target.Distance Mode Output signal increases as the distance increases (reverse acting output)Distance to Zero Flow This is the “No Flow” condition in a flume or weir. It may be to the bottom of the flume/weir, or depending on the type of flume/weir the “no flow” condition may be above the bottom of the flume/weir, with standing water below this point.Fault Indication Output goes to 3.7 mA or 22 mA (user selectable in configuration menu) during a fault condition such as Lost Echo or Near Zone. See Error Messages section Flow Mode Output increases as level (head height) increases. Output is non-linear with level and is based on Flume/Weir primary element characterization, or strapping tableFlow rate The instantaneous flow rate measured in flow mode of operation. Flume Size A selection of the various throat sizes of specific flume and weir tables contained in the pre-programmedsoftware.Flume Type A selection of the specific flume and weir types that have been pre-programmed in the software. Gain Adjustment The USonic’s default gain setting is with SmartGain™, abbreviated a “HD” in the software code. Other gain settings are available for use in abnormal application requirements. Contact the factory before changing from “HD” mode. HD Adjustments SmartGain™ (sometimes seem abbreviated as “HD”) provides an algorithm that permits the system to ignore most internal obstructions that are inside of the ultrasonic beam path. Changing an “HD” setting will allow this same algorithm to be used at different power settings. Consult factory before changing HD Adjustments.Head Units In Flow configuration the level measurement (bottom of flume/weir to surface of level) is referred to a head height. Enter the units in flow rate that will be used, GPM (Gallons per minute), MGD (Million Gallons per Day), M3/Hr (Cubic Meters per Hour, Litres per Second, Litres per Minute)Input Type Allows the selection of Level, Distance, Volume or Flow. Based on user input type selection, the USonic menu items will only allow data entry in valid, related menus. I.e.: If Level is selected, menu’s for distance, volume and flow are locked out.Level The measured distance from the sensor face to the target minus the tank height. Or, the distance from the tank bottom to the liquid surface.Level Mode Output signal increases as the level increases (direct acting output)Lost Echo A condition that occurs when the ultrasonic transmission does not return to the sensor. This could be due to foam, irregular surface, dished tank bottom, etc.LRV (Lower Range Value) The point at which the output signal is equal to 4 mA (0%). Also see Zero.Glossary of TermsviiGlossery of Terms Max Flow This is the maximum flow rate that is expected in a specific flume or weir. This is not necessarily the maximum flow that the flume/weir is capable of producing.Maximum Capacity Used in level to volume conversions, the maximum capacity of the vessel at a known maximum level point.Near Zone The distance below the sensor where the measurement cannot be made (12 inches/305 mm)Range The maximum distance measurable from the sensor faceRange of Percent The percentage of level or distance between the LRV (4 mA, 0%) point and the URV (20 mA, 100%), always enabled on the display.Repetition Rate This is the number of milliseconds that elapses between ultrasonic pulse transmissions. Longer repetition rates may be helpful if there are multiples reflections that are being picked up or if lost echoes are encountered due to intermittent presence of foam or agitator blades. Consult Factory before changing this parameter.Sensor Offset Used to tell the transmitter the amount of distance above or below the tank height that the sensor is mounted in order to calculate the tank volume.Span The point in the vessel where the output signal is equal to 20 mA (100%). Also see URVStrapping Table Correlates Level information to Volume information. A 21-point table that can be customized to accommodate an irregular shaped vessel, flume or weir. Information is entered as a Level “in” point vs. a Volume “out” point for all 21 possible points.Tank Height This is the measurement from the Tank Bottom to the face of the sensor.Time Delay Time delay allows signal averaging over the specified duration (0-90 seconds). Useful if wave action causes the output signal to be too “jumpy” for control / indication use.Totalizer reset The USonic has two totalizers, one that is a permanent record of the total volume that has been measured and a second totalizer that can be reset to zero by the user. The Reset Totalize can be reset to zero in the configuration software to