III. PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The UltraWave Series Ultrasonic System can monitor up to a total of 8 transducers of various frequencies,
accommodating multiple vessels of different heights and shapes.
The high scan rates of the UltraWave Series provide fast information updates on material level. The UltraWave
Series has an integral keyboard and a display that provide easy access for programming and allows the user to
input their own vessel identications. The enclosure is designed for rugged, outdoor applications and is wall-
mounted. The UltraWave Series is available in AC and DC powered versions.
OPERATING PRINCIPLE OF ULTRASONIC MEASUREMENT
The operating principle of ultrasonics is based on the reection of sound, which is used in many applications to
determine distance. The transducer sends out a sound pulse through the air and then receives an echo a short
time later. The time is carefully measured, allowing the distance to the reecting object to be determined.
SYSTEM APPLICATIONS
The UltraWave Series can be used in three ways:
1. Level
• Monitors level from up to 8 transducers.
• Can display volume or weight converted from level.
2. Flow
• Monitors up to 4 sensors.
• Measures ow using umes, weirs and nozzles
Note: The UltraWave Series can monitor level, with a maximum of 8 transducers.

IV. MECHANICAL INSTALLATION
GENERAL INSTALLATION GUIDELINES
• Aim the transducer perpendicular to the surface of liquids.
• Provide sufcient exible conduit at the transducer location to facilitate transducer aiming movement
and removal.
• Run transducer cable from the transducer to the junction box, and from the junction box to the controller
in dedicated grounded metal conduit or in cable tray. All cables connected to the same controller may be
routed in the same conduit.
WARNING: DO NOT RUN TRANSDUCER CABLE WITH ANY OTHER AC POWER WIRING.
MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS
To congure the full system, the following will need to be mounted and/or installed
1. Transducer into the tank or vessel
2. Temperature Probe (optional)
3. Junction Box
4. UltraWave Controller
MOUNTING TRANSDUCERS
For optimum results, a clear sound beam path between the transducer and the lowest level of material is
required. See Figure 2: Positioning Transducers for Optimum Results with Level Applications. When selecting a mounting
location for the transducer, follow these guidelines:
• Minimum distance from the transducer to any sidewall is the greater of the following:
— 1’ (0.30m) horizontal distance for each 10’ (3.0m) in vertical distance from the face of the transducer
to the zero level (no material in the vessel)
— 2’ (0.60m) horizontal distance
Note: For a very deep vessel with a small cross-section, it may be impossible to meet the above requirements.
• Transducer beam path is outside the path of the ll stream.
• Transducer beam path is away from splashing or agitating liquid or bouncing materials.
• Ladders, seams, rebar, etc. in the transducer beam path are avoided or eliminated.
• Transducer location is away from equipment which create vibration and noise that can interfere with the
operation of the system: dryers, motors, compressors, fans, blowers, air conditioning units, etc.
• Face of the transducer is above the maximum expected material level by a minimum of:
— 12” (305 mm) for 56T-25 transducers
— 24” (610 mm) for 56T-50 transducers
6
97-1163-01 Rev. D
Page 11
www.kistlermorse.com
This is required to avoid having material within the transducer’s blind space (amount of time required for
transducer vibration to decay to a level where ultrasonic measurement is possible).

www.kistlermorse.com
MOUNTING TEMPERATURE PROBE
Location Guidelines:
• Ensure that the temperature probe does not come in contact with the liquid during normal ll and during
overll conditions. The probe may be damaged if it comes in contact with the liquid during these
conditions.
• Temperature probe may be mounted pointing in any direction.
• Mount the temperature probe so that an average or representative air temperature in the vessel is read.
• Temperature probe has a 1/4” NPT mount. It can be mounted on the same ange with the transducer or
through use of a small bracket that will allow for a hanger type mounting within the vessel.
• Many users nd it convenient to mount the temperature probe near the transducer. If mounted in this
way, the temperature probe cable can be run through the same conduit as the transducer cable.
DRILLING HOLES IN THE ENCLOSURE
If the standard berglass NEMA 4X rated enclosure has no openings or pre-drilled punch-outs through which
to route cables or install the conduit, holes will need to be drilled. Hole location is critical for proper conduit
installation. Check clearances to ensure that the ttings and wire routing will not interfere with the PCB or
enclosure door.
PREPARE THE ENCLOSURE FOR CONDUIT
1. Open door of the enclosure.
2. Remove all four (4) mounting screws that attach the plate to the enclosure.
3. Remove entire frame, and place in a safe location.
4. Drill holes for wiring and cables. Holes should be made in the front 2 inches of the the bottom of the
enclosure (see Drawing SK90010); this allows for appropriate spacing for the unit and cables.
4.1. Make a hole for AC cable and relay wiring.
4.2. Make a hole for sensor cable.
4.3 Make a hole for 4-20mA wiring.
5. Clean enclosure of any debris; replace the plate back into the enclosure, using all four (4) mounting
screws.
6. Determine desired location for mounting the unit.
MOUNTING JUNCTION BOX
Mount the junction box close enough to the transducer to use the supplied 10’ (3.0 m) transducer cable without
splicing. Mount the junction box so that water cannot reach the terminal block.
1. See Figure 3: Junction Box Mounting and Wiring. Hold the junction box at the desired location and mark
the positions of the mounting holes. Place the junction box in a safe place.
8
97-1163-01 Rev. D

www.kistlermorse.com
2. Drill the mounting holes.
3. Attach the junction box using hardware that will secure it rmly in place.
Note: Mounting hardware for the junction box is not supplied by Kistler-Morse.
MOUNTING CONTROLLER
When mounting the controller, be sure there is enough clearance to open the front door completely. Removal and
insertion of the modular PCBs and wiring of the transducers and the PCBs are done through the front of the unit.
Do not mount the controller near high power equipment, contractors, SCR drives, 440 V lines, etc. The controller
enclosure dimensions are shown in Appendix E, Technical Drawings. Refer to Appendix A for environmental
specications before mounting the unit.
Follow this procedure to mount the controller:
1. Hold the controller enclosure against the wall in the desired location and mark the positions of the
mounting holes. Place the controller in a safe place.
2. Drill the mounting holes in the wall.
3. Attach the controller to the wall using hardware that will secure it rmly in place.
Note: Mounting hardware for the controller is not supplied by Kistler-Morse.

VI. SET-UP
SETTING SERIAL ADDRESSES
The controller will monitor up to 16 channels, with each channel having its own address. The SW2 switch,
located on the Display PCB inside the door of the controller, sets the base address for channel 1. See Figure 2-4:
SW2 on the Display PCB. The addresses for the remaining channels (if there is more than one) will automatically
be set in sequential order. For example, if the controller is monitoring 8 transducers and SW2 is set for address
8, channel 1 will be address 8, channel 2 will be address 9, channel 3 will be address 10, etc. The UltraWave
Series controller supports a total of 256 addresses (range of 0-255). Setting the starting address is done by
positioning the rocker-arm switches (S1 - S8) on SW2 to the binary equivalent of the address number. Figure 3-5:
Address Selections shows how the switches are set in binary sequence for the rst 16 (0 - 15) and last two (254
and 255) addresses. The UltraWave Series controller counts a block of eight serial addresses for each Scanner
PCB in the controller, even if you do not enable all channels on the Scanner PCB. If any math channels are
enabled, the math channel serial addresses begin after the block of monitoring channel addresses.
EXAMPLE:
The UltraWave Series controller has one Scanner PCB, with a total capacity of 8 monitoring channels, but you
enable only 7 monitoring channels. You enable channel 9, the rst available math channel. You set the base serial
address to 0. The serial addresses are:
• Addresses 0 through 6 for the monitoring channels
• Address 8 for the math channel
Note: Address 7 is not being used for the UltraWave Series controller.
Note: Setting the addressing dipswitch is not required unless you are using the serial port.

INSTALLING PCBS
The UltraWave Series controller arrives from Kistler-Morse with the specied PCBs installed. However, you can
expand your system. There are three positions on the motherboard of the controller that accept PCBs. Note the
following restrictions on PCB positions in the controller:
Position 1:
2-, 4-, or 8-channel Scanner PCB only
Refer to Appendix E and follow this procedure to install an optional PCB into the controller:
1. Open the door of the controller.
2. Turn off the UltraWave Series controller — the AC switch is in the upper right corner of the PCB.
3. Place the PCB in the designated position on the motherboard. Be sure the PCB connector inserts
completely into the motherboard connector.
4. Secure the PCB in place with the three screws supplied with the PCB.
5. Connect the eld wiring to the PCB.
6. Restore power to the controller. Close the door. Installation is complete.
If you change a 2-, 4-, or 8-channel Scanner PCB on the controller, you must use the Enable functions in the
Service Menu to bring the new channels on-line. Refer to Menu Descriptions for the use of those functions.
METHODS OF OPERATION
INTRODUCTION
The UltraWave Series controller has two modes of operation:
• Channel Monitoring — level (or other indication of vessel contents) is displayed. Channel monitoring has
two submodes:
— Auto/Scan displays information on each channel sequentially.
— Manual/Hold displays information on one channel.
The Up and Down Arrow Keys are used to manually scroll to other channels. Pressing the Scan/Hold Key
switches between Auto and Manual Modes.
• Menu Operation — system parameters for display, input/output, calibration, and troubleshooting can be
viewed and modied. Pressing the Menu Key while in Manual Mode accesses Menu Operation. Pressing
the Scan/Hold Key switches between Auto and Manual Modes.
DISPLAY AND KEYBOARD
The UltraWave Series controller display/keyboard panel has a liquid crystal display (LCD) made up of two
16-character lines and an integral, weather-sealed membrane keyboard. The LCD displays the vessel ID, material
level (or other indication of vessel contents), menu selections, and error messages. See Figure 7: Display and
Keyboard.
32
97-1163-01 Rev. D
Page 37
www.kistlermorse.com
The controller keyboard is used to access the different menus, scroll through the vessel monitoring display
screens, and enter setup and calibration parameters. The function of each key on the keyboard is described in
the sections to follow.
See Figure 7: Display and Keyboard
SCAN/HOLD KEY
When in RUN Mode, the controller displays the factory-set ID number (or the customer-dened ID, if input) and
Material Level, Range, or Flow. The controller display can be set up to scroll automatically through the display
screens for each channel (Auto Mode) or remain xed on a selected channel (Manual Mode). The Scan/Hold Key
toggles between Auto and Manual Modes:
• When the controller is in the Auto Mode, the display remains on a channel for a preset period of time
before scrolling to the next channel. The preset display time can be changed to suit the operator needs,
using the Display Scan Time function (see Chapter 6, Display Menu). The Auto LED to the right of the
LCD is illuminated when the controller is in the Auto Mode.
• When the UltraWave Series is in the Manual Mode, the display remains xed on a selected channel and
must be scrolled manually with the Up Arrow and Down Arrow Keys to display information on another
channel. The Auto LED is off when the controller is in the Manual mode.
The Scan/Hold Key is also used to exit any function in the menu tree and return the display to the RUN Mode.
UP ARROW AND DOWN ARROW KEYS
The Up Arrow and Down Arrow Keys are used to manually scroll the display through the channels when the
controller is in the Manual Mode. These keys are also used to scroll to desired values when in the menu tree,
entering setup and calibration parameters.
MENU KEY
Pressing the Menu Key accesses the Main Menu.

