SYSTEM DESCRIPTIONS
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The Two / Four Wire Series Liquid Level systems are state-of-the-art level measurement instruments. Based on the latest ultrasonic technology, the LVU-1500 Series provide an ef ficient, r eliable and cost effective means of level control.
The LVU-1500 Series consists of two major components, a non-contacting ultra­sonic sensor and a compact, integral electronic control.
The unit is available in a variety of sizes and materials to suit virtually any applica­tion. Standard mounting configurations include 3/4” and 2” NPT fittings. Flange mounting is also available to meet user specifications. Sensor material construc­tion includes 316SS, Kynar or Teflon.

PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION
PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION
In operation, the electronics generate an electronic signal which is converted by the sensor (mounted on the top of the vessel) to a burst of ultrasonic pulses. These pulses are transmitted through the air towar d the liquid surface. As the pulses reach the liquid sur face, they ar e r eflected back to the sensor. Those received echoes are converted back to an electr onic signal which is then sent to the microprocessor. The microprocessor uses the r eturn signals to calculate the time it takes for the pulses to travel to the liquid surface and back. This “Time of Flight” is directly proportional to the distance of the liquid surface from the sen­sor. The microprocessor then compares these calculated values with user pro­grammed system parameters to provide the requir ed control outputs.

INST ALLATION
CONTROL UNIT INSTALLATION
1. Open the control unit enclosur e and r emove the printed cir cuit boar d.
2. Replace printed circuit boar d and r oute power and contr ol wiring to the enclo­sure. Observe all applicable local electrical codes and wiring procedur es.
3. Connect power and control wiring to the contr ol unit as shown in Wiring Diagram (see figures 2 and 3).
4. Be sure that all wiring is car efully dr essed to pr event pinching between the housing and the cover.
SENSOR INSTALLATION
The sensor is mounted on the top of the vessel with the sensor facing downward. A clear path, free of any obstructions must be provided between the sensor and the liquid surface. Due to the narr ow sensor beam patter n, vertical axis position­ing of the sensor is important. The sensor must be installed perpendicular to the liquid surface.
1. For a sensor provided with an NPT threaded fitting, drill a suitable hole in the vessel top and tap for the correct NPT thread. In thin walled vessels, or ves­sels constructed of material not suitable for tapping, weld or braze a bushing to accept the sensor.
2. Screw the sensor into the threaded fitting being car eful not to cr oss thread the sensor. When possible, the use of a pipe compound or sealing tape is recom­mended. AVOID OVER TIGHTENING!
3. For flange mounted sensors, simply bolt the sensor / flange assembly to the proper mating flange connection.
4. Route the sensor cable to the electronic control unit and connect per the Wiring Diagram (see figures 2 and 3). IF ROUTING THE SENSOR CABLE THROUGH CONDUIT, A DEDICATED CONDUIT SHOUT BE UTILIZED. AVOID ROUTING THE SENSOR CABLE IN CLOSE PROXIMITY TO ANY SOURCE OF ALTERNATING CURRENT OR RFI.
CAUTION: DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REMOVE A THREADED SEN­SOR FROM THE VESSEL WITH THE CABLE ATTACHED TO THE CONTROL UNIT, OTHERWISE IT MAY DAMAGE CABLE.

WIRING
Note: All wiring between the power supply and the transmitter should be accom-
plished with 18 AWG to 22 AWG shielded twisted pair. The connection is made at the terminal strip within the transmitter enclosur e. Befor e you con­nect the power line to the transmitter, be sure that the voltage identification on the nameplate matches the power supply. DO NOT attempt to operate this unit at voltages other than as identified or it will damage the unit.
CAUTION:UNITS ARE DESIGNED TO OPERATE ON DC POWER ONLY. APPLICATION OF 120 VAC WILL DAMAGE THE INSTRUMENT.
1. Make sure the power sour ce is turned off.
2. Pull power supply wires thr ough conduit connection.
3. Connect the positive supply wire to the (+) ter minal, and the negative supply wire to the (-) ter minal. Refer to Wiring Diagram (Figur es 2 and 3).
4. Replace the transmitter housing cover until it is time to calibrate.
5. Connect the positive supply wire to the positive ter minal of the power source.

GENERAL
The Two Wire and Four Wire units ar e calibrated via BCD switches. All data entered during the calibration procedur e is stor ed in a nonvolatile memory to prevent loss of data in the event of a power failure.
CALIBRATION PROCEDURE
Unscrew the control unit cover and use the following pr ocedures:
1. Dial ZERO setting though “top BCD switches” in incr ements of 1” up to 360” (30 feet) (special units can be set to an increment of 0.1” up to a span of
99.9”) (e.g.: 12” can be set as 012 on BCD switches).
2. Dial SPAN setting through “bottom BCD Switches” in increments of 1” to 360” (30 feet) (special units can be set to an increment of 0.1” up to a span of
99.9”) (e.g.: 12” can be set as 120 on BCD switches).
3. Set “JP1” jumper for height/distance mode Height Mode: Zero Setting: 20mA
Distance Mode: Zero Setting: 4mA
4. Turn on the power, the unit is ready for operation. While the cover is unscrewed, observe lost echo LED. If the unit has not
detected a reliable echo for over 10 seconds, the LED will tur n on and the unit will draw approximately 22mA indicating an error condition.