allow the user to take periodic measurements from a reference point in time.Totalizer Scale The totalizer keeps record of the total volume that has passed through the flume/weir. In large flumes & weirs multipliers annotate this total volume. Each “count” on the totalizer can be representative of an exponential volume of water (X-1, X-10, X-1M, X-100, X-1,000, X-10,000 or X-100,000 can be selected)URV (Upper Range Value) The point at which the output signal is equal to 20mA (100%). Also see Span.Volume The level of the liquid in the vessel converted to volume based on tank strapping tables, Zero The point in the vessel where the output signal is equal to 4 mA (0%). Also see LRV.Glossary of TermsUSonic™ US-XX SeriesviiiQuick Start Menu1.00 Input Type Select Application Type1.01 Type Level / Distance / Volume / Flow2.00 Level Enabled Only When Level Selected2.01 Units Inches / Feet / Meters / Centimeters / Millimeters2.02 Tank Height User Defined Numeric Value2.03 Sensor Offset User Defined Numeric Value2.04 LRV User Defined Numeric Value2.05 URV User Defined Numeric Value3.00 Distance Enabled Only When Distance Selected3.01 Units Inches / Feet / Meters / Centimeters / Millimeters3.02 LRV User Defined Numeric Value3.03 URV User Defined Numeric Value4.00 Volume Enabled Only When Volume Selected4.01 Level Units Inches / Feet / Meters / Centimeters / Millimeters4.02 Tank Height User Defined Numeric Value4.03 Sensor Offset User Defined Numeric Value4.04 Vessel Type Vertical / Hor Cyl Flat / Hor Cyl Dished / Hor Cyl Hemi / Sphere / Custom4.05 Load Standard Table Vertical / Hor Cyl Flat / Hor Cyl Dished / Hor Cyl Hemi / Sphere 4.06 Vessel Units Gallons / M3 / Liters / Barrels / Imperial Gallons4.07 Max Capacity User Defined Numeric Value4.08 LRV User Defined Numeric Value4.09 URV User Defined Numeric Value5.00 Flow Enabled Only When Flow Selected5.01 Flume Type Parshall / Palmer Bowlus / Trapezoidal Flume / Rect Weir W/ End Contr. / Rect Weir W/o End Contr. / Trapezoidal Weir / V-Notch Weir / Custom / H-Flume / Leopold Lagco5.02 Flume Size Code from Table / or / Numeric Value5.03 Flow Units GPG/ MGD / M3/HR / LPS / LPM5.04 Max Flow User Defined Numeric Value5.05 Head Units Inches / Feet / Meters / Centimeters / MillimetersMenu Navigation:1.

For example, a loss of echo may occur when large amounts of foam are present.Strapping Table: Displays the value of the input to level and output to volume in percent in a 21-Point table. This also allows points to be changed to accommodate irregular shaped vessels and custom flume or weir characterizations.Introduction3Sensor Offset: Sensor Offset is used to tell the transmitter the amount of distance above or below the top of the tank that the transducer face is located in order to calculate the tank volume. Sensor Offset can be applied in cases where:• The transducer protrudes below the top of the tank, or• The transducer is mounted above the top of the tank, or• A pipe extension is installed to raise the transducer face 12 inches above the tank height to compensate for the 12-Inch Near Zone. See Section 5.8.1.1.5 Definition of Terms (Continued)1.6 Types of OutputLevel Mode: Output increases as the internal level of the vessel increases. Level output is the most common type of output measurement. Configuration is referenced from the bottom of the vessel.Distance Mode: Output increases as the distance increases away from the transducer. Configuration is referenced from the Transducer Face.Flow Mode: Output increases as head height level increases (increasing flow rate). Output is non-linear with level changes and is based on the flow characteristic of a selected Flume, Weir, or strapping table for a custom primary flow device.Fault Indication: Output goes to 3.7 or 22 mA (user selectable) during a fault condition such as Lost Echo or Near Zone violations.USonic™ US-XX Series41.7 Types of Flumes and Weirs The USonic™ Supports the Following Flumes and Weirs: Flume Diameter (D)D/2Leopold-Lagco Flumes (Variable Sizes):Introduction5PlanMeasuring PointFlumeSizeFront“H” Flumes: Code Inches Millimeters1 6 1522 9 2293 12 3054 18 4575 24 6106 30 7627 36 9148 54 13721.7 Types of Flumes and Weirs (Continued)USonic™ US-XX Series6Conduit Diameter (D)D/2ThroatPalmer Bowlus Flumes: Code Inches Millimeters1 4 1022 6 1523 8 2034 10 2545 12 3056 15 3817 18 4578 21 5339 24 61010 27 68611 30 7621.7 Types of Flumes and Weirs (Continued)Introduction7Crest Lengthmin. 3-4 H maxH maxTrapezoidal (Cipolletti ) Flume: Code Size1 Small 60° V2 Large 60° V3 X Large 60° V4 3 ft 60° V5 2 in 45° WSC6 12 in 45° SRCRC7 24 in SRCRC1.7 Types of Flumes and Weirs (Continued)Trapezoidal (Cipolletti ) Weir (Variable Sizes): USonic™ US-XX Series8V-Notch Angleºmin. 