When the controller is in the Manual Mode, pressing the “.” key briey displays the current controller software
revision letter and the date of the release.
The “.” key also functions as a decimal point when entering numbers in the math channel.
ALPHANUMERIC KEYS AND SHIFT KEY
The Alphanumeric Keys (also referred to as the keypad) are used to input numeric parameters during setup and
calibration and customer-dened IDs.
The Shift LED is located below the Auto LED on the faceplate. Pressing the Shift Key toggles the Shift LED on
and off. The effect is described below:
• Shift LED not illuminated — pressing an Alphanumeric Key types the number shown on the key.
•
Shift LED illuminated — pressing an Alphanumeric Key types a letter labeled above the key. Pressing the
key repeatedly toggles the display through the three letters labeled above the key. When the desired letter
is displayed, pressing the Enter Key or a different Alphanumeric Key advances the cursor one space to
the right. See Figure 8: Characters Available for Customer-Dened ID.
Enter Key
The Enter Key has several functions:
• The Enter Key is used to save in memory any parameter set up in the menus. For example, if you enter
an operating span value in the Main/Calibration/Span Menu, pressing the Enter Key saves it to memory.
The value remains in memory until a new value is entered.
• When entering a vessel ID, the Enter Key advances the cursor one space to the right.
• When the UltraWave Series controller is vessel monitoring in Manual Mode, pressing the Enter Key
toggles the display from numerical format to bar graph format. The display remains in the bar graph
format (even when the controller is turned off and back on again) until the Enter Key is pressed to toggle
back to the numerical format.
SENSOR KEY
The Sensor Key allows you to copy parameters to a different channel while remaining in a particular menu function.
For example, assume the display is showing this screen for channel 2 under the Main/Calibration/Span Menu:
Operating Span
> 25.0 ft
Note: The Sensor Key only works if you are at the “end” of a menu; i.e., where the screen allows you to enter a
value or select from a list of choices on the display. If you press the Sensor Key, the display changes to:

OPERATING THE ULTRAWAVE SERIES IN LEVEL APPLICATIONS
INTRODUCTION
The UltraWave Series is designed to get you up and running quickly once the system is installed. The controller
guides you through the Startup Procedure. See Figure 11: Startup Procedure Diagram. During the Startup
Procedure, you will be asked to input a number of parameters, including:
•
Tank Height: The distance from the full point to the point where the vessel is considered empty. Material
level changes within this range are displayed by the UltraWave Series controller. See Figures 12 and 13.
Note: The maximum distance a transducer can measure depends on its frequency and the type of liquid in the
vessel. Entering a value for Operating Span greater than the transducer’s capability may cause erratic reading.
Note: See Calibration Menu for a description of the full point.

CALIBRATION MENU
This section provides a general overview of the Calibration Menu. The Startup Procedure got your system up and
running. The Calibration Menu is used to enter setup and calibration parameters if your application requires a more
detailed set up, and/or to modify parameters you originally entered during startup.
21 PRIM (PRIMARY ELEMENT)
The primary element type and size were selected during the Startup Procedure. The Prim Menu allows you to
display and modify the primary element type and size. The primary element type choices are:
• Flum (ume) — Parshall, Palmer-Bowlus, Leopold-Lagco, Trapezoidal, and Other
• Weir — Rectangular (with and without end contractions), V-Notch, Cipolletti, and Other
• Nozz (nozzle) — Kennison
22 ZERO
The Zero Menu allows you to display and modify the Auto or Manual calibration parameters.
The Auto parameters are:
• Max Head — The maximum head for your primary element, available from the ow chart supplied by the
primary element manufacturer.
48
97-1163-01 Rev. D
Page 53
www.kistlermorse.com
•
Curr Head — The current head; to perform an accurate calibration, measure this just before you input the value.
• Zero Dist — The distance from the face of the transducer to the bottom of the channel. Zero Dist shown on
the display is a calculated value, the sum of Curr Head and the distance measured by the transducer from the
face of the transducer to the liquid surface. Zero Dist is shown for information only and cannot be modied
while in Auto calibration.
The Manual parameters are:
• Max Head — The maximum head for your primary element, available from the ow chart supplied by the
primary element manufacturer.
• Zero Dist — The measured distance from the face of the transducer to the bottom of the channel.
The numbers shown upon entry into these menus show the current values for the displayed channel. Modication of
any of the calibration values is performed by direct entry using the keypad or by using the Arrow Keys to scroll to a
number. When the desired number is shown, pressing the Enter Key registers the new value in memory.
23 SIM (SIMULATE)
This menu allows you to input a simulated head and display the corresponding ow, so that you can check the ow
calculation against the ow values provided by the primary element manufacturer.
When in the Sim Menu, a prompt, asks I/O Follows Sim?. If you select Yes, the setpoints, current output, etc.
respond to the simulated value as if it was the actual value. If you select No, the setpoints, current output, etc. are
not affected by the simulation.
The display then shows the last Simulated Head input. Modication of the Simulated Head is performed by direct
entry using the keypad or by using the Arrow Keys to scroll to a number. When the desired number is shown,
pressing the Enter Key registers the Simulated Head in memory and initiates the simulation. The display then shows
the corresponding Simulated Flow. Pressing the Esc Key exits the Sim Menu.
24 Unit
The ow rate and total ow units and format were selected during the Startup Procedure. This menu allows the
ow rate (Flow) and total ow (Total) units and format to be displayed and modied.
When in each submenu, an asterisk on the display indicates the current selection. Pressing the Function Key (F1,
F2, or F3 Key) directly below the desired selection on the display registers it in memory.
25 AVG (AVERAGE)
This menu is used to set the number of individual readings (from 1 to 255) that the controller averages for each
display reading while vessel monitoring. The controller calculates a running average. The larger the number
of individual readings in the running average, the smaller effect a variation in signal will have on the average.
This results in fewer variations on the display reading and an easier to read display. Avg affects the value seen
on the display as well as setpoints, current outputs, and serial outputs. The default value for Avg is 10 for ow
applications.
The number shown upon entry into this menu is the channel’s current averaging factor. This number can be
modied by using the Up and Down Arrow Keys or by direct entry with the Alphanumeric Keys. When the
desired number is shown, pressing the Enter Key saves the new value.

26 RESET
The ReSet Menu allows you to reset calculated ow values:
• Minimum ow (MinF) — reset to the current ow rate
• Maximum ow (MaxF) — reset to the current ow rate
• Total ow (Tot) — reset to 0
The ReSet function is useful if you want to monitor total ow and minimum and maximum ows on a regular
basis (for example, you want to track daily total ow and daily minimum and maximum ows).
29 TEMP (TEMPERATURE)
This menu sets up the temperature compensation parameters. Temp has three submenus: FixT, Mon, and Scale.
FIXT (FIXED TEMPERATURE)
FixT allows you to enter a xed temperature, usually to match the temperature inside the vessel where the
transducer is operating. The controller then adjusts the speed of sound in the calculations to correspond to that
temperature. FixT has two submenus:
• If you select Yes, enter the xed temperature.
• If you select No, the controller disables the xed temperature function. If you have a temperature
compensation probe, the controller uses the probe’s temperature data to adjust the speed of sound in
the calculations. If there is no probe, the controller uses the speed of sound at the default temperature.
MON (MONITOR)
Mon lets you monitor the temperature (Temp), the A to D counts (ADC), and the minimum and maximum
temperature (MinT and MaxT) since the last reset. The value for Temp is based on the following:
• If you selected Yes for FixT, the temperature that you entered in that menu displays for Temp.
• If you selected No for FixT and there is no temperature compensation probe, the default temperature
displays for Temp. If there is a temperature compensation probe, the measured temperature displays for
Temp.
To reset MinT to the current temperature, press the Enter Key while in the MinT function. To reset MaxT to the
current temperature, press the Enter Key while in the MaxT function.
SCALE
Scale lets you select Celsius (°C), Fahrenheit (°F), or Kelvin (°K) as the temperature scale for entering a
temperature (in FixT) and monitoring the temperature in Mon.

