Using a Conduit Adapter
1. Remove the four retaining screws from the conduit adapter cover.
2. Pull the electrical wires through the 1/2˝ NPT conduit connection or gland.
3. Connect the -24 V wire to Terminal 1, connect the +24 V wire to Terminal 2 on
the wiring block.
4. Return the adapter's cover to its place properly. Make sure that the O-ring is
placed correctly. Fasten the four retaining screws.
Figure 4: Conduit Adapter
NOTE: The conduit adapter should not exceed a torque of 50 lb-in.
To maintain a proper seal, make sure that conduit is firmly screwed to the conduit's
adaptor.
b
NOTE: The resistance value is the total sum of the series resistor (or PLC
resistance) and the lines resistance. The minimum voltage level on terminals
should not be less that 18 VDC.
To maintain a proper seal, make sure that conduit is firmly screwed to the conduit's
adaptor.
Ripple/Noise Parameters Recommended for the Power Supply
The following ripple/noise parameter is recommended for the power supply:
• 100 mV p-p max.
Power Supply Types Recommendations
• Prefer a regulated switching power supply.
• A rectified power supply is not recommended.
• When powering by a battery, avoid the using of switched charger.
Feeding Via PLC
• Verify that the voltage level on the unit’s terminals is at least 18 VDC.
• Check PLC specifications for grounding options.
• It is good practice to add a 150 Ω series resistor between the unit's positive
terminal and the PLC.

his chapter explains how to set up and calibrate the unit for accurate
T
easurement monitoring.
m
he unit is supplied with preprogrammed default settings, making it ready for
T
immediate operation. There is no need to change the default settings, unless you
wish to calibrate the unit for your specific requirements; however, it is
recommended that you replace the default tank height value with the actual tank
eight, as described on page 6. When using the unit, the tank height is calculated
h
s the distance from the surface of the sensor to the bottom of the tank. You should
a
nter this value whenever tank height is required. (For flow measurement, enter the
e
recise flume height.)
p
The ULF, ULL and ULB units contain eleven, ten and nine programs respectively.
These programs are referred to as functions, which enable you to change the
efault settings and calibrate as required. These functions are accessed from a
d
unctions menu. The functions Pr01, Pr02, Pr04 and Pr05 are the most important
f
o ensure correct usage of your device (with the addition of Pr00 if using the
t
appropriate ULF series). Function Pr03 may be used if there are interfering signals.
The remaining functions (Pr06, Pr07, Pr08, Pr09 and Pr10) enable you to
customize the unit for your monitoring requirements or to restore factory default
settings.

efining Interfering Signals
he Pr03 function enables you to locate and store up to six interfering signals (false
T
choes) in the unit’s memory to avoid having obstructions, such as a tank agitator
e
or a sidewall, interfering with the measurement of the contents. Defining interfering
signals is done while the tank is empty.
Each reading (scan distance) taken using the Pr03 function is stored as an
interfering signal, until a reading is achieved that indicates the real echo. If six
interfering signals are already stored, the next read values will not be saved.
OTE: The reading of the actual target height may not be exact, for example, a
N
arget height of 19.69 ft (6 m) may give a reading in the range 19.62 to 19.75 ft (5.98
t
to 6.02 m).
The displayed values are in distance units.

m
measurements (depending on series). The measurement value types should be
defined in Pr04. These definitions will be applicable as well for the 20 mA values

or example, if we measure a tank with tank height configured for 16.4 ft (5.0 m),
F
the 4 mA values will represent zero tank level and 20 mA values will represent full
tank level. Therefore, the value entered in Pr04 will be 0.0 ft (0.0 m) and the value
entered in Pr05 will be 16.4 ft (5.0 m).

The values for 4 mA and 20 mA should not be greater than the value used for the
tank height (Pr02). Because of the dead-zone (blind zone), the distance between
the sensor and the surface of the target at its highest level should be a minimum of
0.82 ft (0.25 m) for ULB Standard Range as well as the ULL and ULF Short Range
models. There should be a 1.96 ft (0.6 m) minimum distance for the ULB Extended
Range as well as the ULL and ULF Standard Range models.
The first digit of the 4 mA value can be modified to read between 0 and 5 (feet) for
U.S. Standard Units or between 0 and 1 (meters) metric units (upon request).
After accessing the Pr04 function, the unit generates a fixed current of 22 mA on
the 4 to 20 mA line. When the unit reverts to regular scanning mode, the 4 to 20
mA line returns to regular functioning.
The default measurement values for 4 mA and 20 mA in both the ULB and ULL
models are level.
The default measurement values for 4 mA and 20 mA in ULF Open Channel Series
are flow. When changing from one measurement mode to another, the
measurement units will be changed automatically (for example, when changing
from (F) feet to (M) meters, the units will change from feet to GPM or meters to
M3/H (depending on the model).
The values for 4 mA and 20 mA should not be higher than the value used for the
tank height (Pr02).
The first digit of the 20 mA value can be modified to read between 0 and 5 for U.S.
Standard Units or between 0 and 1 for metric units (model dependent).
After accessing the Pr05 function, the unit generates a fixed current of 22 mA on
the 4 to 20 mA line. When the unit reverts to regular scanning mode, the 4 to 20
mA line returns to regular functioning.
Please refer to Chapter 5 Troubleshooting for 22 mA error indications.
The measurement mode selected for the 4 to 20 mA values will not influence the
measurement mode selected for the display (Pr08). In case of power rest,
measurement configuration (level, distance, flow) will be saved according to the
unit's last configuration.

ntering Factor for Gas Compensation
E
unction Pr09 enables you to compensate for sound velocity changes in different
F
ypes of gasses. You can enter the appropriate factor for each type of gas listed on
t
the “Gas Factor Table” (Appendix A). For example, the sound velocity in air (at
room temperature) is 1125 ft/sec (343 m/sec) and for Methane (Ch
(445.82 m/sec). Therefore, a factor of 1463/1125 = 1.30 should be entered to
ompensate for this type of gas. This factor will compensate in cases when the gas
c
ompound consists of 100% Methane. In case the gas is not pure, the sound
c
elocity cannot be estimated and therefore a minor deviation could appear. It is
v
ecommended to use a reference measurement indicator (using a tape or other
r
) 1463 ft/sec
4
measuring device) and compare the measurement results between the unit and the
reference measurement indicator. If the result is correct, press ENT. If the accuracy
deviation is higher than expected, continue and calibrate the factor to meet the gas
aintained in the vessel. For example, if the gas composition consists of water and
m
as, you can add ± 0.01 to the factor figure already entered to meet your
g
pplication requirements.