3-4 H maxH maxV-Notch Weirs: Code Size1 22.5°2 30°3 45°4 60°5 90°6 120°1.7 Types of Flumes and Weirs (Continued)Introduction9Crest LengthFLOWmin. 3-4 H maxHRectangular Weirs (Variable Sizes):1.7 Types of Flumes and Weirs (Continued)Crest Lengthmin. 3-4 H maxH maxCrest Lengthmin. 3-4 H maxH maxCrest LengthFLOWmin. 3-4 H maxHRectangular Weir with End Contractions Rectangular Weir without End Contractions USonic™ US-XX Series10W2/3 ZZParshall Flumes:Code Inches Millimeters1 1 252 2 513 3 764 6 1525 9 2296 12 3057 18 4578 24 6109 36 91410 48 121911 60 152412 72 182913 96 24381.7 Types of Flumes and Weirs (Continued)Installation11Section 2: Installation2.1 UnpackingCarefully remove the contents of the shipping carton and check each item against the packing list before destroying any packing material. If there is any shortage or damage, report it to the factory immediately.2.2 Mounting the TransmitterThe USonic transmitter is available only as an integral construction. The electronic transmitter is located within the tube assembly of the sensor and is not serviceable by the user. Tampering with this construction will void any existing warranties. See Figure 2-1 for standard mounting dimensions.Figure 2-1Mounting Dimensions12.5(318)2 (51)MAXIMUMTURNINGRADIUS1/2" NPTM20(2)TAG LOOP 6.5 (165)8.38(213) 1.9(48)2.38(60)WRENCHFLATS3.53 (90)2" NPT BSPGND(-)(+)(+) LOOPHART COMM(-) LOOPHART COMM14(355)1.9(48)5.6(142)3.7(94)4.6(118)Explosion Proof 3/4" NPT2" NPTUSonic™ US-XX Series122.2 Mounting the Transmitter (Continued)Figure 2-2 Mounting RecommendationsDEAD ZONEDEAD ZONE5˚� 5˚�The USonic Series transmitter is designed for field mounting, but it should be mounted in a location as free as possible from vibration, corrosive atmospheres, and any possibility of mechanical damage.For convenience when adjusting and configuring, place the USonic Series in a reasonably accessible location.Ambient temperature should be between -40°F to 158°F (-40°C to 70°C).The transmitter must be mounted vertically with transducer perpendicular to the liquid surface. When mounting the USonic Series transmitter, consideration must be given to the 12-Inch (305 mm) Near Zone. If the level rises to within 12 inches (305 mm) of the sensor face, a user selectable 3.7 mA or 22 mA error signal is generated; Error message ( ) is indicated.The conical beam of the USonic Series is approximately 10 degrees. Therefore it is necessary to ensure that there are no unnecessary obstructions within this beam path. Erroneous reflections can adversely affect system operation.For Open Channel Flow use, an optional mounting kit is available for mounting above a flume or weir to position the system above the flow stream. The mounting kit allows movement vertically and horizontally for maximum placement.• Part # 285-0001-188 (316 SS)Refer to drawing 285-0001-188-CD for Mounting Details.Installation132.3 Wiring the TransmitterWARNING! If the USonic Series transmitter is located in a hazardous environment, do not open the enclosure cover or make / break any electrical connections without first disconnecting electrical power at the source. Ensure that wiring, electrical fittings and conduit connections conform to electrical codes and Approval Agency Control Drawings for specific location and environment.See Figure 2-3 for the wiring diagram of the USonic Series transmitter.Connect 2-wire input power / signal leads to the terminal block as shown. It is recommended to use twisted, shielded pair to eliminate noise. The shield (or drain) wire should be grounded at the power source and left floating at the USonic Series Transmitter end.Figure 2-3Wiring (14 – 22 AWG)12 1/2"2"MAXIMUMTURNINGRADIUS1/2 NPT(2 )TAG LOOP6 1/2"8 3/8"1 7/8"2 3/8"WRENCHFLATS3 17/322" NPTGND(- )(+)041102A ssyA11-11-04-T DH-1Explosion Proof HART®COMMUS-2X SeriesUSonic™ US-XX Series142.4 Installation ExamplesSmooth wall in beam with no otherobstructions will not cause false echoes.10 ft(3.1m)1 ftProtrusion from the wall at an anglegreater than 45 degrees maycause false echoes.31.5 inches(80 cm)31.5 in(80 cm)10.5 in(27cm)10.5 in(27cm)10 ft(3.1m)30 ft(914 cm)When there are no obstructions within the beam area, there is no chance of false echoes or readings.5oProtrusions from the wall at an angleless than 45 degrees does not causefalse echoes.30 ft(914cm)greater than 45°less than 45°Lost EnergyInstallation152.4 Installation Examples (Continued)When mounted in the center of domed-roof tanks, reflected echoes can be redirected back to the transducer.