The Display Menu is used to set up the parameters that govern the display functions when channel monitoring.
This section covers the functions in the Display Menu. Explanations of each of the functions are provided.
Unless otherwise noted, the display function for each channel (such as ID) can be set differently. The
descriptions below for each function note those that are global in nature and that affect the display for all
channels.
As shown in Figure 19, the Display Menu has eight submenus.

14 VESSEL ID
During the Startup Procedure for the UltraWave Series, you input a customer-dened ID for each channel. This
menu allows you to later change the customer-dened ID.
The UltraWave Series controller arrives from Kistler-Morse with a factory-set ID number assigned for each
channel in the system. Note that after you have input a customer-dened ID, you can still view the original
factory-set ID when vessel monitoring in the Manual Mode by pressing the Esc Key.
15 DISPLAY SCAN TIME
When the controller is in the Auto Mode this menu allows you to choose the amount of time the controller
displays vessel monitoring information before scrolling to the next channel (It is not the internal scantime.)
Scantime can be set to 1 second, 2 seconds, or 5 seconds. The current selection is indicated by an asterisk.
The value for Scan Time is selected while in the menu tree for any channel, and applies to all of the channels in the system.
16 BAR GRAPH
You can choose to view a numerical display or a bar graph of a vessel’s contents while vessel monitoring. The
maximum span for the bar graph (Span) is set and the bar graph option for the display is turned on and off
(Enable) in this menu.
The bar graph displays the level as a numerical percentage to the left of the graph, as shown below:
01 43
50% |||||||
The 0% point of the bar graph is always 0. The 100% point of the bar graph is set by direct entry in the Span
menu using the Alphanumeric Keys or by scrolling to the desired value with the Up and Down Arrow Keys.
For example, entering the vessel’s maximum level of 100’ as the BarS value results in a bar graph with 0%
corresponding to 0 feet and 100% corresponding to 100’.
If the level reading goes above the Span value, the graph remains at 100% and the numerical percentage reects
the actual level. For example, if the Span value is 100’ and the actual level is 120’, the numerical percentage
52
97-1163-01 Rev. D

displayed is 120% while the graph remains at 100%.The default for the display is bar graph Off (bar graph not
displayed when vessel monitoring). The current selection for Enable is indicated by an asterisk.
If enabled, the bar graph displays for the channel while channel monitoring in both Manual and Auto Modes.
While in Manual Mode, pressing the Enter Key toggles the display between bar graph and numerical display.
17 CONTRAST
The contrast of the display is adjusted in this menu. The Up and Down Arrow Keys are used to make
adjustments. The display contrast changes immediately as you make the adjustments. When the desired results
are attained, pressing the Enter Key saves the new value.
The value for Contrast is selected while in the menu tree for any channel, and applies to all of the channels in the
system.
18 BRIGHTNESS
The brightness of the display is adjusted in this menu. This menu is functional only with the purchase of the
Backlight option.
The displayed number ranges from 0 (darkest) to 255 (lightest). The default value is 127. The Up and Down Arrow
Keys are used to make adjustments. The display brightness changes immediately as you make the adjustments.
When the desired results are attained, pressing the Enter Key saves the new value.
The value for Brightness is selected while in the menu tree for any channel, and applies to all of the channels in
the system.
20 CALIBRATION
Most users leave Full Point at zero.
Note: The transducer has a blind space near its face where there are mechanical limitations that prevent
detecting a target. The UltraWave Series controller comes defaulted with a minimum range equal to the blind
space for the transducer. If you leave Full Point at its default of 0 or enter a Full point less than Minimum Range,
be aware that the UltraWave Series will not detect or report levels at the top of the Span.

21 FULL POINT
Refer to Figure 12. Full Point is the distance from the face of the transducer to the top of the Span. Modifying Full
Point allows you to change the point of reference for measurement. If you add 1’ to Full Point you are essentially
moving the Span down 1’. If you take 1’ away from Full Point, you are essentially pulling the span up 1’. The
default value for Full Point is 0 (i.e., the Span begins at the face of the transducer).
The number shown upon entry into this menu shows the current Full Point for the displayed channel.
Modication of Full Point is performed by direct entry using the Alphanumeric Keys or by using the Arrow Keys
to scroll to a number. When the desired number is shown, pressing the Enter Key registers the new Full Point in
memory.
22 SPAN
Refer to Figure 12. The Span was entered during the Startup Procedure. The Span is displayed and modied in
this menu. Span is the distance from the Full Point to the point where the vessel is considered empty. Material
level changes within this range are displayed by the transducer.
The number shown upon entry into this menu shows the current Span for the displayed channel. Modication of
Span is performed by direct entry using the Alphanumeric Keys or by using the Arrow Keys to scroll to a number.
When the desired number is shown, pressing the Enter Key registers the new Span in memory.
The system also performs a test to insure that the span and Full Point do not exceed the maximum range.
Note: The UltraWave Series controller calculated the default value for maximum range as 120% of the Span
input in the Startup Procedure. If you enter a Full Point or change the Span, the controller checks the (Span +
Full Point) to see if it’s less than the Maximum Range. If this requirement is not met, the controller rejects the
new Full Point or Span and displays an error message. To enter the desired Full Point or Span, rst increase
Maximum Range and then enter Full Point or Span. See Figure 10d: Range/Filters Menu.
24 AVERAGE
This menu is used to set the number of individual readings (from 1 to 255) that the controller averages for each
display reading while vessel monitoring. The controller calculates a running average. The larger the number of
individual readings in the running average, the smaller affect a variation in signal will have on the average. This
results in fewer variations on the display reading and an easier to read display. Average affects the value seen on
the display as well as set points, current outputs, and serial outputs. The default value for Average is 5.
The number shown upon entry into this menu is the channel’s current averaging factor. This number can be
modied by using the Up and Down Arrow Keys or by direct entry with the Alphanumeric Keys. When the
desired number is shown, pressing the Enter Key saves the new value.

25 TEMPERATURE
This menu sets up the temperature compensation parameters. Temperature has three submenus: Fixed, Monitor,
and Scale.
FIXED (FIXED TEMPERATURE)
• Fixed allows you to enter a xed temperature, usually to match the temperature inside the vessel where
the transducer is operating. The controller then adjusts the speed of sound in the calculations to
correspond to that temperature. Fixed has two submenus:
– If you select Yes, the controller asks for the xed temperature.
– If you select No, the controller disables the xed temperature function. If you have a temperature
compensation probe, controller uses the probe’s temperature data to adjust the speed of
sound in the calculations. If there is no probe, the controller uses the speed of sound at the
default temperature.
MON (MONITOR)
Mon lets you monitor the temperature (Temp), the A to D counts (ADC), and the minimum and maximum
temperature (MinT and MaxT) since the last reset. The value for Temp is based on the following:
• If you selected Yes for FixT, the temperature that you entered in that menu displays for Temp.
• If you selected No for FixT and there is no temperature compensation probe, the default temperature
displays for Temp. if there is a temperature compensation probe, the measured temperature displays for
Temp.
To reset MinT to the current temperature, press the Enter Key while in the MinT function. To reset MaxT to the
current temperature, press the Enter Key while in the MaxT function.
SCALE
Scale lets you select Celsius (°C), Fahrenheit (°F), or Kelvin (°K) as the temperature scale for entering a
temperature (in FixT) and monitoring the temperature in Mon.
26 LINEARITY
Linearization tables allow us to compensate for vessels that do not have a linear relationship between level
and weight (or level and volume). For example, the vessel has a cone bottom, and we are interested in weight
or volume information instead of level information. An increase in the level does not produce a proportionate
increase in weight or volume, because of the shape of the vessel.
The UltraWave Series has the capability to linearize up to 32 points. The more points of linearization you provide,
the more accurate the system will be. Linearity has four submenus:
•
Set — allows you to set the values for the linearization. For each point, you enter a input and an output value.
• Default — changes the values in the linearization table back to the default values. Note that for the
default condition the input and output values are identical. Therefore, for the default condition the
linearization table has no effect on the UltraWave Series, even if linearization is enabled.
97-1163-01 Rev. D
55
Page 60
www.kistlermorse.com
• Enable — turns linearization on and off.
• Number of points — allows you to select the number of points to input for the linearization (32 maximum
points).
Contact Kistler-Morse for technical assistance in calculating linearization parameters. 27 Speed O Sound
The Speed O Sound Menu allows you to monitor and adjust the value for the speed of sound, which is used by
the UltraWave Series controller in the calculation of range. The default value for speed of sound is based on the
sound pulse traveling through air. At 68° F [20° C], the speed of sound is approximately 1127 ft/sec [344 m/sec].
Note that the controller automatically adjusts the speed of sound for temperature based on the information from
the temperature probe (if installed) or the xed temperature input (see Chapter 5, Calibration Menu). In the Speed
O Sound Menu, an adjustment is made based on the medium of sound travel — the material that the pulse is
traveling through above the material actually being measured. Speed O Sound has three submenus:
• Automatic Entry — this menu allows you to input a correction distance for the speed of sound. For
example, if you know there is 3 feet of material in the vessel but the controller is displaying 4.2 feet
because the medium is not standard air, input 3.0 ft for Auto. The controller takes that distance and uses
it to automatically calculate a correction factor, in percent, for the speed of sound.
• Manual Entry — this menu allows you to input a correction factor, in percent, for the speed of sound. For
example, if the speed of sound through the medium is only 95% of the speed of sound in air, enter 95%
for Manual Entry.
• Monitor — this menu allows you to view the current value for speed of sound.
Note: Kistler-Morse recommends this only be changed by authorized personnel.
28 TPP (TRANSMISSIONS PER POINT)
In a multipoint system for liquids, TPP sets the number of transmissions on each point prior to advancing to the
next channel. For a vessel with rapidly changing conditions, it can be helpful to send out several transmissions
in a row to get an accurate reading before the controller moves on to the next channel. TPP can range from 1 to
255. The default is 1.
30 RELAY SET PT
The setpoint value is the measured value where you wish a device (for example, a pump) to activate or
deactivate. The setpoint setup functions for each channel are accessed in this menu. They include adding
and deleting set points and selecting activation values, high or low activation, deadband values, and fail-
safe parameters. In addition, for ow applications, set point setup includes selecting what parameter triggers
activation (ow, head, total, time, or temperature) and the amount of time for pulse activation.

