CONNECTIONS:
POWER INPUT: The standard model requires AC power input between 100 to 240 VAC 50/60Hz . No
adjustments are necessary for voltages within this range.
Optional DC input model requires 9-32 VDC/9 Watts. Connect to + and - terminals.
Optional Thermostat and Heater modules are available rated for 115 VAC or 230 VAC.
IMPORTANT NOTE: To comply with CSA/UL electrical safety standards, AC power input and relay
connection wires must have conduit entry to the instrument enclosure. Installation requires a switch,
overcurrent fuse or circuit breaker in the building (in close proximity to the equipment) that is marked
as the disconnect switch.
Risk of electric shock. Loosen cover screw to access connections. Only qualified personnel should
!
access connections.
Note: Use of instrumentation over 40°C ambient requires special field wiring.
Note: User replaceable fuse is 2 Amp 250V (T2AL250V).

MAIN DISP LAY
The main display shows the units selected from the Units/Mode menu, Level or
Range being measured and RELAY states.
MESSAGE ICON
Press from the MAIN display to view status of the data logger and
error/warning messages provided by the instrument. The Message icon will
blink on the MAIN display if error messages are being generated by the
instrument. Refer to the manual section Error/Warning Messages for a
description. Press to return to the main display.
STATUS
Press from the MAIN display to view instrument status. Range will be
displayed in linear units, for both the sonar and pressure sensors.
Range A Range measurement of PZ transducer.
Range B Equivalent range measurement of pressure transducer.
EC Displays echo confidence.
Relays Energized relays will display as a white character on a black
background.
RELAY RUN TIMES
Tracks run times of the six relays. Also indicates total down time of the ultrasonic
transducer.

distance from the sensor to the zero level during calibration, or to
monitor "outage" or free space in a tank.

Min Range Distance from the sensor face to highest expected level.
Max Range Distance from sensor to Zero level.
Damping Minimum damping allows fast response to level changes.
Increasing damping slows the PSL 5.0's response to level changes
and is ideal to smooth the display and outputs in turbulent
conditions. Damping value is shown in percent (0-99%). Some
experimentation may be required to select the optimum damping
value. A value of 1% is recommended for most applications. For
fast level changes (up to ½ inch/sec - 13 mm/sec), a Damping
value of 1% is recommended.
LOS Time Press and or to change the number of seconds without
receiving a level measurement from either the PZ or pressure
sensor before the PSL 5.0 displays ECHO LOSS, and Control
relays change state as calibrated under Relay Parameters.
Factory default is 30 seconds and is recommended for most
applications. Minimum is 1 second and maximum is 99 seconds.

CALIBRATION
Calibrate the PZ Sensor for Level Measurement
1. Before starting the calibration determine:
a) MAX RANGE = ________________
MAX RANGE
(Maximum range = distance from Sensor to Zero level)
4-20 mA input
sensor (pressure)
ZERO LEVEL
b) MAX LEVEL = ________________
(Maximum level of product being measured)
c) MIN RANGE = ________________
(Distance from sensor to Max Level)
Minimum range = MAX RANGE - MAX LEVEL
(must be at least 8" / 203 mm depending on sensor model)
2. Check the maximum range with the sensor installed by:
a) When liquid is at zero level press to view the Range reading in the
Status menu. Use this range measured by the PSL 5.0 as the Max Range
setting.
or
b) Carefully measure distance from sensor to zero level with a tape measure,
and use this measurement as the Max Range setting.
Redundant 4-20mA input (pressure) Sensor Installation and SelfCalibration
1. Install the redundant 4-20mA input sensor near the bottom of the well
according to manufacturer’s instructions and below the zero level.
2. Ensure that the PSL 5.0 with PZ sensor has been properly calibrated to
measure water level and is functioning properly.
3. Connect the 4-20mA redundant sensor to the PSL 5.0 SRC terminals when
the transmitter is loop-powered (24VDC power provided by the PSL 5.0) or
to SNC terminals when the 4-20mA transmitter is powered from another
source.
4. Operate the PSL 5.0 through several pump cycles to allow the 4-20mA input
sensor to self-calibrate.
5. Note: When 4-20mA input sensor has completed self-calibration the Message
window will indicate that Sensor B status is Good.

LOS mode Set the desired relay condition in the case that PSL cannot
obtain a level measurement or set relay to provide a LOS
alarm:
Off Sets Relay state to Off if PSL cannot obtain
level reading.
On Sets Relay state to On if PSL cannot obtain
level reading.
Hold Holds relay state if PSL cannot obtain level
reading.
Sensor B Acts as PZ sensor signal loss alarm when
Pump On and Off set to the same level.
Alarm will indicate whenever PSL is
operating off of the redundant 4-20mA
input (pressure) sensor.
Sen B Fault Acts as 4-20mA input sensor fault alarm
when Pump On and Off set to the same
level. Alarm will indicate fault of the 420mA input sensor.