Span too SmallTroubleshooting 25Section 4: TroubleshootingThe USonic™ Series Ultrasonic Level system is designed to give years of unattended service. No periodic or scheduled maintenance is required.4.1 Troubleshooting Procedures If a problem should occur with the operation of the transmitter, use the following procedure for troubleshooting.1. Ensure wiring connections are correct.2. If the liquid surface has severe turbulence in the area where the ultrasonic beam hits, consider increasing damping time.3. Splashing of material or condensation on the transducer face could cause unreliable measurements.4. Any continuous ultrasonic transmitter signal / echo can be adversely affected by significant foam on the liquid level surface. If this condition exists, please consult the factory for further application review and advice.5. Ensure that the transducer face is not recessed into a mounting nozzle, unless a high discrimination setting is used. Spurious reflections from the nozzle can cause faulty operation. See Function 7.20 & 7.216. To indicate a fault condition, the 4-20 mA signal locks to 22 mA (or 3.7 mA) . If output is locked at 22 mA (or 3.7 mA), check that: A) The level of the material has not violated the near zone (12 inches, 30 cm) from the transducer face.B) The low calibration setting is not more that 360 inches (30 ft., 610 cm) from the transducer face.7. Test for 4 mA and 20 mA.A) Using PC Software, HART Communicator, or Display Keypad (Access Fct.7.09) to force the output signal to a constant 4 mA or 20 mA.8. If attempts to locate the difficulty fail, notify the local factory representative, or call Drexelbrook directly. To aid in troubleshooting, please complete the information in Section 4.5 before calling the factory service department.USonic™ US-XX Series264.2 Optimized Field CalibrationConfiguration Menu Function 9.01 allows a 1-Point calibration based on a known actual distance. This can adjust for any possible variations that may exist in the speed of sound, or to provide an optimized calibration data point in difficult applications. • Using PC Software, HART Communicator, or Display Keypad (Access Fct. 9.01) and enter the correct actual distance from the transducer face to level. The USonic will use this data point as reference on all future readings, unless "Restore Factory Settings" is selected.4.3 Troubleshooting the Loop Connections.Specific transmitter loop connections vary with each installation, but in general are connected in a similar manner to the typical transmitter loop in Figure 4-1. When troubleshooting the loop connection, verify the following items.· Loop devices are wired in series.· There is at least 250 ohms total loop resistance.· There is at least 19 Vdc available for the transmitter when a loop current of 4 mA is flowing.· Refer to Figure 4-1Notes:1. Modem will operate from 32 to 122 ºF (0 to 50 ºC). It can be stored from -40 to +185 ºF (-40 to +85 ºC). 0% to 95% relative humidity - non condensing.2.

Is modem non-isolated from ground and/or is your laptop plugged into AC power.? If so youmay have ground problem. Contact Service department.2. Some laptops don't provide enough voltage to drive modem correctly from COM Port. Check with modem supplier or try a different laptop.3. Checkout "Yes" response tests listed below.NoYesCheck:1. If current is greater than 22 mA disconnect at sensing element and re-check.2. If loop current is 0 mA, check polarity of loop at transmitter. If it is OK, check for open loop.3. If loop current is between 0 and 3 mA transmitter is likely bad.4. Check voltage at transmitter it should be at least 12 volts when 20 mA is flowing in the loopNoYes1. Check Power Supply and loop source resistance (the 250 ohms may be built in as with the Drexelbrook 401-500 series or most DCS inputs).2. If not there add enough resistance for loop to be at least 250 ohms.1. Check calibrator connections to loop per loop drawing.2. Check for "noise" and ripple on loop with oscilloscope. Maximum noise level per HART Foundation is 1.2 mV rms (500 - 10 kHz). Maximum ripple (47 - 125 Hz) specification is .2V p-p. Line noise can sometimes be traced to things like motor speed controller wiring in close proximity with transmitter. Noise can sometimes be overcome by increasing loop resistance thereby increasing calibrator signal. Noise effects can also be reduced by connecting calibrator directly at transmitter. Generally noise is only a problem when calibrator is communicating with transmitter and does not affect normal operation of transmitter.3. Check voltage at transmitter. It should be at least 12 volts when 20 mA is flowing in the loop.4.4 Diagnostic MessagesMessage Cause SolutionLost Echo1) Ensure the level is within the measurement range of the transducer. 