The HydroRanger 200 HMI (Human Machine Interface) is a six-relay ultrasonic controller
for Level and Volume measurements, available in single- or dual-point models. It has
Open Channel Monitoring capabilities, a large number of advanced pump control
algorithms, and is equipped with digital communications.
The HydroRanger 200 HMI features menu-driven programming and a host of wizards for
plug and play performance, accessed through its four-button navigation panel with
backlit graphical display.
Features
•Easy to use interface with local push-button programming.
•Menu-driven parameters and wizard support for key applications.
•Level, Volume, and Open Channel Flow measurements.
•Six relays combined with a suite of pump, alarm, and relay control features.
•SIMATIC PDM connects directly to the device using Modbus.
•Two discrete inputs for backup level override.
•Communication using built-in Modbus RTU via RS-485.

PROFIBUS DPV1, and DeviceNet.
•Auto False Echo Suppression for fixed obstruction avoidance.
•Installation must only be performed by qualified personnel, and in accordance
with local governing regulations.
•This product is susceptible to electrostatic shock. Follow proper grounding
procedures.
All field wiring must have insulation suitable for at least 250V.
Hazardous voltages present on transducer terminals during
operation.
DC input terminals shall be supplied from a source providing
electrical isolation between the input and output, in order to
meet applicable safety requirements of IEC 61010-1 (e.g. Class 2
or Limited Energy Source).
CAUTION: Observe electrostatic discharge precautions prior to
handling electronic components within the wiring compartment.
•Relay contact terminals are for use with equipment that has no accessible live
parts and wiring that has insulation suitable for at least 250 V. The maximum
allowable working voltage between adjacent relay contacts shall be 250 V.
•The non-metallic enclosure does not provide grounding between conduit
connections. Use grounding type bushings and jumpers.
•Before opening the lid, ensure that the inside of the enclosure will not be
contaminated with liquids or dust from the local environment.
•Ensure power is removed from the HydroRanger 200 HMI before servicing.
Follow all local electrical safety codes and guidelines.
•Ensure power is removed from the HydroRanger 200 HMI before disconnecting
or connecting the HMI.
•The HydroRanger 200 HMI electronics must only be installed in the vented
enclosure which accompanies the product.
•The equipment must be protected by a 15 A fuse or circuit breaker on all currentcarrying conductors in the building installation.
Suitable location for conduit entries. See recommended pattern below.
Drill for M20-size
conduit holes.
CAUTION: Observe electrostatic discharge precautions prior to handling
electronic components within the wiring compartment.
1.Disconnect the Display cable by pressing the locking tab and pulling it straight out.
2.Remove the four mounting screws holding the plastic cover and motherboard to the
enclosure.
3.Remove the plastic cover by pulling it straight out. Be careful not to damage the
motherboard and other electronic components with static electricity.
4.Remove the motherboard from the enclosure by pulling the board straight out. Be
careful not to damage the electronics with static electricity.
5.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. Please see
the illustration below.
6.Attach the conduit to the hub before connecting the hub to the enclosure, using only
approved suitable-sized hubs for watertight applications.
7.Reinstall the motherboard and plastic cover; secure them with the mounting screws.
8.Reconnect the Display cable.
Note: For conduit locations and assembly for hazardous mounting in Class I, Div 2
applications, please see Drawing A5E35806240A in
Cable exposed and entering through the cable glands
1.Unscrew the glands and attach them loosely to the enclosure.
2.Thread the cables through the glands. To avoid interference, ensure that the power
cable is kept separated from the signal cables, and then wire the cables to the
terminal blocks.
3.Tighten the glands to form a good seal.
Note: Where more holes are required than are supplied in the enclosure, follow
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/processinstrumentation
Cutout dimensions
.
Cutout instructions

•Life expectancy: 10 years
•Type: Lithium metal coin cell
Dispose of battery in an environmentally safe manner, and according to
local regulations.
Installing a replacement battery
1.To ensure that the most recent data is
written to non-volatile memory, use the local
push buttons to enter Program mode by
pressing .
2.Return to Measurement mode by
pressing.
3.Disconnect power to the device.
4.Open the enclosure lid.
5.Slide the old battery out of the holder.
