IMPORTANT
The first time power is applied to the mounted Shuttle® level transmitter and ultrasonic
sensor, the level transmitter must be configured for the connected sensor type.
The procedure is located on page 14, "Applying power".
If, at a later time, another or a newer sensor type is connected to the transmitter,
the level transmitter must be re-configured accordingly.
The procedure is located on page 69, "Appendix F New sensor / changing sensor".

Introduction
Introduction
Thank you for choosing a Shuttle® Ultra­sonic Level Transmitter.
We have done everything possible to make a level transmitter that can fulfill all your demands.
®
Shuttle
is suitable for all kinds of level measurements with ultrasound and can control and supervise levels in wells and tanks - including aggressive and polluted media.
The level meter is both easy to install and 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 http\\:www.mjk.com.

Shuttle
measures the level by sending an ultrasonic signal against the surface and measuring the delay time of the received echo.
Although Shuttle 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 (between 3 - 7 ° depending on the sensor type), Shuttle 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

Mounting
Ultrasonic sensor
Two things are extremely important when mounting the ultrasonic transmitter: (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 + 35 cm (types 200570, 200640 and 200660) or 80 cm (type 200630). See below:
Min. 35 cm (200570, 200640,200660)
Highest pos-
sible level
Min. 80 cm (200630)
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).

Ultrasonic sensor
The ultrasonic sensor is delivered as stand­ard with 12 metres of cable. The ultrasonic sensor can be delivered with up to 100 m of cable on order, or the standard 12 m cable can be extended to max. 100 m.
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.
