Pointek ULS 200
Note: Pointek ULS 200 is to be used only in the manner outlined in this instruction
manual.
Pointek ULS 200 is an ultrasonic based process level switch providing high or low switch
action on liquids or solids. The process part (sensor) is Tefzel®or Kynar Flex®, allowing it
to be used in a wide variety of industries.
Pointek ULS 200 contains an ultrasonic transducer and temperature sensing element. The
transducer emits a series of ultrasonic pulses. Each pulse is reflected as an echo from
the material and sensed by the transducer. Pointek ULS 200 processes the echo using
Milltronic's proven Sonic Intelligence®techniques. Filtering is applied to help
discriminate between the true echo from the material and the false echoes from
acoustical and electrical noises and agitator blades in motion. The time for the pulse to
travel to the material and back is temperature compensated and then converted into
distance for display and relay actuation.
The Pointek ULS 200 is an excellent primary detection device, but should not be used as
a backup device. For backup devices use a contacting technology such as the Pointek
CLS 200. The optional sanitary version affords quick removal and ease of cleaning as
demanded by the food, beverage, and pharmaceutical industries.

Installation
The Pointek ULS 200 should be mounted in an area within the temperature range
specified and suitable to the housing rating and materials of construction. Make sure the
cover is accessible to allow programming, wiring, and access to the display.
Keep the Pointek ULS 200 away from high voltage or current runs, contactors, and SCR
control drives.

Warning: Explosion Hazard. Substitution of components may impair
suitability for Class 1, Division 2 applications.
Location
Locate the Pointek ULS 200 so that it has a clear sound path perpendicular to the
material surface.
The Pointek ULS 200 sound path should not intersect the fill path, rough walls, seams,
rungs, or any other obstruction.
