Safety instructions

The compact transmitters Prosonic T FMU have been designed to operate safely in
accordance with current technical and safety standards and must be installed by
qualified personnel according to the instructions in this manual. The manufacturer
accepts no responsibility for any damage arising from incorrect use, insatallation or
operation of the equipment. Changes or modifications to the equipment not expressly

Level echos from the blocking distance (BD) cannot be evaluated due to the transient
characteristics of the sensor. Install the Prosonic T at a height so that the blocking
distance BD is not undershot, even at maximum fill level. Use a pipe nozzle if you cannot
maintain the blocking distance in any other way. The interior of the nozzle must be
smooth and may not contain any edges or welded joints. In particular, there should be
no burr on the inside of the tank side nozzle end. Note the specified limits for nozzle
diameter and length.

If the blocking distance is undershot, it may cause device malfunction.

Do not install the sensor in the middle of the tank (3). We recommend leaving a
distance between the sensor and the tank wall (1) measuring 1/3 of the tank radius.
Use a protective cover (page 18), in order to protect the device from direct sun or rain
(2).
Avoid measurements through the filling curtain (4).
Make sure that equipment (5) such as limit switches, temperature sensors, etc. are not
located within the emitting angle . In particular, symmetrical equipment (6) such as
heating coils, baffles etc. can influence measurement.
Align the sensor so that it is vertical to the product surface.
Never install two ultrasonic measuring devices in a tank.

When the display module is used, the Prosonic T is operated via an operating matrix.
The current matrix position and the associated parameter (e.g. measured value) are
displayed on the module. The bargraph represents the measured value or the echo

The basic functions for simple applications (empty and full calibration, locking and

Commissioning without display module

When operated without the display module, the empty- and full-distance are detected
by the instrument itself and have to be confirmed by a key combination.
Methods of calibration

after installation: The vessel is emptied to 0% and filled to 100% afterwards.

before installation: The respective levels are simulated by directing the Prosonic T at
the appropriate distance to a plain wall.

Linearization

After the basic calibration, the measured value is displayed in V0H0 as a percentage of
the span. The value can be converted into any other unit by the linearization function.
Four different modes of linearization can be selcted in V2H0.
Linearization mode
"Level" (V2H0=0)

Use this mode, if you want to display the level in the length unit, which has been
selected in V8H2 (m or ft).

Linearization mode
"linear"(V2H0=5, Default)

Use this mode, if you want to measure:

the level in any unit other than m, ft or
%.
the volume or weight, if the volume-tolevel relationship of your vessel is
linear.

Error message

As long as a linearization table is being entered, the current output indicates an error
message. The error disappears as soon as the table is complete and activated.

The current output always follows the measured value V0H0. Therefore, the

chapter 6.3).

Current output

In V8H1 you can define the mode of the current output. You have got the following
options:
Continuous output

V0H6
F

4 mA threshold
(V8H1=1)

Binary output
4/20mA (V8H1=2) or
8/16mA (V8H1=3)

Current
20 mA

In the continuous mode, the output

directly follows the measured value
V0H0.
V0H5 and V0H6 define the interval of the
measuring range which is mapped to
the current interval 4 ... 20 mA. The
factory settings (V0H5=0, V0H6=100)
can only be used if no linearization is
present. In any other case these values
must be specified in the unit of the
linerization.
If V0H5 is larger than V0H6, then the
current output is inverted. That means
the current decreases if the level
increases and vice versa.

In addition to the linear scaling the 4 mA threshold becomes effective in this option. It
makes sure, that the current output does not fall below 4 mA even if the measured value
is less than V0H5. Use this option, if your control system can not handle currents below
4 mA.

If binary output is selected, the current

only assumes two possible values:
It jumps to 20mA (or 16mA), as soon as
the measured value exceeds V0H6.
It jumps to 4mA (or 8mA), as soon as the
measured value falls below V0H5.

Echo Quality
(V3H2)

Prosonic T FMU 230/231

Additional parameters

The echo quality of the ultrasonic signal is displayed in V3H3 in steps from 1 to 10.
Additionally it is indicated by the bargraph in the matrix positions V0H8 and V0H9. Use
this display in order to find the best installation position. For a sound measurement, the
echo quality should be at least 5.

Interference echo
suppression (V3H0)

The interference echo suppression is used

when the level echo is not detected
because a fitting is generating a stronger
interference echo. Up to three interfernece
echos can be suppressed. The
suppression should be activated with the
tank as empty as possible.

Step
1

Matrix
position
V0H8

V3H0

V0H8

Entry / Meaning
Check the displayed distance between sensor diaphragm and product surface. An
interference echo suppression is necessary, if the displayed value is too low.
Enter the actual distance between sensor diaphragm and product surface. Confirm
by pressing H. Wait approx. 40 s. The interference echo is suppressed.
Check the displayed distance between sensor diaphragm and product surface. If
the displayed value is still to low, a furhter interference echo must be suppressed.
Therefore, repeat Step 2.

Temperature
(V3H5)

The actual temperature at the sensor is shown in V3H5. If the limit of 80C has been
exceeded once, the highest value ever reached remains stored (drag indicator).

Lost echo delay time

(V8H3)

The lost echo delay time makes sure that no alarm will be output if the echo becomes
lost for a short period of time (for example due to foam). Values between 0 and 255 s
can be entered. The dafault setting is 60 s. For standard applications the lost echo delay
time should be not less than 30 s.

Actual level
(V3H1)

Falsifications in height in V0H9 (e.g. by temperature effects) can be corrected by

entering the correct height - the actual height - in V3H1. Entering the actual height then
automatically corrects the empty calibration.

First Echo Factor

(V3H4)

Vessels with tightly rounded roofs (dome covers) can cause double echos giving rise to
a display showing a level which is too low. Double echos can be excluded by increasing
the first echo factor to "maximum".

Output damping
(V0H4)

V3H4

First Echo Factor

off

The effect of the output damping is to attenuate the analogue output and the measurand
indication on the display of the Prosonic T. When the liquid surface is not steady, a
steady reading can be obtained with the aid of the output damping. Values from 0 to
255 s can be entered. The default setting is 3 s. Please note, that the Prosonic T can not
resolve level changes faster than the output damping.

3. Check if V0H0 assumes the correct value.
4. Set V9H6=0 to return to the ordinary operation mode.

1. Set V9H6=2
2. In V9H7, enter a main value (level, volume or weight).
3. Check if the output current (V9H8) assumes the correct value.
4. Set V9H6=0 to return to the ordinary operation mode.
