Introduction

What is this Quick-start?

This Quick-Start is for anyone who has to install and commission the MSP-ULOG1 or MSP-ULOG2 ultrasonic system, and
does not need in-depth information.

For full installation instructions, you must refer to the installation (IM) manuals supplied with the equi pment.

What are these MSP-ULOG1 and MSP-ULOG2 systems?

They are level, contents, or flow measurement and control systems. Typical applications include wet well level (and pump)
control, tank contents measurement, and open channel flow measurement.

The system comprises a mains or DC powered MCULOG control unit, an MSP900SH ultrasonic transmitter with a mounting kit,
and manuals. MSP-ULOG1 has the wall-mounted version of the MCULOG; MSP-ULOG2 has the panel-mounted MCULOG.

About the MCULOG Control Unit

The MCULOG unit is a member of the MCU900 family of control units. It has:

• Full support for a single MSP900SH ultrasonic transmitter – measuring level by default

• a 4-line LCD display with back light – displays both text and graphical information

• a 6 button keypad

• an LED indicator

• an intuitive menu system – for setting up

• 2 digital inputs (voltage-free contacts) for triggering various activities (e.g. displaying a message)

• 5 relay outputs (e.g. for controlling pumps, indicating alarms, etc.)

• a 4-20mA output

• a 4,800 event logging capability.

All setting up is achieved from the front panel of the MCULOG control unit.

About the MSP900SH Ultrasonic Transmitter

This is a loop-powered transmitter, factory sealed and fitted with cable ready to install on aqueous applications. The transmitter
is pre-configured to measure liquid level and communicates values to the MCULOG.

Installation

IMPORTANT - For hazardous area installations, you must refer to the installation (IM) manuals supplied with the system.

Location of MSP900SH

• Install the transmitter above the liquid surface using the bracket provided. Important instructions for an open ch annel flow
installation are given in IP2040/IM.

• Do not mount the MSP900SH on a structure that is subject to vibration, or in a position where impact or thermal stress may
cause damage.

• The equipment is not intended for use in areas exposed to dust.

• The equipment must not be installed directly in any process where the enclosure might be charged by the rapid flow of

non-conductive media.

Location of MCULOG

• The MCULOG must not be located in a hazardous area. Do not mount the MCULOG where it is subject to vibration, or in
a position where damage may be caused by impact, thermal stress or liquid ingress.

• The MCULOGW is housed in a tough IP65 enclosure. If mounted outside, it is recommended that the unit be protected
from direct heavy rain.

• The MCULOGP is a standard DIN size designed for direct mounting in a control panel. It is designed for panel mounting in
a weatherproof environment.

• Allow sufficient space around the MCULOG for easy connection to the download socket.

Cabling (MCULOGW)

1. Cable the MSP900SH to the MCULOG using the gland provided. (Undo 2 screws and lift cover away to reveal terminals).

2. Check the voltage selector switch (230V or 115V) and adjust if necessary. (Mains unit only).

3. Cable the power lead to the MCULOG using the gland provided. Do not apply power yet.

4. Make connections to relay terminals and current output terminals, if required.

5. Seal unused cable entries with the blanking plugs provided.

6. Replace and secure the terminal cover.

Cabling (MCULOGP)

1. Cable the MSP900SH transmitter to terminals 1, 2 and 3 on the rear panel of the MCULOG.

(See figure inset, right)

2. Check the voltage selector switch (230V or 115V) and adjust if necessary. (Mains unit only).

3. Cable the AC power supply to terminals 28 (Live) and 29 (Neutral) on the rear panel of the

MCULOG. Note that mains Earth is not required. (Mains unit only).

4. Connect terminal 30 to an Intrinsically Safe Earth. This is essential only if the MSP900SH
is in located in a hazardous area.

5. The download socket supplied with the MCULOG should be mounted on the panel to allow

easy connection of the download device.

Getting started

After completing the installation of both MCULOG control unit and the MSP900SH transmitter, the next stage is to switch on.

1. Familiarise yourself with the front panel fascia.

Front Panel Fascia of MCULOGW

2. Switch on the MCULOG by applying the power.

Wait for the primary display (inset, right) to
appear.

During this time, the MCULOG will read parameters
from the MSP900SH transmitter.

If being used for the first time, it will prompt for the
Bottom Reference of the MSP900SH transmitter
and then automatically set-up the 4-20mA output
span over this range. If you do not want to

commission the system now, simply switch off
the power – the same prompt will then re-appear
when switching on the next time.

If you are commissioning the system, edit the
Bottom Reference with the arrow-keys and then
press the yellow key to confirm the value. The
Bottom Reference can be changed at a later stage
but it is better to get it correct now. Should you
press the red (ESC) key, the MCULOG will continue
and the Bottom Reference prompt will re-appear
when switching on the next time.

Once the start-up is completed, the primary display
should appear, showing the measured depth of the
liquid in the tank. The value on the primary display
is the P.V. (Primary Variable).

Key to figure:

c 4-line LCD with backlight.

d Keypad with 6 function keys.
e Status LED – flashes once per second if okay.

Note: The model type is shown on the LCD display in the
bottom, right-hand corner.

3. Familiarise yourself with the primary display.

Primary Display

Key to figure:

1. Off-line/on-line status. (Locked padlock = on-line)
(See page 10)

2. Digital input status. (o = de-energised, = energised)

3. Measured variable (P.V.) and units of measurement.

4. Bar graph of 4-20mA output of MCULOG.

5. Relay (RL) status. (o = de-energised, = energised)

6. Digital communication in progress. (Absent if idle)

7. Shows specific model type.

Note: If a “Find Instrument” screen appears and

remains, power off. Check the cabling and then try
again. If the problem persists, follow the on-screen
prompts until the primary display appears.
