1 . MEASURING PRINCIPLE

UltrasoniclevelmeterULM®is a compact measuring device consisting of two parts - main level

meter(thebodywithmeasuringelectronics)anddisplaymodule.Usingtheelectroacoustic

converter, the level meters transmit the sequence of ultrasonic pulses that spread towards the

surfacelevel.Theconverterrecuperatesreectedacousticwavesthataresubsequentlypro-

cessedintheelectronicmodule.Theintelligentevaluationblockltersoutinterferingsignals,

comparesthecleanedreceivedsignalwiththefalsereectionmap(e.g.frommixers,ladders,

reinforcementetc.)andselectsasuitablereection(echo).Basedontheperiodduringwhich

theindividualpulsesspreadtowardsthesurfacelevelandbackandbasedonthemeasured

temperatureinthetank,theinstantdistancetothesurfaceleveliscalculated.Accordingtothe

levelheight,thelevelmeteroutputissetandthemeasuredvalueisdisplayedonthedisplay.

2 . RANGE OF APPLICATIONS

For continuous non-contact level measurement of liquids (water solutions, sewerage water,

etc.),mashandpastematerials(sediments,sticks,resinsetc.)inclosedoropenvessels,sumps,

reservoirsandopenchannels.Incasethelevelofbulk-solidmaterialsismeasured,themeas-

urementrangeisreduced.Thelevelmeterscancontinuouslymeasurelevelsofbulk-solidma-

terialswithalowconcentrationofdustparticles.Consultthemanufactureronrecommended

useofthelevelmeterforbulk-solidmaterials.

3 . VARIANTS OF SENSORS

Alloperationsdescribedinthisinstructionmanualhavetobecarriedoutonlyby

trainedpersonneloranaccreditedperson.Warrantyandpostwarrantyservicemust

beexclusivelycarriedoutbythemanufacturer.

Improper use, installation or set-up of the level meter can result in crashes in the ap-

plication(overllingofthetankordamageofsystemcomponents).

Themanufacturerisnotresponsibleforimproperuse,lossesofworkcausedbyeither

direct or indirect damage, and for expenses incurred during installation or use of the

level meter.

• Install the level meter in the vertical positionintotheupperlidofthetankorreservoirusing

aweldingange,afasteningnutoraangesothatthelevelmeteraxiscanbeperpendicular

tothesurfacelevelofthemeasuredliquid(Fig.1).

• The min. dimensional parameters to install the

levelmeterintoalidoraceilingofatankaregiven

in Fig. 3.

• When installing in an open channel (reservoir,

drainetc.),installthelevelmeterontoabracketas

closeaspossibletotheexpectedmax.level.

• The reference plane for the measurement is the

lower edge of the transducer (Fig.2).

In connec-

tion with the measurement principle, no signals

reectedintheareaimmediatelyunderthelevel

meter can be evaluated. The zone(Fig.2)deter-

mines the min. distance possible between the

level meter and the highest surface level. The min.

distances to the medium are given in the chapter

"Specications".

• Itisnecessarytoinstallthelevelmetersothatthe

binlevelcannotinterferewiththedeadzonewhen

lleduptothemaximum.Ifthemeasuredlevelin-

terfereswiththedeadzone,thelevelmeterwillnot

workproperly.

• Iftheemittedacousticsignalofthelevelmeterisaectedbynearobjects(roughnesson

wallsofthetank,variouspartitions,mixersetc.),itisnecessarytomapfalsereections

byactivatingthemode"TEACHING".Incaseofinstalledmixers,itisnecessarytoputthe

mixers to position under the level meter (direct the mixer paddle to the ultrasonic signal

beam)(Fig.5and6).

• Donotinstallthelevelmeterinorabovethellingpoint(Fig.7).

• Incasethelevelofbulksolidsismeasured,

the measurement range is reduced Due to

absorptionofacousticwavesbyabulkme-

dium, shortening of the measuring range

occursbyupto50%dependingonthegrain

size. We therefore recommend selecting a

level meter with greater range than the max-

imum range of measuring the medium. It is

also appropriate to use a directional horn

(see image 8), which reduces the shorten-

ingofthemeasuringrange,becauseitbet-

terconcentratesacousticenergywhilepre-

servingthesamebeamangle,andimproves

thesensitivity when receiving thereected

echo. We recommend to consult the use with

the manufacturer.

• Scattering or attenuation of

the ultrasonic signal can result

if the surface level has been

moderately stirred or rippled

(by a mixer, coming liquid etc.).

It can result in reduction of the

measurement range or unreli-

ablefunctionofthelevelmeter

(Fig.10).

• Rotatingmixer blades can cause

that the surface is stirred, which

resultsinfalsereectionsofthe

ultrasonic signal from the surface

levelandunreliableoperationof

thelevelmeter(Fig.13).(obr.11).

For a rippled or swirling level,

you can use the directional

horn to eliminate scattering of

the ultrasonic signal.

• During lling, mixing and other processes, foam

can arise on the surface level of the measured liquid.

The foam considerably absorbs the ultrasonic sig-

nal which might cause malfunction of the level meter

(Fig.9).Forsuchcases,itisnecessarytosetup"SENSITIV-

ITY"modeto"high"orcontactthemanufacturerifneed.

Incaseofathinlayeroffoam,itisalsopossibletouse

thedirectionalhornforimprovingreceiptofthereec-

ted echo.

• If the level sensor is mounted to

bottlenecks and places with ba-

rriers, or near uneven walls or the

llingarea,wherethetransmissi-

onsignalcouldbedistorted, we

recommend using a guide tube

(acoustic horn). The tube must

be made from a single material

with a smooth inner surface (see

image 12a, 12b ). The minimum

tubediametermusthavethedi-

mension "b" according to image

4onpage5.Afterinstalling,you

must perform the procedure

"LEARNING".  We recommend

consulting with the manufacture

on the construction of the guide

tube.

• Thelevelmetermustnotbeinstalledinplaceswithdirect

solar radiationandmustbeprotectedagainstweather

eects.

• If the installation in places with direct solar radiation is in-

evitable,itisnecessarytomountashielding coverabove

thelevelmeter(Fig.13).

• It is suitable to run the cable under a cable bushing

(obliquelydowninslack)accordingtoFig.14toprevent

penetration of humidity. Then the rain and condensing

watercanowofreely.

• Thecablebushingandconnectorhavetobesuciently

tightenedtopreventpenetrationofhumidity.

• To lower the minimum distance to the measured medium,

a reection board made from solid, even and smooth

materialcanbeinstalledtothelevelmeter.Thenthetank

canbellednearlyuptothemaximumheight.Thesolu-

tionissuitableforopentanksandreservoirs(Fig.15).
