Introduction / Table of Contents Step One

An ultrasonic sound wave is pulsed from the base of the transducer. The sound wave reflects against the process medium below it. The sound wave energy is returned to the transducer. The microprocessor based electronics measures the time of flight between the sound pulse generation and its receipt. This translates into the distance or range between the transducer and process media below.

NEW FEATURES

 Reflective Ultrasonic Technology  Simple configuration with WebCal

software or push button (some models) configuration

 Increased temperature range  Increased output filtering

REFLECTIVE TECHNOLOGY

Condensation is the most common variable in liquid level applications. Condensation attenuates the acoustic signal of ultrasonic sensors with horizontal transducers, weakening their signal strength and signal to noise ratio by up to 50%, and substantially reducing their measurement reliability. At the core of Reflective Technology™ is a simple fact. Unlike flat horizontal surfaces, significant water droplets cannot adhere to smooth vertical surfaces. By orienting the transducer vertically, condensation runs off the transducer and does not affect sensor performance. The unimpeded transmit and receive signals are redirected to and from the liquid off a 45º reflector, delivering reliable level measurement.

WEBCAL® VS. DISPLAY CONFIGURATION

EchoTouch® can be configured using either the free WebCal® software and USB® Fob or with the internal display module. Either method will accomplish the goal of sensor configuration. Changes to the configuration can be made using the alternative method. Upon implementing one methodology, it is recommended to complete the configuration before using the other methodology in making any adjustments.

EchoTouch memory, so any settings configured before installation will not be lost when the sensor is powered down. To start, the following information is required:

 Basic Tank Information

 Power:

Note: The HEIGHT and Fill-Height (FILL-H) settings also determine the 4 to 20 mA current span. The HEIGHT setting determines the 4mA position and the FILL-H setting determines the 20 mA position.

the bottom of the tank to the bottom of the sensor.

o FILL-H (Fill-Height) – Distance from the

bottom of the tank to the fill-height of the liquid.

o Provide input power to the Echotouch®

| 14 MN300820 Rev B

Getting Started (continued) Step Two

UNDERSTANDING SENSOR HEIGHT (HEIGHT)

This is a critical setting for EchoTouch®. Sensor Height (SH) defines the location of the sensor from the bottom of the tank. The value must take into account the shape of the tank and any risers, fittings, structures or extensions associated with the tank or the installation (see examples below). The reference point for definition of the Sensor Height is always the bottom of the mounting nut.

Mounting Fixture Elevates HEIGHT

MN300820 Rev B 15 |

Getting Started (continued) Step Two

UNDERSTANDING FILL-HEIGHT (FILL-H)

This is another critical setting for EchoTouch®. FILL-H (Fill-Height) defines the location of the highest point in the tank where the sensor will read level changes. When the level rises above FILL-H, the sensor wi ll read full (as long as the level does not enter the dead band). The reference point for definition of FILL-H is always from the bottom location of the Sensor Height. The value must take into account the sensors dead band, any risers, fittings, structures or extensions associated with the tank or the installation as well as the tanks geometry.

Example #1 – Flat Top Tanks Tank A is a vertical tank with a flat to p. The highest

value for FILL-H can be calculated by subtracting the Dead Band from the Sensor Height.

FILL-H = Sensor Height – Dead Band

Tank B is another vertical tank with a riser that

matches the dead band of the sensor. In this case, the FILL-H will be set to the top of the tank.

Note: The ratio of height to diameter of the riser must be no greater than 2:1. Any higher and the sensor will target the inside wall of the riser.

Example #2 – Dome Top Tanks Tank C has a tall enough dome whereas the Dead

Band is above the straight side of the tank. The FILL-H can be set to the top of the straight side (this is advantageous because the top of the straight side is typically a known volume of liquid).

The sensor is moved to a flat part of Tank D. As a result, the Dead Band is now below the straigh t si de of the tank. FILL-H cannot be set to match the straight side of the tank. Calculate FILL-H as follows:

FILL-H = Sensor Height – Dead Band

Example #3 – Horizontal Tanks Tank E is a horizontal tank with a rounded to p. The

highest value for FILL-H can be calculated by subtracting the Dead Band from the Sensor Height.

FILL-H = Sensor Height – Dead Band

Tank F is another horizontal tank with a riser that

matches the dead band of the sensor. In this case, the FILL-H will be set to the top of the tank.

Note: The

ratio of height to diameter of the riser must be no greater than 2:1. Any higher and the sensor will target the inside wall of the riser.

| 16 MN300820 Rev B

Getting Started (continued) Step Two

Example #4 – Cone Bottom Tank Tank G and Tank H are both vertical tanks that are

being supported above ground level with tank stands. The location of the Sensor Height (Tank G - bottom of tank or Tank H – ground level) will influence the FILL-H setting.

