put into service, but read this manual first then you will get the most benefits from the
®
Shuttle
Ultrasonic Level Transmitter right
from the beginning.
You can always contact your representative
or the MJK Service Hotline for advice and
guidance. Also, take a look at

Safety instructions
1: Read this manual carefully.
2: Be aware of the environment at the in-
stallation site. Wear necessary protective
equipment and follow all current safety
regulations.
3: Shuttle® can provide a start signal for
dangerous machinery. Always ensure
that connected machinery and other
equipment are effectively being put
out of service (i.e. removal of main
fuses, lock main- and/or security
switches in off position) before commencing setting, fault finding, service
and maintenance work etc.
4: There is a risk of lethal electrical shock
from terminal 1 to 5 and L-N. Be careful
not to touch these while Shuttle® is in
service.
Repair
1: Repair of Ex approved equipment (ul-
trasonic transmitter) must only be made
by MJK or by a service representative
approved by MJK.
Ex equipment
1: All current local and national standards,
regulations regarding installation and use

Shuttle® - Ultrasonic Level Transmitter
Mounting
General
Shuttle® measures the level by sending an
ultrasonic signal against the surface and
measuring the delay time of the received
echo.
Although Shuttle® is equipped with a very
advanced system for eliminating measuring
errors, the ultrasonic sensor must - as much
as possible - be mounted so that the ultrasonic signal is not disturbed by liquid being
pumped in or by mixers, ladders or other
installations in the tank.
The liquid surface should also be calm and
without waves and possibly without foam
that may muffle the ultrasonic echo too
much.
Since the ultrasonic beam is extremely
narrow (3 ° - 7 ° depending on the type of
sensor), Shuttle® can be used for measurements in very narrow tanks or wells. This requires that the ultrasonic sensor is mounted
so it points absolutely vertical against the
surface - or the ultrasonic echo will simply
miss the sensor.
Explosion hazardous areas
The ultrasonic sensor is Ex approved in accordance with EN 50021:1999 and can be
mounted in Zone 2 without the need of a zener barrier. Please check local requirements
before installing in hazarduous locations.
The level transmitter (= the electronic
box with display) must not be mounted in
explosive hazardous areas.
Mechanical mounting
Level transmitter
Shuttle® is in NEMA 4X enclosure and can
be mounted outdoors directly on a wall,
a railing or a banister with mounting plate
200240 and universal bracket 200205.

Shuttle® - Ultrasonic Level Transmitter
Ultrasonic sensor
Two things are extremely important when
mounting the ultrasonic sensor: (See also
appendix C!)
1: It should be mounted securely.
2: It should be mounted absolutely vertical.
Use a spirit level in TWO directions.
To ensure a reliable and precise level measurement it
is of vital importance that the ultrasonic sensor points
down absolutely vertical against the liquid surface.
The ultrasonic sensor should be mounted
so the ultrasonic signal has no obstructions
between sensor and surface, i.e. no pipes,
cables, grates etc.
The ultrasonic sensor is equipped with a
nut for bracket mounting. Note the recess
on the nut - it must be fitted safely in the
bracket for firm fixing to the bracket:
For the highest accuracy, the ultrasonic sensor should be mounted as close as possible
to the highest possible level that can occur
+ 14 in. See below:
Min. 14 in (200570,
200640,200660)
Highest pos-
sible level

Max. measuring range:
200570: 45 ft
200640: 35 ft

200660: 30 ft
We deliver two types of sensor brackets that can be
used in almost any installation. The bracket shown is a
standard universal mounting bracket (200220).

The ultrasonic sensor is delivered as
standard with 39 ft of cable. The ultrasonic
sensor can be delivered with up to 300 ft of
cable on order, or the standard 39 ft cable
can be extended to max. 300 ft.
The cable is a special low capacity cable,
so extensions should always
be made with the same type of cable.
On of the most common faults on a Shuttle®
installation is bad or faulty cable connections or using cables that dose not meet the
required specifications.
It is recommended to use connection
box 200590 if the sensor cable must be
extended.

When Shuttle® is connected to the power supply for the first
time, the mA-output is automatically set to provide 4 mA at
zero level and 20 mA at a level corresponding to 14 in below
the ultrasonic transmitter.
In this example the range of the mA output is changed from
0 - 4.95 ft to 1.5 - 4.5 ft. Changes made will not affect the
relay settings.
Note: Both values can be set over the whole range thus

With this function Shuttle® learns if there are any disturbances in the well or tank that could appear as a true echo.
Disturbances can result from inlet pipes, the pump installation, a slanted bottom, etc.

practically eliminate the chance of locking on a false echo.
Shuttle® will look for a maximum of 15 echos.

