Section 1: Introduction
1.1 General Description
The 504-1000 Series ultrasonic VeriGAP™ switch is an integral assembly
which senses liquid presence by ultrasonic techniques and energizes a relay
which can be utilized to indicate and/or control the liquid at a predetermined
level.
A high frequency acoustic signal is transmitted through the sensor gap when
liquid is present. When liquid is not present, no signal transmission occurs.
See Figure 1-1. When a signal is received, an electronic circuit produces a
relay output. The ultrasonic sensor does not contain moving components.
It is not affected by electrical or physical parameters of the process material
and will operate over a wide temperature range. These characteristics make
the 504-1000 a very reliable and economical solution to industrial liquid
level control operations.

504-1200 Series Ultrasonic VeriGAPTM Introduction
A high frequency acoustic signal is transmitted through the
sensor gap when liquid is present. When liquid is not present,
no signal transmission occurs. See Figure 1-3. When a signal
is received, an electronic circuit produces a relay output.

The ultrasonic sensor does not contain moving components. It
is not affected by electrical or physical parameters of the
process material and will operate over a wide temperature
range. These characteristics make the 504-1200 a very reli-
able and economical solution to industrial liquid level control
operations.The ultrasonic sensor does not contain moving com-
ponents and is not affected by electrical or physical param-
eters of the liquid. These characteristics make the VeriGAP a
very reliable and economical solution to industrial liquid level
control operations.
Inherent benefits of the VeriGAP include high reliability and
minimum maintenance, as they are not affected by variations
in liquid viscosity, density, pressure, temperature, or electrical
properties. For applications where the sensor will be coated or
the liquid is aerated, consult the factory at 1-800-527-6297.
As an option, the ultrasonic two-wire VerifyTM circuit is used in
conjunction with the VeriGAP for pushbutton verification
that the entire control system is functioning properly. This
option is used with High Level Fail-safe devices only. It simu-
lates a high level at the sensing element to meet spill preven-
tion regulations and recommended practices. This test may
also be used for ISO 9000 validation of your high level
alarms and spill prevention systems.
An optional Drexelbrook Point Level Receiver provides power
to the VeriGAP and monitors its current draw. Relays are
activated on change of level states.

Section 2: Installation
2.1 Unpacking
Carefully 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 immediately to the factory (1-800-527-
6297).
2.2 Mounting The Instrument
The 504-1000 electronic unit was designed for eld 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 at start-up, place
the instrument in a reasonably accessible location. Ambient temperatures
should be between -40°F and 160°F (-40°C to 70°C).
VeriGAP switches can be mounted in any orientation vertically. If the unit
is mounted horizontally, rotate the sensor so that the electrical hub is down
and the sensor slot is vertical. This allows any product buildup on the sensor
to fall free. Note orientation of wrench ats relative to the gap.