The Relay Set Pt section denes each of the parameters.
31 REPORT
When this menu is accessed, the display shows all setpoints assigned to the current channel. A typical display
looks like this:
SP2 Output Chan
Slot 03 Chan # 02
• SP2 is the setpoint label.
• Slot 03 is the slot number where the Relay Output PCB resides.
• Chan # 02 is the relay channel of the setpoint on the Relay Output PCB.
Pressing any key other than the Esc or Scan/Hold Key cycles through the reports for all other assigned setpoints
for this channel.
32 SET
This menu is used to select the setpoint to be set up for the displayed channel. Setpoints can be established for
monitoring channels and also for math channels. Up to eight setpoints can be assigned per channel, labeled SP1
for setpoint 1 through SP8 for setpoint 8.
Set has four submenus for level and ve submenus for ow:
• Value — once you have selected a setpoint to set up, the activation value, the point where the setpoint
relay changes state, can be entered. This value is entered directly with the Alphanumeric Keys or
scrolled to with the Arrow Keys. The “-“ Key is used to toggle between the positive and negative value of
the number entered.
• Dead — the deadband value determines the point at which a setpoint relay returns to its normal on/off
state after the relay has been activated. The deadband value equals the change in the measured
parameter before the setpoint relay returns to its normal state. Kistler-Morse recommends the use of a
non-zero deadband to prevent relays from oscillating. The value is entered directly or scrolled to with the
Arrow Keys.
• Hi/Lo — setpoint relays can be congured to change state either above (Hi) or below (Lo) the setpoint
value (Value).
• Echo Loss Mode — if the UltraWave Series detects an echo loss that lasts longer than a threshold time,
one of three fail-safe conditions can be applied to a setpoint: On, Off, No Change. The On setting
energizes the setpoint. The Off setting de-energizes the setpoint and the No Change setting means no
change is made to the setpoint condition. No Change is the default.
• Mode — (Flow Only) This menu sets up how the setpoint relays are going to be activated and used.
There are ve choices for Mode:
1. Flow relay activation is based on the ow rate - for example, CFS, GPS, etc. With this selection the relay
can be programmed to control a dosing pump for a chlorine system or pace a wastewater sampler.
2. Head relay activation allows the relay to be activated based on the head (level)- for example, ft, in, m, etc.
3. Rate relay activation is based on total ow - for example CF, GL, etc. With this selection, the relay can
97-1163-01 Rev. D
57
Page 62
www.kistlermorse.com
be programmed to pulse a remote totalizer or telemetry system. OnTm (ow applications only) - if you
want the relay to pulse once it is activated, this menu sets up how long the relay pulses. Setting OnTm to
0 turns off the pulsing function.
4. Time relay activation is based on time. For example, every 90 minutes a relay will change status to
pace a wastewater sampler based on time.
5. If a temperature compensation probe is used with the transducer, Tmp relay activation sets up the
relay or setpoint to activate on temperature changes.
Note: See Figure 10c: Transducer Menu for information on setting the threshold time for echo loss.
Figure 22: Set Point Example
Example: Following is an example of the use of Val, Dead, and Hi/Lo for a level application.
• A vessel with a 20’ Span operating in Material Level mode has Value for setpoint 1 (SP1) set at 19’. The
Hi/Lo function is set to Hi and the deadband (Dead) is set at 2’. When the contents exceeds 19’, the
setpoint energizes, activating a pump to remove material from the vessel. The pump continues to
operate until the setpoint de-energizes at a level of 17’ (19’ minus the 2’ deadband).
• This vessel has Value for setpoint 2 (SP2) set at 3’. The Hi/Lo function is set to Lo and the deadband
(Dead) is set at 1’. When the contents go below 3’, the setpoint energizes, activating a pump to ll the
vessel. The pump continues to operate until the setpoint de-energizes at a level of 4’ (3’ plus the 1’
deadband).
33 ADD (THE RELAY IS ADDED TO THE CHANNEL DISPLAY PRIOR TO ENTERING THE MENU)
This menu is used to add setpoint channels (up to eight) for the current channel. Note that the setpoint must be
added before the Set parameters (Val, Dead, etc.) can be input. The bottom line of the display shows the slot
number of the Relay Output PCB and the channel number for the rst available setpoint on the Relay Output
PCB. Pressing the Up and Down Arrow Keys cycles through all other unassigned setpoint channels. Pressing the
Enter Key adds the setpoint.
34 DELETE
This menu allows previously added setpoint channels to be removed from the current channel. The top line of the
display shows an assigned setpoint number. The bottom line shows the slot number of the Relay Output PCB
and the channel number for the setpoint on the Relay Output PCB. To delete a setpoint channel, cycle through
58

the setpoints by pressing the Up and Down Arrow Keys until the setpoint you want to delete is displayed. Then,
press the Enter Key.
Caution: Manually activating setpoint relays may cause damage if control equipment is connected. Disconnect
any control equipment before proceeding.
35 TEST
This menu allows you to turn the setpoint relays on and off for test purposes. The controller displays a warning
that the automatic control of the setpoints assigned to the currently selected channel is transferred to manual
control, and requests verication that this is what you want to do.
A typical setpoint test display looks like this:
SP 01 :Sl 02: Ch1
F3 To Toggle: On
• SP 01 is the current setpoint reference number (referred to as SP1 when you added it in the Set Point
Relay Menu).
• SL 02 is the slot number of the setpoint PCB.
• Ch1 is the channel number of the setpoint on the Relay Output PCB. Each Relay Output PCB has eight
individual channels.
• F3 to Toggle turns relay on and off
• On or Off indicates the current status of the setpoint.
Pressing the Up and Down Arrow Keys or the Enter Key toggles the display between the setpoints for the current
channel.
Pressing the Esc Key or Scan/Hold Key terminates the test. Once the test is terminated, the setpoints return to
automatic control.
36 AUTO ASSIGN
Automatically assigns one relay per active channel.
37 DEFAULT
Unassigns all relays.
40 I-OUTPUT (IF MENU 31 DOES NOT SHOW RELAYS, GO TO MENU 33 TO ADD A RELAY)
The I-Output Menu is used to enter parameters for current outputs (4-20 mA, 0-20 mA). This chapter covers
the functions in the I-Output Menu. Explanations of each of the functions are provided. Additionally, detailed
navigation procedures through the menu tree are provided for the setpoint and current output functions.

Current output is typically used to retransmit continuous level/ow data to a remote display or PLC/Distributed
Control System (DCS). The current output setup functions are accessed in this menu. The functions include
adding and deleting outputs, and selecting fail-safe and operating modes. Up to two sets of current outputs can
be assigned per channel.
Figure 23: Output Menu Tree
41
Report
When this menu is accessed, the display shows the current outputs assigned to the displayed channel. The
top line of the display shows an assigned output number; the bottom line shows the slot number of the Current
Output PCB and the channel number for the current output on the Current Output PCB. Pressing any key other
than Esc or Scan/Hold toggles between the assigned current output channels. A typical display looks like this:
ONLY Output Chan
Slot 03 Chan # 1
42 SET
This menu is used to select the current outputs, assign values to determine the points where the transmitter
outputs the currents, and dene fail-safe conditions for the current outputs. Current outputs can be established
for monitoring channels and also for math channels. Set has three submenus for level and four submenus for
ow applications.
• 4/0mA — the 4/0mA Menu sets the low current (4 mA or 0 mA) operation point. The value entered
determines the point where the transmitter outputs the minimum current. For example, if 10’ is entered
as the low current operation parameter and the Mode function is set to 4-20 mA operation, when the
displayed level is less than or equal to 10’, the current output transmits 4 milliamps.
• 20mA — the 20mA Menu sets the high current (20 mA) operation point. The value entered determines
the point where the transmitter outputs the maximum current. For example, if 50’ is entered, the current
output transmits 20 milliamps when level is greater than or equal to 50’.
• Echo Loss Mode — if the UltraWave Series detects an echo loss that lasts longer than a threshold time,
one of three fail-safe conditions can be applied to a current output: Lo, Hi, No Change. The Lo setting
forces the current output to be 0 (in 0-20 mA operating mode) or 4 mA (in 4-20 mA operating mode) in a
fail-safe condition. The Hi setting forces the output to be 20 mA. The No Change setting means no
change is made to the current output in a fail-safe condition (i.e., whatever was being transmitted before
the problem was detected will continue to be transmitted). No Change is the default. A fail-safe condition
remains in effect until the echo loss ends. Note that when the UltraWave Series is in echo loss, the echo
loss is indicated on the display with an asterisk (*).