Note: FILL-H must always be referenced to the lowest location of the Sensor Height.

Since Tank G is off of the ground, the lowest location may be difficult to identify/measure. This location is required if the Volumetric Mode in WebCal

is used.

Tank H uses ground level as the main reference location. This method is easiest to use and ideal for using the Distance mode of WebCal

Cone and Rounded Bottom Tanks

The location of an EchoTouch

installed along the top of a cone or rounded bottom tank may have an effect on the installation of the sensor. Be sure to understand the geometry directly underneath the sensor. Cone or rounded bottom tanks will provide off angled surfaces that can reflect the ultrasonic sound energy away from the sensor as the liquid level is lowered.

Getting Started (continued) Step Two

SENSOR OUTPUT TO LOCAL DISPLAY/CONTROLLER

Echotouch® outputs a 4-20 mA signal to a local display/controller or to remote devices such as PLCs, SCADA, DCS or other displays/controllers. The 4-20 mA signal is set relative to the Sensor Height and Fill-Height settings. These settings create an operational range that can be translated into a level reading in defined units (i.e. inches, feet, gallons, meters, liters, etc.).

Tank A

In the Tank A example, the Sensor Height sets the 4mA to the bottom of the tank. Fill-Height sets the 20mA to the top of the straight side of the tank.

In the Tank B example, the 4-20mA sensor range is correlated to actual units of level measurement. The operational range now will have engineering values of 0 to 10 feet or 0 to 1000 gallons or 0 to 120 inches.

STEP 2 - MEASURE THE TANK

(continued) Step Three

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 Sensor Height is influenced by the installation location. Sensors mounted along the sloped portion of the tank will result in a lower (HEIGHT) value. On the other hand, sensors installed in risers/nozzles will result in a higher (HEIGHT) value.

The basic measurements (Height and Fill-H) for configuration are described below:

1. HEIGHT (Sensor Height) - Distance from the bottom of the tank to the Bottom of Sensor.

a. The bottom of the tank will be the sensor’s zero

level / empty level.

b. This setting determines the 4mA location.

2. FILL-H (Fill-Height) - Distance from the bottom of the tank to the level of liquid where the tank is full is FILL-H.

a. The FILL-H is typically set to the liquid full level. b. This setting determines the 20 mA location. c. 20mA cannot be set within the sensor’s dead

band [8” (20cm) from bottom of sensor]. Largest FILL-H value will be as follows:

Largest FILL-H = HEIGHT – 8” (20cm)

ÉTAPE #1 - MESURER LE TANK

La mesure du réservoir est l'un des aspects les plus importants de la configuration du capteur. Lors de la mesure du réservoir, tenir compte de l'emplacement du capteur en ce qui concerne les raccords, les élévateurs, les dômes et les fonds, et identifier les mesures prises à partir du capteur. La hauteur du capteur est influencée par l'emplacement d'installation. Les capteurs montés le long de la partie inclinée du réservoir entraîneront une valeur inférieure (HAUTEUR). D'autre part, les capteurs installés dans les risers / buses entraîneront une valeur plus élevée (HAUTEUR).

Les mesures de base (Height et Fill-H) pour la configuration sont décrites ci-dessous :

1. HEIGHT (Hauteur du capteur) - Distance du fond du

réservoir au bas du capteur.

a. Le fond du réservoir correspondra au niveau zéro /

vide du capteur.

b. Ce paramètre détermine l'emplacement 4mA.

2. FILL-H (Fill-Height) - La distance du fond du réservoir au

niveau du liquide où le réservoir est plein est FILL-H.

a. Le FILL-H est généralement réglé sur le niveau

complet du liquide. b. Ce paramètre détermine l'emplacement de 20 mA. c. 20mA ne peut pas être réglé dans la bande morte

du capteur [8 "(20cm) du bas du capteur]. La plus

grande valeur FILL-H sera la suivante:

Le plus grand FILL-H = HEIGHT - 8 "(20cm)

5. Stand Pipe: A standpipe maybe used to dampen turbulence or when foam is present in the

application.

a) Pipe can be constructed from any material. b) Select a minimum 3” ID pipe or greater for the stand pipe.

i) Select a minimum 4” IS for the US12 series.

c) Use a coupling and reducer bushing to attach the

EchoTouch

to the pipe.

i) Use a reducer bushing such as LM52-2400 (3” Thread

x 2” Thread) fitting or the LM52-2410 (3” Slip x 2” Thread) fitting.

d) The pipe length should run the measurement span. The

bottom of the pipe should remain submerged at all times to prevent foam from entering the pipe.

e) Cut a 45° notch at the bottom of the pipe. Drill a

1/4”pressure equalization hole in the dead band.

f) The pumps should not drive liquid past the open end of the

stand pipe which causes the liquid in the pipe to oscillate.