2) Look for any obstructions that may be interfering with the return echo.Near Zone ViolationThe level has entered the transducers Near Zone. Insure that there is no level or obstructions within 12 inches of the transducer face.USonic™ US-XX Series284.5 Telephone AssistanceIf you have questions about your AMETEK Drexelbrook equipment:• Contact your local Drexelbrook representative• Call the Drexelbrook Service department at: +1-215-674-1234To expedite assistance, please provide the following information:Instrument Model Number: _________________________________Original Purchase order number: _____________________________Material being measured: ___________________________________Temperature: _____________________________________________Pressure: ________________________________________________Agitation: _______________________________________________Brief description of the problem: _____________________________ ________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________Checkout procedures that have failed: _________________________ ________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________4.6 Equipment Return / WarrantyIn order to provide the best service, any equipment being returned for repair or credit must be pre-approved and have a return number issued by the factory.In many applications, the equipment is exposed to hazardous materials.• OSHA mandates that our employees be informed and protected from hazardous materials.• Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) listing the hazardous material that the system has been exposed to must accompany any return.• It is your responsibility to fully disclose all chemicals and decontaminate the returned items.To obtain a return authorization number (RA#), contact the Service department at: 215-674-1234Troubleshooting 294.6 Equipment Return (Continued)Please provide the following information:Model Number of Returned Equipment: ________________________Serial Number: ___________________________________________Original Purchase Order Number: _____________________________Process Material that the equipment has been exposed: ____________MSDS for any hazardous materialsBilling Address: __________________________________________Shipping Address: _________________________________________Purchase Order Number for Repairs: __________________________Please include a purchase order number even if the repair is under warranty.

The default is Inches. Choose the units that correspond to the level measurement.2. Edit the Tank Height to agree with the actual tank height (not the length of the sensing element).3. Enter a Sensor Offset Value. The software calculates the maximum tank volume based on the value entered in the Tank Height field. With 0.0 entered as the Sensor Offset value, the software assumes the transducer face is mounted flush with the top of the tank (Tank Height ). Sensor Offset is used to tell the software the amount above or below the top of the tank that the transducer is located in order to calculate the tank volume.USonic™ US-XX Series38Figure 5-5 Sensor Offset5.8.1 Level Configuration (Continued) Sensor Offset can be applied in cases where:• The transducer protrudes below the top of the tank or,• The transducer is mounted above the top of the tank or,• A pipe extension is installed to raise the transducer face 12 inches above the tank height to compensate for the 12-Inch Near Zone.• See Figure 5-5• If the transducer is mounted above the top of the vessel, a positive value is entered in Sensor Offset .• If the transducer is mounted below the top of the tank, a negative value is entered in Sensor Offset.4.

A longer repetition rate ensures that transmitter is not affected by reflected sound waves from the curved roof.• A lengthened repetition rate also helps reduce loss of echo due to foam.Application Notes for Near Zone and Lost Echo Settings• Application requires Overfill Prevention (no spills) Material cannot go over high point Near Zone typically set 22 mA Lost Echo typically set 22 mA• Application requires Low Level Prevention (pump will not run dry) Material cannot go below low point Near Zone typically set 22 mA Lost Echo typically set 3.7 mA Near Zone and Lost Echo Fault OutputsSelect the output current of a Near Zone and Lost Echo fault condition. Low Current: 3.7 mA High Current: 22 mAConfiguration and Calibration45 GainSelect the gain setting for the ultrasonic instrument. HD (High Discrimination)• High discrimination mode automatically reduces the effect of nuisance echoes created when mounting the transducer in a nozzle or mounting the transducer inside a pipe up to 14 inches above the tank opening.• The high discrimination mode reduces any effect from agitator blades and/or small obstructions. It also reduces system interference caused by electrical noise.• The high discrimination mode should not be used in applications where foam is present. Standard Gain• Accesses step gain selection.• The step gain settings can be used to decrease the ultrasonic return signal and avoid noise interference.• For example, the power produced to shoot the 30-Foot signal could possibly cause nuisance reflections from irregular sidewalls, tank obstructions, or agitator blades. By reducing the gain of the transmitter using the step gain settings, the effect of nuisance reflections can be eliminated.1. Click on Write to Transmitter to save the configuration.2.