the 20 mA operation point.
Note: See Figure 10c: Transducer Menu, for information on setting the threshold time for echo loss.
43 ADD
This menu is used to add current output channels (up to two) to the displayed vessel. Note that the current
output must be added before the Set parameters can be input.
The top line of the display shows the rst available current output. The bottom line shows the slot number of the
Current Output PCB and the channel number for the current output on the Current Output PCB. Pressing the Up
and Down Arrow Keys cycles through all other unassigned current output channels. Pressing the Enter Key adds
the current output channel.44 Delete
This menu allows previously added current outputs to be removed from the displayed channel. The top line of
the display shows an assigned current output number. The bottom line shows the slot number of the Current
Output PCB and the channel number on the Current Output PCB.
To delete a current output, cycle through the current outputs by pressing the Up and Down Arrow Keys until
the one you want to delete is displayed; then press the Enter Key. To prevent accidental deletion, the display
requests verication that you want to delete the current output channel. If the response is Yes, then I/O
CHANNEL DELETED displays to conrm the channel deletion. This current output channel is now available for
use again.
45 TEST
This function allows manual activation of current output channels outside of normal control. The system issues a
warning that the automatic control of current outputs assigned to the currently selected channel is transferred to
manual control, and requests verication for what you want to do.
After the warning message, if more than one 0/4-20 has been assigned for this vessel, a selection of the two 0/4-
20 channels is offered. After you select a 0/4-20 channel, a typical 0/4-20 Test function display looks like this:
Iout 1 :SL 03: Ch1
4mA: (Up/Down)
• Iout02 is the current 0/4-20 channel reference number. All actions performed are with respect to this
number.
• SL 03 is the slot number of the Current Output PCB.
• Ch1 is the channel number on the Current Output PCB. Each Current Output PCB has eight multiplexed
current output channels.
• 0-4mA is the current that is being sent to the 0/4-20 channel being tested. If the current mode is
0-20mA, the test current output ranges from 0 mA to 20 mA in 2 mA steps. If in the 4-20mA mode, the
test current output ranges from 4 mA to 20 mA in 2 mA steps.
• More or Less refers to the increase (More) or decrease (Less) of the output. Pressing the up arrow key
increases the output in 2 mA steps; pressing the down arrow key decreases the output in 2 mA steps.

50 SERIAL/PLC
The Serial/PLC Menu is used to set up serial communications through the microprocessor COM port between
the UltraWave Series and external equipment, such as:
• PLC with a BASIC Module or a similar communication device
The controller can only be the slave to external equipment. The controller has one COM port for serial communications.
Refer to Appendix E for information on how to serially connect the controller to various external equipment.
51 SHOW ADDRESS
This parameter shows the current serial address of the displayed channel.
52 BAUD RATE
The UltraWave Series controller’s built-in serial communications settings are 8 data bits, 1 stop, no parity.
These values are xed, and cannot be modi ed by the user. The baud rate can be modi ed by the user. When
connecting the controller to external equipment, all of the serial communications settings must match for the
equipment to communicate. As necessary, modify the default setting for baud rate of the UltraWave Series
controller. Modify the data bits, stop, and parity settings in the external equipment to match the controller’s built-
in settings. There are ve baud rates (bits per second) available: 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600 (default), 19.2K

97-1163-01 Rev. D
63
Page 68
www.kistlermorse.com
Figure 24: Transducer Menu Tree
61 FREQUENCY
Frequency has three submenus:
• Target — under Target, the target frequency of the transducer set up for the current channel is displayed
and can be modi ed. For example, a 56T-25PT Transducer has a ‘nominal’ frequency of 43 KHz, but the
actual default frequency is 43.5 KHz. Small modi cations of the target frequency can sometimes improve
the performance of the system.
• Monitor — this parameter allows you to view the frequency that the transducer for the current channel is
actually transmitting and receiving. It usually does not exactly equal the Target value, but is very close.
• Select — under Select, the transducer type for the current channel can be displayed and changed (you
may need to change it if you made an error during the Startup Procedure or have changed the
transducer). The model number of the transducer corresponds to the transducer type: Refer to the
model number of the transducer for the proper selection.
63 POWER
Power de nes the amount of output transmission power the controller utilizes. The range is 0 to 100%. The
default value is variable depending on quick con guration settings.
64 DELAY
Delay allows you to set up a transmission delay for the transducers. Delay is the amount of time between
transmit signals from the UltraWave Series. Increasing Delay may be useful if you have a target (such as a liquid)
that causes a lot of bouncing of signals. Delaying the next transmit signal allows the noise from the bouncing to
dissipate before the next signal is transmitted.
Note: Delay is typically used only for a single-channel system.
65 TVG (TIME VARIED GAIN)
TVG adjusts the UltraWave Series ability to pick up return echoes. When material is close to the transducer,
the sound energy in the return echo is very high and the time for the return echo to reach the transducer is very
short. As the level in the vessel decreases, the sound energy decreases and the time for the return echo to reach
the transducer increases. Gain can be used to amplify the return echo, to allow a low energy echo (caused by
low material level) to be picked up. However, if the gain is left continuously at a high setting to provide accurate
tracking of low material levels, it will also result in ampli cation false echoes. This can also cause the transducer
to pick up its own transmission burst as a return echo from a full vessel, resulting in lockup of the level display at
64
97-1163-01 Rev. D
Page 69
www.kistlermorse.com
the vessel full point. TVG affects the sensitivity of the system in detecting return echoes by amplifying the return
signal in relation to the time it takes the signal to reach the transducer (which is related to the distance from
transducer to measured material). TVG has eight submenus:
• High Limit is the highest value the TVG will go in an effort to achieve an echo above the echo
threshold (Echo) and below the peak threshold (Peak). The range for High Limit is from 0 to 200.00%. The
default value is a function of the Span entered during the Startup Procedure.
• Low Limit sets the low limit for the TVG. This value is the lowest the TVG will go to get the echo below the
peak threshold (Peak) and above the threshold (Echo). The range for Low Limit is from 0 to 200.00%.
• Monitor allows you to monitor the current TVG amplication.
• Exponent controls the shape of the TVG curve. Exponent can range from 0 to 2.55. Values of Exponent
greater than 2.0 reduce the gain between the transducer and the middle of the vessel, often necessary for
tall, narrow vessels. Values of Exponent less than 2.0 increase the gain between the transducer and the
middle of the vessel.
• Delay shifts the TVG curve that is past the point where the blind space gain algorithm (BGN) is in effect.
The default for Delay is 0’.
• Decrease Step controls the rate of TVG decrease. The value ranges in percentage from 0.00% to
100.00%.
• Decrease Qualify controls the number of steps decreased at one time. The value ranges from 0 to 255.
• Mode allows you to switch from the standard TVG algorithm (Mode = 1) to an algorithm designed for a
specic application for a vessel lled with a very ne talcum powder (Mode = 2). The default for Mode is
1.
For Mode=1, the TVG algorithm is applied to the closest target encountered.
For Mode=2, the TVG algorithm is applied to the largest amplitude target.
For Mode=3, same as Mode 1 yet only adjusts if return echo is outside the echo or peak thresholds.
For Mode=4, same as Mode 2 yet only adjusts if return echo is outside the echo or peak thresholds.
Note Setting High Limit equal to Low Limit puts the UltraWave Series into a Fixed TVG mode, as it prevents the
UltraWave Series from raising or lowering the TVG curve in response to echoes below the Echo threshold or above
the Peak threshold.
66 NEAR GAIN
Near Gain species the near gain of the system and ranges from 0 to 100.00%. The near gain affects the ability
to pick up targets in the rst 4’ (1.2m) to 6’ (1.8m) from the face of the transducer. The default for Near Gain is
dependent on the type of transducer and application.
• Value is used to change the entry for this parameter.
• Blind Space Gain (BGN) controls the gain in the ‘blind space’ region of the transducer to help reduce
ringing. BGN can be set from 0 to 100%. The default for BGN is dependent on the type of transducer
and Quick Conguration settings.
97-1163-01 Rev. D