Note: Never allow the bottom of the stand pipe to become exposed to air. This will break the liquid seal which will prevent echoes from returning back to the sensor.

Wiring Step Six

ANALOG OUTPUT (4-20 MA)

The analog output of the EchoTouch® is a loop powered 4-20 mA control circuit. The typical way to use this feature is to connect a positive supply to the (+) input and to sense the current flow out of the (-) output.

The cabling should be a shielded twisted pair to minimize EMI interference. Typically 20 to 24 gauge wire is used in this application.

SORTIE ANALOGIQUE (4-20 MA)

La sortie analogique de l'EchoTouch® est un circuit de contrôle 4-20 mA alimenté en boucle. Le moyen typique d'utiliser cette fonction est de connecter une alimentation positive à l'entrée (+) et de détecter le flux de courant sortant de la sortie (-).

Le câblage doit être une paire torsadée blindée pour minimiser les interférences EMI. Typiquement, le fil de calibre 20 à 24 est utilisé dans cette application.

WebCal® Appendix Section Seven

This section of WebCal

is where you select the sensor configuration settings. Start from the top and work to the bottom, choosing the selections that are applicable to your application. All configuration settings must be selected before you can continue to the next step.

SENSOR CONFIGURATION

LOOP FAIL-SAFE

This feature allows you to select the fail-safe current output if the sensor looses echo confidence (LOST). When the sensor regains echo confidence, the output current will revert back to the current level condition.

 Hold Last Value - The output will remain in the same state as

the last validated echo detected. Example: If the output was

6.7mA just prior to the lost signal, the sensor will continue to output 6.7mA until echo confidence is regained.

 Empty - The output will revert to the current value for an

empty condition. When 4 mA at Bottom is selected, the sensor will output 4 mA during a fail-safe condition. If 20 mA at Bottom is selected, the sensor will output 20 mA during a fail-safe condition.

 Full - The output will revert to the current value for a full

condition. When 4 mA at Bottom is selected, the sensor will output 20 mA during a fail-safe condition. If 20 mA at Bottom is selected, the sensor will output 4 mA during a failsafe condition.

 Overfill (21mA) - The sensor will output 21mA during a fail-

safe condition.

 Overfill (22mA) - The sensor will output 22mA during a fail-

safe condition.

OUTPUT AT EMPTY

This feature allows you to select the orientation of the 4 to 20mA output (4 to 20 mA or 20 to 4 mA). Choose which output setting best fits the application. Factory default is 4mA at bottom and 20mA at top, as this configuration scenario is an industry standard. When connecting your sensor to a display, you must account for

your output orientation setting.

 4mA at Bottom - The output current will be 4mA when the sensor measures an empty tank and 20mA

when the sensor measures a full tank.

 20mA at Bottom - The output current will be 20mA when the sensor measures an empty tank and 4mA

when the sensor measures a full tank.Note: Right click on any item to open the help menu.

SENSOR CONFIGURATION (CONTINUED)

STARTUP CONDITION

This feature allows you to select the startup current when power is first applied to the sensor. The sensor will consume the selected power while it is acquiring the liquid level. When the correct level has been identified, the output will adjust to the level output. Use this feature to avoid false alarms with the controller when power is first applied to the sensor.

 Empty - The current output will revert to the selected current

value for an empty condition.

o 4 mA at Bottom - The sensor will output 4 mA while

the sensor powers up.

o 20 mA at Bottom - The sensor will output 20 mA while

the sensor powers up.

 Mid Tank (12 mA) – The sensor will output 12 mA while the

sensor powers up.

 Full - The output will revert to the selected current value for a

full condition.

o 4 mA at Bottom - The sensor w ill outp ut 20 mA while

powering up.

o 20 mA at Bottom - The sensor will ou tput 4 mA w hile the

Appendix (WebCal) Section Seven

VOLUMETRIC CONFIGURATION

The sensor may be configured in volumetric units (Gallons or Liters) or Distance (Height of Liquid) units (inches, cm, feet or meters). WebCal default to Distance (Height of Liquid) with units of Inches. To change units or change from Distance to Volume, press the Volumetric Mode button as located near the center of the window.