Shuttle® - Ultrasonic Level Transmitter
Trouble shooting
General
Almost all system errors are due to the echo from the ultrasonic sensor being either too weak
or missing. This is normally caused by incorrect installation of the ultrasonic sensor, a faulty
ultrasonic sensor or by faults on the cable between the ultrasonic sensor and the Shuttle®
level meter. Other factors also have an influence on the ultrasonic level measurement. But
always check first that the ultrasonic sensor is installed correctly and is working properly. See
also the fault finding table on the facing page.
Indications on system errors
First, Shuttle® will indicate that the echo is too weak or missing. After 5 minutes Shuttle® displays 'S.Err', and if one of the relays is set to be activated on a system error, the relay will be
activated after the delay time. At the same time the signal from the mA output will be either
locked on the last known value or provide a preset signal value (3.5 - 20.5 mA). Other valid
error types are temperature errors, internal stack errors and EE-PROM errors (see below).
If the problem disappears, Shuttle® will change back to normal read-out. At the same moment, the relay output set as alarm output will switch back to its normal position and the mA
output will provide a normal signal.
Normal read-out
Shuttle® receives an echo
that has sufficient strength
for a safe and reliable level
measurement.
Too weak or missing echo
The received echo is too
weak for Shuttle® to perform a safe and reliable level
measurement.
System (sensor) error
If echo is still weak after 5
minutes, Shuttle® enters
system error mode and
sends an alarm. Also, relays
configured for pump control
will be deactivated.
Temperature error
Contack an MJK service
representative, if a temperature error appers.
Internal stack error
Contack an MJK service
representative, if an internal
stack error appers.

C Sensor mounting considerations
General
The ultrasonic sensor is characterized by a
very narrow spread of the ultrasonic signal
(3 ° - 7 ° depending on the type of sensor),
which makes it possible to use the ultrasonic sensor under very tight conditions, i.e. in
narrow wells or tanks. 80 % of the ultrasonic
signal is concentrated within this area, which
will give a sufficient echo in the far most
cases.
It is required though, that the ultrasonic
signal is not being muffled or disturbed by
gratings, pipes, cables etc., and that the
ultrasonic sensor is not mounted so the
ultrasonic signal is sent too close to a tank
wall or well wall.
The spread of the ultrasonic signal
The illutration to the left shows the spread
of the ultrasonic sensor in conjunction with
the measuring distance, the ultrasonic signal
spread will be 23 in at a measuring distance
of 30 ft.
Acordingly, as the measuring distance increases, the distance from the center line to
a smooth wall should also be increased.

Measurements
Along a wall / other surface
The values in table 1 assume the ultrasonic
signal is sent along a smooth surface like
a wall or plane without any projections,
joints, butts etc.
If the surface is not smooth or has projections (i.e. joints on prefab elements), the
ultrasonic signal will be impedeaded too
much, and for that reason
the values for minimum distance to wall in
table 1 should be increased with
50 to 100 % !
Through a concrete deck
When the ultrasonic sensor is measuring
through a concrete deck, the dimension
of the opening should be made as shown
below: (See table 1 for the sensor spread.)
Min. diameter (D)
= sensor spread +
100 %
In a tank / container
If the ultrasonic sensor is mounted for
measurement of the level in a closed tank or
container, it should measure through a pipe
with a cutoff as shown below:

Active measuring range
Shuttle®'s measuring range is normally set automatically to
a distance corresponding to the ultrasonic sensor's distance
to zero level + 1.5 ft.
It may become necessary to decrease the active measuring
range so it corresponds to the highest and lowest possible
levels in the well /tank - especially if the ultrasonic sensor is
mounted above a steel grating or an opening in a well cover.
In this example, the Shuttle®'s active measuring range are
decreased from 14 in - 45 ft to 4.50 - 9 ft measured from
the sensor - that is 9.00 ft from the bottom to 4 in below the
grating or cover.

Shuttle® - Ultrasonic Level Transmitter
Measuring method (application)
Shuttle®'s high accuracy is partly obtained by controlling the
strength of the ultrasonic pulse based on the strength of the
received echo. (AP 1)
When performing level measurements on foaming surfaces,
granulate, sludge etc., the received echo is generally so
weak that it would be better to let Shuttle® send out the
ultrasonic pulses with full strength constantly. (AP 2)
Also, when performing level measurements on surfaces with
very rapid level changes, it can be necessary to moderate
the influence of the learning function (see also page 28) to
prevent Shuttle® from locking on false echos. (AP 3)
Select measuring method with arrow keys.
If 'AP 1' is selected, the ultrasonic pulse will be controlled in
accordance with the strength of the received echo.
'AP 1' should normally be selected for fluid applications.
If 'AP 2' is selected, Shuttle® will transmit with full strength
constantly.
'AP 2' should normally be selected for sludge / granulate
applications.
If 'AP 3' is selected, Shuttle® will be better to catch rapid
level changes.
'AP 3' should normally be selected for measuring in sludge
containers, grating matter or other aqueous matter.
