Introduction
The EnviroRanger is intended for advanced water and wastewater
applications. This device can handle virtually all of your pump control and
level monitoring needs – often replacing expensive PLCs and integrating into
a SCADA system for a fraction of the cost of competitive systems.
The EnviroRanger is programmable.
It can be configured for nearly any water or wastewater application and
control up to five pumps, gates, or alarms – and can communicate its status
by way of direct serial connection, modem, or industrial communication
network.
The EnviroRanger is flexible.
It can take discrete input from pumps or other devices and modify its
operation based on that input. It can also time events to maximize efficiency
or minimize cost.

About the EnviroRanger
The EnviroRanger has two modes of operation:
Program Mode
Program mode allows the programmer to change parameter values and alter
the way the unit operates.
Note:
• If the unit has been programmed and is in normal operation then
putting it in program mode will de-energize all control relay outputs.
Therefore it is advisable to bypass the EnviroRanger while
programming the unit to avoid overflows.
• After a programming alteration, do not use the EnviroRanger to
operate alarms or controls until system programming and performance
is verified.
To enter Program mode from Run mode:
About the EnviroRanger
1. Press the program button on the front of the device (Rack or Panel only)
2. Look for the program icon on the display (
3. Press
If the EnviroRanger is idle in Program mode for more than 5 minutes, then
Run mode is automatically entered.
For information on the individual programming parameters see the chapters
Application Examples on page 23 or Parameter Reference on page 55.
and then .
) (Rack or Panel only)
Run Mode
Run mode detects material level and provides control functions. The
EnviroRanger automatically starts up in the Run mode when power is
applied.
To enter Run mode from Program mode, press
“----“ is displayed briefly while the measurement reading is calculated and
verified. Reading level and other data is displayed and any relays are
operated based on the unit’s programming.
.
While the unit is in Run mode you can view system status. This information
is shown on the LCD on the front of the unit or can be accessed remotely
using communications software.

Programming the EnviroRanger
To meet the needs of any given application the EnviroRanger must be
correctly programmed. The EnviroRanger is programmed by changing
parameter values. The available parameters are described in detail in the
Parameter Reference on page 55 and sample applications are given in
Application Examples on page 23.
Rack or Panel Mount
To enter program mode on a rack
or panel mount unit:
Press the program button on the
front of the unit (shown at right)
This icon (
canbeplacedinprogrammode.
) appears when the unit
Wall Mount
The wall mount version has no program button, it is always ready for
program mode.
Aim the hand programmer and press the program keys on the hand
programmer (shown above).
Programming
The program button allows multiple units to be installed close together and
still be programmed one at a time.
Program mode is confirmed by the icon (
disable programming, press again. Run mode is confirmed by absence of
the icon in the display. Disable all nearby units to avoid inadvertent
programming when using the infrared handheld programmer.
Note:
Unless otherwise noted, each valid key press should produce a change in
the LCD, look for this when programming the unit.
PL-556 EnviroRanger Programming Reference Page 15
) appearing in the display. To
Starting Program Mode
Entering program mode has the following effects:
• all operating data is retained in memory
• alarm relay status is held at last known values
• control relays are de-energized (unless affected by parameter alteration or
is pressed)
• discrete inputs are detected but not acted on
The Run mode is automatically re-entered if the EnviroRanger is left
unattended in the program mode for an extended period (approximately 5
minutes).
Parameter Indexing
Parameters are indexed if they can apply to more
than one input or output. The index value defines to
which input or output the particular parameter value
relates. Indexed parameters contain a value for
each index, even if that index is not used.
Note:
To set all indexed values for a given parameter to the same value use
index “0”.
Programming
For example, to change the Relay Control Function (P111) for relay three
you must ensure that “03” is displayed in the index field before you change
the parameter value.
In this manual parameter index values are shown in brackets after the
parameter number. For example P111[3] refers to parameter 111 index
value 3.
Note:
Transducer parameters are indexed only if Operation (P001) is set to
“Difference” (value=4) or “Average” (value=5). An indexed transducer is
commonly referred to as a Point (short for measurement point). The term
Point Number refers to indexed transducers.