67 MID GAIN ADJ (CONSULT KISTLER-MORSE BEFORE MODIFYING!)
Mid Gain Adj allows the adjustment of the TVG curve in the middle distance ranges. It is generally not used. Mid
Gain Adj has two submenus:
• Position is the distance (in the selected length units) from the face of the transducer to the beginning of
the midrange delay. The default for Position is 0.
• Delay sets the midrange delay. The distance (in the selected length units) over which the TVG remains
constant. The TVG curve is shifted out past Delay. The default for Delay is 0.
68 ECHO THRESHLD (ECHO THRESHOLD)
Echo Threshld sets the echo threshold from 0 to 100.0%. The default is 35%. The echo threshold is the minimum
amplitude the echo must achieve to be accepted as a valid echo. If the echo has an amplitude less than Echo,
the UltraWave Series responds as follows:
•
If in Auto TVG mode, the UltraWave Series increases the ampli cation until it detects a valid echo or the ampli cation
reaches High Limit. If the ampli cation reaches High Limit without detecting a valid echo, the UltraWave Series
assumes that the echo is not from a valid target, ignores the echo, and transmits the next signal.
• If in Fixed TVG mode, the UltraWave Series assumes that the echo is not from a valid target, ignores the
echo, and transmits the next signal.
Note: 100% Echo = 5 VDC, 20% Echo = 1 VDC.
69 PEAK THRESHLD
Peak Threshld sets the peak threshold for return echoes. Peak Threshld only effects the results if the UltraWave
Series is in Auto TVG mode. If the echo has an amplitude greater than Peak Threshld while in Auto TVG mode,
the UltraWave Series decreases the ampli cation until the echo is below Peak Threshld or the ampli cation
reaches Low Limit. Peak threshold can be set from 0 to 100.0%. The default setting is 50.0%.
70 RANGE/FILTERS
71 MINIMUM RANGE
Figure 25: Range/Filters Menu Tree
Minimum Range displays and sets up the minimum range of the transducer. The minimum range is the minimum
distance from the face of the transducer where the UltraWave Series starts recognizing the return signal (echo).
The default minimum range is set past the transducer’s blind space to avoid interpreting the noise from the
transmission signal as a return signal. However, if there are obstructions near the face of the transducer, the
66
97-1163-01 Rev. D
Page 71
www.kistlermorse.com
minimum range should be extended past the obstructions to eliminate the possibility of interference. Minimum
Range has a submenu; Manual.
MANUAL
Min Range Set sets the distance for the minimum range.
The defaults are:
— 12” (305 mm) for 56T-25 Transducers
— 24” (610 mm) for 56T-50 Transducers
72 MAXIMUM RANGE
Maximum Range displays and sets up the maximum range of operation. The maximum range is the farthest
distance from the face of the transducer where the transducer stops recognizing the return signal. Typically,
Maximum Range should extend past the bottom of the vessel to ensure that the UltraWave Series displays
correct values when the level (or ow) is low. For level and differential level applications, the default Maximum
Range is 120% of the Span input in the Startup Procedure. For ow applications, the default Maximum Range is
120% of the Zero Distance input in the Startup Procedure.
Note: In Manual Mode, Max Range must be greater than Full Point + Span. The system will NOT allow a span
value that violates this distance. Change Max Range prior to changing Span.
73 SENTRY DSP™ (CONSULT KISTLER-MORSE BEFORE MODIFYING!)
Extraneous noise caused by acoustical or electrical interference can cause changes in the UltraWave Series
display, even though no material is moved. Sentry DSP™ helps to reduce the display changes that can result
from acoustical or electrical interference. The UltraWave Series picks the level from the rst echo as a reference
median; this is the value that is used in calculating the displayed level.
As shown in Figure 26, the UltraWave Series then compares following signals to the reference median, and
recalculates the reference median when either of the following happen:
• the number of successive signals above or below the median exceeds a triggering number
• a signal falls outside of a user-dened window around the reference median.
When the UltraWave Series recalculates the reference median, the displayed level changes to correspond to the
new reference median. Note that the Sentry DSP™ function affects setpoints, current output, and serial output
as well as the display. DSP has four submenus:
• Qualify is the triggering number of successive signals above or below the median signal value, but within
the Step window. In example 2 shown in Figure 26, Qualify is 3. When the third successive signal above
the median value (but within the Step window) is detected, the UltraWave Series moves the location of
the median value to that point or a percentage of the distance from the old median as determined by
DSPFact. This allows the UltraWave Series to respond to denite trends in level changes. The default for
Qualify is 4.
• Step Window is a window of equal height above and below the reference median. As shown in Figure 26,
97-1163-01 Rev. D
67
Page 72
www.kistlermorse.com
example 1, if a large signal change is detected that falls outside of the window, the UltraWave Series
immediately moves the location of the reference median to that point. This allows the UltraWave Series
to adjust quickly to rapid material movement.
• Enable turns the lter function on and off. The default is On.
• Delta Change determines the magnitude of change from the old reference median to the new reference
median, for change triggered by the Qualify parameter. In example 2 in Figure 26, the UltraWave Series
moves the reference median 80% of the distance from the old median to the last signal (which triggered
the change), based on a Delta Change of 80%. A value of 100% sets the new median to the last signal
value; a value of 50% sets the new median halfway between the old median and the last signal value.
Note that Delta Change does not affect the change caused by a signal falling outside of the Step
window, as shown in example 1 in Figure 26.
Note: The Sentry DSP algorithm dampens the response rate of the UltraWave Series. For demonstration/test
purposes set Enable to Off.
Figure 26: Sentry DSP Function Examples
74 NOISE (CONSULT KISTLER-MORSE BEFORE MODIFYING!)
The Noise function reduces the effect of extraneous noises that may confuse the signal processor. This menu
sets up the noise routine algorithm. The algorithm is activated when the measured noise level (Monitor) exceeds
the noise threshold level (Threshold). Noise has seven submenus:
• Monitor is used to monitor the current noise level. This value is calculated by capturing the voltage level
at the current maximum TVG gain prior to the transmit burst. Monitor has a range between 0% (0 ADC
counts) and 100% (2047 ADC counts).
• Meas Dev Ratio is used to monitor the current deviation ratio. This number is calculated by dividing the
listen deviation value (Listen Deviation) by the transmit deviation value.
• Threshold is a noise threshold. Measured noise levels (Monitor) that are above this threshold cause the
noise algorithm to be switched on. At this point, all level measurements are frozen and are only updated
when the noise algorithm qualies a valid target or the noise level falls below Threshold. The default for
Threshold is 100.0%. When Threshold is 100.0%, the noise algorithm is turned off.
• Std Dev Ratio is a deviation ratio threshold. Any measured deviation ratios (Meas Dev Ratio) larger than
Std Dev Ratio indicate a high condence level that the mean transmit target value is the actual target.
When Meas Dev Ratio exceeds Std Dev Ratio the UltraWave Series uses the mean target value to
68
97-1163-01 Rev. D
Page 73
www.kistlermorse.com
update the level measurement. The default for Std Dev Ratio is 3.0.
• Listen Deviation monitors the listen deviation value. The absolute value of each of 16 listen noise values are
subtracted from the mean value. The results of each subtraction are added together to calculate Listen deviation.
• Listen Average monitors the mean value of the listen deviation and is displayed in the current engineering
units. It is calculated by averaging 16 listen noise values.
• Tx Points provides 16 transmits and listens. This value can be modied. Consult factory.
75 WINDOW
Window sets the size of the window around the target. Only signals within the window are recognized as valid
targets, in order to minimize interference from external noise. The window is maintained around the target as the
target moves up and down (i.e., as the target moves, the center of the window moves with it). Window has two
submenus:
• Set establishes the value for the window size. Default is 0. When window is 0 the Window function is disabled.
• Lost Echo Timer sets the limit on timing if the target cannot be detected within the window.
- If the target reappears in the window within Lost Echo Timer, seconds the UltraWave Series stops
timing and maintains the window around the new target.
- If the target does not reappear in the window within Lost Echo Timer seconds, the UltraWave Series
qualies the next target (after Lost Echo Timer seconds) as the valid target, even if it is outside the
window. The UltraWave Series then sets the window up around the new target location.
The default for Lost Echo Timer is 60 seconds.
77 ECHO LOSS
Echo Loss is for the echo loss timer, which allows you to set the amount of time from when an echo loss is rst
detected to when the UltraWave Series responds to the echo loss. The echo loss timer allows the UltraWave
Series to ignore momentary echo loss which may occur occasionally. Echo Loss has two submenus:
• Timer allows you to set the amount of time from when the echo loss is rst detected to when it is
reported on the display (with an asterisk *), reported over any communications links, and causes fail-safe
conditions (Echo Loss Mode) to apply for setpoints and current outputs. The default is 60 seconds.
• Mode allows you to select the echo loss indication mode — Timed or Temporary. If Temporary is
selected, the display shows an exclamation point (!) every time an echo loss is detected, even if only
momentarily. If the echo loss continues for Timer, the exclamation point changes to an asterisk (*) and
communications links, setpoints, and current outputs are affected. If Timed is selected, the display gives
no indication of the echo loss until the echo loss continues for Timer. The default for Mode is Timed.
78 END RANGE
End Range allows you to increase the rate at which the system transmits signals for targets that are close to
the transducer. Each type of transducer has a prescribed rate at which it transmits signals, based on allowing
enough time for a return of signal from a target at the transducer’s maximum range. There are two choices for
End Range:
• MaxRange — the transducer waits the prescribed amount of time, as dened for that transducer and
97-1163-01 Rev. D
69
Page 74
www.kistlermorse.com
based on the transducer’s maximum range, before it transmits the next signal, regardless of how quickly
the previous signal was returned. MaxRange is the default and recommended setting for End Range.
• Target — if the transducer detects a target closer than the maximum range (i.e., the total time to transmit
and receive the signal is less than the prescribed time), the transducer sends out the next signal, rather
than waiting until the prescribed time has elapsed.
79 DELAY OFFSET (CONSULT KISTLER-MORSE BEFORE MODIFYING!)
Delay Off is a parameter related to the operating frequency of the transducers. It sets the propagational delay
for the electronic circuitry. Not that a change made to Delay Offset for a particular type of transducer affects all
channels that are monitoring that type of transducer. For example, if you modify Delay Offset for a 56T-25, all
channels that are using 56T-25 will use the new Delay Offset value.
90 SERVICE MENU
Figure 27: Service Menu Tree
91 ACCESS
The Access menu allows you to:
• Set a user-de ned access code
• Input the Kistler-Morse Mfg Code, which is needed when performing certain troubleshooting functions.
Access has two submenus: User and Kistler-Morse
USER
The UltraWave Series arrives from the factory without a user-de ned access code in place, allowing the user
to access any function (other than those requiring the Kistler-Morse Mfg Code or Kistler-Morse Service Code)
in the system at will. The User function allows you to set up a code to limit access to changing most system
parameters (i.e., display parameters, setpoint parameters, calibration parameters, etc.). Once a User Code is
in place and activated, your operator(s) will be able to go into the menu tree to view parameters, but will not be
able to change parameters without entering the code. Follow this procedure to set up an access code:
1. If the controller is in Auto Mode (Auto LED illuminated), press the Scan/Hold Key to put the system in
Manual Mode. The Auto LED turns off.
2. Press the Menu Key to display the Main Menu. The display shows:

