ENCLOSURE
While the switch housing is liquid-resistant the EchoPod
®
is not designed to be operational when immersed. It
should be mounted in such a way that the enclosure and transducer do not come into contact with the
application media under normal operational conditions. Before closing the enclosure, make sure that the
enclosure gasket is properly seated, and that any conduit fittings, cable connectors or plugs are installed
correctly and sealed. Note: If using the Flowline LM90-1001 (liquid tight fitting) on the ½” conduit, the cable
minimum is 0.170” (4.3mm) and the maximum is 0.450” (11.4mm).
CONFIGURATION
When configuring EchoPod
®
, choose either the WebCal® or Push Button method. Either method will
accomplish the goal of sensor configuration. Changes to the configuration can be made using the alternative
method. When beginning with one method, it is recommended to complete the configuration before using the
other method to make any adjustments.
Note: When connecting the sensor to the WebCal
®
Software, you must remove the display or the software will
not connect. Once completed, you can re-connect the display to the terminal.

STEP 3 - MEASURE THE TANK
Measuring the tank is one of the most important aspects
in configuring the sensor. When measuring the tank,
take into account the location of the sensor with respect
to fittings, risers, dome tops and bottoms, and identify
where the measurements are taken from the sensor.
The HEIGHT and FILL-H settings determine the 420mA span and are always measured from the bottom
of the tank up.
STEP 4 - SENSOR CONFIGURATION
Configures the Loop Fail-Safe, Output at Empty and Startup Condition for the sensor.
