. Description
1
Series ULTM is an ultrasonic level meter with integrated GSM cellular modem
and USB interface. Optional items include external temperature sensor and
programmable timer switch.
eries ULTM measures distance for targets such as liquid or solids.
S
easurement is continuous and does not require contact with the target. The
M
ystem can accurately measure steady or agitated target surfaces. The system can
s
lso rapidly track filling and emptying of vessels. The system measurement
a
distance spans 5.9 in (15 cm) to 26 ft (8 m). In addition to distance, the ULTM can
also measure temperature of the environment.
Series ULTM makes use of the measured distance to calculate additional
nformation such as target level and volume.
i
eries ULTM operates at an ultrasonic frequency of 75 kHz, making it perfect for
S
oisy conditions. The sensor is made of PVDF, therefore providing good chemical
n
resistance to corrosive targets.
Series ULTM may be used with 8 to 33 VDC power. The low power mode is
available for use with batteries and is supported using a Programmable Timer
Switch (PTS).
eries ULTM is equipped with a large graphic display and keypad allowing a
S
imple wizard-driven setup of the system. The keypad and display allow
s
onfiguration of many ULTM configuration parameters. Complete setup of all ULTM
c
parameters can be executed using a USB equipped PC or laptop. This method of
configuration allows for rapid cloning of multiple ULTM systems.
Series ULTM transmits measurement information to a predefined destination –
(either cellular phone or cellular PC modem) via SMS with user-programmable
eporting intervals. The system also identifies and sends an alert in boundary
r
vents such as full and empty situations. The system can also be programmed to
e
dentify or alert for rapid changes of level, indicating theft and refuel quantities. The
i
system can also transmit on/off contact state information.
This user manual is intended for users and operators of Series ULTM. The
manual covers system description, installation, operation and troubleshooting for
the Series ULTM.

Chapter 2. Physical and Electrical Installation Guidelines
his chapter is a list of guidelines for proper physical installation of the Series ULTM
T
n tanks, including electrical connections. In the final section of this chapter, there
o
s a short and concise list of instructions–the “Must-Be pamphlet”. Always ensure
i
that the Series ULTM is installed in an area that meets the stated ratings of this
product including temperature and technical specifications.
1. Physical Guidelines
• ULTM systems are installed above the target (e.g. water, fuel) being measured
and should not make contact with the target at any time. Typically, the unit is
installed on top of a tank through a hole on the roof of the
tank. In outdoor applications, the ULTM may be attached to a metal arm
extending above the target attached nearby.
• Series ULTM should be located as far as possible from vertical tank walls and
from other physical obstructions such as filling inlets. Keep a minimum gap of: 12
in (30 cm) plus 4 in (10 cm) for each 3.3 ft (1 m) of measurement range.
• For best results, place the unit away from sources of acoustic noise or
sources of vibrations.
Proper physical installation is accompanied by software setup. Setup includes
•
efining parameters such as tank height, and may include additional parameters
d
uch as Near Blocking Distance (NBD), Far Blocking Distance (FBD), False echo
s
can and more. For additional information refer to the section in Chapter 8
s
reference guide: “Application Dimensions and Constraints” (p.14).
2. Tank Fitting
eries ULTM is equipped with a 1.5˝ BSP or 1.5˝ NPT thread allowing for two fitting
S
ptions: direct fitting in a threaded flange, or fastened with a 1.5˝ BSP / 1.5˝ NPT
o
ut through a thread-free flange.
n
or outdoor installations, use a stable arm and firmly attach the sensor to the arm
F
using a through-hole and threaded nut. Alternatively, it may be possible to attach
the sensor to a threaded hole which is built-in the arm.
lways verify thread compatibility between the Series ULTM and flange or nut. Do
A
ot use excessive force when using threads. Preferably, tighten by hand only. If a
n
rench is used, grip Series ULTM at the wrench grip surfaces only (see Figure 1
w
Series ULTM parts) and exert light force.
3. Dead Zone
Refer to Chapter 8 reference guide: “Application Dimensions and Constraints”
p.14). A gap must be kept between the face of sensor and the topmost level of the
(
arget. This gap must be at least the size of the specified “dead zone”. If the target
t
evel passes the dead zone, measurements may be unpredictable. Therefore, it is
l
recommended to keep a marginal gap between the expected topmost level and the
dead zone border. In the case where the top most level is too close to the tank roof,
an extension pipe is required for the installation of the unit as described below.
Figure 4: Threaded Flange (left) Thread-Free Flange (right).
4. Extension Pipe
Refer to Chapter 8 reference guide: “Application Dimensions and Constraints”
(p.14). An extension pipe is required for installation where the top most target level
is too close to the roof of the tank. In such cases, an extension pipe is installed on
the tank and the sensor is installed on top of the extension pipe at a safe distance
from the top most level of the target. The lower border of the dead zone may fall
inside the tank as seen in the right hand side of the figure below. In this case no
further software settings are required. The lower border of the dead zone may also
fall within the extension pipe as described in the left hand side of the figure below.
In such cases, the Near Blocking Distance (NBD) should be configured in the
software.