3. Scroll with the arrow keys to the 90 Service Menu option. Press Enter. The display shows:
Service Menu
91 Access
4. Press Enter. Then select User, press Enter. Use the keypad to enter a one-, two-, three-, or four-digit
number. Press the Enter Key when done entering the number. The display ashes a message
acknowledging the entry and returns.
Note: Record the access code and store it in a safe place. If misplaced, call Kistler-Morse for instructions
on how to bypass the code.
Once the number is entered, you have access to all functions and hidden menus that require the code,
while you remain within the Manual Mode (i.e. you will only need to enter the code one time per Manual
Mode session, regardless of the number of functions and channels you access). The supervisor Mfg
Code (see below) has precedence over the Kistler-Morse Service Code (same as Mfg Code). If you enter
the Mfg Code in the Kistler-Morse function under the Access Menu, the UltraWave Series controller will
not require you to enter the Kistler-Morse Service Code when you change values in the Service Menu.
5. Press the Esc Key to scroll up the menu tree or the Scan/Hold Key to return the display to vessel
monitoring. The Access Code is ‘activated’ when you leave the Manual Mode. Upon returning to the
Manual Mode and reentering the menu tree, you will be prompted to enter the code if you attempt to
change a system parameter. But, you will be prompted to enter the code only the rst time you attempt
to change a system parameter within one Manual Mode session (i.e., you will only need to enter the
code one time per Manual Mode session, regardless of the number of parameters you change and
channels you access).
KISTLER-MORSE
The UltraWave Series has two factory code numbers. Certain troubleshooting functions require one of these
code numbers be entered before access to the function is permitted. The Service Code, described earlier in this
chapter, is entered when prompted by the display and is the same as Kistler-Morse Mfg Code. The Mfg Code is
entered when in the Access Menu, as described below:
KISTLER-MORSE MFG CODE
The Kistler-Morse Mfg Code is required to access hidden
menus, which are typically only used by Kistler-Morse
Meters personnel for troubleshooting and testing the

92 DEFAULT
This function clears all UltraWave Series setup parameters, resets them to factory default values, and
automatically leads you through the Startup Procedure again. Default has two submenus:
• Single clears all parameters only for the channel whose menu tree you are in and used when bringing
new channels online or recongured.
•
All clears all parameters for all the channels (including math channels). Be careful when using this submenu.
93 ENABLE
This function is used to enable or disable the channel. Disabling a channel actually causes the UltraWave Series
to stop monitoring the channel. The display shows:
Channel 1
On *
An asterisk indicates the current selection for the channel.
Pressing the up/down keys selects ON or OFF. Pressing the ENTER key saves the selection. If you have setpoint
or current output set up for the channel that you are disabling, the controller will ask whether to release I/O.
Releasing I/O will free up those channels currently used for setpoint and current output for this channel. If you
want to retain the previously entered setpoint and current output information, do not Release I/O.
Pressing the Up and Down Arrow Keys cycles the display through all channels.
MATH CHANNELS
Math Channel functions can be used to process the vessel monitoring results in many ways. A few typical uses
of the math channels follow:
• Add the level or calculate the average for the level from multiple vessels to provide information on the
total inventory of a product stored in several vessels.
• Convert the data from a vessel into another set of units, such as converting a level in feet into a weight in
pounds, to provide additional information on the vessel contents.
The number of channels available for math channels is dependent on the system you purchased:
• Single-point UltraWave Series (equipped to monitor only one channel) — 23 channels available for math
calculations (channels 2 through 24).
• One Scanner PCB UltraWave Series (equipped to monitor up to eight channels) — 16 channels available
for math calculations (channels 9 through 24).
Note: There are a total of 24 channels in Enable, consisting of channels that are monitoring transducers as well
as math channels. RSLT comes up in the Display if you scrolled to a math channel while vessel monitoring. If the
channel is a vessel monitoring channel, the menu tree shows Cal in place of Math.

Channel x will now display the average of the vessels in vessel 1 through 4.
C Identies a specic channel in the equation. C must be immediately followed by a channel number (for
example, C9 indicates the channel with factory-set ID# 9). See Appendix F for errors. All equations must
start with the current channel designation and an equal sign (for example, C9= must be the start of the
equation when you are in channel 9). When a channel number appears to the right of the equal sign, it
tells the controller to put the value from that channel (the level from a vessel monitoring channel or the
calculated value from a math channel) in the equation.
+ Addition function. Adds the value to the right of the sign to the value to the left of the sign.
* Multiplication function. Multiplies the value to the right of the sign by the value to the left of the sign.
- Subtraction function. Subtracts the value to the right of the sign from the value to the left of the sign.
Division function. Divides the value to the left of the sign by the value to the right of the sign.
= Equals function. Places the value from the entire equation to the right of the sign in the channel
designated to the left of the sign. All equations must start with the current channel designation and an
equal sign (for example, C9 = must be the start of the equation when you are in channel 9).

ln Natural log function. Takes the natural log of the value to the right of the function.
e^ Inverse natural log. Takes the inverse natural log of the value to the right of the function.
KEYBOARD FUNCTIONS
Up Arrow: Scrolls to the left through the equation (the controller can only display 16 characters in the
equation at a time, and the scroll function allows you to view equations that have more than 16
characters).
Down Arrow: Scrolls to the right through the equation.
[backspace]: Deletes the character to the left of the cursor.
Enter: Stores the current formula in memory.
MATH CHANNEL EQUATION LIMITATIONS
Following are the limitations on the equations put into the math channels:
• A single equation can be up to 40 characters in length. A character is a number, a decimal point, or a
function from the Math Menu. The example equation below contains 10 characters: C9=C1+10.0
• A single equation can contain a maximum of 3 constants (a constant is a numerical value, such as 1000).
• A constant can have a maximum of 11 characters.
• Equations cannot contain any spaces between characters. The example below shows an incorrect and a
correct equation:
Incorrect (contains spaces): C9 = C3 + C4 + C6
97-1163-01 Rev. D
75
Page 80
www.kistlermorse.com
Correct (no spaces): C9=C3+C4+C6
• The controller interprets equations using standard math rules regarding order of operations. If you are
unsure of how to apply these rules, use parentheses to ensure that the controller is calculating what you
want it to calculate.
• The maximum value that a math channel can display is limited to ve active digits, 65535 or a 16 bit
number. If the calculated value exceeds this maximum, an error message will appear when monitoring
the channel. To prevent this error, scale down the value from the equation using the divide function.
Equations containing more than 40 characters or more than three constants can be created by putting additional
math channels on-line. These additional channels can be used to calculate intermediate results used by the math
channel. The example below shows an incorrect equation with more than three constants and the use of multiple
math channels to create a correct equation.
Incorrect (contains more than 3 constants) C9=10*C3+100*C2+1000*C4+10000*C1
Correct C10=10*C3 (hide this channel)
C9=C10+100*C2+1000*C4+10000*C1
94 TVG DAC Count
TVG DAC Counts allows you to set up a transmission delay for the transducers. The amount of time between
transmit signals from the UltraWave Series will be at least TX Delay; more time will be provided if necessary
because of distance to the target. Increasing TX Delay may be useful if you have a target that causes a lot of
reverberation of signals. Delaying the next transmit signal allows the noise from the reverberation to dissipate
before the next signal is transmitted.
95 MICRO FUNC
This menu allows you to test the keyboard, test the nonvolatile RAM, reset the nonvolatile RAM to default
parameters, and monitor the serial port. It has the following submenus:
KEYTEST (KEYBOARD TEST)
This function displays the number of the last key that was
pressed. Table 6-1 lists all the keys on the UltraWave Series
keypad and their corresponding reference numbers.
NVRAM TEST (RAM MEMORY TEST) (CONSULT KISTLER-
MORSE BEFORE MODIFYING!)
This function performs an internal, nondestructive test on the
non-volatile RAM (NVRAM) on the Microprocessor PCB. This
test does not reset any parameters. Upon completion of the
test, the display should say RAM TEST PASSED! If it does not,
contact Kistler-Morse. When the test is complete, press the
Esc Key to return to the Micro Func Menu.
76
97-1163-01 Rev. D
Page 81
www.kistlermorse.com
DEFAULT NVRAM (RESET RAM MEMORY)
This function resets the non-volatile RAM (NVRAM) on the Microprocessor PCB. This resets all parameters to the
factory-set default values (i.e., calibration parameters, setpoint parameters, display parameters, etc.).
The controller requires you to enter the Kistler-Morse Service Code (9111) to access this function (unless you
have already entered it during this Manual Mode session), and requests verication before it resets the NVRAM,
to prevent accidental reset of the NVRAM.
96 COPY
The Copy Menu allows you to copy all parameters for the current transducer channel to one or all of the other
transducer channels. This can save you a considerable amount of time if you have multiple channels with the
same or similar parameters.
Follow this procedure to use the Copy Menu.
1. If the controller is in Auto Mode (Auto LED illuminated), press the Scan/Hold Key to put the system in
Manual Mode. The Auto LED turns off.
2. Use the Up Arrow or Down Arrow Keys to scroll to the channel with the parameters you want to copy.
3. Press the Menu Key to display the Main Menu. The display shows:
UltraWave Series
10 Display
4. Press the up/down arrow keys until the display shows:

90 Service Menu
5. P
ress the enter key and press the up arrow key to access the Copy Menu. Press Enter. The display shows:
Copy All Params
To All Sensors
6. To copy the parameters to all channels, press the Enter Key and go to Step 7. To copy the parameters to
one channel, press the up arrow Key and press enter, selecting Pick Sensor, go to Step 8.
7. If you selected To All Sensors the display ashed a message acknowledging your selection and returns.
Go to Step 9.
8. YY is the factory-set ID for the channel. If you selected Pick Sensors, the display looks like this:
Sensor:
* YY
Press the Up or Down Arrow Keys to scroll to the channel you want to copy the parameters into. When
you have reached the desired channel, press the Enter Key. The display ashes a message
acknowledging your selection and returns.
9. Press the Esc Key to scroll up the menu tree or press the Scan/Hold Key to return the display to channel
monitoring.