nearly all functions are also available through Dolphin Plus.
The Dolphin Plus software is available separately from Milltronics.
Changing Parameters (Hand Programmer)
1. From Run mode, press and then to put the unit into Program mode.
Note:
If Parameter Value alteration is not permitted, access the Lock parameter
(P000) and enter the security code, (see Programming Security).
2. Press to select the Parameter Number field (see page 10)
3. Type the Parameter Number (e.g. 110)
When you type the third digit the value for that parameter is shown

Special Parameters
View Only
Some Parameter Values are for display purposes only and cannot be
altered. These are referred to as view only parameters.
In the Parameter Reference section of this instruction manual, view only
parameters are identified by a “(V)” beside the Parameter Number.
Global
Some parameter values must be common for all inputs and outputs on the
EnviroRanger. These are referred to as global parameters.
When a global parameter is accessed, the index display automatically
disappears. When a non-global parameter is accessed, the index previously
selected for that parameter is displayed.
In the Parameter Reference section of this manual, Global parameters are
identified by a “(G)” beside the Parameter Number.
Indexed
Some parameter values relate to indexed items. Examples of this are
parameters which are different for each:
• Relay, shown with an “(IR)”
• Transducer, shown with an “(IT)”
• Discrete Input, shown with an “(IDI)”
For full descriptions of parameters and how they are indexed, see How to
Read the Reference on page 55.
Parameter Reset
To set any parameter back to the factory default:
• Display the appropriate parameter number
• Display the appropriate index value (if required)
• Press
• Press
Programming
To reset all parameters to preset values, see Master Reset (P999).
Perform a Master Reset (P999) to reset all parameters to “original” values
before initial system installation, following a software upgrade, or whenever
complete reprogramming is required. Use Dolphin Plus to store and retrieve
parameter groups.
PL-556 EnviroRanger Programming Reference Page 19
Security
All operator programming is retained in non-volatile memory, immune to power
interruptions. When programming is complete, the programmer may be locked
away to prevent inadvertent programming alteration. As well, the Lock (P000)
parameter may be used.
Displays
The following displays are shown when the EnviroRanger cannot display a
number.

Planning Considerations
Review the Application
When reviewing the application into which the EnviroRanger will be installed,
note the:
• Pump control system inputs and outputs
• Dimensions of the wet well or reservoir (especially if pumped volume will be
used)
• Maximum measurement distance required (will determine transducer
requirement)
• Communication type required (modem, industrial communication network)
Design the Control Scheme
Choose the most appropriate pump control strategy from those available.
See Appendix C – Pump Control on page 215 for a description of the
EnviroRanger pump control strategies and options.
Map the Control Scheme to EnviroRanger
Once the control scheme is designed, map its requirements to the
EnviroRanger’s parameters. Be aware of the EnviroRanger’s abilities:
• Number of relay outputs (5)
• Number of discrete inputs (8)
• Number of mA inputs (1)
Install the EnviroRanger
Mount and wire the EnviroRanger as detailed in the EnviroRanger
Installation Guide (PL-557).
Program the EnviroRanger
Use the Application Examples (page 23) and Parameter Reference (page
55) to determine the best method of programming the EnviroRanger to
satisfy the control scheme.
Planning
Use either Dolphin Plus or a hand programmer to set the parameter values
to those required.
PL-556 EnviroRanger Programming Reference Page 21
Test the Installation
Test the inputs and outputs as shown in Testing the Configuration on page
49.
Document the Installation
Use Dolphin Plus to record your parameter values for later reference.
Planning
Page 22 EnviroRanger Programming Reference PL-556
Application Examples
Note:
When the unit is first turned on it will give distance (P001=3) in meters
from the transducer face to the material surface. If the wet well or reservoir
is empty then this reading is the empty distance (P006) from the
transducer face to the reservoir bottom. P006 is preset to 5.0m (16.4’), so
reservoirs deeper than that will read LOE until P006 is updated.
Output Limitations
The standard EnviroRanger comes with 5 relay outputs. Each relay is
programmed using P111 (IR) Relay Control Function (see page 74) from a
large number of options. Use these application examples as a guideline for
the relay programming.
