Milltronics AIRANGER DPL PLUS Quick Start Manual

OPERATION

When the Quick Start procedure is complete...

1.

"----" is displayed briefly...

The AIRANGER DPL PLUS rapidly takes measurements,
verifies repeatability, and calculates Readings.

For one vessel, the Reading is displayed continuously.

For two vessels, Readings are scroll displayed.

Difference or Average Readings (if selected) are also scroll
displayed, as Point Number 3.

The Bar Graph indicates material level (0 to 100%),
regardless of the Operation selected.

If "▲" is displayed the vessel level has exceeded 80% and
not yet fallen below 75% (Hi Alarm).

If "▼" is displayed the vessel level has fallen below 20% and
not yet exceeded 25% (Lo Alarm).

When in alarm, the corresponding relay is de-energized.

4.

View the Failsafe Time Left in % (before "LOE" is displayed).

If the value reaches 0, the "old" Reading, Bar Graph, relays,
and mA outputs are "held" and "LOE" flashes.

When a valid measurement is made, the value resets to 100.
The AIRANGER DPL PLUS advances to the "new" level;
operating displays and outputs accordingly.

PERFORMANCE EVALUATION

Monitor system performance, under all operating conditions.

If alternate display, relay, or mA output operation is required,
or "LOE" is displayed, see instruction manual PL-421.

Connect (or enable) alarm/control equipment only after

satisfactory performance is verified.

GENERAL

Quick Start details the minimum recommended start up
procedure for most AIRANGER DPL PLUS installations.

Refer to the individual product instruction manuals for
complete installation and interconnection instructions for the:

AIRANGER DPL PLUS
Ultrasonic Transducers
TS-3 Temperature Sensors (if used)
BIC-II Buffered Interface Converter (if used)

To measure distances greater than 60 m (200ft), refer to the
AIRANGER DPL PLUS manual (PL-421).

Ensure all process control equipment is disabled until

satisfactory AIRANGER DPL PLUS performance is verified.

INITIAL START UP

1.

Place the programmer in the AIRANGER DPL PLUS
enclosure lid recess. The magnetic programmer base
holds it in place.

2.

Apply power to the AIRANGER DPL PLUS,

3.

During the following procedure:

a) If the selection desired is already displayed...

no entry is required. (Advance to the next step.)

b) If an entry error is made...