typical structure of an extension pipe is shown in Figure 6 below. Closely follow
A
hese guidelines when using an extension pipe:
t
Internal pipe diameter should be at least 3˝ (7.62 cm) wide.
•
The diameter of the hole on the flange or tank should not be smaller than the pipe
•
diameter.
• Pipe length (measured from sensor face) should be no longer than 20˝ (50 cm).
• The pipe should not protrude into the tank.
Pipe should be exactly perpendicular to the surface of the target.
•
Sensor must be located at the center of the pipe.
•
Pipe should have a smooth interior surface.
•
The hole in the flange or tank should have a smooth edge and welding spots must
•
be avoided.
Figure 6: Possible Extension Pipe Fittings.
5. Temperature Considerations and Temperature Sensors
Also refer to Chapter 8 reference guide: “Temperature Sensors, Units and Display”
(p.17).
When using an external temperature sensor, place the sensor at a location that
best represents temperature of the air between the sensor face and the target.
Connect the sensor internally as described in the electrical connection section to
the Thermistor pins. External temperature sensors may be ordered from the
manufacturer or may be purchased independently. Use Thermistor NTC 10 K Ω 5%
(minimum), ULTM-EXT or equivalent.
When using the internal temperature sensor, avoid situations where the Series
ULTM is exposed to different thermal conditions other than its environment, such
as direct sunlight. Direct sunlight may overheat the system and cause
measurement inaccuracies, measurement variations in time, and even failure of the
system in extreme cases. If the Series ULTM is exposed to direct sunlight,
construct a local sunshade (“umbrella”) over the ULTM.
In areas of large temperature variations, take into consideration volume changes of
the target due to temperature expansion.

terminals, disregarding of any voltage drop along the supply lines.
6.5 When using an external temperature sensor or ULTM-EXT, connect the
thermistor to data pins 6 and 7. *Do not wire ULTM-PTS and ULTM-EXT at the
same time.
6.6 When using an external Programmable Timer Switch ULTM-PTS, connect the
switch to pins 6 and 7.
6.7 When using a contact alert, connect short/open between pins 5 and 4 (ground).
See the section about contact alerts in the Chapter 8 reference guide.
6.8 The mini-USB port is a USB device-side supporting virtual COM ports. The port
may be used for firmware upgrades, field monitoring and remote setup. Details
about firmware upgrade are provided in the Chapter 5: Firmware Updates
(p.12).
7. Low Power Mode and Programmable/Timer Switch (PTS), ULTM-PTS
Series ULTM supports low power mode for extended external battery lifetime. This
mode of operation requires the external Programmable Timer Switch (PTS) ULTMPTS to be connected between Series ULTM and battery.
PTS connections:
• First connect the 5-wire cable from the ULTM-PTS to Series ULTM through one
of the glands.
• Connect the Brown (+) wire to the power plus (+) on Series ULTM.
• Connect the Yellow (-) wire to the power minus (-) on Series ULTM.
• Connect the White wire to pin 6 on the electrical port panel (see Figure 7
above).
• Connect the Green wire to pin 7 on the electrical port panel.
• Connect the Blue (ground) wire to the ground port on Series ULTM.
• Then connect the 3-wire cable from the ULTM-PTS to the battery.
• Connect the Brown (+) wire to the battery plus (+).
• Connect the Yellow (-) wire to the battery minus (-).
• Connect the Blue wire to a local ground at or nearby the battery.
