertical to the product surface (7).

• Never install two ultrasonic measuring devices in the same vessel, as the two

signals may affect each other.

• To estimate the transmitted echo beam and its detection range, use the 3 dB

emitting angle α(see Figure above).

Installation in narrow shafts In narrow shafts with strong interference

echoes, we recommend using an

ultrasound guide pipe (e.g. PE or PVC

wastewater pipe) with a minimum

diameter of 4” (100 mm). Make sure that

the pipe does not accumulate dirt, clean

pipe at regular intervals.

Installation conditions for flow

measurements • Install the Prosonic M at the inflow side, as close above the maximum water

level Hmax as possible, plus the blocking distance BD.

• Position the Prosonic M in the middle of the channel or weir.

• Align the sensor membrane parallel to the water surface.

• Keep to the installation distance of the channel or weir.

• The “Flow to Level” linearization curve (“Q/h curve”) can be entered using the

ToF Tool or manually via the on-site display.

Example: Khafagi-Venturi flume

Blocking distance with nozzle

installation

Install the Prosonic M at a height so that the blocking distance BD is not interferred

with, even at the maximum fill level. Usa a pipe nozzle if you cannot maintain the

sensor blocking distance in any other way. The interior of the nozzle must be smooth

and cannot contain any edges or welded joints. In particular, remove any burr on the

inside of the tank side nozzle end. Note the specified limits for nozzle diameter to

length. Nozzles which extend into the vessel should be cut at an angle of 45° to

minimize echo disturbances.

Caution !

The sensor may malfunction if the blocking distance is not above the maximum level.

NOTE: In order to prevent the level from entering the blocking distance, a safety

distance (SD) can be specified. If the level is within the safety distance, the Prosonic

outputs a warning or alarm message.
