Chapter 2: Installing the Unit
Precautions
• Ensure that the unit is mounted in an area that meets the stated temperature,
pressure and technical specifications.
• Ensure that high-voltage sources or cables are at least 40˝ (1 m) away from the
sensor and its cable.
• Use round cables with minimum diameter of 0.24 to 0.28˝ (6 to 7 mm) to ensure
that the unit remains sealed per IP65 standards.
• Ensure that cables are routed correctly and tightened along walls or pipes.
• Installation and operation of this product should be performed, according to the
Product User Manual and Product Certification. Otherwise the use of this product
is prohibited.
When installing the unit ensure that it is:
• Mounted above the dead-zone area.
NOTE: If the device enters the blocking distance (dead
zone), it will not measure correctly.
• Positioned at least 1.64 ft (0.5 m) away from the tank walls.
Add 4˝ (10 cm) spacing for each 40˝ (1 m) in range.
Installing the Unit on Threaded Flange/Thread-Free Flange
The unit is available in 2˝ NPT or 2˝ BSP (upon request).
The unit can be installed with threaded-flange mounting or with thread-free flange

Chapter 3: Setting Up and Calibrating the Unit
This chapter explains how to set up and calibrate the unit for accurate
measurement monitoring.
The unit is supplied with preprogrammed default settings, making it ready for
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
height, as described on page 6. When using the unit, the tank height is calculated
as the distance from the surface of the sensor to the bottom of the tank. You should
enter this value whenever tank height is required. (For flow measurement, enter the
precise flume height.)
The ULF unit contains eleven programs and the ULB unit contains nine programs.
These programs are referred to as functions, which enable you to change the
default settings and calibrate as required. These functions are accessed from a
functions menu. The functions Pr01, Pr02, Pr04 and Pr05 are the most important
to ensure correct usage of your device (with the addition of Pr00 if using the
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.
The diagram below shows the functions available in the functions menus for the
Series ULF and Series ULB. Some functions are only relevant for particular series.
Using Series UL Functions
The LCD display screen, functioning in "normal" mode, provides continuously
updated measurement readings. The display screen is also used to view the
menu options, function settings and data values, accessed by using the function
buttons.

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.
NOTE: The reading of the actual target height may not be exact, for example, a
target height of 19.69 ft (6 m) may give a reading in the range 19.62 to 19.75 ft (5.98

Pr04 function enables you to enter values to be used as the 4 mA mark for remote
monitoring. You can define the 4 mA values for level, distance or flow
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
defined in Pr05.
To set 4 mA and 20 mA for level measurements you should configure Pr04 and
Pr05 for level values.
For example, if we measure a tank with tank height configured for 16.4 ft (5.0 m),
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).
When setting 4 mA and 20 mA for distance measurements, 4 mA values will
represent the minimal distance between the surface of the target and the sensor
and 20 mA values will represent the maximal distance between the sensor and the
surface of the target. Therefore, 4 mA represents the full part of the tank and 20 mA
represents the empty part of the tank.

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, 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 and ULF Short-Range models, or 1.96 ft (0.6 m)
for ULB Extended-Range 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 values for 4 mA and 20 mA in both the ULB and ULF Liquid Series are
level.
The default 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 level mode to flow
mode, 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 20 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.

compensate for this type of gas. This factor will compensate in cases when the gas
compound consists of 100% Methane. In case the gas is not pure, the sound
velocity cannot be estimated and therefore a minor deviation could appear. It is
recommended to use a reference measurement indicator (using a tape or other
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
maintained in the vessel. For example, if the gas composition consists of water and
gas you can add ± 0.01 to the factor figure already entered, to meet your
application requirements.