Distance (Height of Liquid): When this is selected, the sensor will always output a linear output proportional to the height of liquid (regardless of the tank shape). In the two drawings below, the Sensor High is set to 64” and Fill-Height is set to 60”. If the tank is empty, the sensor will output 4mA. If the level is at 30”, then the sensor will output 12mA. Either tank can be configured with a display from 0” to 60” and the sensor will always output the height of liquid.

will

Volume: When volume is selected, the 4-20 mA output from the sensor will be proportional to the volume of the tank, not the height of the tank. This means that the current output will track the volume of the tank (in gallons or liters). Depending on the shape of the tank, the values may be a linear or non-linear scale. In the same examples below, the sensors are also configured with SH = 64” and FH = 60”. The current output in a linear tank will act as expected with volume increase matching equal changes to level. However, the current output in the Non-Linear tank will reflect the actual changes in volume. So even though the liquid height changes incrementally the same amount, the volume change will adjust throughout the entire span of the tank. The advantage of this is that sensor does all the math so you can read tank volume using a simple two-point display/controller such as the DataLoop

Linear Tank Example

™

LI25 series or DataView™ LI55 series.

Non-Linear Tank Example

Note: In the above illustration, 10” of liquid will

always be equal to 100 gallons of liquid (1” = 10 gallons).

Note: In the above illustration, 1” of liquid does not equal 10 gallons. The 10” at the bottom represents a rise of 62.8 gallons. As a change between 10” and 20” represents an increase of 109.6 gallons (i.e.

172.4 gallons – 62.8 gallons).

Next, use the file management features to save your configuration by clicking “Save Config File” and print your wiring diagram by clicking “Wiring Diagram.”

“Save Config File” will save this configuration as a text file which can be loaded back into WebCal® by pressing the “Open Config File” button. It is good practice to save the configuration file for each different configuration with a unique name for easy identification. If using multiple sensors in identical applications, then use of a single configuration file is recommended.

“Wiring Diagram” will display a PDF file showing the unique wiring for the specific configuration created in WebCal™. The PDF can be printed or emailed. It is good practice to save the wiring diagram as a backup

“Advanced” is a feature setting designed to help solve performance or operational issues for specific applications. Changing these setting will alter the factory default performance or operation, of your sensor.

 Increase Output Filtering: Placing a check mark in the box will increase the filtering (averaging) of the

analog output. Use this filter if the 4 to 20 mA output requires a smoother output for the application such as open channel flow measurement.

 Decrease Output Filtering: Placing a check mark in the box

will eliminate all filtering (averaging) of the analog output which enables a pulse by pulse level reading. Use this filter to see changes in level after every echo pulse.

Note: Never check increase output filtering and decrease output filtering at the same time.

 Stabilize Output in Dead Band: Placing a check mark in the box will activate a filter to hold the output

at Full if the level enters the dead band of the EchoPod

. This filter requires the level to leave the dead

band at a smooth and steady rate.

 Reduce Fast Level Jump Response Time: Changes the sensor’s response time from 60 seconds to

10 seconds. This filter prevents the sensor from making a quick jump in level if a false signal suddenly appears. Change the response time if application involves expected quick level changes.

 Increase LOST Response Time: Changes the sensor’s response time from 60 seconds to 180

seconds. This filter sets the time the sensor waits before entering a LOST state. Change the response time if you want to delay the sensor from stating LOST.

Display Appendix (continued) Section Eight

TROUBLESHOOTING

PROBLEM SOLUTION

Display shows EMPTY: Level of liquid is beyond the HEIGHT setting: Check the HEIGHT setting,

making sure the HEIGHT setting is low enough so the level of liquid is above the HEIGHT setting.

Display shows LOST: Sensor is in a Fail-Safe state. The return sound pulses are not reaching the

transducer. First, cycle power off and on, waiting 10 seconds between the off and on states. If problem persists, check the installation fitting against the Installation instructions in the manual.

Display shows WARMUP: WARMUP appears when power is being applied to transmitter and the sensor

cannot acquire a valid return signal. This is similar to LOST state. Make sure the liquid level is within the operational range configured within the transmitter (i.e. Level is not further than HEIGHT setting and not above the FILL-H setting). If problem persists, check the installation fitting against the Installation instructions in the manual as well as check for a weak power supply or bad

wire connections. Display is opposite of the measured value:

Check the DISPLAY setting. AIR mode indicates the distance from the liquid

to the sensor. LIQUID mode indicates the height of liquid in the tank. Change

the DISPLAY mode from AIR to LIQUID or vice versa to correct. Transmitter indicates a current of 0 mA: Transmitter jumps to a current reading between 19 and 20 mA:

Check the wiring for an open circuit. An open circuit is the most common issue

with a 0 mA signal.

Check the installation of the transmitter. Bad installation fittings will cause

false signals near the top of the tank, which typically translates to a signal

between 19 and 20 mA. Also look for interference just below the transmitter. If

the transmitter is installed in a metal fitting, switch to a plastic fitting. Transmitter indicates a current over 23 mA:

Immediately check the wiring for a short circuit. The Echotouch® is current

limited to 22 mA. Anything above 23 mA indicates a short circuit. No unit detected error 1 Both errors can occur when the Display is still plugged in when connecting to Data page read error 2 Data page read error X (X is any number greater than