CHECKSUM CALCULATION
The one-byte checksum is calculated by adding the Hex values of all ASCII characters between the start of
message character ‘>’ or acknowledge character ‘A’ and the checksum character ’ss.’ Overows from the
addition are ignored.
Example:
Request
To request engineering units from a UltraWave Series controller, the command is:
>aa2ssr
If the controller address is ‘3’, the command is:
>032ssr
Calculating the checksum ‘ss’ as the sum of the Hex values of all characters between ‘>’ and ’ss’:
032 ASCII = 30 Hex + 33 Hex + 32 hex = 95 Hex
‘0’ ‘3’ ‘2’
Therefore, the ASCII string transmitted to the controller is:
> 0 3 2 9 5 CR
3E 30 33 32 39 35 0D Hex
Response
The response to a request for engineering units is:
Adddddddssr
If the level is 63.84 feet (transmitted without decimal points as 6384) and there is no echo loss, the
response is:
A0006384ssr
Calculating the checksum ‘ss’ as the sum of the Hex values of all characters between ‘A’ and ‘ss’:
0006384 ASCII = 30 Hex+ 30 Hex+ 30 Hex+ 36 Hex+ 33 Hex+ 38 Hex+ 34 Hex = 165 Hex
‘0’ ‘0’ ‘0’ ‘6’ ‘3’ ‘8’ ‘4’
Ignoring the overow, the checksum is 65 Hex. Therefore, the ASCII string transmitted back to the
master is:
A 0 0 0 6 3 8 4 6 5 CR
41 30 30 30 36 33 38 34 36 35 0D Hex

Problem Solution
www.kistlermorse.com
The controller is displaying
data while channel
monitoring, but the value
does not agree with the
known measured level in
the vessel.
1. Check the raw target value to compare it to the known measured level in the
vessel. The raw target is the ‘raw’ distance from the face of the transducer to the
target, before averaging, tracking, ltering, etc. are applied. The raw target has
units of inches (or centimeters).
• To obtain the raw target, press the F1 Key while in Manual Mode. The top
line of the display now shows the raw target. Press F1 again to turn off.
If the raw target value agrees with the measured level, the values input for
averaging or ltering parameters, plan or fullpoint may be causing the problem
with the displayed data. Contact the Kistler-Morse® Service Department. In order
to allow us to help you with troubleshooting over the phone, rst write down all of
the parameters you entered during the Startup Procedure, and in the Calibration
and Service Menus. See Appendix D.
2. Disconnect the transducer and reconnect it directly to the controller. Aim it
at a target of a known distance that is greater than the minimum range of the
transducer (the target must be farther than 3.5’ (1.1m) away). If the level reads
correctly, reconnect the transducer into the application and aim the transducer to
ensure proper level. Refer to Chapter III, System Installation, for installation and
aiming information.
3. Check the cable to ensure that there are no ground points within the cable.
4. Turn the AC power off. Measure the resistance across the transducer leads:
• 25’ Transducers - Verify resistance is between 180 and 220K ohms
• All other Transducers - Verify resistance is between 90 and 110K ohms.
Resistance of 0 ohms indicates a short. Resistance above the specied range
indicates a transducer or cable open or a bad connection to the controller.
• Check the connection of the transducer cable to the controller. A common
error is wires inserted in the wrong side of the crew terminal connector
clamps. Also check polarity and shield wire.
5. Verify that the frequency of operation of the channel matches the transducer
used for the application. The frequency selection can be viewed and modied in
Transducer Menu. Refer to Chapter IV, Monitor.
6. Verify that the maximum range is below the bottom of the vessel. Maximum
range can be viewed and modied in Range/Filters. Refer to Chapter IV.
7. Adjustments to the power and gain settings may be required. These
adjustments should only be made by trained operators or Kistler-Morse®
personnel. Contact the Kistler-Morse Service Department.
8. If you have followed the above steps and the displayed data still does not
agree with the known measured level in the vessel, contact the Kistler-Morse®
Service Department. In order to allow us to help you with troubleshooting over
the phone, rst write down all the parameters you entered during the Startup
Procedure and calibration.

ERROR MESSAGES
For each error message, one or more possible explanations and suggested solutions are provided.
Note: Write down all existing system parameters before you change the Form or Units. If you change the Form or
Units you must adjust system parameters to correspond to the new Form or Units.
1. AN EXCLAMATION POINT (!) ON THE DISPLAY
Explanation: 77 Echo Loss/Mode allows you to select the echo loss indication mode — Timed or Temporary. If
you selected Temporary, the display shows an exclamation point (!) every time an echo loss is detected, even
if only momentarily. The display continues to show the last valid level (or ow) until the target is ‘found’ again.
Communications links, setpoints, and current outputs continue to operate normally, based on the last valid level.
77 Echo Loss/Timer allows you to set the amount of time from when an echo loss is rst detected to when it
is reported on the display with an asterisk (*), reported over any communications links, and causes fail-safe
conditions (Echo Loss Mode) to apply for setpoints and current outputs. If an echo loss continues for Timer, the
exclamation point changes to an asterisk (*). Note that if Timed is selected, the display gives no indication of the
echo loss (no exclamation point) until the echo loss continues for Echo Loss/Timer.
Solution: Momentary echo loss will occur occasionally, due to noise, vibration, ll, etc. Set Mode to Timed if you
do not want to be notied of momentary echo loss.
2. AN ASTERISK (*) ON THE DISPLAY
Explanation: 77 Echo Loss/Timer allows you to set the amount of time from when an echo loss is rst detected
to when it is reported on the display with an asterisk (*), reported over any communications links, and causes
fail-safe conditions (Echo Loss Mode) to setpoints and current outputs. The display continues to show the last
valid level (or ow) until the target is ‘found’ again. The default for Timer is 60 seconds.
Solution: Echo loss will occur occasionally while lling. Other situations that can cause echo loss include foam
on a liquid. If echo loss frequently occurs, you may need to adjust power, Near 6 or TVG to improve the system
performance; contact Kistler-Morse.
3. A BOX (p) ON THE DISPLAY
Explanation: A box (p) displays while vessel monitoring to indicate that the system senses a temperature greater
than 300º F (149º C) or less than -100º F (-73º C). The over- or under-temperature condition is most likely caused
by a short in the temperature probe. Current outputs and setpoint relays are put in a fail-safe condition (ELM)
and the temperature condition is reported over any communication links. When an over- or under-temperature
condition occurs, the controller uses 68º F (20º C), instead of the data from the temperature probe, to calculate
the level.
Solution: Verify if there is a short in the temperature probe. Replace the temperature probe if necessary.

4. UNITS OVERRANGE
Explanation: The calculated level exceeds the maximum number for a 16-bit system (65535).
Solution a. If you selected special display units (Spec Display in the Display Menu) for the channel, check the
Format and Maximum Value. A Format of xxx.xx yields a maximum value of 65.535, while a Format of xxxxx00
yields a maximum value of 6553500. Make sure that the Format and Maximum Value is consistent with the
maximum expected value.
Solution b. Check the calibration for the channel, fullpoint and span.
5. MATH ERROR # OR SCRIPT COMPILE ERROR #
Explanation: These messages apply to math channels only. They indicate a problem with the input equation.
Solution: See appendix F, for a detailed list of the math error messages and solutions.
6. NVRAM FAILURE
Explanation: This error message will only occur at power-up. NVRAM data has been corrupted.
Solution: Contact Kistler-Morse® Technical Support at 1-800-426-9010 or 864-574-2763 or default the unit.
7. NOISE ^
Explanation: The amount of noise exceeds noise limit.

ERROR CODES
If you make an error entering an equation in a math channel, the controller will respond in one of two ways:
• After you enter the equation and press the Enter Key, the controller will not be able to compile the equation,
and will respond with a compile error code.
• After you enter the equation and press the Enter Key, the controller will respond with Script Compile
Successful. However, when you switch to vessel monitoring for the math channel, the controller will not be
able to perform the calculation and will respond with a run time error code.
COMPILE ERROR CODES
A brief explanation is provided of the possible cause for each error code. Suggestions for correcting the error are
included where applicable.
1. Equal sign not found after math channel number.
2. Equation exceeds maximum number of characters allowed (40).
Solution: Simplify equation or break it up into multiple equations, using multiple math channels.
3. Equation exceeds maximum number of constants allowed (3) OR a constant includes more than the
maximum number of characters allowed (11).
Solution: Simplify equation or break it up into multiple equations, using multiple math channels.
4. Incorrect channel ID assigned to this channel (for example, the equation says C10=, but you are in
channel 9).
5. Object buffer pointer exceeds maximum limit.
Solution: Simplify equation or break it up into multiple equations, using multiple math channels.
6. Parenthesis mismatch (i.e., the number of left and right parentheses are not equal).
7. All data registers are used up, insufcient memory is available for this channel.
Solution: Simplify equation or break it up into multiple equations, using multiple math channels.
8. Equation includes spaces between characters.
9. Equation tries to take a square root of a negative number (i.e., square root of -4).
10. Equal sign in incorrect place (e.g., C9=C2+C3=C4).
11. Equation includes an illegal character, such as a ‘.’ or a ‘+’, at the end (e.g., C1=C2+2. is illegal but
C9=C2+2.0 or C5=C2+2 are allowable).
12. Incorrect, duplicated character (e.g., C9=CC2+2).
13. Incorrect use of an operator (e.g., C9=C2+*2).
14. Operator missing (e.g., C9=C2C2).
RUN TIME ERROR CODES
A brief explanation is provided of the possible cause for each error code; suggestions for correcting the error are
included where applicable.
1. Equation tries to divide by zero.
86
97-1163-01 Rev. D
Page 91
www.kistlermorse.com
2. Equation tries to take a square root of a negative number that is calculated as part of the equation (i.e.,
square root of (8-12).
3. Equation tries to take a natural log (ln) of a negative number or of 0.
4. Result from intermediate channel being input into this channel is too large. Solution: Correct and/or scale
the equation for the intermediate channel.
5. Result is too large to display. Solution: Scale down the result by using the divide function.
