Configuration Examples
The configuration examples used in this manual illustrate the versatility of the
HydroRanger 200. Because there is often a range of ways to approach an application,
other configurations may also apply.
In all examples, substitute your own application details. If the examples do not apply to
your application, check the applicable parameter reference for the available options.

3.Drill the required cable entry holes. Make sure conduit holes do not interfere with
the lower areas on the terminal block, circuit board, or SmartLinx card.
4.Attach the conduit to the enclosure using only approved suitable size hubs for
watertight application.

1.Unscrew the glands and attach them loosely to the enclosure.
2.Thread the cables through the glands. Ensure the power cable is kept separated
from the signal cables and then wire the cables to the terminal blocks.

Installing the panel mount unit requires making a cutout in the panel. The dimensions for
the cutout are provided in the illustration below. A full size cutout template is provided
with your unit or may be downloaded from www.siemens.com/processautomation
Cutout Dimensions

Cutout Instructions
1.Select a place for the unit and fasten the template onto the panel (use tape or
tacks).
2.Drill the four fastener holes.
3.Make the cutout using the appropriate tools.
4.Mount unit according to the instructions in this manual.
Once cutout is complete and mounting holes are drilled, follow these steps:
1.Remove lid from unit by undoing the six lid screws and lifting it off its hinges.
2.Remove the four screws holding the motherboard to the enclosure.
3.Be careful not to damage the electronics with static electricity. Remove the
motherboard from the enclosure by pulling the board straight out.

5.Replace board and fasten the four screws.
6.Place the unit into the panel and insert hexagonal fasteners through bevel slots and
predrilled panel holes.
7.Fasten with wingnuts and hand tighten.
8.Add conduit or glands and wire as required, then replace the lid.
Helpful hint:
•Use tape to hold hexagonal heads in slots while attaching wingnuts.
The battery (Rayovac BR2032) has a ten-year life expectancy. Please note the life
expectancy may be reduced by ambient temperature. If the unit loses external and
battery power, a capacitor will power the RAM for about ten minutes.
Disconnect power before replacing the battery.

Installation
Installation Steps
1.Open the enclosure lid.
2.Slide the battery into the holder. Be sure to
align the + and – terminals correctly.
3.Close and secure enclosure lid.
Note: All parameter values are written to the EEPROM once every hour. The
battery is used to backup Standard Data Logging parameters (P300-P321)
between writes, in case of power failure.
•Verify that all system components are installed in accordance with instructions.
•Connect all cable shields to the HydroRanger 200 Shield Terminals. Avoid differential
ground potentials by not connecting cable shields to ground (earth) anywhere.
•Keep exposed conductors on shielded cables as short as possible to reduce noise
on the line caused by stray transmissions and noise pickup.

Run the transducer cable in a grounded metal conduit, separate from other

•Do not use coaxial cable because of electrical noise interference
•Do not connect the shield and white transducer wires together; wire to separate

Power Failure
Relays 1, 2, 4, and 5 are
normally open and will fail
in the normal state.
Relays 3 and 6 can be
wired either normally open
or normally closed, and
will fail in their deenergized states.
Accurate temperature readings are critical to accurate level measurements because the
speed of sound changes, depending on air temperature, and all Siemens Milltronics
Echomax and ST-H transducers have an internal temperature sensor.
If the following conditions apply, a separate TS-3 temperature sensor will ensure
optimum accuracy:
•the transducer is exposed to direct sunlight (or other radiant heat source)
•the transducer face and monitored surface temperature differs
•faster response to temperature changes is required
Note
TEMPERATURE SENSOR
Use a T-S3 Temperature
Sensor only. Leave
terminals open (unused) if
TS-3 is not deployed.
mA Input [6 relay model]
For more information, consult the Transducer (P004) and mA Input Parameters (P250,
P251, and P252) in the parameter reference section.
mA Output
For more information, consult the mA output parameters (P200 to P219) in the parameter
reference section.
Note: The HydroRanger 200 CANNOT be synchronized with the HydroRanger.
When using multiple ultrasonic level monitors, be sure to run the transducer cables in
separate grounded metal conduits.
When separate conduits are not possible, synchronize the level monitors so that no unit
transmits while another is waiting for echo reception.

Synchronizing with another HydroRanger 200, or other Siemens Milltronics
instruments (DPL+, SPL, XPL+, LU01, LU02, LU10, LUC500, Hydro+,
EnviroRanger, MiniRanger):
•Mount the level monitors together in one cabinet
•Use a common power (mains) supply and ground (earth) for all units
•Interconnect the SYNC terminals of all level monitors
•Set parameter

Power
Important!
Before applying power to the HydroRanger 200 for the first time, ensure any
connected alarm/control equipment is disabled until satisfactory system operation
and performance is verified.
Notes for AC power connections
•The equipment must be protected by a 15 A fuse, or circuit breaker in the
building installation.
•A circuit breaker or switch in the building installation, marked as the disconnect
switch, must be in close proximity to the equipment and within easy reach of the
operator.
